About this photograph
"Soon after commencing this session, the band walked out. I had no idea why at the time. A week later, I showed them a poster design I had created by combining a number of individual shots. They loved it and all was forgiven. It became a poster insert for the HOTEL CALIFORNIA album. I shot the Eagles 2 years later for a ROLLING STONE cover and recently re-designed the original poster in color for the re-release of the HOTEL CALIFORNIA vinyl. This is the result."
