Description
The Eagles will take the stage once again this Sunday 22nd August at Madison Square Garden to resume their acclaimed Hotel California 2021 Tour. In celebration of the band being back on the road, Rhino will release LIVE AT THE FORUM 76, featuring 10 songs recorded in the autumn of 1976, just prior to the release of Hotel California. LIVE AT THE FORUM 76 will be available on 12th November as a 2LP set on 180-gram vinyl. The tracks will be making their vinyl debut, as they were previously only available on CD and digitally as part of 2017s 40th Anniversary Edition of Hotel California. The live music takes up three LP sides while the final one features an exclusive etching of the artwork.
LIVE AT THE FORUM 76 was recorded during the bands three-night run at the Los Angeles Forum in October 1976. The show took place as the group was putting the finishing touches on Hotel California, which would be released that December. The concert recording captures some of the very first live performances of Hotel California and New Kid In Town. During the show, the band also play hits from earlier albums with Take It Easy from the bands 1972 self-titled debut; Already Gone from 1974s On the Border; and the #1 title track from 1975s One of These Nights. The concert also includes a raucous performance of Funk #49, a song originally recorded by Walshs James Gang.
The Forum concert presents a snapshot of the band right before Hotel California became a critical and commercial phenomenon. After its release, the album went on to become x6 platinum in the UK with the title track becoming one of the UKs most loved classic rock anthems.
