Eagles – Desperado (Live from Melbourne) (Official Video) [4K]

“Hotel California” and Billy Joel’s late-70s to 80s era enjoyed special worldwide popularity, including in Japan, and produced numerous classics.

Many people likely began listening to Western music with Billy.

Among them, this piano ballad is a masterpiece you should savor by reading the lyrics.

At times gentle, at times intense, Billy’s voice shines with an evergreen brilliance.

Already GoneThe Eagles27rank/position

Already Gone (2013 Remaster)

A flawless, undeniably cool number that kicks off On the Border and lets you savor the crisp charm of American rock! Also known by its Japanese title “Sugita Koto” (“Already Gone”), this track boasts an irresistibly punchy guitar riff ringing throughout, and of course a blistering guitar solo from Don Felder—who was invited during the album sessions and ended up joining the band—that absolutely tears it up.

Although it wasn’t written by the band members, it perfectly balances their early country flavor with a harder rock edge, reminding us just how exceptional the Eagles are at arranging songs.
