Thanks to all for MULN/eagles insights. Interesting stories indeed. I did some reading. Interesting that randy meisner quit because after writing "Take it to the limit" he didn't want to continually sing it because it's high notes were strenuous. He wanted to drop the song on tours, but they said no because of it's popularity.

"According to Frey, fans of the band loved Meisner's performance of "Take It to the Limit" at their concerts, and came to consider it his signature song within the band. Henley, too, noted that fans "went crazy when Randy hit those high notes".[10] Meisner, however, was concerned about not being able to hit the high notes. Frey was insistent that Meisner should perform the song in concert, and live performances of the song then became a source of great contention between Frey and Meisner – eventually becoming one reason for Meisner's departure from the band.

Meisner had been struggling to hit the crucial high notes in the song during the Hotel California tour. According to Joe Walsh, Meisner could perform the song, but would become nervous when told he had to sing it.[10] By the time they had reached Knoxville, Tennessee in June 1977, the band was feeling the strain of a long tour, with Meisner unhappy and suffering from a stomach ulcer.[11] Meisner decided not to sing the song for an encore because he had been up late and caught the flu.[12] Frey and Meisner then became involved in an angry physical confrontation backstage over Meisner's refusal to perform the song.[10] After the altercation, Meisner was frozen out from the band and he decided to leave."https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Take_It_to_the_Limit_(Eagles_song)
