randy meisner
"take it to the limit" is unique in the canon of the band's singles, being the sole a-side on which randy meisner sang lead, as well as the first a-side eagles single on which neither henley nor frey sang lead. it was also the last eagles single to feature founding member bernie leadon before he was replaced by guitarist joe walsh. the single version of the song is 3:48 in length, almost a minute shorter than the album version. "take it to the limit" is one of few eagles' tracks written in waltz time. (other notable waltzes performed by the eagles are "hollywood waltz"; the meisner/henley/frey waltz "saturday night" (co-written with leadon) from the 1973 "desperado" album; frey's "most of us are sad" from their self-titled debut album; frey/henley/jd souther's hard-rocking "teenage jail" from 1979's "the long run" album; and walsh's "pretty maids all in a row" on the 1976 album "hotel california".)
