Favorite moments from Farewell Tour 1 DVD
I was reading some old threads last night and saw Mrs Frey's thread about favorite HFO moments. I didn't see one for FT1, so I thought I'd start it. I might have to do this in 2 parts - I have many! I, of course, loved the whole thing, but here are the highlights:
Long Run - Don doing that little talking motion with his hands while he sings "People talkin' about us..." Also, when he sings to Joe, "Cause all the debutantes in Houston, baby, couldn't hold a candle to you."
Wasted Time - I just love watching Don sing this song and just give it his all - his eyes closed, his emoting. I especially love it when it's just Don's voice and Glenn's piano playing.
Peaceful Easy Feeling - I don't think I've heard the opening strains of this song sound as sweet as it does on this DVD.
One of These Nights - Don's drumming and singing lead and that great "Whoa-oo-whoa-ooh-whoa--ooh!" Those high notes! How the hell can he still do that?
One Day at a Time - Joe Walsh: "It's about relevant stuff." LOL! The song was a nice surprise. I'm always leery when it comes to new stuff, but I liked this right away.
Lyin' Eyes - Glenn: "...an old song...it's just about all we have" and his referring to his first wife as "plaintiff." :)
Boys of Summer - When Don strums the guitar to begin the first "I can see you..." refrain. I don't know why, but I find that simple move very sexy.
Already Gone - Love Don's intense face during this song or as I like to call it - his "I think something crawled into my drum set and died" grimace.
No More Cloudy Days - Like One Day at a Time, this was a pleasant surprise too. I was so happy to see that it's on Long Road Out of Eden (which I'll finally get Christmas morning - can't wait!)
You Belong to the City - Love the whole number, but especially the repetitive (and almost hypnotic) drumbeat.
Life's Been Good - I really get a kick out of watching Glenn's reactions to Joe's antics. Even Don looks like he's having fun with this song! My favorite part is when Glenn and Joe are shuffling across the stage and it looks like Joe misses a step or something. It cracks Glenn and Don up.
Dirty Laundry - So cool! I love watching Tim and Glenn strut around the stage and Don looks oh so cool playing the guitar. And I like the little 5-man hop that they do.
Life in the Fast Lane - Don: "Are you with me so far?" (Audience cheers) "Good!"
All She Wants to Do is Dance - Glenn's dancing is great! He's so uninhibited! Joe's little shuffle across stage is hilarious. And I love the huge grin on Don's face when he's playing with Tim.
Desperado - no explanation needed here. It's all Don, baby!
General highlights:
I love watching Don play the "stand-up percussion set" (for lack of a better term). Very sexy! I especially enjoy watching the synchronicity between him and Scott Crago. There are some great shots of them during In the City and Walkaway and their drumming is just flawless.
Okay, raise your hand if you think Will Hollis is just too damn cute? :bye:
I really enjoy the audience shots. Everyone looks so happy to be there (and why wouldn't they be?). I love watching them dance and sing along with the boys.
Wardrobe change: Don looked mighty fine in the first part of the concert, but I do like him in his denim and plaid shirts. I like that laid back, comfortable look that he has.
Bonus features: I'm liking Don's scruffy whiskered look and he smiles and laughs! I laughed when he mentioned the writer who said that they "loiter on stage...it's a little more dignified to loiter" (at their age).
Well, I guess I got everything in. How about you? What are your favorite moments?

Me too! I just love the "buddy stuff" between the guys. There's always so much talk about tension, that it's nice to see stuff like this. I know it's something they do all the time, but I still think it's nice to see :)

Same here! His voice is SO full of emotion when he sings this song! Gives me goosebumps!

One of my very favorites to watch and listen to! From Tim's bass in the beginning (he's always fun to watch because he seems like he's enjoying himself so much!), to the same part you mentioned with Don to the part at the very end where he adds another oooh while they're ending

One Day at a Time - Joe Walsh: "It's about relevant stuff."
I love that line from Joe and I love the "ooo la la la" background parts. I LOVE Don in his black suit with the brown shirt back there playing the percussion set!

Agreed! ;) A couple of other parts that I love..........there's a few parts where Don's singing and you can see Glenn singing along over beside him. So cute! And near the end it almost seems like Don's voice is getting raspy and he might be straining a little to hit the notes, he looks over to his right real quick and Glenn and Tim join him in singing some lines.

No More Cloudy Days -
I love listening to this song on this dvd. Glenn sounds so smooth! I love the harmonies!

This is another of my favorites to watch! Agree about the drumbeat! I love Tim's bass at the beginning and then he starts singing with Glenn. Another part that I love is right before Joe's solo, the camera is on Tim and he keeps playing the bass with his right hand and points to Joe with his left as Joe starts the solo.

Another of my favorites to watch! (I seem to be saying that a lot! lol) Remember earlier when I said I like the "buddy stuff?" Well this song is full of it! I love how much fun Joe and Glenn are having and then you see Don cracking up in back as well. But I really enjoy watching Glenn and Joe interact in this song......Joe will sing something or do something and Glenn will laugh......Glenn will do something and laugh and then Joe will grin............it's adorable to watch :D

Ah yes......the song that got my attention! LOVE watching it! I love at the beginning where the lights are down and the camera comes behind Joe and he's doing the moonwalk (or attempting it LOL) in place. I love how into it the entire band gets....it seems like they enjoy playing it!
Quote:
Life in the Fast Lane - Don: "Are you with me so far?" (Audience cheers) "Good!"
One of my very favorite Eagles songs! I love that part you mentioned! I also love when the last "life in the fastlane" has been sung.....and it starts to go into all the cool stuff at the end....when Don's drumming kicks up a notch and brings them back up to speed. I love it! He makes his "drumming face!" :D I also love glenn and tim's synchronized steps near the end. lol

Isn't that grin cuuuute?! :D Joe is just too much fun....I'd love to meet him! I love Glenn's confidence!

Me too!!! I love to see the two of them in sync like that and as much as I love to see Don on drums.....I also love to see him over there being multi-talented ;)

Well.......I just had to comment on most of the things you had mentioned because I love them so much too! But I'll have to watch it again to find my own and then I'll get back to you ;)
Great post by the way! I love commenting on things like this! :D
