RANDY MEISNER
The Summit, Houston, TX
February 12, 1981

Randy opened for The Beach Boys in his first concert appearance in two-and-a-half years.

Critics praised Randy’s performance, and his opening set was a highlight of the evening.

Bob Claypool, Houston Post, February 13, 1981:

“On a brighter note, there was a fine opening set from former Eagle Randy Meisner, who had plenty of new stuff to offer, including such country-rockers as ‘Hearts On Fire’ and “Come On Back to Me.”

Dale Adamson, Houston Chronicle, February 14, 1981:

“The only real bright spot to Thursday’s show was ex-Eagle Randy Meisner’s opening set. Although he hasn’t quite developed into a forceful bandleader yet, his group’s tight harmonies and bright country rock sound–particularly on tunes like ‘Heart’s On Fire’ and ‘Trouble Ahead’–provided the only fully satisfying musical moments in an otherwise altogether forgettable evening.”
