If each member had only 1 solo song in the set, which would you want it to be?

[cynd1231]

Somehow I can't imagine them eliminating ALL solo material but I won't be surprised to see it trimmed considerably. I agree that it's an EAGLES show but if they still feel compelled to throw in solo stuff then pare it down to ONE each and focus the rest of the show on the whole package.

That being said, if you had to pick just one solo number for each of them to do, what would you like to hear? My choices:

All She Wants To Do Is Dance (always gets the crowd jumping)
Rocky Mountain Way (show-stopper)
You Belong To The City (just a personal favorite)
Parachute (I think this would be awesome in Eagles five-part harmony)

Soda....should we make this a new thread?

Soda....should we make this a new thread?

Done!

This is an interesting topic. Here are mine:

Glenn: "The Heat Is On" - it's not my favorite but it's a fun song, it was a huge hit, and thanks to its use in sports everyone knows it and can sing along.

Tim: "Every Song Is You" - the Eagles would sound great harmonizing on this one.

Don: "Boys of Summer" - everybody loves it.

Joe: "Help Me Thru the Night" - yeah, we love Joe's rockers, but the Eagles sound magnificent on this.

Cynd, I agree with you on everything except RMW. It is a crowd favorite but since you asked what I would like to hear, I'll go with Walk Away. I also love In The City (although technically is it Joe solo ot the Eagles?) but WA really rocks!

[Troubadour]

I'm with Cathy on Walk Away. Love that song!

I'd also rather hear Don do Boys Of Summer than All She Wants To Do Is Dance. Boys Of Summer never gets old.

[cynd1231]

My only issue with Walk Away is that it isn't really Joe, per se, rather it was originally The James Gang.........maybe I'm splitting hairs on this one but I really think of RMW as one of Joe's signature songs.

True, but he does it in Eagles shows now, so that's good enough for me!

[luvthelighthouse]

Glenn: The One You Love

Don: Boys of Summer

Joe: Walk Away (Since it's on his solo Can't Argue w/a Sick Mind)

Timothy: A Good Day

Now this is for "my" personal pleasure. If I had to pick for the masses I may choose differently.

[cynd1231]

PM, I understand your point and don't dispute it....was just stating my own opinion. And just for the record, Walk Away is one of my personal favorites because I saw The James Gang play it live several times when I was in college. I can think of a LOT of other songs I might choose to ALL of them and can't really disagree with anyone's choices.

The thing I love about The Border is that there are NO WRONG choices or opinions!!!!!!!!!! EVERYBODY'S RIGHT

Hey, no offense taken. It's a great topic and I'm glad you brought it up!

Tim - anything from Expando. Parachute or A Good Day would probably fit the Eagles style the best.

Joe - if not Rocky Mountain Way, Turn To Stone

Don - The Boys Of Summer

Glenn - ANYTHING.

POMPOY would be ideal, a song which astoundingly has never been performed live in its entirety. But if not, I don't think he should do one of his big hits. I would go with something like Strange Weather or River Of Dreams. There are no harmonies on ROD but the Eagles would make it work.
