After a couple days of this--I just wanted to come back on and say how much I LOVE this feature!! It's bringing back some wonderful memories -like today's -NKIT--LOVED that song when it first came out! Was disappointed yesterday when there was nothing. With a career like our guys-I doubt there will be to many days like that!

Thanks again Soda for getting this up and going. :thumbsup:

Since the link to the article seems to be broken, I thought I'd go ahead and post it here. You can also click on the event to open the blog. The link will work from there. Soda will have to fix the link later.

Oh man - am I depressed! I just saw the notation in today in Eagles history that the Eagles played the Richmond Coliseum on this date in 1977 for the Hotel California tour. I remember this being as it's my hometown, but I didn't have the money to go. Rats - talk about missed opportunities. Who'd know I would have to wait for 26 years to see them!!!! :ack:

Actually, I missed seeing the entry about Tim stealing keys, but I can tell you, there is much evidence to support this. :wink: In the Eagles display at the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame, there is a very large duffel bag full of hotel room keys that Tim "acquired" over his years of traveling with the band.

I can only imagine the size of the check they each have to write the IRS. They are in the "Rich Folks the Government Can Justify Taxing Very Heavily Because Average American Voters Resent Their Massive Wealth and Therefore Won't Think It's Unfair" tax bracket. I bet one year's taxes for them is more money than I'll ever see in my lifetime!

TimothyBFan

:hilarious: Soda--your comment just cracked me up. Good way of explaining it! I am one of those that believes everyone should be taxed the same % (ex: say 17% of your income, whether you make $40,000.00 a year or $2,575,095.00 a year). But I also believe there are a lot of professions that are EXTREMELY over paid, athletes, entertainers etc.... but Lord knows I have contributed to their wealth on many occasions! It says a lot for our society when someone can make millions playing a game but a doctor who saves lives on a daily basis makes a small percent of what that athlete does. JMHO!!! Don't mean to offend anyone!

To be perfectly honest, I think the money most entertainers/pro athletes make is ridiculous... so nope, I don't mind that they are taxed more at all. Sorry, this is always a sore spot w/me. Most of those people love what they do and make millions... the rest of us work our butt's off just to survive week to week. Heck, I'd be happy if made the amout they all owe to the government! =)

OFF TOPIC...I think the difference, at least for me, is that for a lot of it, it is WE the fans who pay these entertainers...it's because WE want the music, the concerts, the whatevers, right? :shrug: - so their being rich or mega rich doesn't really bother me...whereas in other areas, sports - for instance - its the franchises that decide...now, I will :ziplip: on the subject...lol...

OMG---I just checked the history and boy is it all coming back to me with this one. This is THE concert at the Joyce ACC at Notre Dame that I HAD a ticket for when I was 11 (2 months away from being 12) that my Mom & Dad wouldn't let me go to because I was to young!!!!! Most of you here have heard that story before (SORRY about that!!) but for you others this is a very touchy subject for me. :hilarious: I can laugh now but in 1974 it was anything but funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What I laugh about even more is the fact that 6 months later I was allowed to go to an Aerosmith and AC/DC concert! Like I said before, my parents were obviously CLUELESS!!! I remember the phone call to my cousin telling her I couldn't go. I was ready to run away from home!

Nancy- I bet you knew I'd be all over this one didn't you! :hilarious:

And here's where it all began ...

Just wanted to acknowledge that today is truly a momentous day in Eagles' history - May 1, 1972 was the day that Take It Easy was released as the bands' first single.

Wow - hard to believe that song is 37 years old and I still love it as much now as I did in the summer of '72.

Brooke
05-01-2009, 02:57 PM
Oh wow! My all time favorite Eagles song!

Man, 37 years old and it still makes me feel good and brings a smile every time I hear it! :inlove:

sodascouts
05-01-2009, 04:37 PM
Yep. This was even before the Eagles LP was released. It was truly the first time they were "out there" for the listening public. And look at 'em now!

Glennsallnighter
05-01-2009, 04:42 PM
Summer 1972 I was busy starting school! Lol! But still Its hard to believe TIE is now 0fficially 37. Its still a great song and my heart always skips a beat when it comes on. I love when Glenn :heart: calls 'All Right' and smiles when performing it live.

CONGRATULATIONS TIE

Another event happened today that was pretty monumental - it was up earlier. On this day in 1990, Glenn, Don, and Timothy got together to perform at a Walden benefit. It was the first time they had performed together since the Long Beach concert in 1980. At the time, reunion talks were rampant, but as we know it would take a few more years for that to materialize.

A couple photos:

But it was never released officially on DVD. All DVDs that exist of it have been transferred from the old video. I never looked for it on Amazon for that reason.

I got my copy from a friend and I'll say its one of the best I've ever seen. I know that the video still comes up new on eBay every so often. Its a great watch. My favourite track on it is 'Partytown'

And it was great to see that on 'Today in Eagles History' their concert in Lansdowne Road in 2006 is documented. Thanks Soda!

That was the first Eagles concert I ever attended and I can still remember like it was yesterday. The band came out, and went straight into TIE. I took ONE look at a certain fuschia shirted Glenn :heart: Frey and I was in love :inlove: and still am!!

Depressing indeed, FP. Shoot the manufacturers!:machinegun::wink:

A friend made a copy of Live In Dublin for me, too, and I've lost count as to how many times I've watched it. Glenn :heart: looks fresh-faced and fit, looks nowhere near his 42 years of age (which he was at the time), is dynamic and has the crowd eating out of his hands. Wonderful.

sodascouts
07-12-2009, 10:02 PM
Do we know anything else about the show? Set list?

Some extra info about this show:

It was a Linda Ronstadt show, and the four guys were backing her. All of the soon-to-be Eagles were in her backup band at one time or another, but not all four at the same time.... until this show in Disneyland.

Don and Glenn had been playing together in her backing band for several months - heck, Glenn had recruited Don for it. Randy had backed her for a time, but was working with Rick Nelson's backing band. Bernie Leadon had backed her too at one time, but had joined the Flying Burrito Brothers.

Glenn and Don had been talking about forming their own band, but didn't know who else they wanted in it yet. Ronstadt's manager John Boylan essentially told them, "You guys need a bass player and another guitar player/multi-instrumentalist who can take on the more challenging lead parts - no offense Glenn - and I know two guys who used to back Linda who'd be perfect. Not only can they play, but they can sing and write songs too - and they aren't too hard to look at!"

Meanwhile, Randy's gig with Nelson had ended. Despairing of his ability to support his family on a struggling musician's salary, Randy had returned to Nebraska and gotten a job working at a John Deere dealership (no joke). Bernie was dissatisfied with what he considered a diminishing role in the Flying Burrito Brothers. They both figured it was worth a shot to back Ronstadt once again and see if they clicked with Don and Glenn.

And "click" they did. The rock'n'roll world would never be the same!

While I don't know the setlist, Ronstadt has said that she did allow them to play a couple of their own songs. One of these is on her "Capitol Years" collection. It's a song by Glenn called "Get Up Kate." If you want to hear a shoddy-quality version the Eagles played on their first tour, you can listen to it here (http://www.glennfreyonline.com/multimedia/MP3/GetUpKateOKC72.mp3). On the "Capitol Years" CD, you can also hear Glenn backing Ronstadt on the song "Rescue Me."

Edited to add: I believe the four guys backed Rondstadt on the song "Silver Threads and Golden Needles" which was re-created for a 1974 special:

I love the stories about "how it all started". As Glenn and Don have often said, we owe a debt of gratitude to Linda Ronstadt and John Boylan. Instead of being upset and angry because the guys wanted to start their own band, they actually assisted the guys in forming the Eagles. Little did any of them know at the time what was to come.

And OBTW - Get Up Kate brings a smile to my face everytime I hear it - such a raw, crude glimpse of what would come to be!

Well - up until today, I used to consider this the single saddest day in Eagles history because it was this day in 1980 that the band played their last show together for a VERY LONG TIME. Even though it was two years before the breakup was officially announced, the "Long Night at Wrong Beach" concert was what many believed would be the last Eagles concert ever! Thankfully, of course, that turned out not to be the case, but we fans sure did have to sweat it for a long, long time.

But now, with the launching of the Eagles Radio Network today, there is some happy news to report. Hopefully, it will be a big success for many years to come.

07-31-2009, 02:02 PM
I was just reading about this in Felder's book again!

I had forgotten that actually, he was the reason for the break up back then, and then, evidently, managed to get himself fired years later for asking too many questions about money! :brickwall:

At least the whole band didn't break up again!

https://www.eaglesonlinecentral.com/downloads/multimediafeaturedshow.htm

The noise drop outs between songs are where the sound technicians attempted to turn off the mics when Felder and Frey were threatening each other. So we've been denied the privilege of hearing:

"Three more songs 'til I kick your ass!"

"Great! I can't wait!"

Interesting that both Glenn and Felder claim that the OTHER guy was making the "kick your ass" threat - though they agree on the wording!

Well, when I look at this, all of the guys seem pretty disinterested and pissed, but Glenn and Felder do look especially pisssed.

I'm not sure whether the picture was taken before or after the diss either. Neither the account in Take It To the Limit or Felder's book really helps shed any light on it. However, as we have previously discussed on the board, Felder's account doesn't quite "jive". He writes ...


"Glenn knew I wasn't comfortable with a rock-and-roll band doing a show for politicians. His hostility was compounded when Mrs. Cranston walked up to me backstage to say hello just before we went onstage.

"Hello," I replied. "Nice to meet you ...." As she walked away, I added, under my breath, "I guess."

Glenn, standing next to me, heard this and viewed my comment as an intentional slap in the face for the Cranstons, but he was wrong. I truly had no idea who they were, nor did I care, for that matter." ...As this picture indicates, he, obviously, had met them prior to just going on stage.

But there had been a press conference at which Felder was specifically asked how he felt about doing the benefit, and he said he didn't care, which made Glenn furious (this is according to Marc Eliot). Whether he cared or whether or not he had met the Cranstons it appears that he was very rude to them.

GlennLover
08-06-2009, 07:10 PM
Did anyone ever notice that Glenn changed the words in a couple of places in the live performance? For example, instead of singing " Headed for Oklahoma, I was ridin' night and day", he sings " Headed for Oklahoma, In a 56 Chevrolet". I wondered why every time that I listened to the album I wanted to sing "56 Chevrolet" there. I even went back & listened to the song again one time to see if he sang the words later in the song. I thought I was going crazy! At one point I did watch the video quite a bit so that is where I picked up the "56 Chevrolet" line. Now watching the video again I discovered that I wasn't crazy afterall :hilarious:! What I relief!

Freypower
08-06-2009, 07:15 PM
And the other notable change, instead of 'some say there's a Jesus/some that say there ain't' is 'some men pray to Jesus/ask him please relieve my pain' (sic). I knew about that because the old tape I have of the song in Australia at the start of 1976 includes those changes.

GlennLover
08-06-2009, 07:20 PM
Yes, FP. That's the other change I was referring to. I can't decide which version I like better, but I do think I prefer the "56 Chevrolet" line. Do you know which way it was written originally?

sodascouts
08-06-2009, 07:23 PM
I like the change in those lyrics better than the original ones. The "relieve my pain" lyrics definitely convey more of a sense of desperation and despair than the original "some say there is / some say there ain't / when you got no life to lose then there's nothing left to gain." The original lyrics seem to be saying "I don't care anymore - I've given up." The changed ones seem to be saying "I still care and it's torturing me." That adds a deeper shading to the song, which in this version ends with an anguished "It only looks like rain, it only looks like rain."

I noticed on the Today in Eagles History calendar that in 1965 Timothy was attacked by a female fan hired by his manager while he was in The New Breed. I thought that was hilarious. I have never heard this one before, but I take it that his band must have been struggling a bit if the manager had to recruit females to attack the members. :lol:

I think that did it for me too. Although I had always heard of Don & Glenn, I didn't know what Glenn looked like until HFO. Boy did I get a "nice" surprise :fainted:! I had seen Don before on an interview about Walden Woods. My husband had purchased HFO a couple of years after it came out & it was always our favourite video. I had always loved their music.

Wow, 15 years ago today Hell Freezes Over was first aired on MTV.

It introduced me to the Eagles in the sense that it made me realize both Glenn Frey and Don Henley were in the group, and that they did several songs I'd heard on the radio but hadn't known who recorded them.

Anyone else have some "Hell Freezes Over" memories?

Ive always been a dreamer
10-26-2009, 12:27 PM
Of course, I do! :wink:

Unfortunately, most of the memories of HFO that stick with me aren't good ones except for my obvious delight that the band was getting back together finally. At the time of the 'resumption', everyone was thinking that it wasn't going to be a permanent thing. The thinking was that the band would get together and play a series of shows, and then that would be it. Obviously, the tickets were in very high demand, and very expensive. I'm not positive, but I think it was the first time any act had ever charged over $100 for a concert ticket. But they could, and they did. During this time, I was traveling fulltime in my job, but I wanted very badly to go to one of the shows (especially since I had never been able to afford to go to a show in the '70's). I tried very hard to synch up my travel schedule with a show, but it never happened. Even after the tour was postponed because of Glenn's health issues, I still couldn't manage to work it out. I was very disappointed, and, to this day, I have still not been able to "get over it". I will always regret not making one of those shows because I think this was the band at its absolute peak. After the band 'laid low' in the late '90's, I just figured I'd never get to see them until one fateful day in 2003 when I heard on tv that the Eagles were going to resume touring and would kickoff the tour in none other than my hometown - Richmond, VA. So as the old saying goes ... 'the rest is history'. :thumbsup:

Awwwwwww Hell Freezes Over, my first real encounter with the Eagles, how could I forget that!
It was just an accident that I saw the concert at that time,
of course I knew songs like Hotel California, Take It Easy and Tequila Sunrise but
when I heard all the other great songs like I Can´t Tell You Why, Get Over It or Life In The Fast Lane I was totally enthused!
and so began my passion for the Eagles with HFO!

I remember it, too. My brother, who just lived down the road and was also a fan, happened to see something about them on MTV and called us to come over and watch. (We didn't have cable or satellite being poor and living in the boonies!) We dropped everything and rushed over and it was so cool to see them performing again. I'll always remember it as being different than what I have on dvd though. From what I remember, they were seated on the edge of a roundish stage with the crowd close by and it was a more quiet setting. Maybe I have this confused with another show? Or could we have seen the 'second night'? Anyway, we didn't know that they actually toured after that, but couldn't have afforded to go anyway. (2 very busy teenagers at home!) Then a few years later we were discussing them and hoped that they would tour again and we would somehow, someway try to go. We even thought if it cost as much as $200 per ticket for a really good seat, we would try to make it! :laugh: Well, thanks to those teenagers needing (?) the internet, I actually tried it out and searched for info on them and lo and behold, we got our chance in 2002 in Ames, Iowa, and it was fabulous!

And then my obsession was rekindled, which eventually led me here! :yay:

My husband, Harold bought the CD of HFO when it came out, but it was defective & he returned it. He said that he didn't care for it. He had only listened once :eyebrow: & as Don says, most people don't like a record the 1st time they hear it. I was always more of an Eagles fan than Harold. Anyway, he didn't get another copy to replace the defective one & it was a couple of years later (I think) that he bought the DVD. Don & Glenn were the only 2 Eagles that I knew by name. I didn't know the history of the personnel changes. I had seen Don on a Walden Woods intereview so I recognized him, but I didn't know which one was Glenn Frey. I soon figured it out by the songs that he sang! I remember thinking that he was gorgeous :nahnah:. HFO became our favourite music DVD. Harold has a habit of switching TVs & components between our living room & the family room :-x. When he wants to check his connections he always puts on HFO & we usually end up watching the entire show! HFO kindled my interest in learning more about the guys but it was F1 that put me over the edge with Glenn. I don't know what took me so long! :brickwall:

Oh, I have to admit I didn't know what any of the guys looked like - I had seen the old videos from the eighties but I didn't know how they'd aged. I took one look at Glenn Frey and said "Wow - the 'You Belong to the City' guy looks HOT. How old is he again??" He looked even better than I remembered from his mid-80s videos. I was just starting college at the time and so of course I tended to zero in on such things. Never would do that now. ;)

(Not that the other guys didn't look good too - it's just he struck me as the most handsome.)

Anyone want to do an impromptu viewing party of HFO at 8:00 Eastern?

Freypower
10-26-2009, 07:42 PM
I don't have that many memories of watching it. I said something on my 30th anniversary that I mainly watched it to see that Glenn was still 'in charge', which he was. It was a 'reaffirmation' for me in that sense, but I remain very disappointed by the distribution of lead vocals in that show, and the huge number of slow ballads. When I saw the band on the HFO tour at the end of 1995, the show was far more indicative of what the band was like then. That is why in many regards I prefer to watch Christchurch over HFO.

So it's different for me - not the jaw-dropping revelation that it was for many people. I understand the excitement about it for them but I can't feel quite that way about it.

10-26-2009, 09:02 PM
At the risk of repeating myself. I remember exactly when I first saw HFO. We had 2 very young kids at the time and real life had gotten in the way abit of my Eagles obsession from my teen years. We were home one evening just watching tv after kids were in bed and hubby was flipping channels and on PBS they were playing HFO. I sat straight up off the couch and screamed for him to stop flipping channels and we watched it. I remember how excited I was to see them together again and on stage. I also vividly remember my reaction when I saw Tim again in that vest and long white shirt and skinny jeans, hair so long and straight :drool:. Larry really enjoyed it also, he knew how much I loved the Eagles but I'm pretty sure that he now despises the night he ran across that PBS channel and HFO. :hilarious: Within 2 days I was at Best Buy buying the VHS and CD and later the DVD.

Well I noticed that earlier today, there was an entry on the calendar commemorating the 2nd anniversary of the Eagles very first appearance ever on any type of awards show - the CMAs. It was a special day both in the bands history and for me personally because Soda, DonFan, and I were all there to see live! We had a great time at the show, especially when we could see the band on stage setting up before they actually performed. If anyone is interested in reading more, here is the thread about it ...

Thriller hasn't officially passed the Eagles because the RIAA hasn't updated its rankings yet, but in practical terms it has. I read that Thriller was only a million units behind and that in the weeks after his death, twice that were shipped.

Here's a quote from USA Today (http://www.usatoday.com/life/music/news/2009-07-22-jackson-vs-eagles_N.htm):


The [RIAA] measures sales based on shipments of albums. Thriller stands at 28 million, the Eagles at 29 million. Since Jackson's death June 25, Thriller has sold 666,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Surpassing the Eagles is "inevitable," says Keith Caulfield, Billboard's senior chart manager. "You figure a million units were just shipped. Add another million in the pipeline in the next month, and he could overtake the Eagles before the end of the year.

"I think his album sales will stay substantial for quite a while. This kind of sales impact in the wake of an artist passing is unprecedented. Only Michael could make this happen."

Jackson has dominated record sales for the past month. In the week ending Sunday, he sold a combined 674,000 albums, more than any other artist, for a total of 3 million since his death. Fans downloaded 684,000 tracks, 7 million since he died.

"Only Michael could make this happen"? That guy makes Jackson's death sound like an achievement!

It's a syndicated publicity stunt! Michael's not really dead. Right now he's on some unchartered island rubbing his hands together and saying, "By the end of the year I will have surpassed the Eagles in album sales...M-U-H-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A!!!!!!!"

We talked about this earlier, and I was sure Thriller would surpass the Eagles: Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975 with Jackson's death, but I was wrong. As of now, they're currently tied. According to the RIAA (http://riaa.com/newsitem.php?id=FD806C33-C1B0-8791-1B3A-5CA13B538575), which published its updated numbers about a week ago:


Michael Jackson’s legendary album Thriller (Epic/Legacy, 1982) has now climbed to 29x Platinum to tie the Eagles’ Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975) as the highest certified album in RIAA Gold & Platinum history. This extraordinary achievement by the King of Pop is a testament to his enduring legacy and the unequivocal imprint he has made on the world of music.

30 years ago today, the Eagles played their last concert until that fateful night in 1994 when "Hell Froze Over"! You can hear the concert here (https://www.eaglesonlinecentral.com/downloads/multimediafeaturedshow.htm), but the sound drops out between songs because apparently the sound guys were instructed to not let the audience hear the insults being tossed around every time a song ended.

Someone did a song countdown - "Four songs until I kick your ass"... then "Three songs until I kick your ass..." then "Two songs until I kick your ass..." etc. as the concert progressed with the other guy responding "Yeah! I can't wait!" Both Glenn and Felder claim it was the other guy who was the aggressor doing the countdown. I find the macho posturing hilarious either way, even though it was a sad day for Eagles fans who would miss hearing their favorite band for quite a while.

Yep - probably up to now the single saddest day in Eagles history. Of course, at the time no one knew it was the end. As a matter of fact, the band's breakup wasn't officially announced for two more years. I remember being very devastated at the announcement, although not surprised. I really didn't think they'd ever get back together. That's one time that I can say I am VERY glad I was wrong!

And on a lighter note, it was one year ago today that the Eagles online radio channel was launched. Happy birthday, Eagles Radio!

I learn so much just by being on this board! I wasn't familiar with the "ass-kickin' coutdown"!

I remember reading about the ass kicking countdown. What I always wondered was what the other guys were thinking while it was all going down. Was Timothy just thinking, get me the hell away from these lunatics, was Don H. thinking, I sure hope Glenn kicks his ass? Was Joe even aware enough to know anything was going on? :hmm: :lol: It would be interesting to know. Another reason we need book(s) boys!!!

Yeah, Willie, and the guys are probably thinking, "why would anybody care?!" :lol:

So looking at the calendar today, I see that at this point in 1971 the guys were heading to Aspen to do their first paid gigs as a band. This is when Glyn Johns heard them play and thought they were awful. My, how things have changed! And Glenn will be back in Aspen in just a few weeks, with Mr. Joe Walsh! ;)

Regarding 'The Long Night At Wrong Beach', apparently the other guys just hopped in the limo straight after the concert and left the place. They didn't want to be a part of it. Can't say I blame them!

The whole "Three songs till I kick your ass" thing cracks me up though. I'm sure it wasn't as funny at the time.

Even though the day is almost over, I think it is worth mentioning that it was 4 years ago today in 2006 that the Farewell I television broadcast won an Emmy award for outstanding sound mixing!

Congratulations Farewell I!!!

I didn't get a chance to post yesterday, so I'm a day late on this. Yesterday was the 25th anniversary of Don and Glenn winning their MTV Music Awards in 1985 for The Boys of Summer and Smuggler's Blues. I wanted to mention this especially since we were just discussing this in another thread recently. I am going to repost what Soda put up last year for this because these clips are very entertaining, and definitely worth watching if you've never seen them.

Thanks for those, dreamer! I hadn't watched them lately! Glenn and Don look quite fetching in them! :nod:

Today in Eagles history, "Don Henley sued by fan claiming he threw a maraca at her." This caught my attention. Does anyone know what happened? I had never heard about this before.

Wow, I'd forgotten about that! I had to laugh when I read the lengthy list of "mental reactions" caused by the apparent incident, though...
