This live recording archive features songs that Randy sang lead or co-lead on between 1972-1977, during his tenure with the Eagles.
The Eagles played Berkeley Community Center on June 16th, 1973. King Crimson opened. Listen to an audience recording of the Eagles’ set below.
Randy sang lead on “Certain Kind Of Fool,” Tryin'” and co-lead on “How Long.” The full concert is also provided below.
“Certain Kind Of Fool”
“Tryin'”
“How Long” (co-lead with Glenn Frey & Don Henley)
Full Concert Recording
The recording includes a rare live version of “Bitter Creek.” On the album version, Randy played a guitarrón (acoustic bass). I believe he is playing it on this live recording because he can be heard tuning it before the song begins (@14:05). The guitarrón has a very deep sound, different from an electric bass.
