The Eagles - The Long Run album cover
 The Long Run is the sixth studio album by Eagles, released in 1979.

The album was originally intended to be a double album to be released in 1978 but was instead demoted to a single album. Some of the tracks that were left off the album would be cobbled together to compose the cut "Long Run Leftovers" which appeared on the band's 2000 box set Selected Works 1972-1999. Some of the bits in "Long Run Leftovers" were resurrected by Joe Walsh on "Rivers (Of the Hidden Funk)" from 1981's There Goes the Neighborhood and "Told You So" on 1983's You Bought It, You Name It.

Also, the band recorded a Christmas single during the sessions. First of which was a cover of the old Charles Brown Christmas number "Please Come Home For Christmas" which was released as a single in November of 1978. The song's B-side was a Don Henley and Glenn Frey original called "Funky New Year" which was the band's song about the pitfalls of celebrating New Years.

The Long Run took almost two years to complete and saw The Eagles move in a more hard rock direction that they started going in with its predecessor, 1976's Hotel California.

When released in September of 1979, The Long Run debuted at #2 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart and a week later hit #1 dethroning Led Zeppelin's In Through the Out Door and was the last #1 album of the 1970s where it reigned for eight weeks.

The album spawned three Top 10 singles, the chart-topping rocker "Heartache Tonight", the album's opening title cut and the ballad "I Can't Tell You Why". Also, the track "In the City" was first recorded by guitarist Walsh for the soundtrack to the movie The Warriors. "Those Shoes" received radio airplay, as well.
