Live (1993)

EW's GRADE
D+

Details Release Date: Jul 20, 1993; Lead Performance: Glenn Frey; Genre: Rock

Two things stick out on this poorly recorded concert, Live, by a founding member of the Eagles. One, how much of today's country music imitates '70s rock. And two, how much the other Eagles propped up Glenn Frey's wimpy vocals and flagging energy. When Frey and crew do ''Lyin' Eyes,'' they sound like every hard-luck cover band in America. D+
