Originally produced by Bill Szymczyk and recorded at Criteria Studios in Miami and the Record Plant in Los Angeles, the California band’s fourth studio set was a milestone for the band: it delivered the first of four consecutive US No. 1 albums while achieving quadruple Platinum certification for 4 million copies sold in the US, and the single, “Lyin’ Eyes”, won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.
“One Of These Nights (Deluxe Edition)” will be available as a 3CD/Blu-ray set featuring a new mix of the original album by Rob Jacobs, an unreleased, 16-song 1975 concert at Anaheim Stadium, and new Dolby Atmos and high-res stereo mixes. A 3LP version, released the same day, will include the new album mix and the full concert recording.
The unreleased live recording captures the Eagles’ performance at the Sunshine Festival in Anaheim on September 28, 1975. Recorded at the end of the tour for One Of These Nights, the show features Henley, Glenn Frey, Randy Meisner, Bernie Leadon, and Don Felder. Their set blends songs from that album (“Lyin’ Eyes,” “Take It To The Limit”) with hits from the group’s first three albums: “Take It Easy,” “Witchy Woman,” “Already Gone,” and “The Best Of My Love.”
The show also finds the Eagles in a significant transition period, as it marks Leadon’s final performance with the band while Joe Walsh, who would become an official member months later, joins the group for the encore, performing his song “Rocky Mountain Way.” The penultimate song is a cover of Chuck Berry’s “Carol,” a live staple of the band at the time, marking the first time a recording of the song has ever been included on an Eagles album.
The Blu-ray that accompanies the CD set presents the album and the live performance in Dolby Atmos and high-resolution stereo, while the Atmos mix of the original album will also be available digitally.
The Eagles continue their residency at Sphere in Las Vegas, with shows at the venue currently scheduled into mid-April.
