    Timothy B. Schmitt is a class act for his gracious speech about Randy Meissner. That was an awesome thing to do. Randy was one of the founding members of the Eagles & they should have treated him the same, if you're not feeling that good one night then change the songs around to help a good man who's feeling down. That was the thing that kept the Eagles from being one of the best bands ever, the constant bickering & fighting over dumb things that could have & should have been easily resolved. Rest in peace Randy Meissner, for you were a great musician !

    First off, I am a HUGE Eagles fan! I was fortunate enough to see them play all of their hits (and then some) in Toronto, 1994. I've seen well over 50 spectacular concerts including Pink Floyd, AC/DC, Def Leppard, Dire Straits, Boston, just to name a few, but the Hell Freezes Over Tour is definitely *the* best concert I have ever experienced! The lighting wasn't over the top, (and rightfully so), but the *SOUND* was absolutely incredible. Even though the concert was held at an outdoor stadium, it was like hearing a $1,000,000 stereo in your bedroom! I have never heard anything like it (before or since). So ....... I love, love, LOVE Randy's contribution to the Eagles (RIP sir). Randy had exceptional writing skills, was a very good bass player (not great, but far better than average), had an incredible soprano voice that most female vocalists can only dream of having, *"HOWEVER"* to say that _" without Randy, the Eagles would never have been as successful"_ and that he was the _"heart"_ of the band, is simply ridiculous! Meisner, Leadon, Felder and Walsh are quintessential members of the group, no doubt. They all deserve accolades for sure but c'mon, everyone knows that both Henley and Fry hold the honor of being the *heart* of the Eagles! Now with hat said, there's tons of info out there that says they also hold the honor of being complete *assholes* to say the least.

    I was first introduced to Randy in 1971 while he was touring with Linda/Jackson Browne...we went to a concert at a HS gym in Delaware and there he was leaning against a wall smoking a cigarette and rockin his aviator sunglasses...it was love at first sight! Randy and Bernie were the anchors that steadied the band...Glen was the high-powered engine that kept them running and Henley love him or hate him was the singer who made their music complete. The Eagles At this time, we need to celebrate Randy not rehash all the drama that was a part of his life...he was a sweet and gentle soul... remember him for his beautiful harmonies and boom boom bass playing. My thoughts and prayers to his children...family and friends..."And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make..." Godspeed Randy

I don't need to hear the Eagles version of Take it to the Limit, i have heard it many times including Live. I prefer this version of Randy, he has passed and it deserves to be played by the man himself. Thanks again for posting.

    Timothy B. Schmitt is a Great Man he didn't let Struggles and Fights amongst other Eagles Members effect his Perception or Views. He Cherished his Time with Fellow Artist Randy Meisner Whom Had a Similar View of Performing Neither Sought Nor Wanted the Spotlight both Had A Love For playing and being a Key part of the Band as a Whole. The Eagles Just Weren't the Same with loss of Randy Meisner & Don Felder two Huge Geniuses of the Original Eagles ! Hotel California Wouldn't have Ever been Made if not For Don Felder's Multiple Contributions to this Song Starting With 100,Percent of the Melody Writing Secondly He Came up With The Double Neck Guitar Couples to Dual Yeah n Amps & Foot Pedal to toggie Between Amps to Get the Same Sound in Live Performances as Studio Versions which Were accomplished by Multiple Recordings Spliced &'Played together. This True Genius if Don Felder is underated and not Given the Respect Truly Due Him in my Opinion

Bernie left Eagles in 1975 (after their first five albums) when he saw it becoming “the Glen and Don (Henley) Show” - like Randy, he too was tired of the Egoes. I think that Don Felder and Joe Walsh were awful to freeze Randy out after Randy’s altercation with Glen - especially Felder, because he and Randy used to hang out all the time.

I agree that Henley and Frey mistreated Bernie, Randy and Don Felder, who were the other 3 members of the legal entity “Eagles Inc”, which assigned equal shares (to all members) of the profits generated from sales, royalties, performances, merchandise, etc. By getting rid of those 3, then all the profits would go to the remaining members - namely, Henley and Frey!

    He was the best musician in the band, with Felder and Walsh coming second. And he was certainly the hottest guy in music at the time. I saw the Eagles in 1973, just as they were coming out of the gate on Glen Frey's race to collect as much cash, as many drugs and the most groupies of anyone in Laurel Canyon. Far as I'm concerned, he and Don Henley did everything they could to F-up the band and still make bank on the backs of the rest of the guys. The money they paid for his medical expenses was guilt money. I bet there was a big meeting about whether or not they should help. I find it sad that Randy Meisner suffered so much, both during and after his gig with the Eagles. I hope that wherever he is now, he is doing OK.
