There was a programme called The History of the Eagles on BBC 1 last night. It gave some interesting insights, particularly into the shoddy treatment of Leadon and Felder, although it glossed over the reasons for Joe Walsh's inclusion in the band. They also seemed a bit too grateful to Linda Rondstadt, and again the relationship was not made clear. From the documentary, Glenn Frey seems a bit strange.
The second and final part is on tonight at 10:30, looking at the split and subsequent reunion in the mid-nineties.
