On April 17, 2001, the Eagles were in Los Angeles during rehearsals for a European tour. They were also about to begin work on their comeback album Long Road Out Of Eden – their first new album since The Long Run in 1979.

Schmit – about their plans for the new album, their history, and why they had recently parted company with guitarist Don Felder.
