In the very early 70's. before their first album came out. I saw the Eagles in a relatively small venue called The Gardens Auditorium on the PNE fair grounds in Vancouver. Saw Pink Floyd there too but that's another story.

The Eagles were the openers of a three band program. Bull Angus were second and Cactus, which was who I wanted to see, were the headliners. I never heard of the Eagles before and neither did anyone else because there were only about 20 people in the building, loosely scattered, mostly in the few rows of seats. Before the Eagles started playing, Glen Frey, who I assume was frontman at the time, asked for everyone to get closer together on the floor in front of the stage and make like it was a party. I always sat there at concerts anyway but the other attendees all gathered around as asked.

Not sure if it was arranged by the Eagles or just a generous individual, but when everyone had parked themselves, someone circled around the crowd, small though it was, and tossed in rolled joints.

Can't remember what song they started with but it was not to my liking. As far as I was concerned, it was country and not what I wanted to listen to at a Cactus concert. They redeemed themselves somewhat by playing Witchy Woman which more along the lines of what I paid my $3.00 to hear that night. As they played, the crowd grew somewhat but was nowhere near as big as when the second band, Bull Angus started.

I liked Witchy Woman enough to buy the album, plus it was de rigueur in those days to get the latest (or first in this case) album by a band you've just seen. Must admit that after playing it a few times, Take It Easy started to grow on me. Also must admit that it was one of the most well recorded albums I'd heard up to then.

Great story. Witchy Woman was my introduction to the Eagles as well. I think my first copy of their debut LP was one of those bootleg 8-track tapes that they sold in vending machines in grocery stores in the 70s. I liked the entire album and I wore that tape out using a portable player -- riding around in my first car, a '65 Impala Super Sport, great memories.
