If any of you Don fans out there would like to hear a demo of Leather and Lace featuring Don, here it is:

Leather and Lace Demo with Don

I also posted this at Eagleland but it got deleted.

Thanks for this one too Soda. Wonder why L&M would've deleted this one??? Puzzling, huh???

I'm just a hired hand working on the dreams I plan to try. The days go by...

Better safe than sorry I guess?

That is lovely, and very good sound quality. Great harmonies in the third verse. Thanks for posting it.

Glad you like it! It's off of a copy of a studio master reel I got in a Fleetwood Mac trade. You know, it's interesting. Stevie has an INCREDIBLE amount of demos circulating... I have over 500 myself, and there are people with more. Yet, the Eagles have almost nothing out there. That's why I thought people might like to hear this - a rare instance of Don before studio polish. He still sounds great!

I also have two demos of Highwayman with Don on them, but he's harder to hear there. Still, if there's interest, I'll post them.

I'd like to hear them. As you say, it's interesting to hear the 'raw' version. That is also the appeal of live performances. You know that any mistakes cannot be edited out. I am sometimes overwhelmed by admiration for the guys when performing live, either together or solo.

OK, I'll upload 'em, even if it's just for you, Kate! I love listening to demos too.

OK, here's the first Highwayman demo. Remember he is just doing backing vocals here.

And the second one:

Nice! I had trouble with the volume on the first one, but the second was good quality, and although Don is understated he just enhances the melody, and Stevie sounds great. Thank you!
