Certain Kind Of Fool

EAGLES
Akron University Gym, Akron, OH
May 13, 1973

The Eagles opened for Spooky Tooth

“Ex-Poco member, Randy Meisner, made his subtle and important mark on the evening by doing his “Certain Kind Of Fool” and “Tryin'”–both numbers of high energy and Poco-like vocals. Meisner’s bass playing is simple, but steady.” -Jim Gerard, Cleveland Scene, May 17, 1973
