Although many bands come and go, the Eagles have showed a longevity that is rarely seen. The music that they played during the 70s is still being played regularly today and it sounds just as good when they play it on stage. In this video, you see them live at the Capital Center in 1977 performing Hotel California.
Although there is often questions about the background of the song, the Eagles don’t leave us in the dark about it. Don Henley said it was an interpretation of Los Angeles highlife and in essence, it is about the dark side of the American dream and excess.
