Why so few 1970s-era Eagles bootlegs?
Is my impression correct, that there are relatively few recordings available of shows from "back in the day"? I know of only ten - 10! - Eagles concerts from the classic era (or B.T., before Timothy) that are generally available.*
Compared to other classic bands I've followed, such as The Doors and Led Zeppelin (literally dozens of shows were recorded of each - and the Doors had a very short career!), classic Eagles shows are strangely rare. Why?
*Bootlegs I've seen on offer - not that I purchase such things, nor do I encourage or condone such activity:
Holland '73
Berkeley Community Theater '73
Holy Cross College, Worcester, MA, 11/21/1973
Providence, R.I., 5/2/1974
Boston Garden, 7/26/1974
Philadelphia, 5/17/1975
Sydney, Australia, 1/27/1976
Osaka, Japan, 2/2/1976
Seattle 8/6/1976
Houston (Baby), 11/6/1976

Ha ha! Thanks for the shout out NMB!
I can't think of any others than those. Sure wish there were more!

You may want to contact Soda for more info about the list. Check out the links at the bottom, too.

I wish I had all of those!
Re: Why so few 1970s-era Eagles bootlegs?
Me too. It's almost twice as many as I thought existed, but still a strangely low number.
The final song "Dream Baby" at the 3/16/73 London show - I wonder if that was the Roy Orbison tune? That would be really cool to hear.
The Wembley 1975 show would probably be my #1 choice though. Oh, for a time traveling machine...

Agree so much with the time machine. I'll take any show, though, except for July 31, 1980 at Long Beach. I know that they managed to keep their anger from showing (for the most part), but I don't think that I'd wanna be there knowing what happened afterwards.
I've seen some bootlegs floating about online, especially on the site that I bought Live in Dublin on, but I can't remember the site's name.

If you remember, PM me. Not because I intend to buy a bootleg, no. It's ahh... for research. Thanks.
If I was transported back to the 1980 Long Beach show, I would loiter about backstage and wait for Felder to smash his guitar. Then I'd grab a souvenir of said guitar and run.

I've got to figure out this .rar format or continue to live a life of frustration...
