The Eagles are marking the 50th anniversary of their classic album One of These Nights with a newly expanded deluxe edition that will arrive May 1. The release celebrates one of the band’s biggest milestones and includes newly remastered versions of the original record along with immersive Dolby Atmos and high-resolution mixes.
A major highlight of the package is a previously unreleased live recording from a 1975 concert at Anaheim Stadium. The 16-song performance captures the band near the end of its One of These Nights tour and features the lineup of Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Randy Meisner, Bernie Leadon and Don Felder.
The concert also documents a key moment in the band’s history. It marks the final Eagles performance for founding member Bernie Leadon during the group’s classic era. Future member Joe Walsh also appears during the encore, joining the band for a performance of his song “Rocky Mountain Way.”
The deluxe project will be available as both a 3-CD/Blu-ray set and a 3-LP vinyl collection. Along with the original album, fans will hear live performances of several Eagles hits and a newly released recording of Chuck Berry’s “Carol,” captured during the Anaheim show.
Released in June 1975, One of These Nights was a turning point for the Eagles. The album topped the Billboard chart and produced several major hits, including “Lyin’ Eyes,” “Take It to the Limit” and the title track. It also followed the band’s first No. 1 single, “Best of My Love,” which helped propel the group into mainstream success.
The era also marked a shift in the Eagles’ musical direction. With Don Felder joining the band, the group leaned further into a harder rock sound while maintaining its country-rock roots.
The Eagles are currently continuing their residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas and are scheduled to appear at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival later this year alongside artists including Stevie Nicks, Rod Stewart and David Byrne.
Don Henley recently suggested that the band may not be touring much longer, hinting that 2026 could potentially mark the final year the Eagles perform live.
