    On 2/15/16, the Grammy Awards show was held where Don, Joe, Tim, Bernie, and Jackson Browne paid tribute to Glenn by performing Take It Easy.
    On 2/16/16, his private memorial service was held at the L.A. Forum.
    On 2/18/16, the unveiling ceremony for Glenn Frey Drive was held in his hometown of Royal Oak, MI.

    We miss you so much Glenn. Hope you are rockin' the heavens.

    I've been remembering Glenn a lot today. It is the 41st anniversary of the release of The Long Run album, which features the incomparable Heartache Tonight. It is also the day in 2016 that Glenn's statue was dedicated on the corner in Winslow, Arizona. I am very thankful that Soda and I were able to be there standin' on the corner in Winslow, Arizona that day to witness the ceremony.

    We still miss you so much, Glenn. You will always be in our hearts.

    I was in Winslow in August 2016 and I really hope I will get back there at some stage in the future. Although at the moment travel is looking rather bleak.

    I was there many years ago before the truck and statue were put there. We took pictures but God knows where they are now.
    Wow - 40 years for TLR. HT is my favorite song on the album. Dreamer, you are so right - Glenn is missed so much.

    I'm so thankful I got to see it two years ago! Standing on the corner in Winslow, Arizona was a bucket list moment for me, let alone that I got to see Glenn's memorial there too!

    The first time I saw Glenn was when he played at the Troubadour. The next time I saw him it was with Don playing in Linda's band. It was a great time for music back then. The Troubadour, Whiskey A Go Go, Rose Room and many I can't even remember now.

    What a wonderful time! Was Glenn with Longbranch Pennywhistle, or by himself? I've wondered if he ever worked solo in the early days. Any details of those early shows would be appreciated!😁

    I saw Linda Ronstadt at UC Riverside gym back in the day. Glenn & Don were her back up band. Those were the very best of times and it was so great to be growing up in Southern California.
