The Wembley Mid-Summer Music Concert in London included the Eagles, Elton John, The Beach Boys, Joe Walsh, Rufus, & Stackridge. The One Of These Nights album had just been released a few days earlier. At the end of this page is the video for the Wembley TV commercial.
“Next, even better, came the Eagles, the epitome of easy-listening, quality country rock. Again, they played to a formula, and within certain safe perimeters, but with chugging rhythms and fine harmonies they were perfect at what they did.”
The Guardian – June 23, 1975
The Eagles were also at Wembley Stadium for four nights in 1977, April 25-28.

“The first LP, titled simply, ‘Eagles’, took off immediately via a great debut hit single, ‘Take It Easy’. Ironically, in Britain, where the album was made, the song was merely an underground classic. But when the Eagles opened with it at Wembley this year, there was a huge roar.”
