RANDY MEISNER (born Randall Herman Meisner on 8 March 1946), the co-founder, bassist/vocalist/co-songwriter of country rock icons the EAGLES passed away 3 days
ago, on 26 July following complications with a lung disease. He was 77.

Meisner co-formed the band in 1971, but already left in September 1977 citing
exhaustion. The toll for becoming one of the greatest rock acts in the world, meaning almost 24/7 touring, in a short time was to heavy. He started his solo career a year
later.

He had a magnific voice, but rarely sang on Eagles songs.

Here’s an exception. He did the lead-vocals on one of the group’s
biggest hits Take It To The Limit which he co-wrote (from their 1975
million-seller LP One Of These Nights).

This live version is masterly.
