“Tin Soldiers & Nixon Coming” – The Eagles At Kent State
Forty-seven years ago today, the Eagles played Kent State University on the eve of the 5th anniversary of the Kent State Shootings. But it was not without controversy.
Forty-seven years ago today, the Eagles played Kent State University on the eve of the 5th anniversary of the Kent State Shootings. But it was not without controversy.
The Eagles headlined at Day On The Green in Oakland, CA, May 1977.
The Eagles were the headliners at the third annual Ohio University Music Festival in Athens, Ohio, less than two weeks after the release of their second album, DESPERADO.

Welcome to our Concert Archive. This is an ongoing project where we hope to document, as accurately as possible, the performance history of Randy Meisner. Each date below has been fact-checked and includes a link to a source (in many cases, a review). These can be found by clicking on the venue.
Please contact us with any discrepancies or additions.

These dates feature some of Randy’s earliest known performances, most of which are with the Drivin’ Dynamics, the high school band co-founded by Randy in 1961 in Scottsbluff, Nebraska. However, we did locate performances by other early bands such as The Thunderbirds, Randy’s first band, as well as The Invaders and the Randy Meisner Combo. It’s worth noting here that The Drivin’ Dynamics are billed in almost every performance below as just “The Dynamics.” Randy left the band in the summer of 1966 to join the Soul Survivors from Denver.
Note: There are newspaper ads around that show “The Dynamics” performing at dances in Crete, Wilber, and Howells, which are cities in eastern Nebraska. This was probably the band from Omaha who went by the same name.

In the summer of 1966, Randy joined a Denver band called The Soul Survivors. They soon changed their name to The Poor and moved to Los Angeles. They played all the major clubs on the Sunset Strip, but never quite made it. They disbanded in late 1968. Read more about the band here.

Sometime in mid-1969, Randy joins Rick Nelson and brings along two former members of The Poor, Allen Kemp and Pat Shanahan, to form Rick’s Stone Canyon Band. Some dates from the Fall of 1969 were cancelled because Nelson was ill with a throat ailment (those will be reinserted as cancelled shows later). Randy left the band following the European tour. In his absence he was replaced by Phil “Fang” Volk from Paul Revere & The Raiders and later, Tim Cetera. Randy claims to have returned in the Fall of 1970. In one interview, he said he returned because Rick wanted to do a show in San Francisco. We found one show from September at the Troubadour in San Francisco, but we don’t believe Randy was at this show because only a week before Tim Cetera was playing with the band at the Troubadour in Los Angeles. We did find a show from November at Chuck’s Cellar in Los Altos where Randy may have played, but there was no mention of him (or any bass player) in any review, so we did not include it. We do believe he was playing with Rick in the early 1971 shows. He is mentioned in an article about the Wayne, NE show (his family came to see him). There is one oddball date at the bottom of this section where Randy fills in for James Taylor’s bassist, Leland Sklar, at one of Taylor’s shows in Denver.
