It may have been an unfortunate usage, but "ghost harmony" is, I believe, a widely used term.

Joe often refers to the "ghost harmony" when talking about vocals. It's the harmony part that you can't really distinguish, Joe would describe it as the part you can't hear but iis an essential part of the sound.
I believe the band have been rejigging which parts of the harmony they sing, to make the best of their current pool of vocal talent.
I'm no fan of Vince but I'm hoping that he'll inspire Eagles to make a new record. Part Of The Plan is a helluva whimper to go out on. :sigh:
Glenn Frey's harmonies were not 'inaudible'. Nice of you to say that they were essential, though. Very generous of you. :nausea:
Of course they have to 'rejig' their harmonies. That goes without saying. They'll never fill the gap, no matter what they do. In my opinion.
In reading various comments on here, I guess I don't see why some have so much hatred for the fact that the Eagles have continued on without Glenn. I'm glad I got to see them in Louisville on the mini tour. I never had the opportunity when Glenn was alive, and for my money, this was the next best thing. People are getting bent out of shape that they have the audacity to go on with Deacon and Vince, they're selling out shows. They'll sell out every show on this tour more than likely. It's not like they're Chicago or The Doobie Brothers, who are brands at this point that continue to tour year after year with a couple of original members left. And for those arguing (and afraid of their legacy, which is absurd) at the fact that Joe and Timothy aren't original members, they've been members far longer than Bernie or Randy. I'm more bothered by their sound changing so much from what it was years ago.
That being said, I was surprised to hear that they're doing a full-blown tour, teaming up with Jimmy Buffet, no less. Buffet has a huge fanbase, but his stuff all sounds the same to me. I just never understood the love for Buffet, I guess. This combination seems weird to me.
I do think Don shouldn't have been so quick to say they probably wouldn't play anymore so quickly after Glenn died, when it's now turned to this. It all comes down to $$$. If he can continue to milk the Eagles for all that it's worth, that's what he's going to do. He's proven that. Might as well enjoy the music rather than complain about it, because they're going to keep going whether the hardcore fan base likes it or not.
I wasn't expecting people to get my point. (which wasn't as simple as not being original members) It's hard to explain what I mean. And it's not worth trying again. And like I said, it's only how I feel. I wasn't stating a fact. Therefore I'm not saying I'm right.
Lilsten to the title line of LITFL. That is Glenn. You seem to forget that song barely has any harmonies.
In HC I assume he's singing part of the harmonies in the chorus.
Regardless it seems rather unfair to pick out two songs where there aren't that many harmonies to make a case that Glenn is hard to hear in them.
At this point I am banging my head against a brick wall. I already know your views on the subject of Glenn's vocals. You stick to them and I will stick to mine.
