He's really well-spoken isn't he? And he clearly still enjoys playing. Thanks for posting.

Don performs acoustic versions of Tequila Sunrise and Hotel California at last month's Acoustic-4-A-Cure Benefit Concert. He dedicates TS to his ex-bandmate Glenn Frey and says it's the reason he stopped drinking. He also cites it as one of his favorite Glenn songs.
His part starts at 46:00. It's kind of odd to see him without the double-neck guitar on HC but it's also nice to hear a different take on it.

Don’s new bass player Jeff Coffey (ex-Chicago) sings “Take It to the Limit” at 10:40. Also, Don continues to pay his respects to Glenn by dedicating PEF to him (15:25). There was a standalone video of TITTL but I can’t find it now.

Don has such a good band, such a great player. If he'd just be willing to hire even ONE singer he'd be the best Eagles tribute band out there. And if he hires two singers, even better. I absolutely love his guitar playing, and his band is excellent. But if I'm honest the vocals are grating on me ever since I heard them live. I always used to argue for his singing against Don and Glenn's claims of him not being a singer, I was going off of YT videos but when you hear it live, it's so processed and it doesn't do his playing and his band justice IMO. Get a singer or two and they'd be the best tribute band, for me anyway. The music is excellent.
Still, it was great to hear him playing guitar live. Always will be one of my heroes.

I don’t mind Don’s voice; when I saw him perform live I thought he was fine. However I never had high expectations of his singing anyway and his voice has changed a lot since the 70s/80s. I knew that going in. He must know his own limitations since he has others sing TITTL. There are heritage acts performing now where the lead singer doesn’t sing great lead anymore. It’s unfortunate.
Still it wouldn’t be a bad idea to let Jeff Coffey (or someone else) sing a few more songs...Jeff did hit some high notes towards the end.

When did Don change bass players? I saw him two years ago, geez-doesn't seem that long though, and the guy he had then did a phenomenal job with TITTL.

I know this is pretty late, but I’m not a big fan of Don singing tequila sunrise. I just don’t see a reason for him to play that song. He should dust off Visions. I know a lot of people don’t know/ don’t like the song but I like it and at least he wrote and sang it.
