From One of These Nights (1975). One of These Nights is the fourth studio album by the American rock band the Eagles, released on June 10, 1975, by Asylum Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Mesa Boogie Mark I Reissue, the rig we use for Eagles' other songs from One of These Nights, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.
