Eagles Mentions in the Press (2006 - 2017)

OMG, that lucky b*st@rd Crowe! Got to live in the Eagles Nest house while they wrote OOTN. [clenches teeth] And owns a cassette of Lyin' Eyes that is "a two-hour real-time document of the writing of one of their biggest hits, and an audio snapshot of the collaborative process that would produce so many of the Henley-Frey songs that still fill the airwaves."

That tape should be in a museum, or a songwriting class! Seriously.

P.S. I wanna see the Neal Preston alternate boat shots really bad.

ITA with all of this! Wow!

He talks about this photo but doesn't include it:

Great read. (I definitely need to get a copy of the new issue of RS)
Man, are they young there! Love the tape patches on Glenn's knees.

Cameron got to be an actual fly on the wall. .

I believe that I've seen some of the alternative boat shots around here.

Actually, here's 2 from EOC. (Aren't these considered alternative shots because they weren't used?).

I would love to read an in-depth article/book on the band by Cameron Crowe. i'm sure it would be a little rose-tinted by his obvious affection for the band and its members, but that would be a nice antedote to all the stuff from writers who try to appear cool by repeating any rumour or speculation that shows the band in a negative way.

I want to hear the "Bad boys" song.

I want to hear the "Bad boys" song.

Me too! What can be done to persuade the band that they need to share the unreleased tracks?? One would think it would be enough motivation that all of their peers include unreleased tracks on "deluxe" ($$) album reissues.

Fans understand that these unreleased songs are not grade A quality - obviously, that's why they didn't make it onto the original albums. But the music is still important and fascinating.

Cool article! Thanks UtW!

Cameron Crowe has a treasure trove! Can you just imagine?!

I need to find this issue!

[Funk 50]

I was there, with tape recorder on, as they wrote "Lyin' Eyes" and "After the Thrill Is Gone," the title song and many others, including an unrecorded gem called "When a Bad Boy Meets a Bad Girl in the Night."

Now I know about it, I want to hear it. I suppose it could have been released with a less clumsy title in the intervening years.


Cameron's a great journalist but I'd have to question;

The Eagles opened the evening without an introduction. The lights lowered, and they began with an a cappella version of "Seven Bridges Road," quickly adding instruments and swinging into "Take It Easy."

In 1972 it would have been the "Silver Dagger" intro.
I've done a little research into Seven Bridges Road. Steve Young's 1969 original is a waltz. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpV83ovYAyY
The Ian Matthews (Fairport Convention) arrangement from a 1973 is the one the Eagles adopted; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mt2IFaCwTKk
It's really lovely.

We had that Ian Matthews album and loved his version! I thought he wrote it until Glenn announced that Steve Young did!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

This has been a fun thread to read the last couple of days - thanks for posting that link to The Rolling Stone article, UTW. Cameron has a treasure trove, indeed.

And I love all versions of 7BR, including Steve Young's original version. But, of course, I do have a favorite rendition that I consider to be a cut above the rest.

Great links...thank you.

No one could every say their talent doesn't run very deep. There are almost 5,000,000 views on youtube, uploaded in 2009. Their harmony is beyond awesome.
