learning more about the eagles

[SilverAcidRayne]

So i had a horrible bout of insomnia last night and i decided to update my spotify playlist of the eagles with some live music. and i have to say i absolutely LOVE this band even more now. King of Hollywood i love that song

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well SAR - One thing's for sure ... the more you listen to unfamiliar Eagles' music - the more there is to love. And once you're done with that, you'll need to start on each member's solo catalog. Being a hardcore Eagles fan has a lot to offer.

[Glennsallnighter]

Yes, and the more you know, the more you will WANT to know!

I must say the 'After Hours' CD is incredibly relaxing and I often fall asleep listening to it.

I love to listen to the deep cuts from the Eagles Albums. Sometimes I will cobble together a playlist that does NOT include any songs that I have heard live.



You are right, listening to the solo stuff, especially Don and Glenn's is great.

Tim and Joe's stuff is ok, but I think probably 1/2 or better of Glenn's and 3/4 of Don's solo stuff is Eagles Quality.

I love Glenn's "Glenn Frey Live" Album from around 92-93. His voice is top notch in this and the songs are great. (The DVD is better, has more songs) but the album is awesome.

When the Eagles launched their HFO reunion, one thing they got a lot of credit for was, not doing medleys. Something they've stuck to ever since.

Glenn brushes through his Eagles hits with a shortened version of Peaceful Easy Feeling and a medley of Lying Eyes and Take It Easy on Glenn Frey live but does do a fabulous version of Wild Mountain Thyme.

Would have loved to experienced the British (Irish) football crowd chanting but it doesn't make good repeated listens on a CD.

I must say the 'After Hours' CD is incredibly relaxing and I often fall asleep listening to it.

I have been known to fall asleep with the radio on and then be abruptly woken up in the middle of the night by a Joe Walsh track being played.

So if I ever need to be brought out of a coma....

[BillBailey1976]

I had forgot about the Medley.....yeah that's a cringe-worthy moment. I didn't mind the shortened PEF, but that medley had major cheese on it.
I wish he'd gone ahead and played both, and left out the atrocious "Love in the 21st Century"
I really liked Smuggler's Blues and The Heat is On, from that CD. Also, not a huge fan of swapping songs, but I think he does a good job on Desperado.

that is exactly whats going on. i want to know a LOT more lol you know whats weird also i did see After Hours being advertised and i didnt really pay it no mind all because i thought it was a greatest hits record. but now im excited because i have yet more material to cover

When they performed Seven Bridges Road, the audience would invariably give a big cheer when the music stopped, then realise that the song hadn't ended when the band started singing the last accapella verse. This meant the cheer at the end of the song becomes a little unsure and a little more muted than the cheer before the song ended. I'm not surprised the band skip the last verse.

That is true, F50. Whenever I hear the crowd cheering at that time I want to tell them to shut up, the song's not over!
