Very nice find. I love Redbeard's voice....

Great interview! Glenn and Randy sound great and it's nice to hear them discuss things a little more "off the cuff." :)

[randysgirl]

Great find UTW. I really enjoyed this interview.

[Houston Debutante]

Ah, thanks Shun, love Doolin' Dalton and Desparado reprise, especially the last bit when Don sings against the other guys. Fitting tribute :thumbsup: (he looks so cute too!!)

OMG yes. I love this video.

[SilverMoon]

Here are the videos of the performances not included on the Hell Freezes Over DVD. The performances are good. The picture quality is very poor, but the sound quality is relatively good. My favorite performance is “One of These Nights.” Don Felder’s guitar solo is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful solos in music history and he really does a great performance. Timothy’s bass is audible and sounds awesome. The bassline can be heard throughout the whole song, especially from after Don Felder’s solo to the end.

IT'S NOT LOADING FOR ME WHY ISN'T IT LOADING FOR ME I HAVE WANTED TO SEE THESE FOR YEARS

ETA: OK, it appears to be loading now. THANK GOD. I have been desperate to see these for so long!

THANK YOU SILVER MOON!!!!!!!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well - I thanked you in the HFO thread, SM, but these are definitely worth another expression of gratitude! :thumbsup:

[sodascouts]

Such a freaking shame that the quality isn't better, but I'll take what I can get!

PEF - AMAZING. LOVE. Glenn comes off as so vulnerable and gentle when he starts it alone; the rest of the guys joining in then kick it into gear and you're like "YES. THIS IS THE EAGLES AND THEY ARE AWESOME." It's perfect.

OOTN - agreed that it's a terrific version and I love the solo, too. HOT.

HT - it rocked!

LM - seeing this video makes me like the song better. It's very elegant.

BOTM - Don's never liked to do this live for some reason, but I still enjoyed it.

We can just hope and pray the bootleg finds its way to people with better digitizing equipment who are willing and able to share. Until then, for these, I give great thanks!!!

[GlennLover]

Thank you, SM!!! I had only seen two of these videos before & I thought that I had saved them, but I must have lost them when I got a new computer. I'm sooo glad to see them again & see the others for the first time! :partytime:

[shunlvswx]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, SM. I actually been looking on Ebay for the second night since I heard its being sold on Ebay. No luck yet. I've heard the audio for PEF and BOML on Youtube, but its cool to see the video.

I downloaded these clips to my computer just in case its taken down.

[MaryCalifornia]

:applause: Yay SM!!:applause:

:bow:Yay Chinese youtube!!:bow:

It's like these songs haven't gone through the mixing board yet, the bass is so high in the mix, it's never like that w/Eagles songs, it's all I can hear in PEF and BOML, along with OOTN. A real treat for anyone trying to learn the bass parts in these songs! Also the background vocals on HT - Timmy never that high in the mix - so cool!!

Wow! Just when you think you've heard it all, something new turns up. Thank you, Silver Moon.

What are the chances of a 20th anniversary, extended DVD?

[DJ]

Great find. I like YouKu for the Eagles video's old and newer.

[Freypower]

I don't know if I am supposed to discuss these here or in the HFO thread.

As a Frey fan Lover's Moon is the undiscovered gem here. It is exquisite. I always thought it was but it really gains so much with Don harmonising & playing drums. PEF is beautiful but the guitar solo is very unfinished, and perhaps that is why it wasn't used. HT is OK but needed more energy. The other two are good.

[Houston Debutante]

OMG LOVE THESE.

Thank you Silver Moon!

Just wish they were better quality so I could see Don better.

Out of interest, I can understand Desperado, but why does Don do vocals only on The Long Run? If he's not on drums he usually has a Tele with him...

[Freypower]

Well, for some reason since 2001 he has sung the song with a hand mic. In my view if he wants to do this he should save it for solo shows, but after this length of time he won't change it. It gives him a chance to come down the front, I suppose, and be the 'frontman' that Glenn normally is. It allows him to interact with Joe a bit. It has never appealed to me, but I don't particularly like the song either.

The reality is there are other Eagles songs now where he no longer plays drums; Heartache Tonight being the major recent example, and sadly also Life In The Fast Lane, but he plays guitar on those songs.

What was the state of play before 2001? I can kind of understand why he did it for F1 (first song, perhaps getting a feel for the crowd or atmosphere, all four of them together etc) but it seems odd that he can multitask so well for stuff like OOTN and HC but seemingly passes on things like TITTL and The Long Run...

Of course he now does Tequila Sunrise on drums for the first time I think since the Desperado era, and there's new songs like Witchy Woman, D-D (and Reprise) and PMAIAR that he drums for. It's a very weird and inconsistent approach, but if it keeps him in shape enough to carry on then I don't mind.

They had not been playing the song before they fired Felder. They did not play it on the HFO tour (which I saw). They hadn't played it since they presumably played it after it was released, when he would have played drums. Then when they started playing it they did Seven Bridges Road where they all had hand mics, & then Don kept his mic & stayed down the front & sang The Long Run.

I think your second paragraph sums it up well, It's good to see him playing drums again on other songs. Regarding TITTL I think he prefers to be with the others for that song to do the harmonies; I don't know.

[WalshFan88]

I actually like his performance of The Long Run. I love the bit with Joe on the "couldn't hold a candle to you" bit and I like the song. It's pretty much their theme song still after all of these years. I love the slide guitar (moreso than on Heartache Tonight) and I just like the upbeat vibe about it. I like how Don moves around a bit on the song rather than being a statue like they are for most of the set.

[shunlvswx]

I think that's what I like about The Long Run too. He interacts with Joe (Couldn't hold a candle to you) and even Glenn when he sings "kinda bent, but we ain't breaking." I love when he does the talking hand signal when he sings "People talking about us. They got nothing else to do."

I like when Don interacts with the band when he's up front. When you stuck behind the drums, you don't interact with your bandmates. Now I like Don behind the drums. Don't get me wrong. That's where he's more comfortable at even when he's up front more.

I saw them do it in 2010. That is what I will miss about the upcoming tour; no LROOE songs. I am just glad I got to see them.

Thanks for posting the video, Mary. Timothy sounds and looks great! He has such a wonderful voice! I think that Don H. and Glenn should have let him sing lead on more songs.

[UndertheWire]

This is Jack Tempchin fairly recently. There's quite a lot of chat about songs for the Eagles and Glenn so I'm putting it here. He still sounds so fresh and I love his 1 minute songs.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR1WxE81cjA

[TimothyBFan]

I consider myself one of the lucky ones that did get to see IDWTHA performed a couple of times. So happy about that!

As for LROOE not being represented in the HOE tour, I'm sure it's been discussed over and over here on the board, but I don't understand why it's not included. Look how many years we fans waited for new Eagles material, how long it took to make the album and how well it was received. If that's not part of their history, I don't know why not. At least add How Long, which you can't deny as part of the long ago history.

[thelastresort]

This is the widely used Hotel Cali video on YouTube:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSvSsNSuVtk

One of the comments seems to reckon though the audio for this actually comes from the Eagles Live album. Anyone got any insight on that?

[Freypower]

I can't tell. I don't know enough about the two bass players. However I saw this video when it was released, and that was a couple of years before the live album. I find it hard to believe they could have suddenly dubbed later audio onto it.

[shunlvswx]

I love I Don't Want To Hear Anymore. A great song off of LROOE.

[chaim]

I can't tell. I don't know enough about the two bass players. However I saw this video when it was released, and that was a couple of years before the live album. I find it hard to believe they could have suddenly dubbed later audio onto it.

I don't have the live album anymore, but I remember that Timothy played some of those notes at the very end (when the bass is just repeating single notes) an octave lower than Randy did on the album. I seem to remember that on the live album a LOT more notes (every other note in fact) were played an octave lower than in this clip. I can't compare them, because I don't have the Eagles Live version...
So I think that the person who posted the comment might be referring to the last two notes (e and f sharp), which are played very low. It is of course possible that Randy played them slightly differently live as well.

[UndertheWire]

Here's Elliott Scheiner talking about how the band listen to the final mix of an album (ok, so it's probably being used to promote a product but the idea is interesting): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjhK0fTAzfM&index=14&list=PL8A35584080EA6CD7

There's also a video clip where he explains how he came to work on HFO.

A friend of mines posted this video on Facebook. This is The Race to Erase MS gala through the years. From the video, the guys were in 2009. I also know a guy who I follow his family's music was also there the same year as the guys. The guy I know is David Osmond. He's from the family of the 70s group, The Osmonds. He is shown just at the end of the 2009 clip. He and his father has MS. I need to ask him if he met The Eagles.

The guys pop up around 7:27 mark.

This may already be in the thread somewhere but I didn't have time to go back thru it to check. Anyway, I was poking thru YouTube a while ago and came across an unbelievable find: a HOTE video from the Antwerp show in May. It's 2h 43m 38s in length. The first 30 minutes is excellent video/sound but after that it's only sound - but it's live and all of the narratives are there! It's only been up for about a week. Enjoy it while it's still there because I doubt it's going to stay up for long.

[thelastresort]

Found this on YouTube before, it's the (often-told) story of the Desperado artwork shoot. Are any resident Don / Glenn experts able to guess when this is from? Just curious!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcTTdwv1Xp4

[Freypower]

As it says, it's from the documentary about Henry Diltz & Gary Burden called Under The Covers.

[UndertheWire]

The date on the documentary is 1999 but it looks like the interviews were from an earlier date. Maybe early 1994 going from the hair?

[thelastresort]

The date on the documentary is 1999 but it looks like the interviews were from an earlier date. Maybe early 1994 going from the hair?

Indeed, I thought the footage of the guys looked a bit older. Don however mentions talking about it with Glenn (or vice versa), so I therefore assume it's post-1994.

[Freypower]

My copy staters it was released in 2002 but the interviews were clearly done after HFO.

[UndertheWire]

The hair is similar to the Travis Tritt video which is why I thought it might be from just before HFO. The copyright mark at the end of the video is 1999.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I'd also guess that Don's and Glenn's interviews were given in the mid-90's HFO era. It's a very entertaining DVD and definitely worth watching for anyone who hasn't seen it.

[sodascouts]

Glenn looks pale. I think it might have been in late '94, after he'd been recuperating from diverticulitis.

[shunlvswx]

I also think that the interview of Glenn and Don was from 94(even though the documentary came out toward the end of the 90s decades). How. Look at Don's hand. That would definitely give it away. He's not married yet and from videos and pictures I've seen of Don, he wore his wedding ring a lot in the mid to late 90s. Glenn's hair definitely looks 94ish. Don's too.

[UndertheWire]

Here's an impressive version of Witchy Woman from 1977 (that should be 1976) with a long intro and lots of guitar. Unusually, the camera spends most of its time on the guitarists (but not the bassist). Glenn looks so like the caricatures. I'll forgive that bum note, too.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcLwneGLCEU

[UndertheWire]

Is it ok to put audio links in here? This is a long, long (maybe 2 hours!) interview with Bernie Leadon from 2013, probably just before he went on tour with the Eagles (I haven't got to the end yet so he may talk about that). He covers a lot of Eagles stuff and some I haven't heard/read before such as how Earlybird came to be written.

This is cool! LOL Don's Tex-Fro and Joe's tiny t-shirt.

Do you think the first half of the video is the feed from just the three guitars? I see Don and Randy playing but hear no drums or bass. It looks like Don is playing regular drums, not super quiet or anything...

If that was on July 9, 1977 it was Randy's final indoor show with the Eagles.

[UndertheWire]

If that was on July 9, 1977 it was Randy's final indoor show with the Eagles.
That's odd - I was sure I'd updated the date because the labelling on the clip is wrong. There's another clip from the same concert which has JD Souther telling the audience that it's Glenn's birthday, so it must have been 6th November 1976.
Here's that clip:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAoNKK32FiU

[thelastresort]

Both the elongated Witchy Woman and JD Souther-featuring BOML are from the Houston 77 bootleg.

[UndertheWire]

Both the elongated Witchy Woman and JD Souther-featuring BOML are from the Houston 77 bootleg.
I know I'm being nitpicky but setlist.fm lists two dates for Houston on the Hotel California tour - July 9th, 1977 and November 6th, 1976.

One of these was Glenn Frey's birthday, so I'm choosing to believe JD over whoever labelled the bootleg. By November 1977, the tour and ended and Randy had departed.

If you read through the comment on the BOML video, you'll see several comments about the date being wrong which is one of the things that lead me to check.

FINALLY a video from the HOTE concert section of Hotel California. Best performance on that disc IMO...

Can you imagine going to see them on this tour, HC being a big hit and big song at the time, and them OPENING with it?! So surprising!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

First of all, thanks for those Bernie interviews, UTW.

And I have the Houston, November 6, 1976 bootleg. I just checked it out and that Witchy Woman video is, indeed, from that show.

It would have truly blown my mind if I had been fortunate enough to see one of those Hotel California shows! :nod:

[sodascouts]

The one that many bootleg sites sell has been mistakenly labelled "Houston 1977" for a long time. It is actually the Houston 1976 show. The mistake gets perpetuated because they are doing HC material, but it is indeed 1976. Bootleg sellers are not always the most reliable - they almost never are the ones that recorded the show.

Wow - I got a chance to finish listening to Bernie's interviews with John Cowan that UTW posted. It was a great interview and well worth the time. I started off thinking that I'd just skip over the songs to save time, but NO! I listened to every single one of them from start to finish. I love these songs no matter how many times I hear them. :shrug:

I also thought it may be a good idea to copy UTW's post over in Bernie's forum since it is a rare interview from him. Hope that's okay with everyone.

I've found what appears to an early demo tape of the vocals for Take It Easy. I'd never seen this before, it was only uploaded last week.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4u3-3aoU4c

The arrangement is more or less in place although there are a couple of differences from the album version, most notably towards the end of the song where Glenn uses some different lyrics over the 'oooh oooh' harmony parts.

An interesting video - I hope more 'lost' material from the early days will show up, not holding my breath though.

There's an alternate version of "Take It Easy" out on the internet that was found on some old tapes. There are separate tracks for lead vocals, backing vocals, guitars, base and drums. The youtube video you linked to has someone's own mix in which they've boosted Randy's backing vocals. I can't remember where I saw the basic tracks but it was probably either a guitar or sound-recording forum. Maybe someone else can remember.

We do have a thread here on The Border about the discovery of the tapes. There were 2 songs. I think the other one is Witchy Woman, but I may be wrong about that. It was likely Chaim that posted it. I'll post the link if I find it.

The second song was Hotel California.

I wish the Eagles would open up their vaults and release some things. The early 70's clip of "How Long" that was briefly shown in HOTE, that from the Netherlands, right? They were able to brighten up the footage wonderfully, which is so dark in the unofficial version.

An official release of the BBC show would be cause for celebration.

I thought it'd be really involved and complicated but I kinda found out by accident. I was trying out some obscure browsers and while viewing something on YouTube the Baidu Browser popped up "Would you like to download this video?" with a yes/no option.

If Baidu can do it, Firefox, Chrome & Opera etc must be able to do it too... or you can always ask Google how it's done.

Well the History Of The Eagles documentary has been an undoubted success. Irving says it's been far more beneficial to the Eagles than a new CD could be so, at this point, I'd say another dvd is more likely than a new CD.

Bob Harris. of The Old Grey Whistle Test TV show fame, did say it can be a nightmare trying to find the owners of the copyrights to gain permission to broadcast/distribute old film but that was before the internet age, so things should be easier now.

I read something from around 2001 which said they had plans to release archive material recorded in 1976 and 1980. I think we've seen the 1976/7 footage but did they also film in 1980? Perhaps when they recorded the audio for the Live album?

yes, the 2001 statement, that announced the exit of Don Felder, had a whole stack of stuff they planned to do in the future. I thought the object of the exercise was just to dispel any rumours that the Eagles, after a few quiet, post HFO years, may be quitting.

I do wonder where the clip of Glenn introducing TBS (in Texas somewhere) on The Long Run tour came from...

And yes, I wish the guys would release some more official videos. They sat on the HOTE extra DVD footage for almost four decades with no mention of it at all (Felder alluded to it in H&H mind), so I guess anything is possible!

I wonder if that 1977 concert [included in the HOTE package] is complete though - it seems short. Weren't their shows at least 2.5 hours back in the day (and still).

Led Zeppelin have done a brilliant job in restoring and enhancing bootleg film and audio, and incorporating it into official product. The Eagles, by comparison to other groups I follow, don't seem to have the same zeal for re-issues and remasters. It's too bad really. And it's not like Azoff to miss lucrative opportunities, or so we're told.

Thank you, kind people, for the tips on downloading YouTube stuff. I live in darkness and ignorance when it comes to technology :)

[VAisForEagleLovers]

I wonder if that 1977 concert [included in the HOTE package] is complete though - it seems short. Weren't their shows at least 2.5 hours back in the day (and still).

NMB, a man that used to work for me was at one of the two DC shows in 1977. He said they performed and filmed those songs, then left the stage. When they came back and performed more, they weren't filmed. So, I'm thinking it's all they have. I don't know what they were thinking they'd do with the material. I'm not sure what the technology was back then, either, but I do know it wasn't like today where you can put a three hour concert on two DVDs and sell it at Walmart. Perhaps eight songs was the limit of whatever they were thinking they might do with it.

[thelastresort]

An awful lot of retro footage from the very beginning of HOTE looks like it was taken that night - for example, Joe wears the same Illinois shirt throughout and their hair and general appearance of most of them is identical. There's a lot of behind the scenes stuff like the curtain being lifted and them messing about in a rehearsal, so I'm not sure why they would go to all that length to film throughout the day then only film half of the actual production. Seems like a half-baked job. From what I can tell BOML was the final song that night, not TIE [1], so the film has been manipulated to some degree.

[1] - They leave the stage far too rapidly for TIE to be the last song, plus there is footage (and a really famous photo too I believe) of them all standing together to take a bow, Henley wearing an acoustic guitar. I know of no other song that Henley played guitar on back in the HC-era, so can only assume it's for BOML.

Like I said, they didn't film the entire concert.

[thelastresort]

Like I said, they didn't film the entire concert.

I know, I was just stating how odd that is. From what I saw in HOTE they easily had enough non-concert footage to make it into some kind of ultimate guide to a 70s rock concert and how it all came together. To do all that and then only film about half (I'm guessing they would perform about 16 songs, roughly 90s mins as per the bootlegs from around then) of the actual show just seems a bit, well, bizarre.

[Funk 50]

My favourite group Genesis had a very visual stage show throughout their long career. They pioneered the vari-lights and jumbo-tron screens that have enabled the whole arena tour industry to thrive. Unlike the Eagles, they were always on TV, always on the radio, bootlegs galore etc

They first released a video of one of their shows in 1982 and have subsequently done the same with every tour since but that first video included long segments of boring back stage footage interspersed with the actual stage performance. It's pointless and it ruins the document.

They said, at the time, nobody believed that anyone would sit through a video of a whole show without any breaks.

I can see why they wouldn't contemplate filming a whole show but as the 8 Eagles tracks on the DVD are from the start, middle and end of an Eagles show, I find it hard to believe that the cameras weren't running for, if not the whole show then at least a lot more than the 8 tracks they've parted with.

Hell Freezes Over 2 will be when the Eagles realize that YouTube is their friend.:thumbsup:

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Am I misremembering or didn't Joe say in one of the recent Australian interviews that they discovered an entire concert that they had forgotten all about, which turned out to be the D.C. show? Of course, Joe could have been speaking figuratively, but I always assumed that there was some major editing down of the DVD with the different sequencing of songs being so different from their normal set lists at that time.

I must not have been clear! It wasn't the start, middle, and end of the show. They did all 8 songs at once, then left the stage totally. At the concert my friend was at, it was a long time before they came back out, I guess the crowd worried they weren't coming back out. When they came back out, they did the rest of the show, sans cameras. He was there, perhaps he's not remembering it correctly, but he hadn't seen the DVD or movie on Showtime when I asked him about it. He told me all that and remembered 6 of the 8 songs. (He would not have told me if he'd been high as a kite, of course, and not able to remember...)

Dreamer, I would bet there may have been more that didn't meet the standards of the band even though they filmed over two nights.

[thelastresort]

I'm fairly certain when Joe says the firecracker line he is holding a Tele, Felder a Strat and Glenn is on his Old Black. None of the eight songs use that combination of guitars so that must have been filmed at some other point...

Sorry VAisForEagleLovers, I wasn't being clear. I'm doubting the accuracy of your friends memory. It'd be feasible for the band to film 8 tracks then come out and do a full show but not the (arguably) 8 best tracks followed by a second set of lesser tracks, plus the footage, as thelastresort cannily suggests, doesn't appear continuous.

Thank you very much for posting your friends comments VAisForEagleLovers but I think the Eagles could've released more live footage if they wanted to but for some reason chose not to.

I too doubt very much what VAisForEagleLovers' friend said. They would be virtually the ONLY rock band that I've ever heard of do that with a paying audience. I believe it was video tapped and not recorded to film. Meaning it wouldn't cost more to capture the whole thing. Also, Joe's guitar during the firecracker moment is a real clue. They are such perfectionists that I believe they pulled their favorite songs from a whole concert and don't want us to see anything that isn't absolutely perfect.

I wonder what the guys think of their music being used in the film The Big Lebowski. It seems to have been incredibly good for the film, not so good for the band.


Thanks for the link thelastresort.

The song, The Last Resort seems to be losing stock. It didn't even make "honourable mentions". After they performed it during the MTV, HFO reunion concert, I think a lot of people considered it the major omission from the HFO tour set list.

[Freypower]

10. Lyin' Eyes
9. Tequila Sunrise
8. New Kid In Town
7. Take It To The Limit
6. Peaceful Easy Feeling
5. One Of These Nights
4. Life In The Fast Lane
3. Desperado
2. Take It Easy
1. Hotel California

Entirely predictable list with only one of Glenn's leads in the top 5. If they flipped it around it would match my preferences rather more.

F50, there are quite a few songs I would place above The Last Resort in this type of list. The song just isn't that well known these days. I didn't expect them to do it during HFO. It's too slow. In any case this is the opinion of one person on one website so it's hardly representative of wider critical thought.

[Funk 50]

In any case this is the opinion of one person on one website so it's hardly representative of wider critical thought.

Far from it;
"For this list, we've chosen our entries based on a combination of the artist's fan favourites and their most commercially successful songs" (excluding solo songs)

I dunno how global the research was. I'd love to know how popular the Eagles material is in the U.K. and Europe.

This run down reminds me that I was an Eagles fan for about 15 years before I saw any film of them performing anything, apart from the 1977 Hotel California clip (a couple of times, many years apart) and one of the The Long Run videos.

HFO and the Christchurch bootleg were my first extended views of the Eagles performing. Even attending a HFO concert, you couldn't see much until it got dark enough for the screens to be switched on.

[UndertheWire]

Entirely predictable list with only one of Glenn's leads in the top 5.
The other way to look at it is Glenn had 5 out of 10 leads.

The big omission from that list (not even an honourable mention) is Best of My Love. It was their first number one and was their breakthrough into superstar status. I'd have put Witchy Woman in the top ten, too.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I'm fairly okay with their list, but let's be real, it is nothing more than their opinion. It bugs me that sites like this develop these types of lists under the pretense that they did lots of research to lend some credibility to it. I doubt that there was much work put into that list at all - probably about the same amount that each of us put into making one. It's not very hard to figure out fan favorites or which tracks were the most commercially successful. Or maybe it is - because although I love Desperado and Tequila Sunrise, they weren't commercially successful, so using their criteria, I'd have to bump them. For me, the obvious omissions are the Grammy-winning Heartache Tonight, I Can't Tell You Why, and possibly Already Gone. Once again, Long Road Out of Eden is ignored - you could make a strong case for including How Long. The album was commercially successful by today's standards and How Long, which was the most popular single from the album also won a Grammy.

[Jonny Come Lately]

The trouble with doing this kind of list for the Eagles IMO is that they have too many hits and therefore it is easy to make up a list containing nothing but the hit songs and thus. This list, which is made up entirely of songs from GH Volume 1 plus the three big hits from Hotel California. The only song which could maybe be argued to be a fan favourite is Desperado (which is a non-single) but has probably received a lot more airplay than a commercially unsuccessful single like James Dean. For me a fan favourite cannot be a single and therefore when I think of Eagles fan favourites the first songs that spring to mind are the likes of Doolin-Dalton, After The Thrill Is Gone, Victim Of Love and Waiting In The Weeds.

Not an awful lot to say about the list itself, all of those songs are great in my book, of the hits that weren't included I think that Already Gone is the biggest omission (ahead of Witchy Woman) and if I could make only one change to the list I'd take out Tequila Sunrise and put AG in its place. I have to say I don't think How Long would be out of place on this list at all, but I suspect too few people know the LROOE songs for it to be recognised in such an exercise.

Most bands only really have around half a dozen true 'hits' and therefore any top ten songs list, even very impersonal ones like the Mojo list, would probably include 3-5 well regarded deeper tracks. Also, pretty much all of the Eagles hit songs are good, most are better and some are among the best songs of the rock era! There are plenty of bands who have hits that are pretty weak - even with another great band like Fleetwood Mac I think the album tracks on Rumours are clearly better than most if not all of the singles from Tango In The Night.

[Funk 50]

The trouble with doing this kind of list for the Eagles IMO is that they have too many hits

Here in the UK the Eagles only had two hit singles. New Kid In Town and Hotel California. The others became hits because the Eagles declared them so by putting them on their Greatest Hits album.

I remember DJ Kenny Everett saying that when FM radio started, (before Their Greatest Hits 1972-1975) instead of playing all the chart stuff the AM stations played, they'd play album tracks like My Man by the Eagles.

I thought Hotel California was a only a hit single because, as well as Eagles fans buying it, Walsh fans were buying it for the b-side Pretty Maids All In A Row. That's why I bought it.

After Hotel California. the Eagles became an album band in the UK, while in their home country, it looks like anything they released would be a hit single.

With today's technology, I expect it's pretty easy to work out fan favourites. Every YouTube clip has a tally of how many times it's been viewed.

[UndertheWire]

My mother didn't buy Hotel California for Joe Walsh! I remember her dancing to Lyin' Eyes on the radio so it was more that the Eagles had become mainstream. For the record, all three singles taken from the One of These Nights album were UK top-30 hits which means they had six UK top-30 singles (it seems that Please Come Home for Christmas reached #30).

[Funk 50]

Sorry UndertheWire. My memory is failing me. I was only counting Top 20.

I was really surprised to see Take It To The Limit reached number 12, so that would be their second biggest hit after Hotel California. No wonder Glenn was angry when Randy didn't want to sing it.

I just found out Hotel California was number 85 in the UK best selling singles of 1977. Just above The Sex Pistols.

It's a helluva list;

http://www.uk-charts.top-source.info/top-100-1977.shtml

[UndertheWire]

From what I remember, the "Top 30" got Radio 1 airplay, which is why I think of top 30 as a hit. Also, I remember hearing One of These Nights and Lyin' Eyes played a lot on the radio which couldn't be said for the earlier releases (Best of My Love suffered from there being another song by the same name and with a similar hook being a hit the same year in the UK).

Edit: Thanks for that list. Funny to see that David Soul has three singles ranked #2, #5 and #31 and that The Emotions "Best of My Love" was ranked #45. Amazing to see ELP in there at #18.

[Funk 50]

The Eagles were constantly on the radio in the 70s but they never appeared, live on Top Of The Pops. Which might explain why they were regarded as an album band

Resident dance act Legs And Co., danced to New Kid In Town and Hotel California. I dunno about the rest.

I had a little look but couldn't find any clips (that hadn't been blocked) :-(

[UndertheWire]

The closest I could find was Glenn Frey (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ar25p_myesE) and Don Henley (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIw_a6uSN04) (separately) on Top of the Pops in 1985.
I watched that other BBC4 documentary about "How to have a hit single" and it made the point about the importance of appearing on TotP. It's not like Asylum didn't know the importance - they got their other new group, Jo Jo Gunne on in spring 1972.

[DivineDon]

Woweeeee, UTW, THANK you!!! Absolutely brilliant - I honestly didn't remember that Don had been on TOTP and I used to watch it religiously - talk about HOT, HOT, HOT - I need a drink to cool down :soda:

[UndertheWire]

This is a good one. It's from a 1994 show and includes Get Over It, Joe playing Amazing Grace (on a GF signature Rickenbacker, if I'm seeing right). Joe mugs a lot for the camera, Glenn is subdued, Henley struts, Felder looks happy and Tim does not.

The 1972 Tryin' performance was a good fit with Cameron Crowe's recent quote:

They were fierce and joyful, playing with all the piss and vinegar of a young band hitting its early stride.

It's annoying when videos are restricted by region. I guess that Buffalo 1994 videos won't be available in the US, either.

Can someone with good ears listen to Glenn's dedication to Randy on this TITTL clip from 9 July 2013? I could swear he says "I want to dedicate this to a guy who's down here tonight, our former bass player Randy Meisner..." and then I find it hard to follow.

Does this mean that Randy was there for the opening show of the tour?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Mw0vRuHVTo&list=PLsa4Zz6hlwC3WJwnbAL3-gtlBdiLSBmYA

I think it's standard for Glenn to dedicate or send the song out "to someone who's not here with us tonight." I doubt very much that Randy was traveling or going to concerts just a few months after his accident. He was in a bad way but thankfully, reportedly, hopefully is doing much better.

Thanks for this UTW. It seems to be only be available in Europe. It's rare to see a HFO show these days and they all look so young!! Glenn does seem to be off form, like he's struggling to put on a happy face and it seemed to affect the rest of the band - apart from Felder. It was a very subdued concert compared to other ones I've seen. Don was on drums for most of the concert and I loved hearing Desperado with him on drums and Glenn on the piano - always a classic performance!!

But it was good - I've forgotten much of the HFO concert I saw, I was too excited to just be there :grin:

[AlreadyGone95]

If it's a 1994 concert, maybe Glenn was being affected by his diverticulitis?

[UndertheWire]

I'd wondered about the diverticulitis but the concert was in July and I think he was hospitalised in October. His vocals were a bit patchy and he sounded a little hoarse on the rare occasion when he spoke, so maybe just throat problems. Joe was very active.

[MaryCalifornia]

OH I WANT TO SEE THAT STINKIN' VIDEO!!

What did I do for someone in the UK who couldn't see a video on here? I did something so they could see it and it worked but now I can't remember what I did:-x Saved it to something and reposted? Secret Squirrel, do you remember?

You pretty much summed them all up UTW!!! Glenn definitely not himself - he looked a bit bloated - maybe he was on steroids for the diverticulitis? Great find...and Don does strut especially on Get Over It and of course, he's at his HFO hottest :inlove: - LUV IT!!:thumbsup:


P.S.- can't believe we got to see it over here for a change.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I can't view it either, but, fortunately, I have a copy of that show and also agree with UTW's assessment of the band. They all look gorgeous in it (yes, HFO hotness in full bloom), but Glenn definitely appears not to feel well, especially during Take It Easy. I guess it works out well when one band member is 'out of sorts' that the others are able pick up the slack for them. :thumbsup:

Eeeek, I can watch it! Thank you, Lacken!! You're the best!

Have to admit I was a little startled when I saw Felder. I don't know why, I mean, I know he was in the band in '94.

OMG Timothy's hair...:jealous:

[MaryCalifornia]

Lacken, I'm wondering if you should change the title of the video so it doesn't come up in Warner Bros continuous scouring of the internet for illicit videos? Like to "Fun on the Border" or something without the words Eagles Live?

It'll be our little secret...

[AlreadyGone95]

Eeeek, I can watch it! Thank you, Lacken!! You're the best!

Have to admit I was a little startled when I saw Felder. I don't know why, I mean, I know he was in the band in '94.



You're not the only one who thought "why is Felder there?". I guess because we know what eventually went down. Given how bitter Don Felder seems to be toward his former bandmatea now, it's weird to see him up there enjoying himself and looking like he's having fun. Does this make sense?

I watched the video on my phone, and I agree that Glenn seems a bit out of it. To me, it looked like allergies or a cold because his eyes appeared sort of glassy looking. I hope to watch it on the computer sometime this afternoon. (17 inch screen is much better than a 5 inch screen)

[L101]

I changed the tag name on the video and it's a private link so hopefully it should stay for a while :)

Glad everyone got to see the video - it would be a shame to miss out on all that HFO extreme hotness :grin:

I watched it last night. Thanks again Lacken!

Hey, MC,
...omg Timothy and that gorgeous hair...I was thinking that during the whole thing, too! (Deep sigh...) :faint:
Still just puts me under.

[AlreadyGone95]

Timothy's hair looks great(I've not seen a photo where it or him don't look great). However, a certain Mr. Frey, his hair... :drool:. Despite whatever ailed him, Glenn looked amazing with his HFO look.

[MaryCalifornia]

I think they all look and sound great, but I've only gotten through 3 songs...so far Timothy is as animated as he gets performing with the Eagles, Glenn looks good...they all seem good! The audio feed is weird and the editing is weird (ie only showing Joe when I know the other 3 guitarists are doing fun things together,) but no complaints here. I like that they did show TBS' bass playing at the beginning of Get Over It - I don't know how he does it that fast.

[MaryCalifornia]

OK, I watched the rest of it and Glenn is definitely throttling back on AG. I tried to find the date of the show to see if it was prior to his surgery, but Buffalo doesn't appear on this list -https://www.eaglesonlinecentral.com/tour/1994hfo.htm#dates

Anyone have any more information about this particular show?

[UndertheWire]

I think it must be 9th July 1994 at Darien Lake, which appears to be very close to Buffalo.
http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/eagles/1994/darien-lake-performing-arts-center-darien-center-ny-1bc519cc.html

It and a show in Toronto are missing from soda's list. They played Cleveland before and Detroit after, so they were in the right part of the country.

[MaryCalifornia]

Good work, UTW. So, July.

I think Soda got her list from a Poco website, I'm sure it was not represented to be a complete and accurate listing.

Eagles - In The City from the suits tour. Great vid, No views.

[sodascouts]

Ah, how I love Buffalo!!! They sound great and HFO is my fave look for Glenn, as I've said many a time before. ;)

[NOLA]

ITA, Soda! HFO is arguably my favorite era for the band. I feel they were in their (HS&G!) prime in the mid '90s. :thumbsup:

BTW, I noticed one of the credited guitar techs was Jesse Felder. That's Don's oldest son, correct?

Yes, he's Don's oldest son. He talked about it in his book. And I agree about HFO being the most HS&G looks for the guys as a whole. For Glenn, give me the mid 80s with the stubble.

[WalshFan88]

I just saw this for the first time.

It inspired my thread in the touring section.

Glenn, Joe, and Stu ALL did IMPROVISED solos! How cool is that?! Normally the band goes for exacting replications and this is the first time I've heard them stretch out a bit.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8Rp02Ch6NU

[GlennLover]

Cool find, Austin!

[Funk 50]

When the Eagles performed Dirty Laundry during the HFO tour, Joe played the first guitar solo, as he does on the recorded version, Felder played the end solo, originally played by Steve Lukather. After Felder's exit, Glenn, Steuart and then Joe again took over the end solo that's nothing like Lukather's original but still great! :thumbsup:

Thanks for the vid WalshFan88.

[AlreadyGone95]

Nice find Austin. Always great to see the guys rocking. :guitar:

It does look, post Cass County, like Henley is softening his militant tone towards modern media.. I suppose he had. I've even, shock! horror!, found evidence of recent official bootleg releases;

http://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/eagles-rockin-roots-of-eagles-2cd/6000195400491

http://itsonlyrockandroll.info/?p=46040

[WalshFan88]

I agree F50.

I think he's seen what social media and online "outlets" can do to promote an artist and their new album. It certainly has helped with Cass County.

I still think he's pretty OTT with his concert policies but you gotta start somewhere. I still don't see Don tweeting himself, but I think he's coming to realize the importance of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, etc in the modern era for getting the word out there about you, your album, your concerts, etc. And now with new tools like Periscope (which is a live streaming app made by Twitter, much like Facebook owns Instagram) you can seemingly go to a concert and have people watch along with you. Another can of worms that I don't see Don gravitating too.

But I have noticed that the people he has on YouTube are less heavy handed with muting or blocking things. It's a good thing. Again I'll save the rest for the concert photos thread and the online streaming thread but I think it's all good to have these things (though I think how much they are paying artists and publishers is something that needs looked at).

[WalshFan88]

Also, I have to say this makes me really wish the Eagles would release more materials from the vault IF they have any. Obviously you can't make footage appear out of thin air, but if HOTE Pt 2 is any indication, they do.

I know, I'd like recent concert videos too. But as a Classic-but-not-too-classic Eagles Fan I'd like the stuff from HC and HFO tours and also the Felder tours.

I made an Already Gone video from the YouTube video. Great perfomance of that song.

[Funk 50]

I read somewhere that Randy had a, top of the range, portable, tape recorder stolen, with early versions of the Desperado tracks on it. I except that those tracks were probably recorded over but it labels Randy as an audio archiver.

Phil Collins is an archiver, which explains all the Collins and Genesis "bootlegs" that are attainable. I presume Stevie Nicks is too. Don Felder has digitised his cassette collection, including his original demo of Hotel California, so he has an archive too.

I expect anyone with potential Eagles plunder have kept quiet about it knowing Henley's opinions, apart from Bill Halverson.

[UndertheWire]

I'm a bit annoyed about this. For the last few weeks, I've been checking the BBC schedules from time to time in case they re-ran the 1973 concert so I could save it to my tv hard disk. And I missed it. It was shown last night. It's available (to people within the UK) for another 29 days on iPlayer.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0074sf0/in-concert-the-eagles

The picture is so clear, you pick out things like the parting in Glenn's moustache and the gleam in Bernie's eye.

[DivineDon]

I know, UTW - they had advertised the HOTE doc for last night and as I had watched it the night before on Sky Arts I didn't bother looking again but now it seems they showed the 'Eagles at the BBC'. Is this the show that's featured in the Earlybirds DVD?

I can't get the BBCiplayer in Ireland.

[UndertheWire]

Yes, it's the one on Earlybirds, just better quality and possibly with fewer songs. The last time I recorded it (which got wiped accidentally) it didn't have Witchy Woman although that was in the programme description.

[Prettymaid]

Wow! Thanks for sharing that, UTW!

I have always had trouble breaking down the Eagles harmonies. I always assume it's because their voices blend so well together. Being a Joe fan, I've been particularly interested in his harmonies. This gave me a chance to hear him. I noticed that Joe's is the part that sometimes changes at the end of the line just a little sooner than the others. I like how his part does that. I agree with you - Joe does a good job! I always remember Soda and Dreamer mentioned after a show they had gone to that they thought Joe's mic was off during a particular song. I think my hubby may have said something like that before, also, so I feel this vindicates Joe (in my mind, at least.)

I also noted that Timothy and Don Felder are basically singing the same part, but octaves apart. I was never sure who was singing the lowest range, not really being familiar with Don Felder's singing voice. When I hear all of these harmonies together it gives me chills. That's how good they were.

Thanks so much for that vid UTW!!! :D I love this as I've always been fascinated by their harmonies and this song especially. It's so great getting to hear everyone's parts and finally confirms to me that Felder was the baritone/bass. And I love finally hearing Joe's part too and Timothy's. Reminds me too of my choir days and when my high school vocal director would spend the day working with the boys to work out their harmonies and hearing them practice it over and over. She would work with them in each section and them bring them all together and I was just amazed. I know we girls were supposed to work on our homework on those days but I never did as I was just so impressed. LOL I know it's one of the reasons I've always loved the Eagles too.

OMG - thanks so much for finding this, UTW. This is the first time I've ever heard the harmonies of the song deconstructed like this. I knew it was possible to do, but I don't have the equipment and/or technology to do it.

It is awesome to hear each of them in isolation like this. I can often pick out all the guy's harmonies fairly well except for Joe. PM, I remember something about a show or two that Soda and I were at where we wondered about Joe's singing on the song, but I have no idea what show it was so it's hard to find it. I was thinking that we didn't think Joe was singing at all in some parts of the song, but I can't remember exactly. But, in any event, he sounds awesome here. I went back and listened to the 'whole' song and I actually can now hear Joe's voice in some parts that I could never pick out before.

LOVE IT!!!

That was a great video. I could always pick up Don and Timothy's voice. Its like their parts are almost the same.

I will go back and hear Joe's part in certain songs. I do know I can now hear Joe's part on the line, But night after night. You're willing to hold her. Just hold her.

You don't remember which show it was, Dreamer? Well why not? ;)

Here it is. I got lucky in my search. It was the October, 2010 Louisville show and the song was No More Walks in the Wood.

[FWIW]

I did a quick search of this thread and didn't see this video posted. It's a BBC documentary Hotel California - LA From the Byrds to the Eagles that chronicles the California music scene in the 60s and 70s.

The Eagles are featured in Parts 5-7 and Bernie provides the commentary. You'll recognize some of the footage as it also appears in the HotE documentary. Part 1 is blocked on copyright grounds, but there is still a lot of great material here.

Great detective work, PM. No wonder I couldn't find it since I was looking for the wrong song - I also thought it was Seven Bridges Road. Sadly, I wasn't ever able to confirm if this was an isolated event for Joe not singing on the song since that was the last Long Road Out of Eden tour that I attended and the last time I ever saw the song performed. Soda and I had a hunch that it would be, which is why we decided to make the long drive. The next time I was in Louisville was for the opening show of the HotE tour. I think you and a few others may remember that one since we had a fun group of Borderers gather for that show! :thumbsup:
