Re: Don Felder videos on YouTube and other video sites
Youtube is useful. I managed to listen to Airborne yesterday. I think it's a good album, but it doesn't really stand out as excellent. However, comparing Eagles albums to solo albums by Don H/Glenn H you can hear what Don F contributed to the Eagles sound. Even though Joe has a rocky background, he has a different style from much of what appeared on Eagles albums IMHO. My favourite song on it (after one listen) is 'Never Surrender'. IMHO the Allmusic review that implies that song is a second rate 'Life In The Fast Lane' is unfair.
Re: Don Felder videos on YouTube and other video sites
I love Don's voice and I love his version of HT. I also thought the Imus thing was OTT. I find Don's grin fine, as I think it's genuine as he's a pleasant guy.

Don playing Hotel California with Kiss minus Paul Stanley.

Thanks for that Chaim. Don's voice sounds tired but he looks good! It's cool he gets to perform with so many well-known musicians.

I loved watching Don play with Kiss, because I love both bands. 8-)

There's some Vegas footage of Felder and Styx on YouTube.
Here's Take It Easy.

Re: Don Felder videos on YouTube and other video sites
Don sounds kind of different singing Take It Easy here; his voice is less husky or something. You can tell he still enjoys performing. Thanks, F50!
Re: Don Felder videos on YouTube and other video sites
I wouldn't judge Don's vocals from this Vegas footage, as I think they are really poor quality audio. I have seen Don several times the past 3 years & vocally he has come a long way, He sounds much better than even when he was an Eagle. Ever since his album came out a few years ago & he toured as a solo act, he has really picked up in the vocals. There's no back up bunch of vocalists so he's stepped up his game.
If you have the chance to see him, do go. It's well worth it.
These videos don't do him justice.
Re: Don Felder videos on YouTube and other video sites
I understand cell phone audio is not the best. In the other clips from the Vegas show he sounds more like himself. It was just TIE where I thought he sounded off.
If he ever comes to my area, I will definitely try to see him. It would be thrilling to see the guy who wrote the music for Hotel California actually perform the Eagles' most famous, iconic song.
Re: Don Felder videos on YouTube and other video sites
Don has recorded a video for a string manufacturer. Naturally, the best parts are when he plays his guitar.
