VOTE THE GIRL FROM YESTERDAY

Tbh, based on the versions of songs we're voting for, at least The Girl from Yesterday is genuine (either studio or live, wherein overdubs are less probable), whereas Life's Been Good is fake here, with overdubs and all. That's what really turns me off for that song. If Life's Been Good was there generally, I would've definitely voted for TGFY. I still and always will dislike Eagles Live. Such a fake live album, made worse that I can clearly differentiate the overdubs.

I cast my vote for Life's Been Good.


A word in favor of Girl from Yesterday:

It's got lovely harmonies and Glenn sings it with a great deal of passion:





















Beautiful!

Are we voting for live versions of the Hell Freezes Over songs as per the DVD? Or are we voting off the studio versions which they gave in the live album?

We are using the CD versions. I had totally forgotten they were not the same! Glenn still sings it with beauty and passion.

Understood. Either way, I'd have voted off LBG. Excessive overdubs, especially if I personally got proof, sour the audio.

Also Soda did you know that LBG was also performed with the Eagles before release?

And also btw, even 1976 The Forum releases on the Hotel California 40th Anniversary Edition were overdubbed lol

I did not know that! How interesting. However, at that time, it was not presented as commercially released Eagles song like "One Day at a Time" was, since Joe was about to release it as a solo track. It was performed much like "Help Me Thru the Night" and "Turn to Stone" were with the Eagles. 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.

Glenn does a lovely job singing TGFY and Don adds some really nice harmonies. I’m afraid that isn’t enough to make it a better tune than LBG, though. I just heard someone singing karaoke LBG the other night at a local bar; that’s how popular and well-known this song is even after all these years. It has endured.

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?

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well another close round. I think Glenn's vocals on TGFY are outstanding, but I'm not crazy about the lyrics - the woman comes across as pretty pathetic, so ...

I cast my vote for The Girl From Yesterday.
