Remaining Eagles honor Glenn Frey at the Grammy Awards

[shunlvswx]

I'm looking forward to the Grammys. Seeing David's, Glenn's, Maurice's and BB's tribute. The Grammys would probably be more a tribute show than a regular show which is fine with me. New generations need to see what is good music.

I'll be at my uncle's to watch the Grammys. He's recording it because of all of the tributes to the greats we lost this past year. I'm glad that the guys are doing this, but at the same time, it'll be hard to watch.

Just dusting this thread off for tonight.

I'm feeling very emotional today in anticipation of tonight's performance. Have you ever wanted something and not wanted it at the same time?

Very much so, PM, very much so!

This is interesting because if you scroll down you can watch the Eagles' version of TIE vs. Jackson Browne's version.

Roger Friedman mentions the pre-Grammy Irving Azoff tribute in his column today:

NARAS president Neil Portnow gave famed manager Irving Azoff the Icon Award and Irving– feared by many– almost started crying when he talked about Glenn Frey of the Eagles, his great friend who just died.

Thanks for the link, PM. Here are a couple of quotes from the CNN article from the show's producer and the Recording Academy's CEO ...

We couldn't think of a more appropriate way to honor him than by bringing together his bandmates and longtime friend and collaborator, Jackson Browne, to play an Eagles classic that forever changed popular music. It'll be an emotional moment for many of us -- one of reflection, respect, and celebration.

Glenn Frey's untimely passing was a huge loss for the entire creative community. For more than 45 years, the Eagles have played a significant role in shaping our musical landscape.

My thoughts are with Don, Joe, Timothy, Bernie and Jackson tonight - I can't imagine what an emotional roller coaster this must be for them. I know they will do Glenn proud.

Just reading NMB's post about Irving almost losing it almost made me lose it.

Nice to see that Joe was there at the pre-Grammy party.

I can't imagine what the 5 guys are going through right now, all of the different emotions they feel. I believe that all of the other tributes are being done by other artists, so that makes Glenn's tribute even more special.

I feel the same way. I am excited though for my current favorite artists that are performing and/or nominated, but this is already having me emotional today. I'm looking forward to the other tributes as well. I did see Earth, Wind, and Fire are going to perform tonight as well for Maurice White similar to how the other Eagles are for Glenn.

2 hours until it airs and I'm already emotional. I've been thinking about it all day. This is going to be difficult for all of us, obviously, but I can only imagine what it's going to be like for his bandmates and family.

I've been thinking about it all day, too. I'm wearing my Eagles t-shirt in support of their performance.
