Mike Millard captured the Eagles' stage performance, especially the one just before the band's breakup, in superb sound quality, and "Santa Monica 1980: Mike Millard 1st Generation Cassette" surprised enthusiasts around the world, and it is already a best-seller that is almost sold out. The discovery of a sound source that he captured the Eagles' stage literally in full Millard quality was huge. The 1980 Santa Monica performance that he recorded took place over three consecutive nights, and it is common knowledge among enthusiasts that all of them were officially recorded and formed the core of the later live album "Eagle's Live". However, for better or worse, "EAGLES LIVE" is a typical official live album, and one cannot hope for a complete recording of one show. In fact, it was a mysterious edit that mixed in with the 1976 stage, so "SANTA MONICA 1980: MIKE MILLARD 1ST GENERATION CASSETTE" made enthusiasts ecstatic. However, this excavation revealed that Millard had recorded the first day of the three consecutive days of Santa Monica. The quality is excellent this time as well, and is on par with the best-selling "SANTA MONICA 1980~". That alone makes it a surprising first-time sound source worthy of release, but what is most noteworthy is that this recording is a complete recording. In fact, "SANTA MONICA 1980~" was an incomplete recording with the final part of the live performance not included. This means that the oldies cover "Sea Cruise", which is a symbol of the 1980 tour, is also included this time. In addition, the sound quality is superb, as only Millard can. And above all, they included the killer finale "Best Of My Love" without fail. Since it was the first day of a three-night series, Millard adjusted the volume immediately after the start of the live performance, but this was adjusted properly for this release. In other words, the fact that the CD will be released without any other changes proves that Millard's recording is once again of exceptional quality. The fact that they recorded the live performance to the end in such a wonderful recording state is extremely important. The value as a document is also high. As can be seen from the fact that four songs from this day were used in the previous "EAGLES LIVE," the total performance content is also more fulfilling than "SANTA MONICA 1980: MIKE MILLARD 1ST GENERATION CASSETTE." In the first place, even though the band was in its final stages due to the discord between Glenn Frey and Don Felder, the first day unearthed this time seems to be trying to do its best as an American, with an awareness of the official recording. In particular, the performance of "Hotel California" is clearly better than that of "SANTA MONICA 1980~". And "Take It Easy" was not performed on the third day, but was included in "EAGLES LIVE", and it was not only an impressive performance that concluded the live album, but also a discovery this time that Fry had replaced part of the second song. Not only does it reveal everything about the live that cannot be glimpsed from the official version, but it also reveals such shocking facts, which is the true nature of audience recordings. In the first place, "EAGLES LIVE" has too good a sound, or rather, it shows the finish of a live album that is typical of the early 1980s, with only the outline of the performance pushed forward to the forefront, to the point that it seems as if the cheers were "overlaid on a studio recording". This mirrored recording also brings a sense of realism that is incomparable to the official version, with a pleasant balance that approaches the listener. This is a shocking first-time Miller recording that reveals everything about the Eagles' final stage, which even the previous "SANTA MONICA 1980: MIKE MILLARD 1ST GENERATION CASSETTE" could not achieve, and is a new standard for Eagles live performances in 1980.
