According to band member Don Felder, when the Eagles first began playing stadiums the group would warm up pre-concert by singing "Seven Bridges Road" in a locker room shower area. After, each concert would then open with the group's five members singing "Seven Bridges Road" a capella into a single microphone. Felder recalls that it "blew [the audience] away. It was always a vocally unifying moment, all five voices coming together in harmony."</span></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>"Seven Bridges Road" was ultimately included on Ricochet's 2000 album release, What You Leave Behind, with the track serving as B-side of that album's first single "<span style="color: rgb(32, 33, 34);">Do I Love You Enough.</span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Bridges_Road#cite_note-whitburn-17" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(32, 33, 34);"><sup>[17]</sup></a><span style="color: rgb(32, 33, 34);">&nbsp;Seven Bridges Road is performed live by Ricochet on the band's 2004 concert album&nbsp;</span><em style="color: rgb(32, 33, 34);">The Live Album</em><span style="color: rgb(32, 33, 34);">.</span></p><p><br></p><p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/5QCoiNWl.jpg"></p>
