Thanks Mary, I wish Glenn and Don would consider giving him full member status but it is complicated and I'm sure Bernie doesn't want to ruffle feathers with the guys (Joe & Tim) who have been so...
I think you are missing my point. Bernie sits out the entire 2nd set because he was not involved in that era. Joe could just as easily sit out the entire 1st set because it was not his era. Do I want...
Bernie IS an Eagle and should be given full status (albeit only if he wants it). I also see no reason why he couldn't stay up there to perform songs he wasn't involved in the recording (after all it...
Yeah, I had no idea he had a stint in the military either. He has always had such a great attitude towards his whole stint in the Eagles, remembering the good times over the bad. The way he accepted...
That's a great article. Filled in a few blanks and always interesting to hear the Eagles story from Bernie's perspective. As always, he proves himself graceful and a class act.
One interesting...
I don't believe "Saturday Night" has been in the setlist since the late 70's, and certainly hasn't since Steuart joined the band. So why have him learn a mandolin solo when Bernie can probably play...
He does play his banjo for "Doolin' Dalton> Desperado Reprise" but I agree, he could be given a showcase like the early days ("Blackberry Blossom" anyone?). I also love those guitar stings he does on...
So I finally got to see the great Bernie Leadon play with the Eagles and I must tell you I am completely gobsmacked. There have been many lineups of the Eagles but this one is especially unique and...
Curious if Bernie sang on both encores?
Bernie is getting a lot of press news on tour with the Eagles this year, but this one was specifically about him getting kudos from Linda Ronstadt in her new book Simple Dreams:
...
Actually Freypower, I was incorrect on saying Bernie was on 5 more than Tim so Sebastian is partially correct on calling me out. As you know, Tim didn't play on HC (Randy did) but neither did Bernie...
Because he IS an Eagle, plain and simple. He plays on 4 out of 7 studio albums (that's 4 more than Walsh and 5 more than Tim). Not trying to dismiss Joe or Tim, they've EARNED their status big time,...
Can't wait for the boys to come home, to the Fabulous Forum no less!
One of my favorite songs and Glenn's solo is one of his very best, just exquisite. Shocked to hear that they did do it live, would love to hear a boot of that!
1. Take It Easy - Leadon
2. Try and Love Again - Frey
3. Hotel California - Felder/ Walsh
4. Peaceful Easy Feeling - Leadon
5. I Can't Tell You Why - Frey
6. One of These Nights - Felder

The B-bender is the guitar that Bernie used to use on some of the early album songs and tours. Essentially his guitar strap would help bend strings to give it a twangy sound and emulate a lap pedal...
I must assume it was Glenn on record after seeing it here. I love Bernie's shout out "Glenn Frey!" before Glenn goes to town.
I'm just so fired up to see and hear that the B-bender is back!
Thanks timfan! You are right, Bernie makes his grand "re-entrance" at the 4:00 minute mark. Also curious if that's him playing the mandolin break in the shadows during "Saturday Night"
I want to add that this is testimony to what Glenn has always said that there really is not a multitude of bad blood between the ex-members (save Felder of course) and the band. Glenn, Bernie and Don...
I know he is just a "guest" on the new tour, but I can not begin to say how happy I am to see Bernie back up there playing with the Eagles. He must be having a blast playing with his old pals Glenn...
My dreams have come true! Can't wait to see Bernie and his fabulous Eagles this summer!!!
From Rolling Stone, interesting quotes from Bernie, Randy & Felder:

Sorry I missed this one soda. and yes, very exciting!
I soooo hope this happens!! As a major Bernie fan, I am super fired up!!!:
Q: Can you elaborate on the History of the Eagles tour that will take place this summer. You previously mentioned it will...
From this interview, chances of Felder making an appearance are slim:
During the documentary's post-premiere Q&A, Henley and Frey were asked if they have any current contact with former members of...
