How Long

[The Thrill Is Never Gone]

So for the country fans, what is your opinion of How Long? Even though it was on LROOE, JD wrote it in the early '70s, right? I really like it...I think it sounds like it could have been on an early Eagles album. Or is it over-produced? I wish they were playing it on this tour.

I do not listen to country music. I like the way they did it on the Earlybird video.

Prefer the version the Eagles did back in the 70s (they never released it as JDS has plans to put it on an album of his I believe), but I don't think it's that bad a song - probably one of the better things to come off LROOE. Agree it's more rock than country, but like many Eagles tracks it's neither one nor t'other!

I love both the raw live version of the song from the 70's, as well as, the more polished version from LROOE. They are, obviously, different, but are equally pleasing to these ears. I guess you could say I just love the song - period!

Reading this thread again made me remember how excited we were at the announcement of the album (see our guesses about who sang which song) & the video. I love the video, mainly because it is the only Eagles 'single' video where Glenn sings (most) of the lead.

I love that song, too, and like the video they made for LROOE. Especially the part in which they are sitting around with guitars informally.

I love it too!

Guess I should look for that on YouTube. Is it the same one mentioned in HOTE, and a small clip shown? Thanks!

Thanks for posting this Lamorna--it is all you said above about it! Love it!

This is it!

It is indeed! What I love about that version is the Round Robin of vocals, I wish they'd done more of that on record. As fans we're luckily there's career-spanning footage out there.

I just love this song
cause they all look hot and happy in the video .
