    How do you embed a link so that a preview comes up, anybody know? Thank you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l47f...ature=youtu.be
    More Randy, yea! NMB if you're talking about what I think you are, remove the 's' at the end of 'https" and that will embed the video.

    But with Randy confessing to making "bootleg" recordings, I can't believe that the only one he made was lost. He must have more. I suspect that Randy will have some illicit recordings from his lengthy career stored away somewhere

    I'm surprised that Randy didn't know anything about Bill Szymczyk's Soul Pole LPs.
    I have a feeling you're right, Funk 50, about it being taped over. Otherwise I think it would have shown up by now in some form or fashion. Too bad Mr. Beaudin didn't ask if he had made any others. Randy has said he taped at least one show from the early Tulagi concert so here's hoping there are more.

    When I first read this interview, I initially thought Randy was referring to the Soul Pole recordings, but now I wonder if he's referring to other recorded material, not released to the public.

    Right or wrong, what’s done is done
    It’s only moments that you borrow...

    Thank you, D. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l47fhjVDmGM"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l47fhjVDmGM[/ame]

    Funk, have you heard the Soul Pole recordings? Is there much Randy content? I figured there wouldn't be so I've never made the effort to get them.

    I heard one where Randy said, "this is going straight to mono." Then someone else said there was an incident where Joe asked him if he wanted to tune his bass, Randy declined and Joe then proceeded to upbraid him for his lack of professionalism (not sure if it was said in jest or not).

    I edited the CDs (originally LPs distributed by Bill Szymczyk) down to a single mini disc that I thought I might listen to but I don't. It's mostly studio banter and jamming. I guess Randy doesn't really get involved much in the studio banter.

    I enjoyed most of the (serious) music. The banter, not so much

    From memory it's labeled Soul Pole Vol 3 & 4 but there's a James Gang outtake and some Schmit included so I reckon it's a full 4 LPs worth.

    Interesting; that source says that Bill Szymczyk sent the "Soul Pole" tapes as Christmas gifts on Dec 12, 1977 to about 50 people (including the Eagles themselves, naturally) who participated in the recording of Hotel California. Furthermore, it was Szymczyk's custom "to put together a compilation of funny studio moments and send them out to friends and family as Christmas presents."

    Randy had left the band at that point, so maybe he never received his copy?

    So many questions, so much silence. Randy, wherefore art thou?!
