    You are right, Marcox. The End of the Innocence is a great song. However, just an FYI - it is a Don Henley solo song, not an Eagles song.

    I love The End of the Innocence, too - very beautiful and moving. It's one of my favorite Don Henley songs.

    Who here thinks it would work if the Eagles played it live, like they did with Don's solo songs The Heart of the Matter, Sunset Grill, New York Minute, Boys of Summer, and All She Wants to Do Is Dance? Could it be "Eagle-ized"?

    It's too heavy on piano. Unless Glenn was prepared to play piano, I am not sure it would work. What would Joe & the other musicians do? (assuming that Scott played drums).

    I gotta agree with FP here. I can't see this song being "Eagle-ized". To be honest, as much as I love HOTM too, I don't think that it was "Eagle-ized" very well either. The only line the others sang was "Forgiveness", and EOTI does even have that. However, I love seeing the Eagles do DL, BOS, and ASWTDID.

    The End Of The Innocence for me can be an Eagles song and not only a Don Henley's solo song. Well, Freypower Timothy play the bass (I think there is the bass in the song) and Glenn piano. Don H. sing and Joe can play keyboards. And Don F. can sing with Don H. (unfortunately he left the Eagles ).

    P.S.

    The E-mail of Nancy (GlennFreyonline.com) is "webmaster@glennfreyonline.com"? Because I think she change her
    e-mail adress.
    Someone can give me her new e-mail adress??

    That is the right e-mail. Have you been getting e-mails returned? PM me if you like.

    It goes without saying that Tim would play bass. That is why I didn't menton it.

    Even if Felder was still in the band, he would hardly have shared vocals with Henley as you seem to imply. He would have played rhythm guitar. If the vocals could be rearranged at all, Glenn would do some of it. I am thinking perhaps the 'who knows how long this will last' verse which has echoes of 'well the towns lay out across the dusty plains' in Doolin-Dalton.
