Celebration of "The Long Run"!

[Brooke]

Happy Birthday to The Long Run!

It helps me remember them if I list them so:

The Long Run
I Can't Tell You Why
In the City
The Disco Strangler
King of Hollywood
Heartache Tonight
Those Shoes
Teenage Jail
The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks
The Sad Cafe

I really like all of the songs except Disco Strangler and Teenage Jail. They are just plain bad.

Even though King of Hollywood is sleazy, I really love the guitars and the dark, sexiness of it. I just don't dwell on what he is really singing about!

Favorites are Heartache Tonight and The Long Run.

OMG! Can it really be 35 years???? Love this album, Loads of great songs

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE LONG RUN


Have we done Survivor for The Long Run? Why not do one for the anniversary, even if we did one a long time ago...lots of new members who maybe haven't played??? Anyone?

Sorry I didn't change the style at midnight like usual, guys - it was a busy day!

But yes -
HAPPY 35th BIRTHDAY TO THE LONG RUN!!

I think we did a Survivor on this one relatively recently... I'll have to find the thread.

Happy 35th Birthday to The Long Run!!!

I love this album...it was the first Eagles album I ever bought...because I had to have I Can't Tell You Why...

[Zanny Kingston]

WOW 35 years!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE LONG RUN!

I was a teenager when this came out and I had heard Eagles songs before on the radio, but when I heard ICTYW that's what did it for me. I loved that song and still do. It's overall really a pretty good album and it has grown on me, there are times when TLR is just what I want to hear!

I just looked it up. Turns out it's been four years! My, how time flies! I'm going out of town this weekend and I'll be away for a week, though, so let me think about it and see if Dreamer and I can pull it off. That is, if there's interest...

I would love a re-run of any album / concert-based Survivor, they're probably my favourite series of threads on here. I'm not knocking the recent ones, but I would really love an Eagles one again, I think they're more inclusive than individual Eagle ones.

I'm interested in a Survivor game of The Long Run. I was just listening to the album this afternoon at work on Spotify. It would be my first time doing it for this album.

I enjoy the Survivor games too. Every since I became a member of this board last year, I participated in all of the recently Survivor games. I think Glenn's survivor game was my first one. I could be wrong.

I'm a little hesitant about posting this. It's typical Felder on the recording of the album.

Does that contradict what he's said elsewhere? Or just what other people have said?

ETA: He has a different version of the Heartache Tonight story in this one:

I don't know, UtW, but I'm certainly glad they scrambled and found Heartache Tonight for Glenn to sing! Poor thing! (being sarcastic there) And what a hit it turned out to be!

Why do these people constantly interview Felder? It amazes me that all he wants to talk about is what he did with the Eagles!

But, he's keeping their name out there by doing so..........
