    Default Timothy B in the spotlight ?

    OK - we currently get "Boys Of Summer" "Funk 49" "Life Is Good", occasionally "You Belong To The City" ... but when was the last time Tim had one of his pre-Eagle/solo songs featured in concert ? I believe they DID perform "Keep On Tryin'" just after he joined the band but I'd love to see him do a few old Poco songs ("Starin' At The Sky" or "Find Out In Time"), or maybe something along the lines of "Playin' It Cool" or "Every Song Is You" ? Or how about the band harmonising on a version of "Big Wave" ...
    Surely after almost 30 years he should get a bit more of a look in ?
    Thoughts ??

    You are preaching to the choir! Timothy fan really aren't content w/his three songs per show. We want more... however, since he didn't have any "hits", it's doubtful we'll get more from his Poco or solo career.

    Although, I truely believe Keep on Tryin' would be a crowd pleaser and would love that added to the show. One of my personal favorites, Restrain would also be great... but I'm not holding my breath to get anything... heck, if they'd play Do Something, I'd be happier!

    ooohhhh...I can totally see them singing "Keep On Tryin"...that'd be GREAT! I think they could do a lot with that!

    It seems that our Timothy is content with his measly 3 songs (in Indy he did IDWHA, LWKUA, & ICTYW)...sadly, his fans are not...I'd love to hear they are doing "Do Something" too - I love that song!

    Heck, we were just glad he got three. Before now it's been two all the way!

    With even Glenn's solo songs dropped, I imagine a Tim solo song is HIGHLY unlikely. As stated earlier, the band did do Poco's Keep on Tryin' back in 1980, and it was great! It's such a short song that they could cram it into the setlist again without too much hustle and bustle, except for course the fact they'd have to work up those tight harmonies again.

    I guess I'd just like to see Tim get a bit more recognition than just being the bass player who sings a couple of ballads ! "Every Song Is You" would've been a perfect example of showing that he COULD sing upbeat numbers aswell

    I LOVE Every Song Is You and agree it could be arranged to work as an Eagles song. Probably ain't never gonna happen, but, yes, we can dream, can't we?

    Can't argue with you Malc, and if any Tim solo song is played with the Eagles, I agree that it should be Every Song Is You!

    For some reason Timothy has been pegged into the roll of a ballads singer in the Eagles. Heck, I'd never even heard Every Song is You until we played the Timothy solo Survivor Game here!

    I think it would be fun to see him do Top of the Stairs with the other three backing him up!!!!!!!!
