According to the LA Times, Linda Ronstadt not only performed at Disneyland in 1971 but also brought along Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner to be her band. Those four would later form The Eagles. How’s that for some Disney rock history?
July 15, 1971: Linda Ronstadt (and the Eagles): Ronstadt had established herself as a star with her band the Stone Poneys in the late-1960s, and was booked for a week of shows at Disneyland in 1971. Only problem was, she didn’t have a regular touring band at the time. So she invited four musicians she’d met through her regular appearances at the Troubadour in West Hollywood to join her for the Anaheim shows. It was the first time that Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner performed together, and it wasn’t long until they’d flown the coop as Ronstadt’s supporting group to take flight as the Eagles.
