Inquiries for Longtime Concertgoers...

Freypower- “it has been dropped”? As in, from the set list? If so... whoa! Who authorized that?!

This is just speculation, but perhaps NKIT was a bit of a vocal strain to sing every night.

…and just for the record, I was merely expressing irritation regarding their current renditions of NKIT, not attempting to detract from the brilliance of the Frey vocal performance. One particular portion of a song receiving the “favorite” notation does not equate it receiving a concurrent accolade as “the best.”

They haven't played it since at least 2007 (possibly earlier). And the person who dropped it was Glenn Frey, who also dropped Tequila Sunrise and Already Gone, which he also sings.

Yeah! Pity so much of Glenn stuff has gone. I regret that I've only seen him do AG, TS, NKIT and YBTTC once. What I wouldn't give to see a Glenn solo concert some time. (soon??)

Regarding the third verse to Tequila Sunrise: I can tell you that the song was performed with all verses (including "go to Mexico") by the Eagles at Holy Cross University on November 11, 1973. I have a recording of this show.

Someone has mistakenly reported that the verse was written and performed for HFO, which is not the case. I don't know why they dropped the verse for the Desperado album and subsequent performances prior to HFO.

Maybe it was to shorten the song. I'm an old recording engineer from the era of vinyl, and we had to be careful with the time-length of sides. The longer a side ran, the narrower you had to preset for the the grooves made by the cutterhead, resulting in less volume and low-end. It wasn't unusual to edit a few seconds out of songs to get the overall time of a side down.

Thanks mopro, and welcome! Cool that you got to see them so early. I always wondered why they didn't include that verse of TS on the album. Your theory is one I hadn't considered before, but it makes sense.

me too!

I just love that shirt.

Might be worth adding, the third verse of TS also features in the Netherlands 1973 gig on my new best friend the Earlybirds DVD - the same one the How Long video was taken from (that they reference in the HOTE doc). It's quite a nice rendition actually: Don, Glenn and Bernie all on acoustic guitars (no mandolin or electric) and at some points it is just almost Glenn singing on his own too. I don't actually know what Randy does on it - you can't hear any bass whatsoever, so perhaps he was on acoustic too?

Setlist.fm doesn't have the setlist for that specific show but the link will show you other setlists from 1975 so imagine the Wembley one was similar: http://www.setlist.fm/search?query=e...rtist=6bd6bede
