History of the Eagles released on disc (video)

eagles-grab.jpgThe Eagles, started in Los Angeles in 1971 by Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Bernie Leadon, and Randy Meisner, grew out of the Linda Ronstadt, David Geffen, Troubadour club association that wrote several chapters of the future history of the music business. Capitol Record today is releasing on DVD and Blu-Ray the "History of the Eagles" documentary that aired earlier this year on Showtime. Says the flackage: "This exceptional three-disc set includes History of the Eagles Part One and History of the Eagles Part Two, as well as Eagles Live At The Capital Centre - March 1977, featuring never-before-released performances from the Eagles' two-night stand at Washington, D.C.'s Capital Center during the legendary Hotel California tour." Here's the trailer.
