Set List Choice for Bernie

[sodascouts]

I love that Bernie is back for the current tour. He's doing "Train Leaves Here This Morning" with the band. That's cool, but there's other songs of his I like better. I'm curious - if you were going to choose an Eagles song for Bernie to play on the tour, which would it be?

For me, it would be "Earlybird." I like "My Man" the best, and honestly I prefer several other of his songs when I'm listening to the album versions, but when he gets going on the live version of "Earlybird" - that solo at the end - DANG. It shows his stuff like no other song during live shows. Plus, since it's on the first album, it would work with the quasi-chronological setup they have now where he comes out on the second song.

Bitter Creek. I love his guitar on this and the harmonies.

(I'd like Outlaw Man, too, so maybe I just want the entire Desperado album)

My Man would be neat, too. Just not Journey of the Sorcerer.

Well I went with Twenty-One. My top three Eagles songs by Bernie are My Man, Twenty-One, and Train Leaves Here This Morning. I'm not sure how well My Man would play live, so I went with the more uptempo song. As many of you know, unlike Soda, Earlybird is among my least favorite Eagles songs, so I'll pass on that one.

Well, we're all over the place so far! I voted for TLHTM. I like it so much more than I used to. I really like My Man and Twenty-One too. Hard choice!

I am sticking with Train Leaves Here This Morning as I have never liked Earlybird & I don't think Twenty-One would work. As for My Man... it's too slow. I like Bitter Creek but not all the 'doo doo doo' stuff at the end.

TLHTM is OK but it's probably not the best he ever did. His two OOTN songs, JOTS and IWYP, both of those are very 'meh' indeed. Earlybird is decent but I'm not super-keen on it, ditto Twenty One, probably the weakest song on Desperado. That leaves Bitter Creek and My Man. On the basis that it would fit in quite well with the tempo of the concert at the point (very slow and acoustic), and that it's not a personal tribute, I'll choose Bitter Creek as the best choice. Though My Man would be a fine inclusion too later on, perhaps after BOML / just before the break.

I loved JOTS but I don't think it would work live. I think it is more of a stand alone. I would love to hear Bitter Creek.

I'm sticking with Train Leaves Here This Morning...love it...

[The Thrill Is Never Gone]

I think My Man, Bitter Creek, Twenty One, TLHTM are all awesome songs. Along with JOTS. All of Bernie's songs were great. Those 4 members of the group were great together. They were the best of the bunch.

I'm sticking with TLHTM - I love it, especially after hearing it live. That said Earlybird wouldn't be bad either.

I kinda wish they'd bring back the old How Long and do it like they used to, a bit less perfected/processed and Bernie on lead and sit on the road cases (I LOVE that.)
