Thank you Deliah, I like this version much more the one on Eagles Live. I like having Randy singing the harmonies. Makes it much better in my opinion

I understood that it was sarcasm. I’m just saying I understand that he wouldn’t want it out there anymore. Different phase in his life. Obviously he doesn’t have a legal right unlike a bootleg but he is stil entitled to feel that way and I don’t think what he is doing is necessarily wrong. Though I personally wished he didn’t feel that way
Mr "Malcontent" has every right to express his opinions, although most artists think better of criticising their own material. When asked are there any Eagles tracks that he'd like to re-record, Henley's answer was "All of them"
Maybe Henley would have preferred to re-record Hotel California material rather than release demo stuff from the past but it really isn't the right time for that.
This popped up on Facebook on the Eagles' page. It's from Billboard, first live recording of "New Kid" from October, 1976 at the Forum in LA. Audio only, but what a fantastic vocal from Glenn!
Enjoy!

It must have been so cool to hear the new material before it came out. I always wish I could have the experience of a new eagles album coming and being able to listen to one as a whole and being able to find songs I loved Vs being told it’s a hit. It must have been so exciting to listen to Hotel California for the first time
This is so good! I really enjoyed it. Beautiful...Thanks Pippin!
@YEF: I listened to both live versions this morning. I think the difference is that the 1976 version may have been at the beginning of the tour, while the 1977 version was after they'd been on the road for nine months. They're playing in the same key, but a singer's voice will change timbre a little with a lot of use. In this case, you're hearing it in the 1977 version after he'd been singing it for a while, was more comfortable with how it sounded, and after that length of time on the road, was getting more into what singers call "chest voice." As opposed to "head voice," which is where most of us non-musician people sing. LOL.
Good ears!
