Eagles – Live At The Forum '76 on Vinyl: A Vintage Snapshot of Rock Perfection

If you're a fan of classic rock on vinyl, there's nothing quite like hearing the Eagles in their prime — live, loud, and loaded with harmonies. Eagles – Live At The Forum '76 captures the legendary band at the height of their powers, performing just weeks before the release of Hotel California. Pressed to warm, analog vinyl, this live album is essential listening for fans of 70s rock, audio purists, and anyone building a serious Eagles vinyl collection.

The Story Behind the Show

Recorded over three nights at The Forum in Inglewood, California, in October 1976, this set showcases the Eagles during a pivotal moment — when founding member Bernie Leadon had recently departed, Joe Walsh had joined, and the band was on the brink of releasing one of the most iconic albums in rock history.

Originally recorded for radio broadcast, these tapes remained unreleased for decades until Rhino gave them a proper vinyl release, and the results are incredible.

Why This Live Album Deserves a Spot on Your Turntable

There are plenty of live rock albums out there, but Live At The Forum '76 stands out for its pristine sound quality, incredible setlist, and tight musicianship. This isn’t a band experimenting — it’s the Eagles at full flight, performing with precision and soul.

Highlights include:

• “Take It to the Limit” – Randy Meisner's soaring vocals still send chills

• “New Kid in Town” – Performed live before its official album release

• “Funk #49” – Joe Walsh brings the fire in this James Gang classic

• “Hotel California” – A rare early performance, before the world knew the song by heart
