914
01:02:35,877 --> 01:02:40,548
915
01:02:40,590 --> 01:02:43,093
916
01:02:43,677 --> 01:02:48,556
Glenn Frey and I shared a room together for a while,
Jackson moved, I went downstairs,
917
01:02:48,598 --> 01:02:52,978
Glenn moved in, Jackson and I bought
small houses on Camrose Court,
918
01:02:53,019 --> 01:02:58,233
all writing in different combinations with each other.
It was always growing.
919
01:02:58,274 --> 01:03:01,611
That was a little dust ball
that became a tornado.
920
01:03:01,611 --> 01:03:04,155
921
01:03:04,197 --> 01:03:10,537
922
01:03:14,416 --> 01:03:20,755
The Echo Park group would provide the compositional basis
for the biggest band in LA history.
923
01:03:20,797 --> 01:03:26,094
His musical inspirations would come from a raucous club
of music half a mile west of the Sunset Strip.
924
01:03:31,349 --> 01:03:35,854
I mean, it was the heart of a
scene that encompassed James Taylor,
925
01:03:35,854 --> 01:03:40,567
Ry Cooder, Randy Newman, Little Feat,
926
01:03:40,567 --> 01:03:41,735
John David Souther ...
927
01:03:41,735 --> 01:03:45,572
There were 20 or 30 people who
made them all very good friends
928
01:03:45,613 --> 01:03:49,367
and would, on any given night,
to Troubadour bar
929
01:03:49,409 --> 01:03:54,873
and then drive a short distance through
canyons for parties at one or the other
930
01:03:54,914 --> 01:04:00,628
and germinations of songs and love affairs were made, and ends
of love affairs, and dealings
931
01:04:00,670 --> 01:04:03,548
2 or 3 miles from the Sunset Strip.
932
01:04:06,051 --> 01:04:11,264
The LA singer-songwriters
emerged from the folk tradition.
933
01:04:11,306 --> 01:04:16,561
At Troubadour, they absorbed another form of music
reassuringly authentic American.
934
01:04:21,357 --> 01:04:23,943
As the idealism of the 60s faded,
935
01:04:23,985 --> 01:04:29,407
country music would offer troubadours
of LA a new sense of identity.
936
01:04:29,407 --> 01:04:32,577
937
01:04:32,619 --> 01:04:35,663
938
01:04:35,705 --> 01:04:41,711
at night
939
01:04:41,753 --> 01:04:44,297
940
01:04:44,339 --> 01:04:50,303
At the heart of LA's country renaissance was
a charismatic cowboy named Gram Parsons.
941
01:04:50,345 --> 01:04:53,139
942
01:04:53,181 --> 01:04:55,934
943
01:04:55,934 --> 01:04:58,478
M�sica country era t�o horr�vel
944
01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:02,232
and you never imagined that
I would dare listen to that,
945
01:05:02,273 --> 01:05:05,944
but he sat me down in his office, took his
little music player on the floor
946
01:05:05,985 --> 01:05:12,200
and forced us to listen to George Jones, Waylon Jennings,
Merle Haggard, and made us understand that.
947
01:05:12,242 --> 01:05:17,413
948
01:05:17,455 --> 01:05:22,585
During a brief period spent in the Byrds,
949
01:05:22,627 --> 01:05:27,590
and as a driving force in
Flying Burrito Brothers,
950
01:05:27,632 --> 01:05:30,552
Parsons was simply one of
a large sets of musicians
951
01:05:30,593 --> 01:05:32,846
in love with music
and Western mythology.
952
01:05:32,887 --> 01:05:35,098
Chris Hillman, at Burritos and Byrds,
953
01:05:35,140 --> 01:05:37,433
he had been a player
of mandolin in bluegrass,
954
01:05:37,475 --> 01:05:39,936
I had been a player
banjo in bluegrass,
955
01:05:39,936 --> 01:05:42,480
Jerry Garcia had been a player
banjo in bluegrass,
956
01:05:42,522 --> 01:05:45,733
so they were people who
have become influential musicians
957
01:05:45,775 --> 01:05:47,944
in the late 60s and
early 70s,
958
01:05:47,986 --> 01:05:51,823
that started in folk but passed
by bluegrass too.
959
01:05:57,745 --> 01:06:04,085
One of the most influential figures, and the queen
uncontroversial of the Troubadour scene,
960
01:06:04,252 --> 01:06:06,504
she was yet another exile in LA.
961
01:06:07,881 --> 01:06:10,300
I'm going to play a song
trucker now.
962
01:06:10,341 --> 01:06:16,014
I live with a bunch of people I met from Tucson,
on the beach, and we started going to Troubadour.
963
01:06:16,014 --> 01:06:19,601
Troubadour is really responsible
throughout the music scene.
964
01:06:19,642 --> 01:06:24,689
This song was written by my friend Lowell George
do Little Feat, e chama-se Willin'.
965
01:06:26,107 --> 01:06:29,694
Of all responsible persons
pela revolu��o do country-rock,
966
01:06:29,736 --> 01:06:33,323
maybe Linda Ronstadt is the one
most neglected,
967
01:06:33,364 --> 01:06:36,159
because she is a woman and because she
She is considered a pop artist.
968
01:06:37,869 --> 01:06:40,455
969
01:06:40,496 --> 01:06:42,123
970
01:06:42,165 --> 01:06:43,666
971
01:06:43,708 --> 01:06:47,337
972
01:06:48,671 --> 01:06:51,549
973
01:06:51,591 --> 01:06:54,594
Linda, in many ways, was
the glue that held this together,
974
01:06:54,636 --> 01:07:00,642
because she was never a singer-songwriter
- she barely wrote a song in her life -
975
01:07:00,683 --> 01:07:04,729
but Linda chose singers, and songwriters
in particular, brilliantly.
976
01:07:04,729 --> 01:07:09,275
to Tucumcari
977
01:07:09,317 --> 01:07:14,072
978
01:07:14,113 --> 01:07:17,951
ever been made...
979
01:07:17,992 --> 01:07:20,495
She was the vehicle for JD Souther,
980
01:07:20,536 --> 01:07:22,247
para Warren Zevon,
981
01:07:22,288 --> 01:07:26,960
Karla Bonoff, Eric Kaz. She introduced me
Willin', de Lowell George.
982
01:07:27,001 --> 01:07:30,088
983
01:07:31,923 --> 01:07:34,092
984
01:07:35,260 --> 01:07:42,225
985
01:07:42,267 --> 01:07:44,060
In June 1971,
986
01:07:44,102 --> 01:07:46,938
Linda Ronstadt's boyfriend,
JD Souther,
987
01:07:46,980 --> 01:07:50,525
and his friend Glenn Frey were
in a country duet.
988
01:07:54,112 --> 01:07:57,282
But when JD decided to follow
a solo career,
989
01:07:57,323 --> 01:08:02,328
it looked like Frey, despite being signed
with David Geffen's Asylum Records,
990
01:08:02,328 --> 01:08:05,081
was on the sidelines.
991
01:08:05,206 --> 01:08:06,624
At the end of the year,
992
01:08:06,666 --> 01:08:10,586
he was in front of the band that
would become the largest in LA.
993
01:08:14,465 --> 01:08:17,802
I originally told Glenn and JD
994
01:08:17,844 --> 01:08:21,097
that Glenn should form a band,
995
01:08:21,139 --> 01:08:24,434
that he was not strong enough as
a solo artist to go alone.
996
01:08:24,475 --> 01:08:26,978
Glenn wanted something
bigger, more sound,
997
01:08:27,020 --> 01:08:28,438
and I wanted less,
998
01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:31,524
I wanted to be like Jackson
and just go out and play alone.
999
01:08:31,566 --> 01:08:33,651
I had left Flying
Burrito Brothers.
1000
01:08:33,693 --> 01:08:35,361
I had toured Troubadour,
1001
01:08:35,403 --> 01:08:39,490
and had met Glenn Frey
and Don Henley.
1002
01:08:39,532 --> 01:08:43,453
I found Don from that band, Shiloh.
I heard them at Troubadour.
1003
01:08:43,494 --> 01:08:47,040
Linda Ronstadt producer John Boylan
was helping them.
1004
01:08:47,081 --> 01:08:50,418
He told them to put Randy Meisner
on the bottom, they thought it was a good idea.
1005
01:08:53,212 --> 01:08:55,048
They had a player
missing guitar.
1006
01:08:55,089 --> 01:08:57,300
We told them that they should
put Bernie Leadon.
1007
01:08:57,342 --> 01:08:59,552
So I called Boylan
and he said, "yes".
1008
01:09:01,054 --> 01:09:03,598
So the original Eagles
there were four people,
1009
01:09:03,639 --> 01:09:06,809
Glenn Frey, Don Henley,
me and Randy Meisner.
1010
01:09:07,810 --> 01:09:08,811
Serious!
1011
01:09:11,856 --> 01:09:14,067
I never doubted that they would be great.
1012
01:09:15,109 --> 01:09:17,445
We wanted him to get us
Atlantic Records,
1013
01:09:17,487 --> 01:09:19,614
he said, "Well, I can
probably do that
1014
01:09:19,614 --> 01:09:23,242
or you can be the first
band on my new label, Asylum. "
1015
01:09:23,284 --> 01:09:27,622
So he was becoming our entrepreneur
and president of our record company -
1016
01:09:27,663 --> 01:09:29,665
obviously, there is a conflict of interest,
1017
01:09:29,707 --> 01:09:33,461
but we did it because we were
certain that David would succeed.
1018
01:09:39,509 --> 01:09:43,513
The Eagles, a shamelessly
ambitious country rock band,
1019
01:09:43,554 --> 01:09:45,223
it seemed an incongruous addition
1020
01:09:45,264 --> 01:09:49,602
to the nest of fervent Asylum singer-songwriters.
1021
01:09:49,644 --> 01:09:53,272
But after a brief presentation as the band
background that accompanied Linda Ronstadt,
1022
01:09:53,314 --> 01:09:55,608
they made their first
public appearance
1023
01:09:55,650 --> 01:09:59,070
in a tiny art gallery
in Venice, California.
1024
01:09:59,112 --> 01:10:01,989
MUSIC: "Witchy Woman"
by the Eagles
1025
01:10:02,031 --> 01:10:07,245
The first time the Eagles played was in
an art inauguration for Boyd Elder,
1026
01:10:07,286 --> 01:10:08,496
our friend from Texas.
1027
01:10:11,332 --> 01:10:15,128
Joni Mitchell e Mama Cass
and David Geffen were there,
1028
01:10:15,128 --> 01:10:18,089
Ned Doheny was, the whole gang.
1029
01:10:20,883 --> 01:10:24,929
Everyone was dancing on this concrete floor
wet with beer everywhere,
1030
01:10:24,971 --> 01:10:28,975
and the Eagles were there playing
Witchy Woman again and again.
1031
01:10:29,016 --> 01:10:33,604
1032
01:10:33,646 --> 01:10:36,774
1033
01:10:36,816 --> 01:10:39,902
We only know seven songs,
1034
01:10:39,944 --> 01:10:42,363
so we play the same
seven songs repeatedly.
1035
01:10:43,573 --> 01:10:46,617
1036
01:10:46,659 --> 01:10:48,744
It was fun. Joni was dancing.
1037
01:11:04,093 --> 01:11:07,013
They were the pinnacle of California sound.
1038
01:11:07,013 --> 01:11:09,891
This expressed sunlight and heat,
1039
01:11:09,891 --> 01:11:11,476
they were the core of that.
1040
01:11:13,269 --> 01:11:18,149
A magical combination of people who
they could create their materials,
1041
01:11:18,191 --> 01:11:21,027
who could choose the best of
other people's stuff,
1042
01:11:21,068 --> 01:11:25,615
put them back together in one of those packages
very dusty musicals.
1043
01:11:28,701 --> 01:11:30,661
1044
01:11:30,703 --> 01:11:32,580
1045
01:11:32,622 --> 01:11:35,416
Assisted by JD Souther
e Jackson Browne,
1046
01:11:35,416 --> 01:11:39,879
the Eagles compose songs that would become
iconic two 70s of LA.
1047
01:11:41,255 --> 01:11:46,052
But not everyone was touched by his
carefully crafted country rock brand.
1048
01:11:46,052 --> 01:11:50,056
1049
01:11:50,056 --> 01:11:52,099
The way they took on how to do
1050
01:11:52,141 --> 01:11:55,228
� play the disc every time
perfectly, note by note,
1051
01:11:55,269 --> 01:11:58,981
and it works for them,
1052
01:11:59,023 --> 01:12:03,069
makes a good show for the audience,
but for me this is ...
1053
01:12:05,029 --> 01:12:06,197
..boring.
1054
01:12:06,239 --> 01:12:11,077
1055
01:12:11,118 --> 01:12:13,538
They don't take any chances. Never.
1056
01:12:13,538 --> 01:12:16,374
a corner...
1057
01:12:16,374 --> 01:12:20,002
The reward of the Eagles
for not taking chances
1058
01:12:20,044 --> 01:12:23,589
it was a successful album and
three songs number one.
1059
01:12:23,631 --> 01:12:24,257
It started in the 1960s.
1060
01:12:24,298 --> 01:12:27,009
We had a problem with
the word "commercial",
1061
01:12:27,009 --> 01:12:28,427
and everyone said,
1062
01:12:28,469 --> 01:12:31,597
"We don't want to be commercial."
1063
01:12:31,639 --> 01:12:34,517
Commercial was like the Monkees,
like the Turtles,
1064
01:12:34,559 --> 01:12:37,645
and commercial meant success.
1065
01:12:37,687 --> 01:12:41,399
For the good of the audience,
voc� � os Monkees.
1066
01:12:41,440 --> 01:12:44,860
1067
01:12:44,902 --> 01:12:48,114
When we got together,
we set the intention -
1068
01:12:48,155 --> 01:12:53,452
this band is about doing really well,
become famous and produce a lot of money.
1069
01:12:53,452 --> 01:12:55,538
That was our goal.
1070
01:12:55,580 --> 01:12:57,540
1071
01:12:57,582 --> 01:13:01,919
It was a goal that they achieved
with the debut album,
1072
01:13:01,961 --> 01:13:06,215
confirming the western haired troubadour
long and coated with denim
1073
01:13:06,257 --> 01:13:11,053
as the new image of commercial success.
1074
01:13:13,264 --> 01:13:17,226
The Eagles' next record was more
once written and designed
1075
01:13:17,268 --> 01:13:20,980
with the help of Jackson Browne
e JD Souther.
1076
01:13:25,693 --> 01:13:29,238
When Jackson turned 21, I gave him
The Album Of Gunfighters.
1077
01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:33,326
There were thieves' bodies
murdered in it,
1078
01:13:33,367 --> 01:13:37,371
shotgun riddled body
de John Wesley Hardin...
1079
01:13:37,371 --> 01:13:41,208
underneath, you could read about
how it all happened,
1080
01:13:41,250 --> 01:13:47,006
and, in a way, it kind of became
the temple for that Desperado record.
1081
01:13:48,633 --> 01:13:51,302
1082
01:13:51,344 --> 01:13:54,221
1083
01:13:54,263 --> 01:13:57,058
1084
01:13:57,058 --> 01:13:59,644
1085
01:13:59,685 --> 01:14:04,607
The notion of cowboys, those taciturns
and savage heroes,
1086
01:14:04,649 --> 01:14:07,109
entering a salon
1087
01:14:07,151 --> 01:14:10,237
and changing everyone's life forever
with a single shot or comment.
1088
01:14:10,279 --> 01:14:13,783
It's a mythological moment that caught on.
1089
01:14:13,824 --> 01:14:17,662
In Desperado, the Eagles invented
a collective identity
1090
01:14:17,703 --> 01:14:20,998
directly inspired by
your country roots ...
1091
01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:25,169
and for the latest American fantasy.
1092
01:14:25,211 --> 01:14:29,423
Like young boys 100 years before, before
become a guitar player in rock'n'roll,
1093
01:14:29,465 --> 01:14:36,681
they might as well have been rock'n'roll gunmen
- who would have been carrying guns instead of guitars -
1094
01:14:36,722 --> 01:14:40,559
so we decided to do this western theme
of shooting at the Malibu Hills exit.
1095
01:14:44,271 --> 01:14:47,024
It was almost like time travel
1096
01:14:47,066 --> 01:14:50,778
because we really feel that we are
back in the 1800s.
1097
01:14:50,820 --> 01:14:54,448
It was so real. The guys would come
running down the street
1098
01:14:54,490 --> 01:14:58,077
with their guns firing, and the
Eagles, and it was very heroic!
1099
01:15:02,998 --> 01:15:09,588
In the 1960s, LA singer-songwriters
they portrayed themselves as heroes of the counterculture.
1100
01:15:12,133 --> 01:15:15,136
The Eagles have reshaped themselves as fictional bandits,
1101
01:15:15,136 --> 01:15:20,057
an escapism that marked a timely separation
of the political world that surrounded them.
1102
01:15:21,642 --> 01:15:23,686
1103
01:15:23,728 --> 01:15:25,771
1104
01:15:25,771 --> 01:15:30,359
There can be no covering up of the facts ...
in the White House.
1105
01:15:30,401 --> 01:15:32,820
'Richard Nixon as President,'
1106
01:15:32,862 --> 01:15:35,614
valiums were on the rise.
1107
01:15:35,656 --> 01:15:38,325
People were taking tranquilizers
1108
01:15:38,367 --> 01:15:43,873
just to anesthetize themselves against
the reality of this right-wing regime
1109
01:15:43,914 --> 01:15:49,044
who was going from Vietnam to Cambodia with napalm.
1110
01:15:49,086 --> 01:15:54,175
is the life of an outlaw...
1111
01:15:54,216 --> 01:15:56,552
What did that do with the music
1112
01:15:56,594 --> 01:16:01,223
was, I think, for anyone who
I wanted to be a musician and continue,
1113
01:16:01,265 --> 01:16:03,350
was to stop complaining.
1114
01:16:05,227 --> 01:16:06,937
Shut up.
1115
01:16:06,979 --> 01:16:11,066
What are now are console songs
that can be marketed
1116
01:16:11,108 --> 01:16:13,819
in the great reality of the Republican regime.
1117
01:16:13,861 --> 01:16:19,158
The songs were more beautiful, and a mile from
wide and an inch deep.
1118
01:16:19,200 --> 01:16:22,828
MUSIC: "Desperado" by the Eagles
1119
01:16:22,870 --> 01:16:26,999
But the western escape from the Eagles
it was a commercial failure.
1120
01:16:27,041 --> 01:16:31,170
They would be forced to rethink
your country roots
1121
01:16:31,170 --> 01:16:33,506
and reinvent their cowboy image.
1122
01:16:33,547 --> 01:16:36,759
And there was more bad news from their record label.
1123
01:16:39,345 --> 01:16:43,098
Steve Ross, who led Warners
in those days, it came to me
1124
01:16:43,140 --> 01:16:45,643
and said he wanted to buy
1125
01:16:45,684 --> 01:16:49,396
and, uh, offered me
$ 7 million dollars for that,
1126
01:16:49,438 --> 01:16:53,567
which, at the time, seemed to me an amount
irresistible of money,
1127
01:16:53,609 --> 01:16:58,614
and I watched Sonny and Cher go out of their way
show in the world to nothing,
1128
01:16:58,656 --> 01:17:01,158
and Otis Redding die in
a plane crash,
1129
01:17:01,200 --> 01:17:05,496
and I thought, "Wow! $ 7 million!"
It was such a big number.
1130
01:17:05,538 --> 01:17:07,373
I mean, it ended up worth ...
1131
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:12,586
..much more money than
that I ended up selling
1132
01:17:12,628 --> 01:17:14,547
but, you know, I'm living well!
1133
01:17:14,588 --> 01:17:17,508
The management of Geffen and Roberts,
our management,
1134
01:17:17,550 --> 01:17:19,552
come to us ... oh, and our record company too,
1135
01:17:19,593 --> 01:17:23,722
and they tell us, "We sell
Asylum Records for Warner Brothers,
1136
01:17:23,764 --> 01:17:30,104
"we are sharing the management of the company, so you have to
find a new entrepreneur. "We were like" What ?! "
1137
01:17:31,313 --> 01:17:36,026
Geffen continued to manage Asylum Records,
now owned by Warner Brothers,
1138
01:17:36,068 --> 01:17:40,614
but he would be forced to surrender
the personal management of the Eagles
1139
01:17:40,656 --> 01:17:44,618
to another formidable and tireless
individual, Irving Azoff.
1140
01:17:44,660 --> 01:17:48,873
The first thing I thought was that Irving
would turn around and sue Geffen
1141
01:17:48,914 --> 01:17:53,502
to get the publication of the Eagles
back to Warner Brothers Music.
1142
01:17:53,544 --> 01:17:58,090
You know, successfully, people feel
as if they were entitled to more,
1143
01:17:58,090 --> 01:18:00,843
forgetting that when they
did these deals,
1144
01:18:00,885 --> 01:18:05,097
they had nothing and nobody
he was interested in them.
1145
01:18:07,641 --> 01:18:12,605
When Warner Brothers merged Asylum
with Elektra Records,
1146
01:18:12,646 --> 01:18:15,399
another independent record label
bought two years earlier,
1147
01:18:15,441 --> 01:18:18,193
there was a change in the tone of the
LA record label business.
1148
01:18:19,778 --> 01:18:24,575
The change was that more and more entrepreneurs
they were coming to the party.
1149
01:18:24,617 --> 01:18:27,286
The lawyers were being involved.
1150
01:18:27,328 --> 01:18:32,791
When it became more business
and less music ... I left.
1151
01:18:34,293 --> 01:18:36,670
What's going on in the process,
1152
01:18:36,712 --> 01:18:39,089
which I served contentedly,
1153
01:18:39,131 --> 01:18:41,091
Is the corporatisation of rock.
1154
01:18:41,133 --> 01:18:44,470
I mean, music died for
around the 70s medate.
1155
01:18:44,470 --> 01:18:47,806
At least in terms of everything that defined LA
1156
01:18:47,848 --> 01:18:49,808
a decade earlier.
1157
01:18:49,850 --> 01:18:52,895
If you go back to the Strip
in the late 60s,
1158
01:18:52,937 --> 01:18:55,898
there was a kind of utopian dimension,
1159
01:18:55,898 --> 01:19:01,153
and I think we were so excited
with that spirit
1160
01:19:01,195 --> 01:19:03,864
that people have failed
to see when
1161
01:19:03,906 --> 01:19:08,619
it was also about carrying them
ahead of Tower Records
1162
01:19:08,661 --> 01:19:11,956
or into a new world
all brave of consumption
1163
01:19:11,997 --> 01:19:15,250
in which rock'n'roll was simply
the soundtrack.
1164
01:19:15,250 --> 01:19:18,045
In an increasingly corporate climate,
1165
01:19:18,045 --> 01:19:20,881
the social scene was also moving -
1166
01:19:20,923 --> 01:19:23,676
away from bars like Troubadour
1167
01:19:23,717 --> 01:19:28,180
for a more exclusive night club.
1168
01:19:28,222 --> 01:19:33,268
Among the clients we had, there was a guy named
David Blue - a friend of ours, from Joni etc -
1169
01:19:33,310 --> 01:19:38,315
and we had scheduled all of our biggest presentations
inside Troubadour and I called Doug Weston
1170
01:19:38,357 --> 01:19:43,153
and asked him to put David Blue
there, and he wouldn't do that.
1171
01:19:43,195 --> 01:19:47,408
I said, "look, I gave you Crosby, Stills, Nash And Young,
the Eagles, Jackson Browne and Joni Mitchell,
1172
01:19:47,408 --> 01:19:50,536
"Linda Ronstadt etc. I want
that you put David Blue. "
1173
01:19:50,577 --> 01:19:53,038
He said, "I'm not going to put David Blue on."
1174
01:19:53,080 --> 01:19:57,001
I said, "if you don’t put David Blue,
I will start a club. "
1175
01:19:57,042 --> 01:19:59,461
And he said, "Do you think
can you start a club? "
1176
01:19:59,503 --> 01:20:05,342
I said, "a club? Yes, I think I can start a club, and
if you don't put David Blue on Troubadour, I will. "
1177
01:20:05,384 --> 01:20:07,845
And he said, "Fuck you, do it."
1178
01:20:07,886 --> 01:20:09,722
So we did.
1179
01:20:14,101 --> 01:20:18,689
Roxy represented a new Sunset Strip type
1180
01:20:18,731 --> 01:20:24,820
in which the Eagles and their entourage met
at the center of an exclusive elite.
1181
01:20:24,862 --> 01:20:26,780
'Suddenly,'
1182
01:20:26,822 --> 01:20:29,450
there was terribly a lot of money,
1183
01:20:29,450 --> 01:20:32,578
many celebrities,
1184
01:20:32,578 --> 01:20:35,748
a lot of, "you can come here,
voc� n�o."
1185
01:20:35,789 --> 01:20:37,916
1186
01:20:37,958 --> 01:20:40,377
1187
01:20:40,377 --> 01:20:45,966
In their composition, the Eagles started writing the chronicle
of the hedonistic lifestyle of the mid 70s
1188
01:20:46,008 --> 01:20:48,510
in which they were players
first-rate.
1189
01:20:48,552 --> 01:20:50,888
In the summer after the fourth album,
I left.
1190
01:20:50,929 --> 01:20:54,058
For a long time, I felt
who couldn’t talk about it,
1191
01:20:54,099 --> 01:20:58,270
partially because it had to do
with my personal use of drugs,
1192
01:20:58,312 --> 01:21:00,522
and lots of party,
1193
01:21:00,564 --> 01:21:02,274
and I needed to get away from it.
1194
01:21:02,316 --> 01:21:03,942
And when I leave,
1195
01:21:03,984 --> 01:21:09,448
the whole acoustic thing, bluegrass,
folk, viol�o ac�stico
1196
01:21:09,448 --> 01:21:10,949
left.
1197
01:21:10,991 --> 01:21:13,535
1198
01:21:13,535 --> 01:21:16,205
1199
01:21:16,246 --> 01:21:18,832
1200
01:21:18,874 --> 01:21:22,294
Bernie Leadon was replaced by
her�i do viol�o Joe Walsh,
1201
01:21:22,336 --> 01:21:26,131
how the Eagles abandoned
its acoustic roots,
1202
01:21:26,131 --> 01:21:29,384
and followed the musical drift in
towards studio rock.
1203
01:21:29,426 --> 01:21:32,596
There was a point in the 1970s
in which you perceived
1204
01:21:32,638 --> 01:21:37,559
that many of his contemporaries have become self-satisfied
and presumptuous about their own positions?
1205
01:21:37,601 --> 01:21:42,481
I realized this about myself but I don't
I make any judgment of the rest of them.
1206
01:21:44,149 --> 01:21:49,571
In 1974, Crosby, Stills, Nash And Young
embarked on a world tour,
1207
01:21:49,613 --> 01:21:55,160
the extravagance in which he violently collided
with the morality of their songs.
1208
01:21:55,202 --> 01:21:58,539
1209
01:22:00,332 --> 01:22:02,251
1210
01:22:03,919 --> 01:22:06,338
1211
01:22:07,798 --> 01:22:10,759
We had 85 people on the team,
1212
01:22:10,801 --> 01:22:13,679
we had helicopters, jets,
1213
01:22:13,720 --> 01:22:16,807
limosines in front of the
hotel 24 hours a day ...
1214
01:22:16,849 --> 01:22:19,893
It was just too much exercise.
1215
01:22:20,853 --> 01:22:25,107
1216
01:22:26,150 --> 01:22:29,236
1217
01:22:29,278 --> 01:22:32,322
1218
01:22:32,364 --> 01:22:35,409
You are the top on the charts,
everyone loved you,
1219
01:22:35,450 --> 01:22:38,453
you have enough women
to satisfy you for years,
1220
01:22:38,453 --> 01:22:42,332
you have enough money and the ability
to buy the best drugs,
1221
01:22:42,332 --> 01:22:44,376
and, you know, it dominates,
1222
01:22:44,418 --> 01:22:46,753
and dominated.
1223
01:22:46,795 --> 01:22:49,298
1224
01:22:49,339 --> 01:22:55,095
In my perspective, these were the guys who were
talking about freedom, about justice,
1225
01:22:55,137 --> 01:22:59,600
about respect for Mother Earth,
about going back to the Garden.
1226
01:22:59,641 --> 01:23:02,728
It was very difficult to do
sense of it all.
1227
01:23:02,728 --> 01:23:05,522
1228
01:23:06,732 --> 01:23:12,070
They all represented, for me,
liberal Hollywood concepts.
1229
01:23:12,112 --> 01:23:13,822
They favored the money
1230
01:23:13,864 --> 01:23:17,701
and they just forgot
this sometimes,
1231
01:23:17,743 --> 01:23:21,121
walking on a narrow line.
1232
01:23:21,163 --> 01:23:25,500
But, anyway, it was about
be successful.
1233
01:23:25,542 --> 01:23:29,838
In 1975, musicians once politically
LA conscious
1234
01:23:29,880 --> 01:23:32,257
were consumed by cynicism,
1235
01:23:32,257 --> 01:23:37,095
a mood fueled by a substance
that replaced marijuana and acid
1236
01:23:37,137 --> 01:23:38,680
as the Hollywood drug of choice.
1237
01:23:38,722 --> 01:23:44,561
One of his first defenders and his
biggest victims was David Crosby.
1238
01:23:44,603 --> 01:23:50,651
David had bowls of that, big
wooden bowls of coca�na,
1239
01:23:50,692 --> 01:23:53,820
and he was completely naked,
with his plump tummy,
1240
01:23:53,862 --> 01:23:56,823
and it was different. He felt ok.
1241
01:23:56,865 --> 01:24:00,953
It felt good,
in 1969, 1970.
1242
01:24:00,994 --> 01:24:05,082
That just slowly
it was pretty horrible.
1243
01:24:05,123 --> 01:24:07,626
1244
01:24:07,668 --> 01:24:10,128
1245
01:24:10,170 --> 01:24:13,173
between the two
1246
01:24:13,173 --> 01:24:14,758
1247
01:24:15,926 --> 01:24:18,136
1248
01:24:19,471 --> 01:24:23,892
When we started using cocaine
and heroine and methamphetamine,
1249
01:24:23,934 --> 01:24:25,519
as a generation ...
1250
01:24:28,563 --> 01:24:34,528
that essentially degraded the
original spirit that we had
1251
01:24:34,528 --> 01:24:37,572
in that group of people,
in California,
1252
01:24:37,614 --> 01:24:40,450
to a very low level ...
1253
01:24:40,492 --> 01:24:43,245
1254
01:24:43,287 --> 01:24:47,791
make me sick
1255
01:24:47,833 --> 01:24:49,626
1256
01:24:49,668 --> 01:24:53,964
and moving from one to another
it was a palpable thing.
1257
01:24:54,006 --> 01:24:56,133
You could feel it.
1258
01:24:57,426 --> 01:25:00,887
More greed, more anger,
more madness,
1259
01:25:00,887 --> 01:25:02,347
more...
1260
01:25:03,640 --> 01:25:06,018
darkness.
1261
01:25:06,059 --> 01:25:09,062
MUSIC: "Hotel California"
by the Eagles
1262
01:25:17,070 --> 01:25:19,281
In less than a decade,
1263
01:25:19,323 --> 01:25:24,661
collective optimism gave way to a
ruthlessly egocentric culture
1264
01:25:24,703 --> 01:25:29,624
and, in 1976, with typical honesty
of LA singer-songwriters,
1265
01:25:29,666 --> 01:25:33,253
the Eagles captured the mood
with a scathing tribute
1266
01:25:33,253 --> 01:25:38,884
to the city whose appeal has been proven
seductive long before the 70s.
1267
01:25:40,802 --> 01:25:43,805
A full view of
Hotel California -
1268
01:25:43,847 --> 01:25:46,808
finally, the pilgrims come to Paradise,
1269
01:25:46,850 --> 01:25:50,645
just to find a hotel
ruined in a tedious ocean,
1270
01:25:50,687 --> 01:25:54,316
where people were all
thinking about suicide -
1271
01:25:54,358 --> 01:25:57,277
this is a very consistent view.
1272
01:25:57,319 --> 01:26:00,530
1273
01:26:01,698 --> 01:26:03,658
1274
01:26:03,700 --> 01:26:05,577
Remember, in the 1940s,
1275
01:26:05,577 --> 01:26:11,208
all the big stars, and half of
Bloomsbury, were in Los Angeles,
1276
01:26:11,208 --> 01:26:15,212
along with an entire generation
of American writers,
1277
01:26:15,253 --> 01:26:18,256
and they ended up rehearsing all possible
forms of despair and alienation,
1278
01:26:18,298 --> 01:26:20,550
all kinds of pleasure and euphoria.
1279
01:26:20,592 --> 01:26:22,803
1280
01:26:22,844 --> 01:26:26,390
Everyone could find some
part of Los Angeles
1281
01:26:26,431 --> 01:26:29,935
that could be the carrier of
any of your dreams
1282
01:26:29,976 --> 01:26:31,520
or your nightmares.
1283
01:26:31,561 --> 01:26:33,271
1284
01:26:33,313 --> 01:26:36,608
or this could be hell...
1285
01:26:36,650 --> 01:26:41,238
So, in a way, the emotional landscape
that the rock generation lived
1286
01:26:41,279 --> 01:26:46,618
was repeating what the writers
passed in the 1920s,
1287
01:26:46,660 --> 01:26:49,830
changing between the land of light
of the sun and the land of black.
1288
01:26:49,871 --> 01:26:53,667
Hotel California...
1289
01:26:53,708 --> 01:26:58,255
The Eagles had evolved from
a generation of artists
1290
01:26:58,296 --> 01:27:02,801
whose determination to success
they brought them to LA,
1291
01:27:02,843 --> 01:27:10,183
and in the same year with Hotel California, that
ambition has reached its final peak
1292
01:27:10,225 --> 01:27:12,269
when the Eagles released another record
1293
01:27:12,310 --> 01:27:17,149
that marked the commercial climax
ten-year journey.
1294
01:27:18,066 --> 01:27:23,113
People always put the greatest hits albums
when the bands are declining.
1295
01:27:23,155 --> 01:27:26,575
I wanted to put it on when they
were at their absolute peak.
1296
01:27:26,616 --> 01:27:30,078
That album is the biggest of
sales of all time.
1297
01:27:30,120 --> 01:27:35,667
Sales of the Eagles' greatest hits prompted
the invention of the platinum record.
1298
01:27:35,709 --> 01:27:40,297
It was the first time in a long line of
Multi-million albums in sales
1299
01:27:40,338 --> 01:27:43,758
commercially and musically inspired
for Los Angeles.
1300
01:27:43,800 --> 01:27:48,180
And that marked the end of the journey
in which the collective ambition
1301
01:27:48,221 --> 01:27:50,891
of a community of troubadours united by
strong relationships and common interests
1302
01:27:50,932 --> 01:27:56,146
made LA the corporate capital
of the musical world.
1303
01:27:57,355 --> 01:27:59,566
Don't miss it. Don't miss it.
1304
01:28:18,418 --> 01:28:21,880
but he's not forgotten
1305
01:28:25,091 --> 01:28:29,179
a Johnny Rotten
1306
01:28:33,058 --> 01:28:36,770
1307
01:28:36,770 --> 01:28:39,105
1308
01:28:41,149 --> 01:28:44,653
but he's not forgotten...
1309
01:28:44,653 --> 01:28:48,114
