Before the show, the Eagles were presented with the key to the city by Vice-Mayor William Chenault. Eight years later, Randy, along with his mom, Emilie, was presented the key to the city during a concert in Omaha, NE at Pogo’s Electric Cowboy.
“Ex-Poco member, Randy Meisner, made his subtle and important mark on the evening by doing his “Certain Kind Of Fool” and “Tryin'”–both numbers of high energy and Poco-like vocals. Meisner’s bass playing is simple, but steady.” -Jim Gerard, Cleveland Scene, May 17, 1973
On May 3rd, 1975, the Eagles played Kent State University on the eve of the fifth anniversary of the Kent State Shootings. But it was not without controversy.
