Only two weeks after returning to the U.S. from Europe, the Eagles embarked on a tour of the East Coast. This gig at the Expo in Portland, Maine was only the second date of the tour. Also appearing that night were Mountain and a New Hampshire group, John Perrault & Friends.
Although there are no reviews from the show, the setlists from this period were very similar. The Eagles played songs from their first two albums, interspersed with new material they were trying out for their forthcoming album, On The Border (see the Worcester, Mass show, two days before the Expo, where Randy performed his lost song, “Wait & See,” and the next show in Morehead, KY on December 4th).

All four band members wore the same green shirt with yellow writing. The front said “Eagles” and the back “Carlo Sound.” Carlo Sound was a Nashville sound company, who worked on some of the Eagles’ early tours.
