It was on Eagles' live album, their greatest hits volume II, as well as a few others. It was too bad it was never released in '72 but I heard it at "one" of their shows in '72!

Eagles' original greatest hits album still remains the all-time best selling album!

I think.

An interesting note on this (I had to look it up too, I'm anal that way) the song was originally recorded by it's composer Steve Young, for his album Rock Salt & Nails in '69 and was indeed re-released in '72 on the album titled "Seven Bridges Road". The first album was a pioneer of the fledgling Country Rock movement, and the musicians included Gram Parsons, Chris Ethridge, Gene Clark, and James Burton. That is one nifty lineup there. Now I want to hear the original version. :)

Lucky & I are having trouble verifying that this song even exists :o I'll keep looking into it, is it possible that it would be under a different title?

edit: It was the B*side of the Smooth Operator single and never released on an official album. The listed year is also correct. ;)

Since I have it, I am sure that it must exist but then my brain has been known to go south on occassion so... :D:D:D
