Glenn's slide playing at the end of Midnight Flyer probably wasn't totally "honest" in that genre, but that's what makes it different.
Well said. I think the Eagles evolved over time and adding Don Felder and Joe Walsh was a genius move. I hate that Randy and Bernie left the band they were so very talented and an absolute blast to see in concert.
