Welcome, GG. I agree with you about That Girl. It's a beautiful song. I loved the way you described how he changes his voice.

That Girl is one of my favorites, too. It's so romantic. I love that way he sings it in this vulnerable, yearning, yet strong vocal - the kind of vocal that makes you realize there's no one who sings like Glenn. And lines like "the raindrops are falling, and I feel like calling that girl" are so... Siiiigh. You know, lyrically, that doesn't look so remarkable but it's the emotion in his voice that sells it.

In case you didn't notice, GG, I think Glenn is ALL THAT and a bag of chips! But don't get me wrong, I love the other guys, too.

Welcome GG! I'm sure you'll like it here,

The Glenn shows sure were fan-tabulous!!

Welcome, GG. I agree with you about That Girl. It's a beautiful song. I loved the way you described how he changes his voice.

Thanks Freypower! Sodascouts -- I agree! He is all that and a bag of chips!

My favourite Glenn song is one he didn't do Friday night called That Girl. That is an old song from his first solo record. I bought it when it was newly released and I loved it immediately. I may have a new favourite though with I Love to Watch a Woman Dance. His voice sounded so sexy on that that I wanted to be the woman he was slowdancing with... badly. I don't want to get too personal but Glenn was so sexy on Friday that by the end of the show I was fantasising about him doing some very naughty things to me. My husband reaped the benefits of Glenn's charms. LOL. The way his voice got this growl in it on rockers and bluesy numbers, then would be so smooth on ballads... he can still sing with the best of them. His playing was great too and it was a treat to hear new Eagles music. I am mad at myself that I missed him when he was at Casino Rama last year. If he ever comes back here I will be there!

GG, I welcomed you in another thread, but hey, I can welcome you again! It's great to have you here. I've just quoted your whole post here because even though I couldn't be at his shows (how I longed to be there... ), I can just imagine how wonderful it must have been. How far from the stage were you sitting? I haven't had the pleasure of hearing "I Love to Watch a Woman Dance", but I know what you mean when you mention how sexy Glenn's voice was singing that song. I've experienced that listening pleasure in many of his other songs, and believe me, my thoughts have been pretty impure as well . I'm single, though, so I don't feel guilty! Okay, Glenn is attached, so I'm a bad girl, I know...

I absolutely agree with you regarding the versatility of his voice. He is simply a great singer, and I can never get bored listening to his voice range and the variety of songs he sings. He blows me away! And then he's so gorgeous too... the whole package. They don't make 'em like that anymore...

I also love "That Girl". It's beautiful, gentle and romantic, and I wish he was singing it for me! I think "No Fun Aloud" is probably my favourite Glenn album, although it's a difficult choice. I also love "I Volunteer" and "She Can't Let Go" - equally aching and romantic. The song I'm playing to death at the moment is "Love in the 21st Century" from "Strange Weather". I just love his performance of it in "Live In Dublin". He is just super-sexy, and that guitar solo is something else.

Soda, I love your description of Glenn - all that and a bag of chips indeed! Maybe Glenn would prefer a more "livin' right" description: perhaps "all that and a basket of fruit"? Nope, doesn't have the same effect...

I think "That Girl" is one of the best songs on NFA, I've been trying to learn the triangle parts.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I love That Girl as well. Actually, I like every song on NFA - it's almost tied with Strange Weather as my favorite solo album. However, my favorite of all the ballads on the album is I Volunteer. I just melt everytime I hear it.

[sodascouts]

Mrs. F, I'm afraid I can't take credit for the slang expression - it's really common in America. But I feel it does fit him, lol.

Zermie - I think I saw a transcription of the triangle part for That Girl on Ebay for $9.99 - you better hurry and get it before someone else snatches it up. But be careful about sniping - triangle players can get downright vicious. I think it comes from that whole "my instrument isn't as big as yours" complex.

Dreamer - his voice when he sings "But you still don't know, you don't that it's me who really loves you so desperately" has such anguish in it that it makes me go "aw" every time! And No Fun Aloud is right up there with Strange Weather for me, too - a close second.

[Freypower]

Zermie, I swear I will think of you the next time I listen to that triangle part in That Girl.

I rather like the 'oooh I'm gonna love her till my (pause) dyin' day' part followed by the rather sensual 'yeah'. I'll stop now.

Thank you for the welcome Mrs. Frey -- love the name LOL -- and everyone else. I was sitting in the centre floor section about fifty metres from the stage. It wasn't the front row but it was close enough to enjoy the view!
