Boracay Island today,
December 21, 2025.
On this day in 1975, the Eagles single “Take It To The Limit” debuted on the US Billboard Hot 100 at #80 (December 20)
The song from the “One of These Nights” LP eventually reached #4 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and was also the Eagles' greatest success to that point in the UK, going to #12 on the charts.
“Take It To The Limit” was memorably sung by bass player Randy Meisner, and was written by Meisner, Don Henley and Glenn Frey.
According to Meisner, he wrote the first few lines of the song one night on an acoustic guitar after returning from the Troubadour nightclub in West Hollywood to the apartment he shared with his ex-wife Jennifer on Arch Drive in Studio City.
According to randymeisnerretrospective.com, Jennifer recalled one day Randy sharing the opening lines of the song with her:
“We were sitting on our bed….he was showing me what he had written, and just asked me which wording would be better.”
The next day Don Henley and Glenn Frey came over and sat around in the small living room tossing ideas around about the song.
In 2009, Randy recalled:
“Take It To The Limit” was a song where we were getting close to recording, and it wasn’t finished.
Don and Glenn helped me with the lyrics.
I started the song, but they helped me a lot.”
In a 1977 interview, Meisner revealed the meaning behind the lyric:
“The line “Take It To The Limit” was to keep trying before you reach a point in your life where you feel you’ve done everything and seen everything, sort of feeling, you know, part of getting old.
And just to take it to the limit one more time, like every day just keep, you know, punching away at it…..that was the line, and from there the song took a different course.”
In 1988, he mused about how cool it was that the song was radio-driven:
“What was nice about that it was never really promoted. It was the radio people who chose it without pushing it. A lot of times you’ll push a single, but this one it was on-demand.
It was because it was getting played so much they HAD to release it as a single.
So that was actually a real nice feeling.
And every time we would play it live it would really bring the house down.”
Meisner's performance of the song was indeed a huge fan favourite at Eagles concerts…
According to Frey, fans of the band loved Meisner's performance of his signature song, and as Henley puts it: "They went crazy when Randy hit those high notes".
Randy recalled:
“That high note that I sing at the end was tough to do live. It was pretty difficult, it was a challenge every night.
But I pretty much nailed it every night. There weren’t many times I didn’t because we were rehearsed really well.”
Definitely one of my favourite Eagles songs…
