I love How Long, also. Glenn looks like he's having such a good time in that video! Plus, it's a great song.
BBF just cracks me up. I like the song. They're the party band AND "the help." And hiring Joe and his chimp as your security team -- LOLOLOLOL!!! Especially a pickpocket chimp. And the final scene is fabulous all by itself. It's perfect for the song, and for a group of guys who aren't keeping the bathtubs full of Budweiser in the hotel room anymore.
I loved the "60 Minutes" interview where Tim is talking about what he does after a show nowadays, and he said something like he goes to his room, takes a bath and "visits a book friend." Awesome.

Aw. Me too, Tim!
And count me among those who likes the song as well as the video.

I have a couple of friends who think the guy passed out on the couch in the BBF video looks like Don Felder......
Re: Eagles videos on YouTube or other sites
Yep - I think that's been mentioned on the board before by others. I can see a small resemblance.
Re: Eagles videos on YouTube or other sites
This is a video clip of “Funk 49” as performed by the band at the L.A. Forum opening night in 2014. Not only is it nice quality footage but it starts off with Glenn and Joe playfully trading off guitar licks. Did they do this at every show on the tour? They seemed to be having fun.

Love these two goofballs clowning around!
Re: Eagles videos on YouTube or other sites
Just saw that video that you linked to, Delilah. And to answer your question ... Yes - they had been doing this little routine for quite a while. IIRC, I believe they started doing it on the Long Road Out of Eden tour. They would switch it up and improvise a little each show, but they always did some variation of that intro. It was always one of those little things I always enjoyed and looked forward to whenever I went to a show.
Re: Eagles videos on YouTube or other sites
Thank you for answering my question, Dreamer. It sounds like it would have been a fun thing to see live.
Re: Eagles videos on YouTube or other sites
No problem, Delilah. Yep - It's those kind of fun little moments that made the shows so special for me.
Re: Eagles videos on YouTube or other sites
I absolutely loved that little routine they did beforehand. Sometimes it was longer than at other times; it wasn't always exactly the same. Just one of many little injections of personality on top of the fantastic music that made it an Eagles show even more worthwhile!
