The music changed quite a bit after Leadon left, and in many ways not for the better. Leadon was with Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman (later of the Byrds) in the Flying Burrito Brothers and was a very important driving force of what in my opinion is the most important work musically the Eagles ever did. They had a lot of commercial success after he left, but IMHO little of it was as important.

Wasn’t Leadon dating Patti Davis when he left?
