I love this song, definitely gets cranked up whenever it comes on the radio in the car.

mix this up in my head with "Sister Golden Hair" in the chorus when instead of repeating "I'm already gone" it goes into "and I just can't make it" and that sweet riff
good tune in either case, top shelf Eagles

This song manages to rock despite Frey having one of the world's most boring voices.

i was gonna try to front and say this is already a poorer knockoff of take it easy
but the chorus is damn good, and the dual guitar solo is really good
it keeps coming back a lot for me on this thread but i've never encountered a band where there aren't really that many DEEP CUTS...it's like there's...the hits....

This is the first album by the Eagles to be released in Quadraphonic surround sound. It was released on Quadraphonic 8-track tape and CD-4 LP.
I am inordinately curious as to how this sounds. It might feel like eating lunch by oneself while assorted Eagles are harmonizing all around you.
― Shart Week (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Wednesday, 11 September 2013 17:50 (eleven years ago) link
It is so fun the harmonize with the chorus of this song, and also sing the WOO HOO HOOs. It is truly a vict'ry song.

When you walk into a party and see Glenn Frey at the door with a fishbowl, RUN.

YES and throwing my dumb ex's terrible 8-tracks out the window after leaving his petulant, cheating ass stranded on the corner in Winslow, Arizona.
Glenn Frey hosting a key party is an image I may never quite recover from.

if don felder greets you at the door, you'll prob get laid but you might have to listen to a lot of whining about frey
if don henley greets you at the door, your body will be found in the basement many months later
if randy meisner greets you at the door, you'll have a nice lunch of soup and sandwiches

Total jam. Having been "put on the shelf" a few times myself, i gotta admit the narrator in this song has a pretty decent attitude about how to get over a breakup.

I always associate "Already Gone" with the section in the Dazed & Confused companion book covering Shavonne. There's a paragraph detailing her first dance with boyfriend Don at a Halloween party in '74--she was dressed as Faye Dunaway's Bonnie Parker, he as Joe Namath, and the band was starting up "Already Gone". A great, vivid image, easily up there with anything in the actual movie.
That aside, um, this is one of those songs that every once in a while I'll go crazy for if I hear it on the radio in the right frame of mind, but most of the time I'm kinda 'meh'. But if anything, it was the D&C thing that brought me around at all on the song. It is a nice sing-along.
Ever wondered how this song would sound like coming from a woman? Wilson Phillips is here to help!

This one's also got that famous last chorus truck driver gear change. Whereas its usual for a key change of a semitone or a tone, this one leaps by something like a fourth.

I was always amused at how Queen would make such a big deal about putting "no computers/synthesizers used" on their albums and then open up The Game with the most over the top Oberheim synth ever on "Play The Game." Of course Frey sings this, he's annoyed at not rocking out. Cal Jam live clip is great.
