Eagles – Hotel California: 40th Anniversary Edition (2-CD)

Recorded at Criteria Studios in Miami and released in early 1977, *Hotel California* captured the Eagles at a commercial and creative peak, a portrait of California dreaming gone sour that resonated far beyond the classic rock radio ubiquity it would eventually achieve. The live disc, drawn from their Forum stand in October 1976, documents the band on the road just as the album was taking shape, a rare window into that transitional moment between *One of These Nights* and the record that would define them.
