I was reading some comments in another thread about Will Hollis, and it occurred to me that we need a thread for backup band members. So we can use this thread to talk about any of the backup band, past or present. Just in case anyone is not familiar with them, the present touring band includes the following members:

Scott Crago – Drums and Percussion
Will Hollis – Keyboards, Vocals
Steuart Smith – Guitar, Vocals
Michael Thompson – Keyboards, Accordion, Vocals
Richard F. W. Davis - Keyboards, Vocals*

“The Mighty Horns”:
Les Lovitt – Trumpet**
Al Garth – Saxophone, Violin, Percussion
Chris Mostert – Tenor and Alto Saxophone
Greg Smith – Baritone Saxophone


-------------------------------------------------------

*Richard F. W. Davis co-produced The Long Road Out of Eden album and joined the touring band at the onset of The Long Road Out of Eden tour in 2007.

**Les Lovitt replaced Bill Armstrong who passed away on March 17, 2010.

I’ll start this thread with a story about Will that is a little off color, but true, nonetheless. The first time I ever saw Will up close was at Glenn’s solo show at Casino Rama. Will, Al, and some others were having dinner in the same restaurant that we were. Now, in addition to “Sugar”, some of us had bestowed some other nicknames on Glenn including “Smokin’ Hot A$$” (a.k.a. SHA). When we first saw Will in the restaurant, he was up at the dessert buffet. One of the ladies in our party, almost gasp when she spotted him. Her mouth flew wide open and her eyes were as big as saucers. I had no idea what she had seen until I looked over and saw for myself. Will looked so drop-dead gorgeous standing at that dessert bar that we decided he had earned the nickname “Smokin’ Hot A$$, Jr.”

Soda, PLS, and I also got a chance to talk to Will, Scott, Michael, and Al this past August in Niagara Falls. We talked to them for a while, and they were all really sweet to us.

To say I'm envious would be an understatement.

I suspect this will be a thread where we can post photos of the backing band, as I have some from F1 which are very nice, mainly of Will, Steuart and Scott.

What a great story Dreamer! I too am envious! I LOVE the nicknames! Particularly the one for Sugar! :D

And I never object to seeing pics either! So post away!

Meeting Will, Scott, Micheal and Al at Niagara Falls this past summer was great.

I always remember before the second show we were standing up by the stage and Micheal ( whom Dreamer, Soda and PLS had met the night before) walked right up to me and introduced himself... it was so cute! and of course my encounter with Al in the elevator :) but actually later on in the bar I talked to Al quite a bit; about his career over the years, how he has been with Glenn since 1982 and was with Timothy in Poco. We also discussed his work with the Nitty Gritty Dirt band, Loggins and Messina and Dan Fogelberg. It was a very enlightening conversation!

Very cool stories, dreamer and timfan! I had heard bits and pieces, but hadn't heard the nickname! Very appropriate! :wink: Now I'm so :jealous:

And I don't object to pics either! Bring 'em on! :spin:

Yes please - post some photo's of the band.
I have lots of Will Hollis from Farewell 1, but I'd be pleased to see other people's favourites too.
When I am able to post(I'm new to the board at present) I will post any that I have which are different to yours.

p.s. Will deserves the name "Smokin' ass jr".
He's in every one of my fantasies!

LOL

What is great about these guys is how approachable they are to anyone.

My first encounter was with Jonathan Clark in 2006. He was very nice to PLS and me when we ran into him.

In 2006 at Casino Rama, I embarrassed myself in an elevator with Will Hollis and Danny Grenier, and was rewarded with Danny pointing at me and mouthing "elevator" at the show the next night. Fun times. lol

As has been stated, in Niagara Falls a few months ago, I got a chance to talk to Al, Will, Scott, and Michael at the bar after the show Thursday. I asked Al Garth if that was really him in the "I Found Somebody" video... he said he couldn't remember! lol!

Michael Thompson was especially sweet. I teasingly asked him to wave to us from the stage on Friday night and he did! What a doll! I was going to thank him after the show, but once we got that dedication from Glenn my brain stopped functioning properly. If I ever see Michael again, I'm going to try to make up for my oversight!

Great pics everyone. :D Was it Scott Crago who had long hair back then? Does anyone have a photo?

Freypower
01-06-2008, 06:15 PM
I wasn't a fan of Scott with long hair but if you watch HFO and Christchurch you will see that look.

In 2005 people who saw Glenn at Casino Rama and Foxwoods got a bonus as Steuart was in the band on those nights. Glenn himself described it as a 'rare appearance' and in the Rama show he gives Steuart a shout out doing The Heat Is On. It was great to hear Steuart with Glenn but I cannot envisage it every happening again as Steuart now appears closer to Don than ever. Of course Glenn has Danny Grenier.

Anyway...

Ah, yes, I remember this well! Will was apparently right behind me in line and no one told me until after I was back in my seat at the table!! Aggghhhhh!! :evil: Probably a good thing, as I'm sure I would have dropped my dessert on my shoes.

I do take exception to your description of the look on our dinner companion's face, however, dreamer. She gasped, that's correct, but I would say the look on her face was more like "intense focused lust". I think there may have been a little drool on her mouth, as well. :shock: Who could blame her!

Here's my favorite picture of the Mighty Horns. I own similar head gear!

Oh c'mon - who are you kidding here, Molly. If you'd have known Will was right behind you, you would've been so close to him that your dessert would have landed on his shoes instead of yours. And I'm sure you are right about the facial expressions - I was probably not paying as close attenton as I should've been - probably too busy wiping the drool off of my own chin. :blush: :blush:

And I'm sure those Mighty Cheesehead stole your heart when you saw that pic.

Now to my shame, the last time that I surfed Eaglesband.com was probably before I discovered GFO. :blush: With time on my hands, I decided to visit the site today. I found the following two pictures, which I'm posting for Steph. I'm sure she's seen them, and has them filed, but I thought they'd add to the thread. So here goes:

Hi Mrs Frey,

Ta for posting those. I have seen them before, but it's always a pleasure to refresh my memory and have a drool over Will.
I'm still on Cloud 9 after seeing him in the flesh. He was even more beautiful than I had dreamed. Don't think I'll ever fully come back down to earth.
I'm sure you feel the same about Glenn now that you've seen him in the flesh too.

Here is a little note from Scott Crago that was posted in Feed The Fire. I was in chat with Joe Walsh and Timothy last night and this really happened, although I can't be 100% sure this was written by Scott. Can you imagine being proposed to in front of all those people?

From: Scott Crago (Eagles back up drummer)

Dear family and friends.


It was 5 years ago, almost to the day, that I met Elisabeth Brewer back
stage at the Boston Garden (then the Fleet Center). She was the on call
doctor for The Eagles Farewell 1 tour.

Last night, July 30th, 2008, In front of family, friends and 15,000
screaming fans at the (now)T.D North Bank Garden in Boston Massachusetts, I
asked the love of my life, Dr. Elisabeth Brewer to marry me. She had no
choice but to say yes.

I had told no one of my plan except for our lighting director and 3 camera
operators. After Glenn Frey introduced me to my home town crowd, I unrolled
a scroll that I had made earlier in the day with block lettering that read
ELISABETH... WILL YOU MARRY ME?"

An enormous roar went up as the sign was flashed onto our "big screens" for
all the Garden to see. A spot light hit Elisabeth as the video cameras
caught her overwhelming shock.

The moment was beautiful.

This is my 14th year with the Eagles and I never saw such big smiles from
Don, Glenn, Joe and Timothy as I did when I unrolled that scroll. My band
mates, friends and family are all very thrilled for Elisabeth and I, as I am
sure you are as well.

The event was all caught on film, and I hope to share it with you at some
point. I only wish that you all could have been there for that moment. It
truly was exciting.


After the show, I presented Elisabeth with her engagement ring. She
accepted.... and yes, I was on one knee.


Feel free to pass this on to other family members and friends. I know I don
t have everyone's e-mail addresses.

All my best , and kind regards to you and your families.

Scott

Question that I'm sure someone here (Steph?) can answer. Our friends were over last evening and the conversation once again turned to the Eagles (Hmm -wonder how?:huh:) and my friend was asking about the "cute keyboardist" meaning Will. Told her who he was but really don't have much info about him. Told her I bet I can get the info on him before I see her again Saturday. Is it already posted here somewhere that someone can direct me to or can someone tell me the info on him like age, marital status and stuff? I know he has been with Glenn and Don for a very long time on solo stuff also and that he has done a lot of work as musical director on other projects. Thanks!

Question that I'm sure someone here (Steph?) can answer. Our friends were over last evening and the conversation once again turned to the Eagles (Hmm -wonder how?:huh:) and my friend was asking about the "cute keyboardist" meaning Will. Told her who he was but really don't have much info about him. Told her I bet I can get the info on him before I see her again Saturday. Is it already posted here somewhere that someone can direct me to or can someone tell me the info on him like age, marital status and stuff? I know he has been with Glenn and Don for a very long time on solo stuff also and that he has done a lot of work as musical director on other projects. Thanks!


Hi,

I don't know too much about Will. He seems to keep his personal details to himself. There aren't any personal details on his web site.
I do know that....

1. Will is married & has kids(at least 2).
2. I think I read somewhere that Will is 38 - don't quote me on that though. His birthday is January 6.

Sorry this is all I have - wish I knew more. Anyway, as your friend says, Will is very cutie-cute. My avatar is from a photo I took at the O2 in March this year and I think Will looks gorgeous. :smitten:

Here is a little note from Scott Crago that was posted in Feed The Fire. I was in chat with Joe Walsh and Timothy last night and this really happened, although I can't be 100% sure this was written by Scott. Can you imagine being proposed to in front of all those people?

From: Scott Crago (Eagles back up drummer)

Dear family and friends.


It was 5 years ago, almost to the day, that I met Elisabeth Brewer back
stage at the Boston Garden (then the Fleet Center). She was the on call
doctor for The Eagles Farewell 1 tour.

Last night, July 30th, 2008, In front of family, friends and 15,000
screaming fans at the (now)T.D North Bank Garden in Boston Massachusetts, I
asked the love of my life, Dr. Elisabeth Brewer to marry me. She had no
choice but to say yes.

I had told no one of my plan except for our lighting director and 3 camera
operators. After Glenn Frey introduced me to my home town crowd, I unrolled
a scroll that I had made earlier in the day with block lettering that read
ELISABETH... WILL YOU MARRY ME?"

An enormous roar went up as the sign was flashed onto our "big screens" for
all the Garden to see. A spot light hit Elisabeth as the video cameras
caught her overwhelming shock.

The moment was beautiful.

This is my 14th year with the Eagles and I never saw such big smiles from
Don, Glenn, Joe and Timothy as I did when I unrolled that scroll. My band
mates, friends and family are all very thrilled for Elisabeth and I, as I am
sure you are as well.

The event was all caught on film, and I hope to share it with you at some
point. I only wish that you all could have been there for that moment. It
truly was exciting.


After the show, I presented Elisabeth with her engagement ring. She
accepted.... and yes, I was on one knee.


Feel free to pass this on to other family members and friends. I know I don
t have everyone's e-mail addresses.

All my best , and kind regards to you and your families.

Scott

So, seeing a pic in another thread with Scott in it reminded me of this. I wonder if the marriage has taken place? Anyone heard anything?

He may not be backing the Eagles, but he backed one Eagle, Don.

I didn't want to take over Don's Chicago thread, but this Peter Thorn deserves a mention here. He plays an awesome guitar... and from what I've read, is a very in demand session musician. Took these from his myspace page...

I think you're allowed more than one unattainable rock star love at a time. The key word is unattainable. Once you actually attain one, then you should limit yourself to just that one, OK? Just to be fair, you see. In the meantime, however, go for it...it hasn't stopped any of the rest of us!

A couple of things I have said about myself over the years, “I have lead singer disease”… meaning give a man a microphone and I’m in love!

Also, there is my this, “I love my emaciated Rock Stars” … I seem to have a thing for very thin guys in bands.

Pretty much, I think I just love musicians. I think I can pin my first Rock Star crush in Jon Bon Jovi then moved over to Richie Sambora. From then, my love of rock stars just continued. Oh wait… no, maybe my first crush was on some guy in Menudo, but it wasn’t little Ricky (aka Ricky Martin), maybe it was big Ricky. Too much time has passed.

Back to Peter… he’s thin, can play a mean guitar and his vocals aren’t too bad either! I was listening to him on youtube singing back up for Chris Cornell; and he was good! It should be illegal to be so hot and talented! LOL

Steuart Smith is a nice guitarist (not more than that) but he will NEVER be able to replace Don Felder in my humble opinion.

He was SO much better!!!

MikeA
02-17-2010, 09:50 AM
Not intending to be argumentative here Rene45nl, but I think Stu is a very underrated guitarist. He's been around a long time and has done studio work with a wide variety of artists. Joe Walsh crowned him as being one of the best studio guitarists he'd ever worked with. He can hear a song once and slip in and replicate it perfectly.

He has been granted writing credits on Long Road Out Of Eden so it his other talents are coming to the fore with Eagles.

AS for "Star Quality" compared with that of Don Felder, probably not. As a musician, he has his own nitch without having to be anyone else. He certainly fills the gap in the strings with Eagles now that Felder is no longer with them.

I try to form my opinion of Smith based on his performances and I have to say that I really do like what comes out of his amps. I think he had to know that he had an uphill struggle coming in behind Don Felder and it seems to me that he decided to just let his guitar do the talking...and it talks loudly and clearly. His techniques with pinch harmonics are not exceeded by anyone, including Billy Gibbons.

I personally think that Stu is a great addition to Eagles.

sodascouts
02-17-2010, 11:15 AM
I think Stu gets a bad rap because he's been instructed to duplicate Felder rather than do his own thing, and the duplicate is always going to be considered inferior to the original. I think both he and Felder are extremely talented.

Wise words! :) I think you're right. Stu is also a great guitar player I think but I've seen about 15 concerts with Felder in the line-up and about 10 with Stu in the line-up and I think Felder put some more "feeling" and "heart" in the guitar parts than Stu does. But that's just my personal opinion, for what it's worth....

Besides, Stu is not "officially" an Eagle, or is he?

Whatever... I think I just yearning to those good old days... :rockguitar:

Welcome Rene from one Joe fan to another!

Steuart is not an Eagle and as Soda mentioned he has been instructed to duplicate, not do his own thing. I'm sure that's why you don't see him put more "feeling and heart" into his parts. He's supposed to blend in - not stand out.

MikeA
02-17-2010, 07:22 PM
I think maybe things have gotten sorta blurred as to who is an Eagle and who isn't. Kinda in three segmented parts the Eagles are. But I find it hard NOT to consider them ALL Eagles.

Glenn and Don in one category as owners

Tim and Joe as #1 Sidekicks (in Joe's words..."Hired Guns")

Stu and the rest of the musicians whom the Eagles could not do without and still perform as they do.

BTW, I was a Joe Walsh "fan" before I was an Eagles follower.

I agree. I think Stu does OK.

As it's been said, he & the rest of the supporting musicians are there to 'blend' in with the Eagles & 'support' them. In Steuart's case he is expected to replicate Don Felder.
Some of the other support musicians can add their own touch as the original versions of the song didn't have all the instrumentation of the live versions we get to hear now. e.g. the horn section & two or three keyboard players.

Stu gets to 'play it his way' on the LROOE songs & I have no complaint about his playing on those!

It has recently been said(but I can't remember where I read it) that Stu should be replaced by Peter Thorn(who played for Don's November shows) as he's more exciting to watch. I disagree. Although I thought Peter was great in Don's band I just can't see him playing with the Eagles. Maybe it's because he's younger than the rest of the support musicians & a bit more of a Rock guitarist(he certainly moves about a bit on stage!).

As Will no longer has his own website, I'm setting up a little fan site dedicated to him.

If you have any photos of Will which you'd be happy for me to put on the photos page, please let me know. I'd be very grateful and I will of course credit you for them.

Send me a PM with the photo link(s) and how you'd like to be credited e.g. real name, just 1st name, name from this board etc.

I'll let you know the link when I've got the fan site up.

Can't wait to see your Will page. He seems like a really nice guy. I got to meet & see him for a short while when I was in Atlantic City in 2007. He & Scott were on their way through the bar before the show & I was there with some Fastlane people & Scott came up behind Melissa & hugged her. I hate having my picture taken & I was too shy to get my picture taken with them, but a couple of the ladies did. I would do it now. (But I still won't let my family take pictures of me.) They both seemed very nice, though.

What a great job on the website, Steph! I posted in your guestbook, but I'll repeat it here. You are definitely Will's biggest fan that I know of and he is lucky to have such a caring and devoted fans such as you. I really hope that one of the days you are able to meet him. He is a sweetie, but I'm sure you already know that! :wink:

Steph, the site is excellent. I left a message under my real name. I do so wish I had physical evidence of Will's performance in Niagara Falls. The three keyboard players were quite exceptional (although on the new songs the acoustic piano was most prominent).

This photo is probably the best of the ones I took in December 2010 (which I'm afraid isn't saying a great deal).

As a tribute to Will's birthday, I just got this in a Google alert & thought it would be appropriate to post here. It's a video of a live performance of Waiting In the Weeds featuring Will's piano solo: http://youtu.be/RQSobW6FeyA

Nice thought GL, and great video. Thanks for posting.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WILL!!

And nice to see you again Steph - hope you're doing well.

Thanks Soda. I'm OK. Still some health problems though, and we've also had a lot of family problems last year.

Hope to be here more often in 2014.

This is not in the least bit important(and probably not even interesting), but..............

Has anyone else noticed that Will has started parting his hair on the left, when for years he's had his parting on the right? It seemed to happen sometime in summer 2013.

No, I hadn't noticed, but I'm not very observant sometimes.

I didn't really expect anyone to have noticed Soda. I know that most Borderers wouldn't be looking at Will!

My Eagles-buddy Phyl once told me off for only looking at Will when we were at a show. I said she was being a bit unfair, after all I do notice that there are these 4 guys at the front of the stage(5 if you count Steuart). :hilarious::hilarious::hilarious::hilarious:

Steph - I didn't notice Will's hair either, but I did notice his mustache. TBH, I prefer him without facial hair, but like his hair a little longer. Maybe he's trying to perfect the Professor Hollis look! ;)

I'm with you Dreamer. I think Will looks his best when he's clean-shaven. I like his hair a little longer too. I also thought the same about the 'Professor Hollis' look. Seems you read my mind, Dreamer!

As he's slimmed down, maybe he just thought he'd go for a whole new look.

Does anybody know who does the additional percussion during the new acoustic versions of Heartache Tonight? I thought it might've been Will Hollis or Richard Davis, but they both seem present at their respective keyboards. (The person in question stands in Crago's usual spot to the left (as we see it) of Don.)

I think his name is Roberto Chivara. I'll look it up and make sure. He was a roadie at one point and they learned that he could play percussion. He played on Glenn's solo tour, and I can't remember if he was with Don, too, but he probably was.

In a few places we have it spelled 'Chivera'. Here is the link where Soda documents what Glenn said when introducing him.

It is spelt 'Chavira'. I just checked my After Hours Sydney Opera House flyer. I don't know if he plays with Don.

Perhaps this fall we'll find out. I honestly don't remember if he was in Atlantic City with Don a year ago. I remember he had a percussionist, of course, but not who.

Yep verna I remember him on after hours tour when we saw him at the sands.
Funny side bar jahh and I were eating at a table in the food court and he was sitting right next to us at the next table with a bunch of roadies lol

I have a question. Was Steuart part of Don's band before he became part of the backup band for the Eagles. I was watching Storytellers from 2000(or was it 2001) and I thought I saw Steuart in Don's band. I could be wrong. I will see Will on there.

shun - I can't remember if Steuart was playing with Don on the VH1 Storytellers or not because I've only seen it once or twice and that was several years ago. Maybe someone else here can answer that.

But, on Inside Job, I believe Steuart played on one or two songs on the CD, but he was not in the band for the taping of the DVD. I think Will and Michael Thompson were the only members of the Eagles' current backup band that appeared on the DVD. I don't know if he was part of Don's Inside Job touring band or not.

So, bottom line is, I guess I wasn't that much help to you. Sorry. :unimpressed:

He played on Inside Job, which was released in 2000. I think he was hired by the Eagles in 2000, too, but I'm not positive; the earliest show he played with them was on May 29, 2001. If I were to guess, I'd say he was probably first with Don's band, and then Don suggested him to the Eagles. I don't have any bootlegs from that Inside Job tour, though, so I can't be certain.

Thanks everybody. I could be wrong and that could be a guy who looks like Steuart. It may not be him.

OK. I rewatch Storytellers and looking at the end credits, Steuart wasn't part of the band. So I guess it was just a guy who looks like him, but I did see Will a few times in Storytellers. I know I heard he was in Don's band before he join the Eagles backup band.

Felder was fired in 2001, not 2000, after which Steuart was hired.
