Take It To The Limit - Eagles, The (cover-live by Bill Sharkey)

Take It To The Limit (Eagles, The, 1975). Live cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Home Studio, Hawaii Kai, HI. 2021-01-18. "Keeping the Oldies Alive"

"Take It To The Limit" was the Eagles 5th top 10 hit climbing to #4 in 1975 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (Whitburn, 2013). The song was written by Don Henley, Randy Meisner and Glenn Frey and sung by Meisner; according to Meisner, "The line 'take it to the limit' was to keep trying. You reach a point in your life where you feel you've done everything and seen everything - it's part of getting old. And just to take it to the limit one more time, like every day just keep punching away at it" (songfacts.com, 2022). Meisner left the band in 1977; he claimed he was extremely nervous about singing the song in concert, especially the high note at the end; band members insisted that he sing it which led to a fight and his decision to quit after the tour (A. Matyus, grunge.com, Aug 7, 2020). He was replaced by bassist Timothy B. Schmit of Poco fame (songfacts.com, 2022).
