Take it to the Limit Randy. RIP
Interesting that you'd quote that song. They've been my favorite group for 40+ years and I'm a bit of a fanboi historian. It was this song that ultimately led to him leaving the group. He was being called on night after night to hit those clean high notes which were causing more and more strain. Don and Glenn refused to pull it from the set list so he moved on before he caused permanent damage or worse muffed it on stage. I always thought he'd be the one to go first. RIP Randy.

That original Eagles lineup was the best I think. I read Don Felder's book not long ago, Don and Glenn sound like complete jerks to deal with.

They were up to Hell Freezes Over. Since then they've been a pretty cohesive group. I loved seeing Bernie Leadon back for The History of The Eagles tour. Really felt like the OG guys were back.

Kinda pissed me off that this song was pulled from Youtube. But oh well...
