=====================================

Here we have an Eagles concert from 1979 which I really enjoyed hearing.
This comes from Mauro‘s tape collection and incidentally had been shared on guitars101 back in 2019.
so I revisited this recording and it really needed a lot of help.
The transfer levels were almost nonexistent and the volume was very low.
I amplified it an additional +18 dB just to bring it up to a good volume.
In addition, the tape speed was very slow and needed to be pitch corrected.
I spent an entire afternoon reworking this recording and I think I fixed it up really well.
Now we have a very decent recording to listen to and this should be the best version available.
So if you don’t have this recording, this is going to be a real treat for the Eagles fans .

Total Time = 01:45:04

03 Already Gone
04 In The City
05 Doolin-Dalton >
06 Desperado

08 I Can't Tell You Why

09 Desperado
10 Heartache Tonight
11 One of These Nights

14 Life's Been Good
15 Life in the Fast Lane (end cut)
-- tape change --
16 Rocky Mountain Way
17 Greeks Don't Want No Freaks
18 Take It Easy

One interesting thing about the setlist is that right after Doolin Dalton they go into Desperado starting on the second verse.
Then they do a couple more songs and then do Desperado again in complete form.

The only real flaw in the recording is the end of Life in the Fast Lane gets cut off, otherwise this is a complete recording.
