Eagles In Concert 1973 From HIPPODROME lONDON Tracks include Train Leaves Here This Morning Peaceful Easy Feeling Jack Tempchin wrote the song during a period in which he was performing at folk coffee shops around his hometown of San Diego. A friend had created a poster to advertise his performances, which included fake quotes from famous individuals attesting to Tempchin's talent, which landed in the hands of a shop owner in nearby El Centro. Tempchin slept on the floor of the club the night of his show, and wrote an early version of "Peaceful Easy Feeling" on the back of the poster.[3] Back in San Diego, Tempchin was rooming in a communal-type home with other musicians when inspiration for completing the song hit.
