History of the Eagles Live Disc Song Survivor Game

[Brooke]

I will go ahead and vote for Rocky Mountain Way because I just really don't care a lot for the talk box and I'm so busy at work I might forget to come back here. It's still a great song, but something has to go.

I think all the performances are just wonderful and the eye candy is very impressive!

But for me, it doesn't top New Kid In Town as far as a total band performance. The harmonies are totally incredible especially the last verse. You can hear Randy's high voice so well, and the whole performance is just amazing.

Exactly.

My first choice was easy. Now... I'm going to have to watch that disc again... I can't decide!

[Prettymaid]

I agree. It gets hard from here. These performances are all great in their own way.

The next song on my list is New Kid In Town.

I guess I feel about this one the way some feel about Lyin Eyes. Just not as much going on in NKIT. Glenn's eyes are closed almost the whole time, just as they are in LE, but I think I like the LE performance a little more than NKIT.

Before we get too far into the round I'd like put in a good word for Lyin Eyes.

I've probably mentioned somewhere here before that LE is not one of my favorite Eagles songs, and it's basically for the reasons WF has given; it's long and meandering, and I find myself losing interest after the first verse.

But in this performance they up the tempo, which for me helps tremendously in moving the song along. You wouldn't think that would make such a big difference, but for me it does. Also, performancewise, I love how Glenn looks up during the line and stares out at the stars up in the sky. And when they get to the my, oh my part and Don harmonizes the words with Glenn while the others harmonize with the ahhhs - that is absolutely beautiful.

I hope as we break down these performances during the game that you will put the disc in and watch it again to see what is being pointed out here. It might help you see something you missed before!
