Covers of Eagles Songs

[EasyFeeling]

This is incredible. :shock: I just found a review of a Keith concert and I couldn't believe it. I post the whole article here.
Oh, I would have loved to hear that. :D

From The Post-Standard
Country music, Aussie style

It pays to bring a homemade poster sign to a Keith Urban concert. And to sit front and center, too.

Friday night at the state fair grandstand, the country music star heck, with his marriage to actress Nicole Kidman, he's crossed over into pop stardom made two sisters from "outside of Albany" quite happy when he spied their sign.

"2 sisters, 2 wishes, 2 kisses!" he proclaimed to the happy crowd. "Well, come on up. I'm not going to miss this opportunity."
So up to the stage went Sharon and Claudia, telling all where they came from (and more than that in Claudia's case, as she explained about a recent joint replacement surgery to her thumb, earning raised eyebrows from Urban). They both got their kisses as the crowd howled.
Urban was a great singer and fantastic guitar player. But most important, he was a tremendous entertainer. After bussing the two siblings, he jumped down in front of the stage. Then he climbed over the rail and strolled through the center aisle of the crowd, chuckling as he sang and withstanding the tremendous crush of those who strained for one slight touch with fame.
But it was more than those couple hundred upfront who fell to Urban's obvious charm. By the end of the night, everybody was singing in the rain as Urban and his very fine five-piece band went through a repertoire of songs that regularly make country radio rotation.
Yes, life is very good for the Australian native, and his sweet songs reflect his satisfaction. "Days Go By" and "Raining on Sunday" got everybody into the spirit. Urban had his own description for the drops falling from the sky.
"It's a baptism," he said.
"You Look Good in My Shirt," "Jeans On," "But for the Grace of God" and an honorable cover of The Eagles' "Take It to the Limit" earned choruses from the crowd.
For a special party mood, he encored first with "I Just Want to Cry" and then the Steve Miller Band's epic, "The Joker," allowing his band mates to take turns with the vocals, too.
By the time Urban closed with "Somebody Like You," everybody felt special.

[Brooke]

Cool! I would love to see Keith in concert, too. He's just too cute for words! Hope he gets out of rehab soon.

And maybe we should have a pic of him to feast our eyes on? This is my favorite:

This is his newest look:

:smokin:

You all know I'm a "hair" gal. It's darker underneath now and very streaked.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Wow EF - You must be in 7th heaven. Keith singing Eagles songs - it just doesn't get any better, does it? :D

[Maleah]

I may not have seen the Eagles yet, but I HAVE seen Keith live and he is amazing! I can't wait until he comes around again!! :D

[EasyFeeling]

Me too, Maleah. :D

No Dreamer, it doesn't get any better. Keith singing TITLL :shock: Unbelievable!

Oh Brooke, these pictures are killing me. :D May I add some? :wink:

[Brooke]

Yikes! :D

[Z]

Wow, ladies! Those are very nice! I do so love pictures taken from alternative angles. :twisted:

[sodascouts]

Interesting choices, there. ;)

[Freypower]

I'm Australian and I have never heard one song by Keith Urban.

[EasyFeeling]

:shock: :shock: Do you want me to send you some?

[Brooke]

Julie, you really need to check him out. Besides being very easy on the eyes he's a great singer and awesome guitar player! :D

[EasyFeeling]

That's true, Brooke. Yesterday we watched the DVD while having dinner. My brother saw him the first time and he was thrilled by his guitar playing.

[sodascouts]

On a related note, I've always liked Travis Tritt's cover of Take It Easy - and the video isn't bad either! ;)

[EasyFeeling]

Oh yes, I like his version too and I especially love that video. :wink:

[Z]

The Tritt TIE video is -- as Molly would say -- OUTSTANDING!

[Maleah]

As horrible as this sound for an Eagles fan........I actually like Travis Tritt's version of "Take It Easy" the best. Before you think horribly of me ;), it was the first version I heard so now when I hear it.....I hear it his way. lol If that makes sense. .... :roll:

[sodascouts]

It makes sense... in a very sick way! lol

[glenneaglesfan]

Ah, the Travis Tritt video.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Glenneaglesfan/TrittTIE9.jpg
(Thanks, FP!)

[Maleah]

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Ah yes.......THE video :wink:

I know soda, I know...........it's VERY strange :D

[sodascouts]

Our guys have some nice butts, don't they? lol

[timfan]

Our guys have some nice butts! lol

they sure do!! :D :P :D

[EasyFeeling]

Especially the guy on the left. 8)

[Maleah]

Especially the guy on the left. 8)

yes, he is definently impressive! But I also see a nice one further down :wink:

[Z]

All I see is some cop's butt blocking my view....although that one on the left................hmmmmmm

[Brooke]

Btw, EF, it looks like Keith Urban is out and about again! Hope he can handle it. Read about it here:

I believe it was the re-uniting of the band for the video,that started the idea of them getting back together. 8)

[Randy's Girl]

I liked Travis Tritt's version too, and I like the video (for the same reasons listed above :wink: ).

[EasyFeeling]

Thanks for the link, Brooke. I also have heard he is out of rehab but still in therapy. And I have read about the rumor he had an affair with a lingerie model the last two years, during his relationship with NK. As much as I love him he seems to be a bad boy. :wink:

[Brooke]

Wow, I hadn't heard that, EF! But you know, we all love bad boys! :wink:

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I love the Travis Tritt TIE video for obvious reasons, but there is no way I like his cover better than the Eagles version. That was their very first hit, and I have very fond, vivid memories of that song during the summer of '72.

And EF - just wanted you to know that I stopped by Keith's house when I was in Nashville, but he wasn't home! :shock: :wink:

[EasyFeeling]

Oh really, Dreamer? :shock: Did you take a photo of his house? :twisted:
Yes, I've read on the net Keith spent Christmas holidays in Australia. FP, have you seen him? :wink:

[Freypower]

Keith and Nicole displayed a great show of unity here in Sydney over Christmas. But EF, how do I break it to you? I have never heard one of his songs and I don't have the slightest interest in him. I don't find him remotely attractive and I am also not a fan of his wife. Sorry. :? So, er, no, I haven't seen him and I didn't go looking. The city has been inundated with the fragrant Paris Hilton, anyway.

[Maleah]

The city has been inundated with the fragrant Paris Hilton, anyway.


ugh :?

Paris Hilton? :shock:
FP, I didn't know you don't care for Keith and his music. I love him but forgot not everyone likes him. :wink:

[Ive always been a dreamer]

EF - I didn't have a camera with me when I passed by Keith's house this year. However, I may actually have some pictures of the house from last year. I'll check when I get a chance, and post a picture if I have one. I have to admit, I'm really not much of a country music fan. I had never even heard of Keith until he started dating Nicole. However, when we were in Nashville last year, my 16 year-old niece was with us, and she definately knew about him. She went wild when we passed his house. She was prepared to search the entire city looking for him. Me, on the other hand, was thinking "Good grief - what's all the fuss about - you'd think he was Glenn Frey!"
:wink: :shock:

[EasyFeeling]

I had never heard of him either till my US aunt brought me the live DVD last year. I must admit I ignored the DVD for at least 3 weeks and one day I was boring and thought ok, I want to have a look now. And what can I say? I fell in love with him from the first song.
Apart from his first albums his music has nothing to do with country. Not anymore. You can hear a banjo now and then but that's all.
Your niece is a girl to my liking. :D
Looking forward to the photos. :wink:

[Freypower]

Everyone has different tastes. I might like Keith Urban if I heard him but that isn't the sort of music that does anything for me, that's all. I got as far as Hank Williams and Johnny Cash and that was about it. It isn't that I don't 'like' him, I'm just indifferent to him.

[Maleah]

Trust me......Keith is so far from Johnny Cash and Hank Williams that it's not even funny. :D Their styles are not even SOMEWHAT similar. Most people think of country and think of the "twang" that came with singers like Hank, George Jones, and Merle Haggard.......but to be honest, modern day country is more comparable to the Eagles, imo.

[sodascouts]

I see your point, Maleah. Maybe I'll hop on to Amazon and listen to a few clips.

[Maleah]

sounds good soda :D The best part about Keith....to REALLY get the Keith experience....is to see him live, or at LEAST see him on dvd or on tv because his guitar playing is smokin'!

[EasyFeeling]

You're absolutely right, Maleah. Listen to his music is great, but to see him performing live is mind blowing. The DVD is highly recommended. If anyone wants me to email some songs from the DVD, feel free to ask me.

[Brooke]

You are absolutely right about Keith, Maleah. I haven't seen him live or even on dvd, but I've seen his videos and on the CMA's, etc, and he is awesome. Looks, guitar playing, singing......<swoon>. He's much more rock & roll than country.

My favorite songs are the oldie By the Grace of God and the more recent Raining on Sunday. The latter has smokin guitar work!

Yeah, I love him!

After Glenn and Don, of course! :wink:

[EasyFeeling]

Ah, another Keith fan. :wink: I guess I have already said it but I'm not sure. Maybe it was on another board. As for me Glenn and Keith range on the same level. 8)
Brooke, I love But For The Grace Of God. :D Have you ever heard his live version just with an acoustic guitar? Wow, I can tell you it's brilliant.
I can't think of a favourite song but when I had to choose 5 I would say:

Days Go By
You're My Better Half
You Look Good In My Shirt
Who Wouldn't Wanna Be Me
Somebody Like You
She's Gotta Be
Faster Car
Tu Compania

8... sorry, can't stop. :blush:

I was bored and looked for a video which shows his awesome guitar playing. I found an older one which I've never seen before.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79JRDanqk9s

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Okay - you all have convinced me that I need to check out some of Keith's music. And while I think he is very hot, I definately still prefer the more mature Mr. Frey. :wink:

[sodascouts]

At this point, I'm convinced Keith warrants his own thread in Chit Chat. What do you say, EF?

[EasyFeeling]

If someone is willing to talk about him now and then it would be great, Soda. :D

[sodascouts]

I think you should have the honor of starting it, EF. I have been studying up on him and am impressed!

[sodascouts]

This topic made me go back and listen to "Common Thread" again. Although I'd heard Take It Easy before, like Maleah, these versions were my introductions to a few Eagles songs, like Sad Cafe. I think overall the album is great, except for maybe the underwhelming cover of Take It to the Limit by Suzy Bogguss.

[Maleah]

I haven't heard any of the cd except TIE.........but I just can't imagine a woman singing "take it to the limit." lol

[Brooke]

I haven't heard many of the songs on Common Thread, but I like Travis Tritt's version of TIE. I like him anyway.

I don't care for Clint Black's version of Desperado at all. And I like him, too.

I can't imagine a woman singing TITTL either!

There's just not many people that can get away with covering Eagles songs and me liking it. It's just not right....but that's just me! :)

[Maleah]

I think Travis Tritt is one of the few people that can cover an Eagles song and I'd actually like it. I love his version of Take It Easy and would probably love any other one's he'd do.

[sodascouts]

Coincidentally, I just received in the mail from a sweet guy in Italy a CD which has CHER doing Take It to the Limit! It's... interesting.

[Maleah]

Coincidentally, I just received in the mail from a sweet guy in Italy a CD which has CHER doing Take It to the Limit! It's... interesting.

.................wow.................I think that's something I can probably hold off on ever hearing :laugh:

.................wow.................I think that's something I can probably hold off on ever hearing :laugh:

ooooh, I think I'll take a pass on this one, as well! :yuck:

[Ive always been a dreamer]

:D :D :D

But, Soda said it was INTERESTING. So, I may give it a 15 second listen. :wink:

[EasyFeeling]

Me too. :wink:

[Brooke]

Cher?! Sacrilegious! :laugh:

[Molly]

:D :D :D

But, Soda said it was INTERESTING. So, I may give it a 15 second listen. :wink:

Interesting is one of those words kind people use when they don't want to be mean or rude. :huh:

[sodascouts]

:D :D :D

Interesting is one of those words kind people use when they don't want to be mean or rude. :huh:

Yes, I don't want you listening to that on account of me - it wasn't THAT interesting. ;)

[Billy]

can anyone send me links to covers?

by PM,I'll give u my email

[sodascouts]

Billy, I have some covers if yo uwant to PM me - but not a whole lot.

[Karen Carpenter]

The Carpenters performed "Desperado" in 1975. I don't quite care for that version, because the Eagles performed it, well, flawlessly. It can be found on their "Horizon" LP.

[sodascouts]

Thanks for that information, KC. It's amazing how many people have covered Desperado! And welcome to the board. :)

[Karen Carpenter]

Thanks for welcoming me! I enjoy this board a lot. If you want, I can upload it and share it with you guys.

[DonFan]

Welcome from me too, KC.
I loved the Carpenters and I especially loved Karen's beautiful vocals. It would be great if you could upload a link to that song.

[Karen Carpenter]

She was a great singer... Sad to say, I wasn't alive when she was singing. On a brighter note, at least I got to see the Eagles in concert last year! :P

I will post the link soon, and even though it wasn't the best of the Carpenters, it's an okay rendition.

To this day, I consider Karen the best female drummer/lead singer, and I consider Don Henley the best male drummer/lead singer. It's a coincidence that both of them played the drums and sang!

[Karen Carpenter]

Shucks! I haven't had my account for two days yet. Oh well... when the time comes, I'll post the link.

[sodascouts]

I would love to hear it, too. She had such a beautiful voice!

People often forget that Karen was a drummer like Don. That is a cool concidence. Can't fault your taste. ;)

[Karen Carpenter]

I would love to hear it, too. She had such a beautiful voice!

People often forget that Karen was a drummer like Don. That is a cool concidence. Can't fault your taste. ;)
Thanks! Not many people tell me I have good taste in music! :blush:

[Karen Carpenter]

On YouTube, I saw a clip from Olivia Newton-John's "Hollywood Nights" Television Special, and Olivia Newton-John, Toni Tennille, Tina Turner, and Karen Carpenter were singing the Eagles' "Heartache Tonight". It's not a bad rendition. I like it.

[sodascouts]

OK, posting this link for KC:

The Carpenters' Cover of Desperado (http://rolandchayer.com/TheVanKarenLife/instal1/Audio/37501.mp3)

P.S. I bet those ladies doing HT is a hoot!

[Karen Carpenter]

P.S. I bet those ladies doing HT is a hoot!
Yeah, I'll PM you the link.

[Perfect Little Sister]

That was cool! Thanks for posting that link guys.

Welcome to The Border KC! I haven't listened to Karen for soooo long. Thanks for that. Such a voice...and such a tragedy that she passed so young.

[EasyFeeling]

Ummm, the link doesn't work for me. It says server cannot be found. :?

[Karen Carpenter]

Ummm, the link doesn't work for me. It says server cannot be found. :?
Hmm... it should work.

[EasyFeeling]

It works now. :D Seemed to be a temporary problem.

[Karen Carpenter]

Okay, I mentioned earlier that Olivia Newton-John and the gals sang "Heartache Tonight". I found a link to a fair quality of the video on Google Videos.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3555607882262597038&hl=en

Enjoy!

[Karen Carpenter]

Okay, I found a relatively better quality one on YouTube.

[badkitty33]

You all know I'm a "hair" gal.

Wow! Are you really Brooke? Me too!!! Just about the first thing I notice on a guy!! 8) In fact, you could even say I have a bit of a hair fetish!

[badkitty33]

Keith and Nicole displayed a great show of unity here in Sydney over Christmas. But EF, how do I break it to you? I have never heard one of his songs and I don't have the slightest interest in him. I don't find him remotely attractive and I am also not a fan of his wife. Sorry. :? So, er, no, I haven't seen him and I didn't go looking. The city has been inundated with the fragrant Paris Hilton, anyway.

Wow! FP! I'm not alone!! I don't care for him either!! Not one little bit. I always felt bad on MF's board, so I kept my mouth shut for the longest time. I don't see it -- AT ALL! I'm sorry, but he does nothing for me. And also, like you, I have never heard anything he does and I'm not the least bit interested! God, that feels good! Sorry ladies. It's just that FP mentioned "unity", and well ... 8)

[badkitty33]

Has anyone ever heard Ziggy Marley's version of Hotel California? If you like Reggae, you'd probably like it. It's very different, but very cool indeed! I love it! 8) But then, I love Reggae. Someone could do the "Barney" song in Reggae and I'd probably like it!!!

[EasyFeeling]

Wow! FP! I'm not alone!! I don't care for him either!! Not one little bit. I always felt bad on MF's board, so I kept my mouth shut for the longest time. I don't see it -- AT ALL!

Soda, now you have got almost all of his songs. What do you say to this ignorance? :wink:

[Brooke]

EF, they just do NOT know what they are missing! :wink:

Although, I don't see what he sees in Nicole either! :roll:

[sodascouts]

I say, don't knock Keith Urban until you've tried him! You may not find him physically attractive, but it's his voice that's important!

[Randy's Girl]

I love Keith too (not as much as EF does tho :wink: )

[badkitty33]

Wow! FP! I'm not alone!! I don't care for him either!! Not one little bit. I always felt bad on MF's board, so I kept my mouth shut for the longest time. I don't see it -- AT ALL!

Soda, now you have got almost all of his songs. What do you say to this ignorance? :wink:

Ignorance? Oh, EF, I'm just expressing my opinion!!! :wink: 8) I'm sorry I don't like him!!!

[badkitty33]

Okay, ladies, I guess I have to go for broke. See, the thing is, I don't like country music!! Sorry! I've tried, believe me. I like a few select songs (a little Shania, a couple Brooks and Dunn and, of course, Garth Brooks' "Friends in Low Places"), but other than that ... country just doesn't cut it for me!

I even have a brother who played in a country band a few years ago! I supported him and went to see them, even enjoyed some of it (they also did other types of music though), but, even with that, it just doesn't do anything for me! I can't help what my ears don't like!!! It's like food! If you don't like the taste of something, you don't eat it! If I don't like the way something sounds, I'm not going to listen to it! Okay, NOW I'm done. 8)

[Brooke]

But bk, Keith is on the farrrrrrrr side of country with most of his songs!

[badkitty33]

I've heard that said before Brooke. That means I can't keep using the "country" excuse!! What excuse am I gonna use now!!!! 8) :wink:

Fine, fine, maybe, and I mean MAYBE, I'll look him up on Limewire!

Thanks Brooke.

[Brooke]

Haha! Just wait till you see him playing smokin' guitar! :guitar: :smokin:

[badkitty33]

Love your little smilie graphics there Brooke!!! http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/midi/froehlich/a040.gif

[Maleah]

I've heard that said before Brooke. That means I can't keep using the "country" excuse!! What excuse am I gonna use now!!!! 8) :wink:

Fine, fine, maybe, and I mean MAYBE, I'll look him up on Limewire!

Thanks Brooke.

If nothing else sis, I know you'll love the guitar playing! ;)

Me meanwhile.........I love me some country :D Course....my country that I love is Keith, Wynonna (LOOOOVE her!), Rascal Flatts (except for the Grammy's :shock: ), Martina McBride.......etc.... :D
But that's ok if you don't like it! That's what makes us interesting ;) I'm not a big hard rock/heavy metal fan.......in fact I'm not one at all :blush: Or rap :?

Ooo Ooo Ooo....I forgot I loooove Travis Tritt and Phil Vassar too :D.......and Carrie Underwood.....and .....ok I'll stop :P

[EasyFeeling]

But bk, Keith is on the farrrrrrrr side of country with most of his songs!

This is absolutely true. Most of his songs are NOT country. Ok, you can hear a banjo now and then but's that's all. And like Brooke said his guitar playing is mind blowing, believe me.
Oh BK, you know I was just kidding with the "ignorance" comment. :wink: You're right, it's a matter of taste. When my aunt brought us the DVD on her last visit in 2005 I thought: Oh no, I don't like country music and put the DVD away and forgot it then. After a few weeks one day I was bored and remembered I had this DVD. And what can I say? I fell in love with him from the first song.
Love his voice and his guitar playing, the way he rolls his shoulders while playing and singing, all these little details makes me love him.

What I wanted to say is just try him. Do you remember Maleah talked on TLR about Johnny Lang and Marc Broussard. I've never heard of them even so downloaded some songs on Limewire and I liked them.
If you want me to send you some songs let me know. 8)

As you all know I shouldn't come here while I'm on work but in this case I couldn't resist. :wink:

[Maleah]

Did you REALLY like them??? :D :D :D You didn't tell me that EF! :D Which songs did you try of Jonny Lang? Walking Away is REALLY good!

[badkitty33]

Wow! I'm really flattered by all the time and attention you've given to try and make me a convert!!! I suppose the least I can do is download a song or two. Any suggestions???? :roll:

FYI: I saw Johnny Lang about 9 - 10 years ago. I liked him!!! He's kind of bluesy if I remember correctly -- which I like!! Maybe I'll download some of him!!! 8)

Oh, and EF, I know you were just joking around!! Never worry about that! I can take a joke!

[EasyFeeling]

I knew you know that, BK. :wink: Suggestions? God, I don't know where to start, there are too many. Ok, try Days Go By, Better Life, Making Memories Of Us, Somebody Like Me... I will stop now. :wink:

I know currently I'm in a fever of excitement because of the upcoming show. It's the same than last year with the Eagles show. I can't help it, I just love him. :wink: Still 17 days...

Oh, I never told you that, Maleah? I like Beautiful One, Breaking Me, and I absolutely love Missing Your Love, that's my favourite song! :D But I haven't got Walking Away.

[Brooke]

Bk, besides the ones EF has mentioned, I would suggest Raining on Sunday. The guitar at the end is awesome! 8)

[Maleah]

and also in addition......:D......I would recommend "faster car" off of his newest cd. It has an awesome bass line on it that I just found out today that Keith plays as well! Also...."Where The Blacktop Ends," it is absolutely ROCKING live! "Tonight I Wanna Cry" has a really pretty Keith vocal but I don't think it has much guitar on it except acoustic.

[EasyFeeling]

Very good suggestions, ladies. 8) Oooooooooh, I badly feel the need to watch the DVD now. :D

[badkitty33]

Okay, thank you ladies. That helps a lot since I know absolutely nothing that he does! As soon as I leave here, I'm heading to Limewire! 8) I hope my fingers don't cramp up when I go to type in his name!!! :D :D :wink:

[badkitty33]

Very good suggestions, ladies. 8) Oooooooooh, I badly feel the need to watch the DVD now. :D

Go for it!! 8)

[Maleah]

I hope my fingers don't cramp up when I go to type in his name!!! :D :D :wink:


Don't even try that excuse! :D I expect you to download each of the songs mentioned and give a full report on ANYTHING you found that you liked ;)

[EasyFeeling]

Exactly! :twisted: :D

[badkitty33]

Okay ladies, here's my report on everything I liked:

*crickets chirping*


Seriously, I'm very sorry to say, nothing appealed to me. Maybe there's something wrong with me!!!

I listened to about 6 songs. A couple that were suggested I couldn't find, and I found another one that sounded like it might be interesting. "Stupid Boy". Liked the title anyway!!!

I could still detect that "country" sound in his voice, and that is one of the main things I don't like about country. Not twangy, but something else that I can't exactly describe. That's why I like Shania. Being that her husband was producer for bands like AC/DC, Def Leppard, etc., is probably why I like her stuff! It's his influence in there. Plus, she's got a great voice! Anyway ....

I'm sorry if I've disappointed Mr. Urban's legion of adoring fans. I gave it a fair shot. I'm always open to hearing new music (including older music/artists/bands I've just never heard before). It just didn't do anything for me. **runs for cover**

PLEASE DON'T HATE ME!!!

I will say this much, he is pretty hot on the guitar!! That sounded good!

Having said all this, I still, and will always, respect the fact that so many of you like him!!! http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/liebe/a090.gif

Well, bk, I guess it's hopeless for you, but thank you for giving him a fair chance.

Stupid Boy is not one of my Keith favorites, but I will forgive him for it since he's so easy on the eyes! IMO!

We can't all like the same things or it would be a very boring world! :)

I totally agree, Brooke. :D :D :D
I like Stupid Boy but it's not my favourite song either. He did much better songs.

BK, at least you've tried him. 8) And you're right what you've said about that "country" voice. Usually I don't like that sound but in case of Keith I love it. :D
