Back in the day (our students love that expression), the only way to get a copy of something your favorite band may have done on TV was to find someone with a recording of the show and two VCRs. The Internet has changed that. We're able to allow you to see some new and vintage appearances. The quality isn't always perfect, but you'll get the idea. If there is something you've been dying to see, please let us know. If you are looking to get hooked up with a tape of your own of recent television appearances, check out what we've got.

 

Eagles

Video Videos Remember when MTV actually showed videos? Well, we've put together a fairly comprehensive collection of videos made by the Eagles and members of the Eagles. This isn't all of the ones that are out there, but we think we're pretty close to having a complete collection. Please remember that some of these videos are about 20 years old, so quality isn't pristine. This is your opportunity to check out some long forgotten gems.

Central Park  (1972) The band does the special intro of Take it Easy while Glenn's hair flows freely and Henley wears more color than he ever has since! From VH1 Rarities (this is the only rarity they showed!)

Holland (1973) This trio of songs was originally broadcast in Holland in 1973, but was repackaged for UK TV in 1989 or so.

 Witchy Woman   Tequila Sunrise 
 Take it Easy

BBC Concert (1973) This is a fairly decent quality of the earliest incarnation of the band. People seem to love this show.

Tequila Sunrise, (73ish)  We think this is from the Howard Cosell show, but we aren't sure.

Witchy Woman, (73ish)  Again from that mystery TV show. Worth it for the faces Henley makes at the camera.

How Long, (1973)

California Jam (1974) this clip from California Jam in 1974 which is our earliest video of something that wasn't a television show. Remember....this video footage is over 30 years old and it isn't the greatest. When I digitized it, it took out some of the static, but made the footage look jerky

Doolin' Dalton / Desperado (1974)From the Don Kirshner show.

Take it to the Limit (1976) The Eagles in Houston.

Lyin' Eyes, (1980) A rare clip of the band live at the end of their first incarnation.

Travis Tritt Talks About Take it Easy (1993) Very funny piece about the making of the video. Contains some outtakes and a Henley/Frey (and then Walsh) hug.

Eagles Family Tree (1994) Back when HFO was released, VH1 aired an entire week of programming (December 5th-9th, 1994). They produced a nice documentary about the history of the band featuring interviews with all of the band members, Bill Szymczyk, JD Souther, and Jackson Browne. It's a great introduction for anyone wanting to know more about the band.

Clip 1 | Clip 2 | Clip 3 | Clip 4 | Clip 5 | Clip 6 | Clip 7

Before They Were Rock Stars  (1994) VH1 showed this cute look at the Pre-Eagles career of Don and Glenn back around HFO time. Our favorite part of this is the uber-rare footage of Don and Glenn backing Linda Ronstadt back in 1971. Incidentally, those are our albums and 45s featured in the footage. We made color copies of them and sent them to VH1 for this project.

A bit of a treat (1994) From the "2nd Night" video.

Visiting with Huell Howser.  (1994) Opening night (Irvine) interviews with members of the band as well as the man who "...was the manager of the Eagles, IS the manager of the Eagles and who always WILL BE the manager of the Eagles"

Victim of Love (1995)  From Hawaii

Take it Easy (1995) From Hawaii

Australian News Clips (1995) Julie sent us a DVD with some amazing and rare news footage of the band. We hope that you enjoy these things as much as we do.

Clip 1 is a discussion of nostaligia acts that features some great live footage.

Clip 2 features more live performances and some interviews (most notably, Don yelling in an odd way).

Clip 3 features more interview footage.

Clip 4 is our favorite. Not only does it feature THE ENTIRE BAND sitting on a sectional couch and live footage of Glenn's sunglasses shirt, but it is (to our knowledge) the only photographic evidence of the t-shirt Don wore at the HFO Little Rock concert. It has to be seen to be believed.

 

Under the Covers (1997) These short clips from the Under the Covers DVD are designed to inspire you to run out and get your very own copy.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Performances (from VH1) (1998)

Rock and Roll Feuds, MTV. (1998) We don't know why we like this clip so much. Maybe it's because of how cute Glenn looks. Maybe it's because of the look on Henley's face (not to mention his posture). For those not into looking at the guys, Glenn discusses band relationships. (105KB)

The Eagles "co-host" Showbiz Today. (12/7/99)

Millennium Rap, (2000) (1.3MB) A little snippet of Funky New Year from what CNN showed right after midnight 2000. And now, thanks to Mike from Palo Alto, you can also see the countdown to midnight from a different angle. We now also have full versions of Funky New Year, Hotel California and Auld Lang Syne

Box Set Open Ended Interview (2000) Back when the box set came out, Glenn sat down for about 1/2 an hour and did an open-ended interview. This is one of those interviews where you can't hear the question so that a local person can "ask" the questions. Some of this surfaced on Helsinki TV during the European tour, but we've got the whole thing. Glenn talks about the early days of the band, the box set, the millennium show and even shows an early indication of the Felder stuff that was looming on the horizon. Even though this is just Glenn, it's got so much Eagles' history in it, that we're categorizing it an Eagles clip.

Later with Bob Costas (1992) Glenn wanted to plug his Strange Weather album so he sat for a two-night interview with Bob Costas. This is a great interview because Bob Costas just lets Glenn talk and talk about his music, his friends in the music business, his songwriting, his causes and a lot of other stuff. We've broken it into 4-5 minute chunks.

Signature Golf (1998) The premise of the show is that they wander around a golf course and talk to golfers and celebrities about their lives and their games. They also have the players try to recreate a famous golf shot. You can see from the clip over on the left that Glenn is quite successful at this.

In order to get out of a jam, "Ken" agrees to do a commercial pushing a new product that Arliss' staff has agreed to find spokespeople for. If you look in the background of the dinner party scene, you can see long-time Eagles crew Tommy Nixon and Jerry Vaccarino posing as racecar drivers.
