THE EAGLES’ BOX SET IN THE PIPELINE
A disc of live performances, recorded at the end of 1999, will be the only unreleased material on an upcoming THE EAGLES box set, a four-volume package slated for release November 14. There were a number of other rarities under consideration — including early album outtakes; vintage live recordings; the band’s sole non-album B-side, “Get in the Mood”; and tracks from last summer’s aborted studio sessions — but those were all scratched in favor of more familiar material.
Rather than presenting the previously released material chronologically, THE EAGLES box will divide the songs into three thematic discs: country rock, ballads, and straightforward rock. The fourth will contain highlights from the band’s ballyhooed New Year’s Eve show at the Staples Center in Los Angeles last year and from two performances in Las Vegas, including seldom-performed selections, such as a cover of Tom Waits’ “Ol’ 55” and a new arrangement of “Best of My Love.”
