    I want to come to the defense of a few songs that I think are great performances.

    First of all, You Belong to the City is so high-energy and is a perfect transition from the acoustic set to the rock ‘n roll set. The audience is loving it, and I can say from personal experience that it was one of the best received songs at the live shows. The song is so powerful the way it just keeps building and building in intensity that it makes it almost impossible for me not to really get into it.

    And then, there is Take It to the Limit. Now, I’ll be the first to say that no one can sing this song the way Randy does and I will never stop missing Randy’s ending with those incredible high notes. But, having said that, it is such a great song and has always been a crowd favorite. So, even without Randy and even placed in the middle of the acoustic set, the song never fails to get a standing ovation. It still has those amazing harmonies and packs such an emotional punch. The audience's enthusiasm is contagious.

    Lastly, I think Dirty Laundry is just plain FUN. Both the band and the audience are so into it. Not only is it a fantastic catchy song whose message resonates today more than ever, but I just love the old guys jumping. Call me shallow. And then, of course, there are those amazing guitar solos by Glenn, Joe, and Felder.

    One Day AT A Time and Take It To The Limit.

    Dreamer. I agree on Dirty Laundry. So much energy and then the guys jumping. You don't see that every day and we now see Don sometimes hop at the end of the LITFL. That's why I thought All She Wants To Do is Dance shouldn't had been gone so soon. A lot of energy, but I guess nobody cared about Glenn dancing. AS for YBTTC. I kinda missed Joe banging the drums with Scott at the end.

    Brothers for life. RIP Glenn

    I'm not sure I believe in fate, but I know that crossing paths with Glenn Lewis Frey in 1970 changed my life forever, and it eventually had an impact on the lives of millions of other people all over the planet. It will be very strange going forward in a world without him in it. But, I will be grateful, every day, that he was in my life. Rest in peace, my brother.

    I totally agree with you, shun about ASWTDID and Dirty Laundry - (but not so much about TITTL )

    The thing I look at with performances is even if they are solo songs - how much does the entire band get involved in the performance, along with how emotional and energetic the performance is, as well as, the synergy between the audience and the band. For me, that is what separates a solo performance like Sunset Grill from the afore-mentioned (as well as some others). Actually, those factors are probably what separates all the performances from one another and takes them to a higher level, solo or not, IMHO.

    I almost didn't vote for ASWTDID because of Glenn's dancing. So cute!

    Well right now there is a three-way tie between Walk Away, I Can't Tell You Why, and Rocky Mountain Way. I don't want to see any of them go yet, but I guess I'll go ahead and vote for my least favorite of the three ...

    I cast my votes for Walk Away and Desperado.
