About this listen
'This could be heaven or this could be hell...'
So sings Don Henley on their biggest hit, 'Hotel California', and it is true that the Eagles story was one that blurred the ultimate Hollywood highs and subterranean LA lows beyond recognition.
The band that embodied the American dream with globe-straddling success, impossibly luxurious lives, almost supernatural talent also descended into nightmare with bloodletting betrayal, hate-filled hubris, the skeletons of perceived enemies, brutally discarded lovers and former band mates left unburied on the road behind them. The story of the Eagles is a truly gothic American fable: one of ultimate power and rivers of money; of sex and drugs at a time when both were the lingua-franca of sophisticated So-Cal living; of a band who sang of peaceful easy feelings in public while threatening to kill each other in private.
Now, for the first time, esteemed music biographer Mick Wall will provide the definitive insight into America's bestselling band of all time, a band who have sold more records than Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones combined, exploring their meteoric rise to fame and the hedonistic days of the 70s music scene in LA, when American music was taking over the world.

Interesting but unbearable narration
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
It is the Eagles, except brushed over quite generally and doesn’t go into specifics and detail on any incident or relationship etc that is mentioned.
The narration is rigid, but bearable. Although he does have the habit of putting on a high pitched voice when quoting a female, which sounds a bit childish.
It’s ok for a brief beginner’s overview of the Eagles.
