I was surprised a few years ago to find out that the band considered their name to be "Eagles" not "THE Eagles".

I only saw them once but it was the original lineup with Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner. Don Felder wasn't a member of the band yet but he was called up on stage and player a few number with them. Felder was playing with the opening act and for the life of me I can't remember who that was.
