If any band proves that enormous success isn't necessarily a route to mental well-being and all-round happiness, it's The Eagles. Glenn Frey fell out with Randy Meisner. Joe Walsh and Bernie Leadon fell out with everyone. And, most damagingly, Glenn Frey fell out with Don Felder.
Things came to head in July 1980, on the final date of The Long Run tour. The show, which Frey had organised as a benefit in support of Democratic State Senator Alan Cranston – then engaged in an election campaign against Republican Paul Gann – took place at the 14,500-capacity Long Beach Arena in California. And Felder wasn't happy about it.
