[Houston Baby]

I loved #3! So true!

[sodascouts]

LOL. That was a hoot. Loved this one:

"20. The image of guitarist/banjoist Bernie Leadon pitching the idea for “Journey of the Sorcerer” to his bandmates, perhaps using flip charts."

Only one thing - they misspelled Tim's last name. Tsk, tsk! Otherwise, great!

this guy talks about Eagle poker...looks like he got his information from a combo of Almost Famous, the History of the Eagles, and To the Limit.
Even though I knew some of this stuff, still a fun little read.

this is an old one from 2008 that may have been posted before...
a Don Felder interview where he talks about the Third Encore (among other things)

Q: What’s the third encore?

A: The third encore was one of the heavenly parts of being on the road that produced a hellish amount of guilt in my life. Before, during and after the show, part of our road crew would go out with bags of buttons—they were like little campaign buttons with a pin on it—and they said “3E” on them, which stood for the third encore, and find the most beautiful women in the arena and invite them back to this party with the Eagles at the hotel. There’d be somewhere between 75 and 150 women. And in those days I was the only married guy in the band. Everybody else was going there like they were fishing for tuna and were just pulling them out, throwing them up on the deck, going back, getting another one, it was out of control. A lot of drugs, a lot of alcohol, a lot of cocaine, Quaaludes, a lot of brandy, I mean, no excuses but most of the time I was fairly well intoxicated. So I started partaking in the third encore. For days after that, I ’d just be eaten up with the fact that I was being promiscuous on the road while I had a wife and kids at home, and three or four days later I’d wind up going back in just to get a drink and wind up with another woman.

But he wasn't the only married one engaging in Spread Eagle Third Encore activities at the time...was he? wasn't Randy also married and doing the same thing?

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yep - you are right, T&H. Don F. and Randy were the two Eagles that were married during their entire tenure with the band in the 70's.

[Thirsty&Hot]

that's what I thought...Don F. didn't quite get it right. maybe he was talking about even after Randy left...but still he wasn't the only married one to have to deal with the guilt.
