Eagles DVD Survivor: Farewell I
Time for the Farewell I Survivor, where we vote off the song performances on the DVD / BluRay until we get to the last one standing!
If you're new, for a basic overview of the game, see this post: Survivor Overview
I'm going to list all the songs performed on the concert here. Vote for the performances that you feel should be eliminated from the list. The song performances that get the most votes will be taken off of the list (or, in the language of Survivor, "voted off of the island.") Each round, one more song will get axed, until there's only one left. Remember: you're voting for the one you think should GO, not the one you think should stay.
Special note: Due to the fact that there are so many performances, the first 10 rounds will be double eliminations - two performances will go per round. For the first 10 rounds, you should vote for two song performances.
Note: Do not criticize how/why other people vote. Their reasons are their own and they are free to vote however they like. Also, never attack a fellow poster. You can disagree without making it personal. Sometimes these games can get heated, but remember... it's still just a game.
Each round will last 48 hours after posting to give people a chance to vote who don't post every day. That means that the first round will end at 8:00 Eastern time the day after tomorrow. If you miss a round, don't think you can't play. It's all good!
Since there may be discussion posts, be sure to make it clear when you are casting your vote. Once the board clock strikes 8:00 pm Eastern on the second day, no more votes will be counted for that round - even if it's only seconds after. Your votes also cannot be changed once you have voted, even if you change your mind or make a mistake. Once it's on the record, that's it - so be careful!
If you get confused about what round we are in, look at this post. I'll always update it to reflect the current round. Also feel free to post any questions if you don't understand what's going on.
If there is a tiebreaker, then ALL votes from ALL previous rounds are tallied and whoever has the most prior votes is eliminated. That’s the way it’s done on the real show, that’s the way it’s done here. If there is a complete tie with prior votes (Murphy’s Law), then I'll have a sudden-death trivia question ready. The tie-breaker question will be asked one hour after results are in, if there is need for it. The first person who answers it correctly gets to break the tie. The odds of that happening are slim, but you never know, and it's good to be prepared. The exception is the last round. If the tiebreaker does not resolve the last round, then the tie will be allowed to stand.
In order to avoid voter fraud and trolling, we require that you must be "a member in good standing" as defined by the Terms of Service for at least two weeks before the start of the game in order to cast a vote.
GAME ON!

Re: Eagles DVD Survivor: Farewell I
MJ - During the first ten double-elimination rounds, each player needs to vote for two songs per round. I added the following note to the rules in the opening post:
Special note: Due to the fact that there are so many performances, the first 10 rounds will be double eliminations - two performances will go per round. For the first 10 rounds, you should vote for two song performances.
So, please vote for another performance for this round. You can edit your post to add your second vote. And for future voters, please include both of your votes in the same post.

Re: Eagles DVD Survivor: Farewell I
Well - I think this is going to be a very interesting and unpredictable game. I have to say I am a little shocked at some of the votes so far. Now, Silent Spring is no surprise because it is really not even a performance - it's just an interlude to open the acoustic set. The biggest surprise for me are the votes for Life's Been Good. I know some consider it a solo song, but actually almost 1/3 of the performances on the DVD are solo songs so there are quite a few to select from if that's your criteria. My defense for Life's Been Good is that, regardless of how much you like the song itself, it is such an energetic, fun, crowd-pleasing performance. Joe is such a great entertainer and I love how he interacts with the audience on this song. Although, like all Eagles performances, it is mostly scripted, Joe does manage to inject some spontaneity into the performance. IMO, it far surpasses some of the other low key solo performances e.g. Sunset Grill.
And, without question, we did, indeed, get our money's worth out of this DVD.

Re: Eagles DVD Survivor: Farewell I
Silent Spring
No More Cloudy Days
I love when the Eagles did the solo songs... I remember there was a thread a few years back about them doing them in Eagles shows. I loved the HOTE show, but I'm glad I also saw the LROOE tour to hear those solo songs. It's not feasible for everyone to go to see the guys solo. I never got to see Glenn live, and I'm pretty sure I'll never see Don live. I know I'm in the minority amongst the regulars, but I find it hard to go with the "well, save those for seeing them solo" thing. I think certain songs actually are far better with the band. Songs like Life's Been Good are far better in the Eagles than what's on But Seriously Folks, AFAIC.

Re: Eagles DVD Survivor: Farewell I
I unfortunately can't participate because never had the dvd, and only had the axs TV version which I lost when my dvr died. 😣😞 but I did enjoy the solo songs too. It was fun watching "ASWTDID" and of course "LBG". But I will refrain from voting.

Re: Eagles DVD Survivor: Farewell I
Well folks – I really don’t want to do this, but I am going to force a tie this round barring any last minute vote. I am doing this in an attempt to save Life’s Been Good because there is no way I believe this entertaining performance deserves to be eliminated in the first round of this game. It is so much better than many of the other performances, IMO. Therefore, as much as I hate to do this …
I cast my votes for Sunset Grill and Hole in the World.

Now for the tiebreaker rules:
Okay folks – Life's Been Good and Sunset Grill have the same number of votes AND since this is the first round, there are no past votes to break the tie. I’m going to ask a tiebreaker question at 9:00 p.m. EST. The first player to answer correctly gets to decide whether Life's Been Good or Sunset Grill leaves. ANYONE who voted in the round can answer the question, even if you didn't vote for one of these two songs.
ETA: After the tiebreaker, voting for Round 2 is now in progress.

Re: Eagles DVD Survivor: Farewell I
Okay – to settle this tied round, the first player to answer the following tiebreaker question correctly gets to choose whether they want to eliminate Life's Been Good or Sunset Grill. When answering the question, you must also include which song you want to eliminate. You only get one guess, so be careful! If the question goes unanswered correctly after one hour, the round will end in a tie and we will continue to play the game with both songs still in the competition. So, here’s the question …
Which performance on the DVD features the band doing a jumping routine?

Re: Eagles DVD Survivor: Farewell I
Dirty Laundry
Sunset Grill eliminated.

Well - that was an exciting round! Thanks Austin for saving the awesome Life's Been Good. I figured my risk would pay off, but you can never be sure.

KW - Even if you don't feel comfortable voting, you are welcome to participate in the discussion. However, if you want to play, maybe you can find a copy of the DVD on Amazon or ebay. I didn't check Amazon, but I did a quick search and found this on ebay at a great price with no shipping charges. Plus it says you should receive it by April 10th.

Or another option might be to check with your local library to see if they have a copy.

Re: Eagles DVD Survivor: Farewell I
I was just thinking that in these double-elimination rounds, there is probably a need to deploy a bit more strategy than we usually do, particularly in light of the fact that we don' have a lot of member participation. As we saw last round, it probably won't be uncommon to see some of these performances eliminated with just 3 or 4 votes, so that means every vote is more important than ever. I know many of you usually vote strictly based on the song/performance that you like least and, of course, there is nothing wrong with that. However, you may want to consider voting a little bit more strategically to save performances you like from elimination. There are times when it is good strategy to join other players in voting for a performance that you like in order to save a song you like even better. That’s what I did last round, and I can see this happening a lot in this game. I hope no one will interpret this post as me telling you how to vote because that is not my intention at all. I just thought I would share some strategic tips since many of you are newbies at the game unlike some of us oldies.
So, just a forewarning that whenever I see an opportunity to save a really good performance, I may suggest forming an alliance. But as always, it will be strictly up to each member about whether or not they want to join the alliance or not.

Re: Eagles DVD Survivor: Farewell I
Where are all of our voters for this round. We have only had 5 players vote so far. Just a reminder, this round ends at 8:00 p.m. EST tonight.

Re: Eagles DVD Survivor: Farewell I
I'm swinging in before the bell and taking Dreamer's advice to heart about paying attention to what other people are voting for.
I must admit, I've always thought "Life's Been Good" was a tad overrated, so I'm voting for that one again. And I'll join Brooke in voting for "All She Wants to Do Is Dance" to hopefully shore up against some others, even though there are aspects of that I enjoy.
So, to sum up:
Life's Been Good
All She Wants to Do Is Dance

Re: Eagles DVD Survivor: Farewell I
Wow, I love watching them do Life's Been Good and All She Wants to Do is Dance - I love watching Glenn dance! This may not make a difference but I vote for
Funk #49

I can help somewhat, KW. DailyMotion has some of the performances available.

Wow - I totally agree with you, groupie. These are two of my favorite performances on the DVD. I'm beginning to wonder if I'm watching the same DVD as some of the others. :wink: :grin:
Well if I vote for the songs I wanted to this round, it'll just force another tie. So, since I have neither the time or desire for every round to end in a tie, I'll choose something else ...
I cast my votes for Hole in the World and Desperado.

But, in this game, isn’t our primary focus supposed to be voting on the overall entertainment value of these performances. I know folks have different criteria for voting, and there is nothing wrong with considering whether they are solo songs, songs from a particular album, or sung by a particular band number, or how much you actually like the song. But, ideally when we consider a performance, shouldn’t we be discussing things like how entertaining it is, and how much emotion it evokes, or how much the synergy there is between the band and the audience, and the effectiveness of the band’s technical performance? Otherwise, it seems like we are missing the point of the game. JMHO

Re: Eagles DVD Survivor: Farewell I
I agree, Dreamer. I thought we were voting on performance not if we don’t like the song or it’s a solo song. IMO Life’s Been Good and All She Wants to Do Is Dance should had stayed longer.
I am voting on performance. IMO When voting for performance, half of the songs were not fun other than a few of them. The two songs I voted for was kinda boring.
