The Eagles performed two nights each in Glasgow, Scotland and Stafford, England. In Glasgow, Joe Walsh played the bagpipes in a kilt, and Randy’s version of “Take It To The Limit” was a highlight at both venues.
Forty-four years ago this week, the Eagles gave an interview for BBC Radio 1 in London shortly after their arrival to kick off their European tour. Each member is interviewed individually, including Randy who answers questions for a full six minutes.
The Eagles played the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam on November 12th and De Doelen in Rotterdam on the 13th. The group also received an award and took a set of famous photos.
The Eagles, with opening act, McKendree Spring, played Wetherby Gymnasium on the campus of Morehead State University. It was during this visit to MSU that Randy purchased the yellow Morehead jersey he wore during the filming of Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert.
Linda Ronstadt was also on the bill.
This sold-out double bill in Cleveland was the Eagles’ final U.S. appearance before they embarked on a month-long European Tour. Opening for the band both nights was Jimmy Buffett.
Opening for the Eagles were FLC students, Sam Vann and John Mascaro, as well as the Talbot Brothers.
