Album Notes The Eagles: Glenn Frey (vocals, guitar, synthesizer); Joe Walsh (vocals, slide guitar); Don Henley, Timothy B. Schmit (vocals); Don Felder (guitar, organ). Recorded at Bayshore Recording Studio, Coconut Grove, Florida. THE LONG RUN, the Eagles' long-awaited follow-up to their hugely successful HOTEL CALIFORNIA, was the celebrated group's final studio album. By the time THE LONG RUN was released in early 1979, the laid-back West Coast rock scene that The Eagles had dominated throughout the decade had pretty much run its course. Many of the biggest rock groups of the era -- including The Eagles--were incorporating new influences into their music and toughening up their sound. While similar in feel to HOTEL CALIFORNIA, THE LONG RUN is a far more diverse album that features an immaculately crafted set of songs ranging from the soulful pop of the Don Henley-sung title track and "I Can' t Tell You Why" to tough, country-influenced rocker "Heartache Tonight" and the epic, dynamic "In The City." Even though Don Henley, Glen Frey and Joe Walsh would all go on to lead successful solo careers in the ensuing years, they would rarely better the polished pop on THE LONG RUN. | Find errors in the product description?

The Quality of the Cd was great. Review ID: 10000000002704842 Was this review helpful? Report this review  Whoops!--Not the last studio albumReview created: 06/17/00 by: sparkospunky -- a member of Epinions Pros: Great vocal performances, good slide guitar, great ensemble feel Cons: Their last album? The Long Run was released in 1979, and the back of the album said that it was "the last studio album by the Eagles". That statement proved to be a bit premature when the Eagles released Hell Freezes Over, a sort of reunion album, after everyone got tired of diddling with their solo careers. However, The Long Run would have been a fabulous "swan song" had the Eagles chosen never to record together again. The songs on the album explore a variety of styles, and the influences of the particular players and singers on each song is profound. The musicians and their contributions are as follows: Don. Review ID: 10000000000218339  I used to hurry and worry a lot too. Glad I found Maalox.Review created: 01/01/08 by: pyfr-- a member of Epinions and Top Reviewer in Music Pros: With four, maybe five songs on the "decent" list, it's better than <i>Hotel California</i>. Cons: Flips on occasion to a really strange, undiscovered form of disco that DOES NOT WORK. As the 1980 s cast their shadow across the land, the first phase of The Eagles time together drew to a close. Between Don Henley s ever-expanding Afro and ego, there just wasn t enough room for the other guys on the tour bus anymore. Which is a shame, considering they had finally added their first piece of eye-candy to the lineup, in the form of falsetto-voiced, bass-playing Navajo princess Timothy B. Schmit. Rawr. Hotel California and the success that followed in its wake had done some funny things to Henley, Frey, Bender, Walsh, and Donnie Boy Felder. They seemed to be leaving behind the... Review ID: 10000000006848209  A Trying ExperienceReview created: 06/14/02 by: repeatoffender -- a member of Epinions Pros: They disappeared for twenty years after this release. Cons: They came back. I really tried to like The Eagles. I mean I really, really tried. In fact, I probably tried harder to like them than any other band my friends listened to. You know how it is. You don't want to be the weirdo, and I was already catching a lot of flak from them back in the 70's for my Flying Burrito Brothers fixation. At least I gave the Eagles a halfway fair shot, which is more than they gave my beloved Burritos. After all, why wouldn't I like the Eagles? It was the late 70's, and I was as big a fan of the California sound as anybody. I loved Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, Jackson Browne,... Review ID: 10000000000218340 Dallas.....The Eagles Have Landed!!!!Review created: 11/15/00 by: wolfman309 -- a member of Epinions Pros: Tracks 1 through 10 Cons: last great effort One band that can safely look back on their catalogue with a the pride of knowing that there are no weak spots, is the Eagles. This band produced a collection of works, second to none, as far as being of consistently excellent quality. This album, The Long Run, was their last as a group before going on a 20 year hiatus. This is the follow up to the monster hit Hotel California. After all the acclamation they received from that album, it is a miracle that they were able to even approach the studio again. The next one had so many expectations before release, it had to weigh heavily on their... Review ID: 10000000000218337  Houston, BabyReview created: 05/06/00 by: dustygold -- a member of Epinions Pros: Most of it rocks, and even the weaker parts are interesting Cons: Not the best of their work, sounds very studio-polished "The Long Run" was the Eagles' 1979 followup to the Heaven-sent "Hotel California." It yielded half an album's worth of singles. Many people were quite unimpressed with "The Long Run." Acknowledged, it's weird. But I don't see anything wrong with it. The Eagles were at the time comprised of the likes of Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Joe Walsh, Don Felder, and Tim B. Schmit. After they finished this album and toured for it, they broke up, and that was it for this late seventies staple band. "The Long Run" marks this ending point. It starts off with its title track- an optimistic story, and freakin'.. Review ID: 10000000000218334 Epinions.com ratings are not included in the item's average rating.
