Pittsburgh Press, July 18, 1976

Randy wore a t-shirt for the Eagles’ Riverfront Coliseum concert in Cincinnati on July 22nd, 1976.

“The Eagles arrived about 5:30 and spent two hours on stage, Including a pair of encores. They saluted Pittsburgh and the Steelers, and zapped President Ford, dedicating ‘Already Gone’ to him.

“And they even played policemen, Glenn Frey reminding fans who were trying to scale a wooden barrier near the stage that “you’ve had one bad concert here already,’ (referring to a ZZ Top concert three weeks before).

“We came to play,’ added Randy Meisner, sounding a little like (Pittsburgh Steelers coach) Chuck Noll.” —New Castle News, July 26, 1976

Randy sang lead on “Midnight Flyer” and “Take It To The Limit,” which was “an obvious fave of the crowd,” according to Peter Crescendi from Sounds magazine. “Meisner’s sustained howl near the song’s end had everyone roaring with approval and appreciation.” Read the rest of the review below:

Sounds, August 14, 1976

“Of special note were Meisner’s falsetto work on ‘Take It To The Limit’ and Don Henley’s soulful vocals on ‘Desperado.” …Only the Beach Boys can really match them for the number and variety of voices available.” (Chris Charlesworth, Melody Maker, August 14, 1976)
