EAGLES
Market Square Arena, Indianapolis, IN
November 22, 1976
The Eagles played Market Square Arena in Indianapolis, IN on November 22nd, 1976. J.D. Souther opened.
Before the show, Randy, Don Felder, and J.D. Souther were spotted grabbing a bite at the Burger King down the street from Market Square Arena.
“Don Felder, Randy Meisner and a 3rd guy I believe was JD Souther came into a Burger King I managed which was a block from old Market Square Arena in Indy where they were playing that night. I went to counter and said hi guys. They replied in kind. Saw them on stage in same clothes that evening.” –@jn_walkerjr on X
Randy’s performance of “Take It To The Limit” was the highlight of the evening and earned him a standing ovation.
“The man who stole the show, perhaps, was bass player Randy Meisner, who sang lead only once. The number was last winter’s giant hit, “Take It To The Limit.” Meisner had ’em cheering long before the finish of the song. His clean, crisp high vocals earned him the only standing ovation for an individual performance.”

Review from Indianapolis News, November 23, 1976. Joe Walsh is incorrectly identified in the photo as Don Felder.
I was at that show. J.D.Souther opened and he was really good but the crowd was eager to see the Eagles and was chanting Eagles,Eagles before the end of his set. I felt bad for him because he was great. Randy Meisner stole the show with his vocals on “Take it to the Limit”. Of course, Joe Walsh had everyone excited to see him play some James Gang tunes and didn’t disappoint. One of the best shows I’ve seen in 50 years of concert attendance.
