The Eagles concert at Richmond Coliseum on May 25, 1975 was a stop on the One of These Nights tour. Linda Ronstadt was also a part of this show in Richmond, VA. Just two days earlier, on May 23, Linda and the Eagles were at the Roanoke Civic Center.
A great compliment from the May 27, 1975 article in the Richmond Times Dispatch: “…Paul Craft‘s churning ‘Midnight Flyer’; the author, in the Coliseum audience, is not likely to hear his song done that well again.”

“Speaking of raising ghosts, there is a lot of the old Byrds in the music of the Eagles. Spacious, open-air tunes, harmonies soaring off to the ether, the buzz of electric guitars punctuated by a hard drum, are the marks of both groups.”
“High points were a sizzling ‘Too Many Hands’ and Paul Craft’s churning ‘Midnight Flyer’; the author, in the Coliseum audience, is not likely to hear his song done that well again.”
