Discussion of Eagles Documentary "History of the Eagles"

[NightMistBlue]

Hey, does anyone know what song is playing at around the 29:15 mark of the first disc? It's just after Glenn and Don discuss what they had for breakfast. An announcer says "Ladies and gentlemen, Linda Ronstadt." Then the song plays for a few seconds. To me, it honestly sounds like the intro to Born to be Wild by Steppenwolf.

Is it her version of Jackson Browne's "Nightingale"? The Eagles covered it on their first album.

This transcript of the movie doesn't have timecode markers but it's a verbatim account of everything (including lyrics from the music snippets): http://www.springfieldspringfield.co...agles-part-one

I used it to figure out what Poco song is playing when they talk about recruiting Randy!

Another question, at the 1:07:30 mark of disc 1, there's a photo of David Geffen. Is that Mama Cass (Cass Elliott) behind him?
It's at the part where the band is pissed at Geffen for having half of their publishing.

It might be Laura Nyro. Can you do a screen capture?

Unfortunately, I don't see any lyrics of the song I was talking about. The transcript skips from "Ladies and gentlemen, Linda Ronstadt" to one of Linda's interviews they used.

No, I can, but a quick Google images found the photo I was talking about.

Yep, that's Mama Cass. And Glenn's one-time sugar, Joni Mitchell

I thought that that was Joni Mitchell beside him.
I'm happy to know that my eyes aren't deceiving me

So the lyrics you heard weren't "if the same thing happened to everybody
that just happened to me..."

If it's the part where they're playing backup for Linda Ronstadt in 1971, the song is "Lovesick Blues."

Yeah, that's the song. I rewatched that part and I could hear Linda sing those words underneath her interview part.

I was watching part 2 tonight before bed, and I noticed that during the HFO rehearsal footage and the video, Don Henley had a wrist brace on his left wrist . Anyone know why? That's the only time I've seen him wearing one while playing? Did he injure his hand?
