Don Felder videos on YouTube and other video sites

Here is a link to a video of Don from a show this morning. Is it me or does he sing, "I heard a shimmering light?" I don't know much about Foreigner or Styx, but their singers sound really good, especially the guy from Styx. I didn't see this video in the other threads for Felder news today.

Thanks!

Yeah, Felder made a little mistake there, it happens to the best of 'em.

Great performance by everyone!

I don't see any problem at all with the corporate show video. As far as what Glenn Frey would say about it, I couldn't care less. The man (DF) is as genuine as they come and is still in it for the love of music. I really don't understand the Felder bashing. I think Don's live shows are great and he is not as bad of a singer as people make him out to be, either.

Well said, Austin! I totally agree!

I thought they all sounded great! Should be a fun tour for them all!

Here's a link of Don singing two songs on the Arsenio Hall show last night. He was looking good and sounding good.

The videos of Don performing “Hotel California” and “You Don’t Have Me” on The Arsenio Hall Show are also on YouTube:

Full version of "You Can't Have Me"! Cool!

He still looks great and that smile will always make me feel good. However, and I know I will be slaughtered for saying this, I don't like how he plays his own solo in Hotel California anymore. He has even changed certain notes along the way. Musicians will know what I'm talking about when I say that I hate all those E - D sharp pull-off's that used to be E - D's. Maybe he's thinking of a harmonic E minor scale, but the song isn't in the harmonic E minor - not even during the E minor chord. But most of all, they just sound bad to my ears. Like he's playing it wrong.
The whole solo sounds a bit "interpreted" and nervous these days as opposed to the beautiful and smooth piece of music that it is on the record.

But that's the only musical complaint about the guy that I have. I sure am glad that he's still out there doing what he's so great at. Plus nobody in the rock world smiles like Don.

WalshFan88/Austin, are you around? Any thoughts about this? I don't know about music, but I will listen and see if I can hear the difference.

Agree that Felder's smile is luminous. Also, I love his speaking voice.

Edit: Yeah, I can tell the difference. To my uneducated ear, I guess I would describe it as "cheating" - it's like a little smoother or something, like he's glossing over some of the cooler parts. Anyway, I guess that's his prerogative. He sure looks and sounds good.

p.s. I did not know that Arsenio Hall is still on TV
