Randy’s last name is misspelled in the review as “Meysner.”
Randy Meisner first met Glenn Frey & Don Henley when he filled in for Linda Ronstadt’s bassist at a place called Chuck’s Cellar in Los Altos, CA in June 1971.
In November and December 1971, the Eagles were sent to Colorado by David Geffen to develop their sound and audition for legendary producer Glyn Johns.

These photos were probably taken in late 1971 or early 1972. Randy’s fringed jacket can be seen in photos and footage from his Rick Nelson & The Stone Canyon Band period.
“The Eagles before their first record and hence before they were famous. They were being scouted by Glyn Johns who was by then already my dear friend. They look young and happy and not road weary.” –Ethan Russell.
Photographer: Eve Babitz
Location: Corner of Santa Monica Blvd and Doheny Drive, Beverly Hills, CA.
