LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-JULY 31, 2019…LET HISTORY SHOW THIS WAS THE DAY WHEN ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE FOR THE EAGLES. ON THIS DAY IN 1980 THE EAGLES SPLIT UP AFTER A FIGHT ON STAGE BETWEEN DON FELDER AND GLENN FREY. THEY SPENT THE ENTIRE NIGHT TELLING EACH OTHER ABOUT THE BEATING EACH OF THEM PLANNED FOR THE OTHER PERSON BACKSTAGE. AFTER THE SHOW, THE BAND BROKE UP, BUT THEY STILL HAD A COMMITMENT TO THE RECORD COMPANY TO MAKE A LIVE RECORD FROM THE TOUR.AS A RESULT, THE ALBUM WAS MIXED ON OPPOSITE COASTS. THE BAND WORKED ON THEIR PARTS IN MIAMI, GLENN FREY LEFT THE GROUP AND STAYED IN L.A.
GLENN FREY REFUSED TO TALK TO THE OTHER MEMBERS, AND THE THREE PART HARMONIES FOR THE RECORD WERE MIXED BY SENDING THE AUDIO VIA FEDEX. THE LIVE ALBUM’S LINER NOTES SAID “THANK YOU AND GOOD NIGHT.”
