Eagles: One of These Nights Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Jeffrey Kauffman June 18, 2026

One of These Nights firmly established the Eagles as one of the preeminent bands of their era, and while there are certainly vestiges of their former more countryfied sound in tunes like Hollywood Waltz, the album also presented an at least intermittently harder edge, albeit one with incredible finesse and fluidity, that presaged a lot of their later work as well. One of These Nights was the first Eagles album to take the Number 1 spot on Billboard's chart, and in fact in terms of their later work, all of their subsequent albums after this one also rose to Number 1. The title tune off of this album got to Number 1 on its chart, and two other singles, Lyin' Eyes and Take It to the Limit, were also substantial hits. This new release from Rhino aggregates the original album with a fun previously unreleased live performance from September 28, 1975 at Anaheim Stadium which features a guest cameo by Joe Walsh (both with Atmos mixes).

The track lists for both the original album and live concert performance can be seen in the screenshots of the disc menu I've uploaded to accompany this review. More information on navigating the menu is available in the video section, below.

This is another Rhino release with a static menu that functions quite a bit like many of their Quadio releases in terms of font changes as you either scroll through tracks or select individual tracks. I've shown several of these changes in the screenshots. While you can navigate down to the audio codecs and switch there, this is commendably one of the times Rhino has authored the disc so that toggling is available via the audio button on your remote, and even better, the song doesn't start over.

Both the original album and the live show feature either Dolby Atmos or DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 options, with mixes credited to Rob Jacobs. There are some manifest differences between the Atmos and stereo iterations on both the album and live show and actually when comparing Atmos to Atmos in particular. The stereo mixes on both the album and live performance are perfectly fine, and the concert in particular offers some fairly wide imaging, but the original album sounds positively muffled in stereo when compared to its Atmos version. There's a really appealing new clarity in the Atmos mix, especially in the midrange, that can reveal all sorts of nuances in the instrumentation. In terms of actual Atmos engagement, I frankly wouldn't rate this Atmos mix as among the most visceral I've experienced, and a lot of the original album sounds pretty anchored toward the front. Many of the songs offer really well detailed prioritization and clearly defined instrumentation, but actual discrete channelization isn't always offered other than, say, rhythm instruments placed largely toward the front with some percussion spill toward the rear. The Atmos mix of the live concert is probably more immediately impressive simply because the arena venue and crowd spill kind of inherently offer good opportunities for more verticality and consistent engagement of the surround channels.

I'm probably cheating a little and counting the Live at Anaheim Stadium as a quasi-supplement, hence my score. This is nicely packaged in a four fold DigiPack which offers three CDs (the album on one and the concert on the other two) and the Blu-ray disc in separate trays. An insert booklet offers photos, including kind of interestingly what has been a staple of Rhino's Quadio releases, pictures of the master tape boxes. The front cover which reproduces the album image features a slightly embossed image.

Eagles: One of These Nights Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation 

One of These Nights seems to finally let the Eagles, well, fly, and they continued to soar for several more Number 1 albums after this one. The three hit singles off of this album are no doubt still well remembered, but the entire track list is full of smart songcraft and some really fluent instrumental accompaniment and layered vocal work. Highly recommended.
