GLENN FREY
November 6, 1948 – January 18, 2016
With the passing of Glenn Frey on January 18, 2016…
……….this closes any further attempt to build complete
Eagles autographed memorabilia from this legendary band.
I will now only concentrate my efforts on signed solo material.
RANDY MEISNER
March 8, 1946 – July 26, 2023
The passing of the second original Eagle member…
……….the most kindest and most humble member of the band
(and perhaps in all of Rock and Roll).
Two fully signed Eagles first LP mobile’s which were once part of a larger hanging display.
Please note that many of these EAGLES signatures date back over 30+ years ago.
Please also note the amount of personally inscribed items and the fact that only the members that played on the product signed/autographed the items. The completes, are true completes.
Perhaps the largest and most authentic collection of signed Eagles memorabilia on the internet.
The band Eagles still remain so caught up with the re-selling of their signature and the worry of signing for what they perceive are non real fans. However, it wasn’t always that way: In what I refer to as “their solo years”, between 1980 – 1994, these Eagles band members were signing literally anything and almost everything that they were handed and for what amounts to as FREE. In addition, I never stopped to pay much attention to how any of the 7 members were signing my items or how on “this day” the signature was a bit different than “that day”.
I was both happy and thankful to receive their autograph (and still am) on “any day”.
all signed by Don Henley, again showing the variances of this mans signature.
SPECIAL NOTE on my relationship with my favorite Eagle, Randy Meisner:
I have seen Randy Meisner is various solo concerts in the states of Oregon, Mississippi, Nevada, Utah and Washington, as well as over a dozen times here in California starting in 1987, up until just before he retired from touring around 2006/2007.
Randy and his then wife Lana were very kind and generous to me. They sent me Christmas cards for about a 10 year period and I was always welcomed to call Lana on her cell phone and check on Randy’s health, or just to say hello. Randy was always as friendly and as generous with his time, his stories and his autograph, as a celebrity could possibly be. Randy has always been above and beyond to myself and so many others fans during the time that I had interaction and friendship with him.
I truly hold deep personal thoughts and very special memories of Randy Meisner;
one of the most beautiful and amazing voices in all of Rock and Roll.
Two vintage and fully signed solo guitar music books
autographed by Randy Meisner,
signed October 18, 1992 in San Juan Capistrano.
Though I never saw the band EAGLES prior to their early 1980’s breakup,
I saw many of their solo shows and their various resumption concerts
in the years and decades that followed.
One by one, little by little, I was able to meet and watch
each of these incredibly gifted musicians perform.
ONE OF MY FAVORITE EAGLES PIECES OF MY COLLECTION.
Double framed Eagles (debut LP) and their U.S. Greatest Hits album,
signed by each member who was part of the band at the time of recording/release.
TRY AND GET DON HENLEY TO SIGN
SOMETHING LIKE THIS THESE DAYS:
The inscribed drumhead was signed by Don Henley at the KLSX Record Swap at The Bonaventure Hotel on December 7, 1991. Personally inscribed and including “Best Wishes” makes this truly an amazing piece of very rare Don Henley memorabilia.
December 7, 1991, the day Don Henley was at the 97.1 KLSX Record Swap and Convention at the Bonaventure Hotel. For a period of about 4 hours, he sat at a chair and signed hundreds of autographs, for free, for the fans that attended.
It is the day I received about 40+ signatures during that day, by Don Henley. A day, that has never been duplicated, at least here in Los Angeles, ever since.
THANK YOU MR. JACK TEMPCHIN
Personally signed ” History of the Eagles” Tour Program by Eagles producer, writer and solo artist Jack Tempchin. Autographed prior to he and Timothy B. Schmit’s concert at The Coach House in San Juan Capistrano on January 7, 2017.
One of a total of 3 such signed Tour Books by Mr. Tempchin.
at club “Wise Guys” on April 2, 1994.
Each of these 4 artists were later given this same photo that I took,
and each one autographed the one above for me.
and The Most Beautiful Girl In The World, at club “Wise Guys”
in Pasadena on April 2, 1994.

To this day, I still cannot believe the detail that Glenn provided above:
It was very rare to have Glenn Frey autograph anything more than just his name and perhaps an inscription when asked to sign. I have seen very, very few detailed inscriptions on any Glenn Frey autographs in over 30 years of collecting.
This extra inscribed, autographed photo is a very rare score.
was signed outside of his former Mulholland Drive estate on September 26, 1989. Probably not the smartest of places to obtain Mr. Henley’s autograph, even back then.
Signed boldly by Timothy B. Schmit at the Ringo Starr All-Star
concert on August 12, 1992, at the Los Angeles Greek Theatre.
by Timothy B. Schmit, at Club Largo in Los Angeles
on October 14, 2009, prior to that nights concert.
SIMPLY BEAUTIFULLY PRE-SIGNED SOLO POSTERS:
Both of the above Timothy B. Schmit Tour Posters were “pre-signed” and for sale
at The Coach House in San Juan Capistrano on January 7, 2017,

solo performance at The Cave Nightclub
in Big Bear City, CA, on December 1, 2017.
The two above autographed photos were purchased
directly from Don Felder’s web site.
(they were not signed in person).
Another fantastic means for fans in all
states to obtain and keep real autographs.
These are signed photographs obtained.
directly from Don Felder’s website.
This is exactly the type of system artists can use to help supply
REAL and AUTHENTIC signatures for fans to enjoy,
all the while cutting down the need to have
celebrities chased stalked out in the streets.
Various autographed 8X10’s that Don Felder has sold
through his on line Web-Site Store
starting back about 2005. I have about a dozen,
more/less, of each of these photos.
Autographed posters that Don Felder started to sell in 2017/2018.
on his very nice and stocked quite full website store.
Another fantastic means for fans in all states to obtain and keep real autographs.
outside The Grammy Museum in L.A. on October 17, 2012.
in May of 2019. This means is a win/win for fans and celebrities.
DONJ FELDER’S AUTOBIOGRAPHY
Heaven and Hell – My Life In The Eagles (1974 – 2001)
Don Felder “Heaven and Hell” hardcover books, very personally signed at
Barnes and Noble in Santa Monica on May 6, 2008 and
at Book Soup in West Hollywood on May 16, 2008.
Bernie is an incredibly talented musician that still this day has not fully received the credit that he deserves for all that he has contributed to Rock and Roll.
Obtained on Mulholland Drive in the Hollywood Hills on September 26, 1989, prior to that nights concert. Henley wasn’t too happy about signing so close to his house.
the following signed items of memorabilia can never be completed as fully signed Eagles band autographs. With respect to the many difficulties it can often take to obtain Don Henley’s signature, these items will in all probability remain as you see them here as they were at the time of Glenn Frey’s passing. I will now concentrate my efforts of collecting only solo signatures from the remaining band members.

THE FOLLOWING ARE SIGNED ALBUMS,
INNER LP POSTERS AND/OR SLEEVES
I am often asked, “do you know when Don Henley or Glenn Frey signed this album”?
With a collection this size that began over 35+ years ago, it is impossible to say with absolute date certainty as to exactly when each signature was obtained. There are over 500 signatures from these 7 members on this page alone.
There are some dates that do have a remembrance more so than others:
Don Henley, December 7, 1991 was a date where Mr. Henley autographed over 40+ items for me at the KLSX Record Swap and Convention at The Los Angeles Bonaventure Hotel.
The week of November 16 thru the 20th, 1992, Glenn Frey autographed about a dozen items for me as he was at KLOS Radio (11/16/1992), The Coach House Theater in San Juan Capistrano (11/18/1992) and The Ventura Theater (11/20/1992).
Glenn Frey also signed 4 albums for me as he arrived for the Super Bowl pre-game show at the Pasadena Rose Bowl on January 31, 1993.
However, pin pointing as to when a signature was signed,
via pre Ebay and internet,was never a concern or especially
even a thought of mine back in those very early days.
and green pressed disc, autographed by all 5 members
from this best selling album.
A complete win/win for both Don Felder and his fans:
Sold from his website during 2020, is the signed American Rock and Roll album.
I purchased the above 2 signed albums directly from Don Felder’s website in May of 2020.
Sometimes Timothy B. Schmit is in a happy mood to sign, and sometimes he just isn’t. Thus by the full signature on his Expando album, and his “first name only” on his Leap Of Faith album. Either way, I feel very fortunate to add these signed solo albums, however they are signed, to my collection.

COLLECTING AUTOGRAPHS FROM ANY OF THE MEMBERS OF THE BAND, EAGLES, TRULY DEFINES THE PHRASE, “THE LONG RUN”.
