On the other hand, "One Day at a Time" was explicitly promoted as a new Eagles song in order to help sell copies of Farewell 1.
    Understood for One Day at a Time. As for LBG, it was performed in the Hotel California Tour regularly in the USA. They did not do it for foreign venues though. It was apparently done at the Capital Center, Knoxville, Alpine Valley Music Theater, amongst others. Always close to the encore.

    I don't understand the dislike for Learn to Be Still...it's a beautiful song and it has great lyrics that for me at least have been applicable to my own life. It's better than the repetitive Hole in the World.

    However, I vote for Life's Been Good

    My vote goes to The Girl from Yesterday.



    This was discussed in one of the 40th Anniversary threads, I believe. The question came up when would it have been overdubbed and by whom?

    Yeah indeed TGFY is sung well. But yeah, LBG is better. But I still voted it off due to overdubs.

    And about the 40th Anniversary, yes indeed. I'll give an example. So in HC, Joe actually mucks up the first part for his solo, but it was changed in the release.

    While I knew the live album was fake & overdubbed, for some reason I thought that 7BR was about the only track which did represent what they sounded like live. (I guess I thought the version of LBG was fairly real too, but it isn't according to you).

    Then not long ago I discovered that part of Glenn's vocal has been removed from it & replaced with a second part by Don Henley. It utterly turned me off the song, which I vowed I would never listen to again.

    This is an extreme reaction on my part. I am well aware that this song will probably win this game. But to me it is a fraud. And even if I hadn't found out that information, I was bored with the song anyway. They didn't write it. It isn't what it seems.
    Yesss!!!! Finally somone recognizes my comments! Yes, Eagles Live is such a fraud for a live album! Thanks

    And yes, SBR is overdubbed to make it as "perfect" as can be. To use Henley for Frey's parts is just not right. I kinda understand the logistics part and all, but still. What's even worse is that the Santa Monica bootleg which I have contains a brilliant version of SBR as good as the released one. Why couldn't they have used that? The stuff they do...

    And for LBG, piano and certain drum fills and guitar parts were changed from what was done. But the best proof is the change in lyrics. The hilarious lyrics of "They write Tim letters, tell Glenn Don's Great" were overdubbed. The normal ones were sung originally.

    What Eagles Live basically is is a series of re-recorded album songs. Not really live per se.

    So I urge everyone who has to vote:

    SAVE GENUINE SONGS!

    VOTE OVERDUBBED RECORDINGS!!

    Interesting stuff here! I didn't know about all this overdubbing!

    And I like LTBS too!

    I will vote again for Life's Been Good.

    I don't wish to flog a dead horse, but those carefully placed audiences reactions in 7BR - are they dubbed too? I am thinking about the one after 'time sweetened honey' & I think there are a couple of others. I always liked Glenn's intro, the way he says 'I hope you like this' & his 'thank you' at the end. But I now find it meaningless. Anyway...

    Regarding LTBS it has been very helpful to me as an individual, but I understand the criticism of it.
