Thank you for posting that.
I'm impressed by his ability to talk for minutes at a time without hesitation, repetition and deviation. Also, I liked that Don, with support from his host, kept it positive. Even the subject of disagreements within the band was used as an opportunity to show how they collaborated with the story of the ICTYW solo.

Re: Don Felder in the Press/Blogs/etc.
Yeah, I was surprised to hear about On The Border, the song. Next time I listen to it I'll listen closely to try and guess which ones are Don. I don't think there's a solo and it's Glenn playing the "soul licks" during the bridge. Perhaps Don enhanced the intro - adding some guitars to make it more effective?
As for the new HC intro, here's what I never understood in his book. He writes that he got the instruction to come up with a new intro. Then, as I recall, he went away (to his hotel room or something) and tried to think of an intro. But when they did the gig he played an improvised intro anyway. Did he think of some phrases beforehand and put them spontaneously together when they played it live? That would explain it to me.

Re: Don Felder in the Press/Blogs/etc.
The bit I don't get about the HFO HC intro is he said it was improvised and he wouldn't be able to play it again so what did he do on the second night? Has anyone compared the into on the video with the 2nd night bootleg?
Where does he speak about On the Border? I missed it but I can't face listening to it all again.

When Don talks about his first session with the band (Good Day In Hell), he says that after that we was asked to add his guitar to some other tracks. He mentions Already Gone and On The Border. Seems that he played more on the album than I thought.

I've asked this before with no results, but is there someone who knows their guitar licks who would listen to the Nov 1973 bootleg of of GDIH and compare it to the studion version? I know the live version doesn't sound as good, but I'd like to know how much of what Don Felder contributed was new ideas rather than just playing what they had better.
