This or That: Eagles

[sodascouts]

This is a fun little exercise I've seen elsewhere, like Fleetwood Mac forums. You give two choices - "this" or "that" - that are related to the Eagles. They can be songs, albums, clothing choices, hairstyles, you name it! It just has to be relevant to the Eagles or a member of the Eagles.

The next person chooses the one that they prefer, then provides their own two for the next person to choose from. If you want to add a brief explanation as to your choice, you can, but it's not required. However, the explanation aspect elevates it from a simple game to more of a discussion.

Remember, always add your own "this" or "that" choice after you answer the previous post!

Example:

PERSON 1:

Long Run album or Long Road Out of Eden album


PERSON 2:

Long Road Out of Eden - I just think it's more consistent.

-----------

Jackson Browne as a co-writer or JD Souther as a co-writer?


PERSON 3

JD Souther - he's done more with them and it's almost all great


-----------

"Turn to Stone" live with the Eagles or "Funk 49" live with the Eagles


etc., etc.

~~~~~~~


It's meant to be fairly light-hearted. I'll get it started in the next post.

[sodascouts]

"Desperado" or "Doolin-Dalton / Desperado Reprise"?

[Scarlet Sun]

Reprise

[sodascouts]

Don't forget to do a "this" or "that" for the next person, SS!

[Scarlet Sun]

Don't forget to do a "this" or "that" for the next person, SS!
Oh, I thought that was optional. OK, um, back cover of Eagles (non-gatefold) or back cover of One of These Nights?

[thelastresort]

I love the Eagles (eponymous) cover art so that :D

----------------------

Hotel California as opener or encore?

[shunlvswx]

Encore because most singers and bands signature songs are usually at the end.

Clean shaving Don or goatee Don.

[LA Eagle]

Clean


Randy or Glen as lead on Take it to the limit?

[thelastresort]

Randy. I don't mind Glenn singing it in all honesty but that note at the end Randy pulled off is heavenly.

----------------------

Best of My Love or Lyin' Eyes harmonies?

(Brilliant idea btw Soda!)

[shunlvswx]

That's hard. Both songs have great harmonies. I went back to listen to both songs and I'm going to say Lyin' Eyes.

-----------
Acoustic version of Heart Of the Matter or album version of Heart of the Matter

[tjh532]

Acoustic - I think that acoustic always lets the melody and lyrics shine through beautifully.

***********************
Bassist - Timothy or Randy? (ooohh - them's fightin' words! haha)

[shunlvswx]

I'm going to say Timothy. I like his style of playing more plus I don't know Randy that well.

************
Glenn's songs: Lyin' Eyes or What Do I Do With My Heart

[Freypower]

Lyin' Eyes, magisterial, perfect classic that it is.

---------------------------------

Glenn with long hair or short hair?

[thelastresort]

Glenn's long hair and Mexican-esque mustache was my favourite of any members' looks in the 1970s, so that. He didn't look right in The Long Run ;)

------------------

Waltz speed songs (TITTL, Saturday Night etc) or hard rockers like James Dean and Life in the Fast Lane?

[Freypower]

Such heresy, TLR. :twisted:

I prefer James Dean/LITFL to the waltz tempo songs.

---------------------------------

Glyn Johns or Bill Szymczyk?

[Victim of Love]

Both were very instrumental in the success of the band but I'd have to go with Bill Szymczyk.

------

Don behind the drums OR front & center?

[WalshFan88]

Behind the drums!

-------------------------

Life's Been Good Joe solo or with the Eagles?

[LA Eagle]

with Eagles

Most like -- I can't tell you why or try and love again

[DJ]

Try & Love Again- Hands down, I love Randy's voice!

Glenn clean shavin or with a mustache

[thelastresort]

Glenn's Mexican was of the divinest quality, so obviously with.

-------------------

Complex solo like Hotel California or smooth and soulful solo like ICTYW?

[WalshFan88]

Oooh toughie! I love the HC solo, but normally I prefer short, sweet, and bluesy. So I'm going with smooth and soulful!

-------

Please Come Home For Christmas or Funky New Year?

[shunlvswx]

Funky New Year. I like the beat and the funky lyrics.

I Can't Tell You Why or Love Will Keep Us Alive.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

I Can't Tell You Why


This (Current Don):
http://i1200.photobucket.com/albums/bb328/vernakrose/sundance/trailer/30.jpg

Or That (Don of yore):
http://i1200.photobucket.com/albums/bb328/vernakrose/sundance/trailer/33.jpg

[shunlvswx]

This is hard. I'm going to say Don of yore. I'm really not a fan of 70s look Don had. Maybe because I was born the same year they broke up. LOL I would say current Don, but what made me go with the other picture is I don't like the white goatee look. If it was dye, I might had liked it.

----------
Glenn's soundtrack songs: The Heat Is On or You Belong To The City.

[sodascouts]

You Belong to the City - so intense. LOVE it.

-----------

Heartache Tonight live: With or Without Horns?

[shunlvswx]

Hmmm I'm going to say with horns.

**********
Desperado: Don behind the drums or up front.

[Freypower]

Drums. I know he hasn't played drums on the song since 1995 (I saw it) but he should.

------------------------------------

Teenage Jail or The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks? :ziplip:

[thelastresort]

I to this day have absolutely no idea what TGDWNF is about but I love the groove to it. Also the solo in Teenage Jail is horrific. So The Greeks it is.

------------------------

Glenn up front on guitar all the time or split guitar-piano like he was in the 70s?

[shunlvswx]

split guitar-piano. I love seeing him on the piano. He's a good piano player.

*****************
Waiting in the Weeds or Fast Company

[L101]

Waiting in the weeds! Hate fast company.....song is too high :?

70's hair Don or 70's hair Glenn

[shunlvswx]

I love Don, but I'm gonna go with 70s hair Glenn. He had some great hair back in the 70s and it was always so beautiful.

*************
Don's duet songs: Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough with Patti Smyth or Walk Away Joe with Trisha Yearwood.

[L101]

I love them both but walk away Joe just gets it as the harmonies in it are beautiful.......

---------------------------

King of Hollywood or Get over it

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Get Over It!! I sing it in my head every time I'm forced to spend time around a whiny complainer.

Which album? The Allnighter or After Hours?

[DivineDon]

(btw Shun can't believe you chose 70s Glenn over Don - sacrilege! :shock:)



The Allnighter, really like Smuggler's Blues and I remember Glenn from Miami Vice I thought he was really good.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

HFO DVD or F1 DVD?

[L101]

F1 DVD - just because of the bonus DVD and Don in combats and black tshirt combo :smitten: Also the concert was great!

---------------------------
Dons eyes or Glenns eyes

[shunlvswx]

DD: Sorry I really didn't like the afro look. I loved Glenn's long hair.

Definitely Don's eyes. Hello!!! I love his eyes. I go ga ga when I see those bright blue eyes. Plus you really can't see Glenn's eyes. I didn't know he had blue eyes for a while.

*************
Don's look: The End Of the Innocence long hair Don or Inside Job spiky hair Don

[DivineDon]

oh crikey, that's a tough one. I really didn't like long-haired Don but I really didn't like the crew-cut either. However, there are a couple of really tasty shots of Don in the intro to Inside Job so with some reluctance I plump for....

crew-cut Don!

~~~~~~~~~~

Disc 1 from LROOE or Disc 2


(and Shun, Don's 70s 'fro was a thing of beauty, defying gravity and sheer perfection IMO :heart:)

[shunlvswx]

I'm going to say Disc 1. A lot of my favorite songs are on Disc 1.

*****************
HFO Joe (aka Professor Joe) or Current Joe.

[thelastresort]

I don't think Joe looked all that good during HFO but he looks brilliant now, if it wasn't for his speech you'd never guess he was so bad in the 70s and 80s.

----------------------

Eagles Greatest Hits Vol. 1 or Eagles Greatest Hits Vol. 2?

[UndertheWire]

I love the early stuff, so Vol 1

------------------

I Wish You Peace or Visions?

[shunlvswx]

Hmm. I'm going to say Visions.

*************
Don and Glenn sharing co-leads: Doolin Dalton or After the Thrill Is Gone

[tjh532]

Love After the Thrill is Gone - great lyrics!

---------------------------------------------------

70s Timothy or 90s Timothy?

[shunlvswx]

90s Timothy. I think all the guys were hot during that era.

*************
New version (acoustic kinda version currently played in concert) of Heartache Tonight or original version of Heartache Tonight

[thelastresort]

New version (yes, I know that's blasphemous on here)

--------------------

Part 1 or Part 2 of the HOTE concerts?

[UndertheWire]

Tough one, but I'll go with Part 1 because of all those tracks from Desperado. Having Bernie there makes it extra special.

-----------------------------------

Joe Walsh or Bernie Leadon?

[shunlvswx]

Joe Walsh
********
Don's rocking track: I Will Not Go Quietly or If Dirt Were Dollars

[L101]

'I will not go quietly' as I've never heard 'If dirt were dollars' :blush:

(DD - Don's 70's 'fro was the best!! :smitten: He said in some interviews that he would love to have all that hair again - made me wonder what he would look like now with the 'fro and the white goatee .....:lol: )

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This one is a hard choice for me :::

The guys in the 'Busy being fabulous' video or the guys in the 'How long' video

[thelastresort]

How Long, love where they're all sat around with their acoustic guitars towards the end.

---------------------

Desperado or On The Border (albums)?

[Freypower]

Desperado (It has grown on me whereas OTB has a lot of filler).

---------------------------------

True Love video or The Shadow Of Your Smile video?!

[shunlvswx]

True Love. Cute video.

*********
Best guitar solo opening of a song: Don F's solo opening in Victim of Love or Joe's solo opening in Life In the Fastlane.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well - this sure is a 'catchy' little game - let me give it a try ...

Joe's opening for Life In the Fast Lane

====================================

Timothy's albums: Feed the Fire or Expando

[shunlvswx]

Expando

*********
Glenn's ballads: The One You Love or Soul Searchin'

[Freypower]

Shun, Dreamer gave you an answer. Can you give us another one please.

[shunlvswx]

I just saw it. Let me change mine.

[shunlvswx]

It's change from my old one.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I'll go with Soul Searchin' for Glenn's ballads - love the use of the gospel choir.

================================

Most effective manager: Geffen or Azoff

[shunlvswx]

Definitely Irving. He's been with the guys for 40 something years and he's been with them through thick and thin.
*********
Don Felder's look: HFO Don or Current Don.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I to this day have absolutely no idea what TGDWNF is about but I love the groove to it.

tlr - I believe the 'Greeks' in the song references fraternities and sororities. Their traditions go back to ancient Greece and they even use Greek letters for their names. They are based on brotherhood and sisterhood and initiation into their 'club' is by invitation only. This exclusionary practice ensures there are no outsiders or 'freaks'.

[sodascouts]

I guess current Don Felder, although my fave era for him is the 70s. It's close, though. He looks more natural in HFO, but he's got a few extra pounds.

==========

Best Eagle-inspired song: Stevie Nicks' "Has Anyone Ever Written Anything for You" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOy7M9PPhWg) or Joni Mitchell's "Car on a Hill" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oau4rvDtuOY)?

[Raven Hair]

I am gonna go with Stevie Nicks because, as far as I know, Joni Mitchell didn't date Don Henley and then Joe Walsh. Stevie is more intimate with the band.

Frail Grasp on the Big Picture or Business as Usual for social commentary?

[DivineDon]

Business as usu...whaaal... whaaal


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Don's version of Democracy or Leonard Cohen's? :rockguitar:

[DivineDon]

(DD - Don's 70's 'fro was the best!! :smitten: He said in some interviews that he would love to have all that hair again - made me wonder what he would look like now with the 'fro and the white goatee .....:lol: )


Oooh, somehow I don't think that would work...:headscratch: just can't or don't want to visualise it!

[shunlvswx]

Don's version.

***************
Best Of My Love live in concert: Without drums(acoustic): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w508mExsHdc or with drums (like the original version) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LoZInA17Q

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Best of My Love with drums

==========================

Desperado (song) live with Don on drums and Glenn on piano or with Don up front like they perform it now

[shunlvswx]

Definitely Don on Drums and Glenn on piano. I wonder when they stopped doing that. I'm just glad Glenn still plays keys on ICTYW.

*************

Best visual video played in the background in concert: Already Gone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eT95xKCb2w or Doolin Dalton/Desperado reprise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lbf0H91zwu8

ETA: I couldn't find a better video for Doolin Dalton/Desperado reprise. Everything was up close with this song. Probably go by what you've seen in concert.

[L101]

Already gone - but I got distracted halfway through watching Don play the drums :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scott Crago :drummer: or Will Hollis http://www.mazeguy.net/musical/keyboard.gif

[shunlvswx]

Scotty.

**************
Funk 49 live: Guitar duel with Glenn and Joe at the beginning or go right into the song.

[Freypower]

Shun, to answer your question from F1 until now Don has been down the front for Desperado. It does nothing for me. I feel it puts the focus far too much on him when the whole band should be showcased.

To answer yours I like the guitar duet in Funk #49 because Glenn so rarely gets to do any distinctive guitar work.

-------------------------------

Glenn's clothes: overshirt & T shirt or jacket & shirt?

[thelastresort]

I've often wondered that re: Desperado too. I don't like to see the guys negate to do something for one of the backing musicians to fill in, e.g. drums on Desperado, keyboard on NKIT. Anyway...

I think the further you get into the Eagles' 70s discography the more Glenn suits the formal look but I personally prefer him with T-shirt and a loose one over it, like the second half of F1.

---------------------

Take It Easy or Desperado to end a show?

[shunlvswx]

Thanks FP. I hate that Don doesn't play drums on a lot of songs, but he probably doing that to give his back a break. So I understand that if that's the reason. Now Glenn. I would love to see him on the keys or half and half like he did for years. I'm just glad he hasn't given up playing keys on ICTYW. Even Joe isn't on the organ that much. It was cool to see him on the keys on NKIT in the HOTE DVD concert. Too bad he doesn't do that anymore either.

Desperado.

*************
Don's vocal range: singing low on King Of Hollywood or falsetto(high) on Fast Company.

[Freypower]

KOH is practically the only song where he sang in that low register, but I much prefer it to Fast Company.

----------------------------------

Tryin' or Take The Devil?

[sodascouts]

Tryin' - it's not my fave, but it's got an appealing peppiness and optimism.

==================

Eagles live shows: better as just five (or four) Eagles onstage like in the 70s or better with additional musicians onstage?

[sad-cafe]

Waiting in the weeds! Hate fast company.....song is too high :?

70's hair Don or 70's hair Glenn

UM>>>>did you know that I was Sad-Café and have been for over a year???

[sad-cafe]

Eagles live shows-better now with additional musicians.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hell freezes over Hotel California or original version Hotel California

[L101]

UM>>>>did you know that I was Sad-Café and have been for over a year???

Suppose 2 SadCafe's are better than none.....
Don't know how to change my name ??

[L101]

Original version of Hotel California

Don's version of 'the times they are are achanging' or Dylans version

[shunlvswx]

I love HFO version of HC. I know I'm the minority of that one.

The answer to your question SadCafe, Don's version. I'm not really a Dylan fan and I never could understand him.

*******
Common Thread songs: Desperado by Clint Black or I Can't Tell You Why by Vince Gill

I couldn't find any videos for these songs not even Vince's version.

[tjh532]

I can't tell you why by Vince...he has such an incredibly beautiful voice.
I tried finding it on YouTube, and was only able to find a version of him singing it at an award show. Luckily, I have the Common Thread CD.


Bernie Leadon - curly haired or bald?

[tjh532]

UM>>>>did you know that I was Sad-Café and have been for over a year???

That's ok SC - we'll always know it's you by the gorgeous subject of your Avi :faint:

[thelastresort]

Curly-haired Leadon. He looks better now though than he did at the RRHOF ceremony.

------------------

Saturday Night or Pretty Maids All in a Row as a sad, lamentable reflection on life?

[Raven Hair]

Pretty Maids all in a Row. The music itself is full of yearning and I like the HFO version so much better than HC. I always thought the long instrumental end needed some of Joe's guitar over the ooohs.

Randy Meisner lead vocal performance: Too Many Hands or Try to Love Again?
Can't use Take it to the Limit which would obviously be his best.

[thelastresort]

Try and Love Again. Incidentally apart from the notes at the end of TITTL I think his vocals are better on Take the Devil.

-----------------

1970s or LROOE version of How Long?

[DivineDon]

Oh definitely LROOE How Long - love when Don comes in with '..I've been doing time....' I'd know his voice anywhere

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


OOTN Don or HFO Don?

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y63/desperado74/Henley/DHOOTNera.jpg (http://s3.photobucket.com/user/desperado74/media/Henley/DHOOTNera.jpg.html)

[shunlvswx]

I love LROOF's version of HL. When I first heard of HL back in 2007, I actually didn't know it was an old song from the 70s andI didn't know Glenn, Don and Randy sang on the 70s version. I thought maybe they just did that on this version and sing co lead like old times.


Hello!!! HFO Don. That's my favorite Don era. He was so freaking hot in that era. I loved his hair too.

Joe's ballad songs: Pretty Maids All in a Row or Help Me Through the Night

[sad-cafe]

That's ok SC - we'll always know it's you by the gorgeous subject of your Avi :faint:

well thank you. but I want Admin to help them change their name. I want to be the only sad-café

[tjh532]

well thank you. but I want Admin to help them change their name. I want to be the only sad-café

I agree, they may not have known there was another sad-cafe, but I think it would be good form to switch.

[L101]

I agree, they may not have known there was another sad-cafe, but I think it would be good form to switch.

The system did not say that the name was already taken but as some people are not happy with this, I am trying to change the name - it will take time so hopefully you can manage a few days with two SadCafes (different spelling):sad:

[tjh532]

Not a problem :) - I can already see your new name. Welcome to the Border! It's one of the best places to talk about the Eagles - you will love it here!


Back to the game:
Pretty Maids All in a Row

********************

Eagles live - with or without Felder?

[Freypower]

Without.

Poor Glenn needs some questions in this game from me if from nobody else. You Are Not Alone or It's Your World Now?

[thelastresort]

It's Your World Now, though neither were highlights.

-------------

Glenn or TBS on harmonica for Doolin-Dalton?

[L101]

All sorted name-wise :thumbsup:

TBS for Doolin-Dalton

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Glenn on piano/keyboards or on guitar

[Freypower]

Guitar because it has been so long since he has played keyboards on more than one song (two when they were doing YBTTC).

-------------------------------

But Seriously, Folks or Analog Man?

[thelastresort]

Guitar because it has been so long since he has played keyboards on more than one song (two when they were doing YBTTC).

Train Leaves Here This Morning or Bitter Creek?

Train Leaves Here This Morning.

************
Don's soundtrack songs: Love Rules from Fast times At Ridgemont High or Sit Down You're Rocking the Boat from Leap Of Faith.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Love Rules

===============================================

Witchy Woman - LROOE Live Version or HOTE Live Version

[sad-cafe]

HOTE version...it is awesome

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rocky Mountain Way with horns
Rocky Mountain Way without horns

TBS for Doolin-Dalton

Glenn on piano/keyboards or on guitar

Lacken101...I am sorry for embarrassing you on the name thing. I was just super-shocked. Please forgive me and welcome to the forum...the best Eagles info around

[thelastresort]

RMW without, there were only really a couple of songs I think they enhanced.

------------------

Funk #49 or Walk Away?

(BTW was the LROOE version of Witchy Woman the same as the album one?)

[shunlvswx]

Walk Away. I like Walk Away.

*******************
Songs about the world: The Last Resort or Long Road Out Of Eden

[thelastresort]

Hmm, let me mull that one over :razz: Seriously though I do like LROOE, but I could never vote against The Last Resort

------------------

Doolin-Dalton / Desperado Reprise or Best of My Love as an album ender?

[L101]

Best of my love - its always good to end on a high note...

BTW - I love The last resort as well !! Its on repeat in my car ;-)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Don on the percussion drums or Don on the normal drums

[shunlvswx]

Hmm I like him on both, but I'm going to say on normal drums.

*********
Don's p*ssed off about news and tv songs: Dirty Laundry or Get Over It.

[thelastresort]

Dirty Laundry - I think GOI is aimed at society more in general, but Dirty Laundry is a perfect deconstruction of just about everything that is wrong with the media on both sides of the spectrum.

----------------

Do Something or LWKUA?

[L101]

Love will keep us alive - nice and mellow after watching Don on the drums and Glenn dancing :spin:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Best song to sing along with in the car:
Midnight flyer or Already gone

[shunlvswx]

Already Gone.

You Belong To The City: second verse(original key: high)(the when you say goodbye line and verse) http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTkzNzQ1MjM2.html or how he sings it today(not singing it in the original key)http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTU0Mjc0NTk2.html

[sodascouts]

No contest - the original.

--------------------

Tequila Sunrise live with the extra "think I'll go to Mexico" verse, or without it ?

[DJ]

Live for sure


Linda Ronstadt's Desperado or Don's version

[L101]

Don's version - definitely smoother....

Don forgetting the words to Wasted time on the Christchurch DVD (watching that now) or Don forgetting the words to Learn to be still on the HFO DVD :grin:

[shunlvswx]

Don forgetting words to Learn to Be still. Gotta love Glenn's laugh.

Already gone or Lyin' Eyes

[Freypower]

Lyin' Eyes. No contest.

--------------------------------

Traditional band logo (as seen on F1 DVD) or Long Run style logo used on HOTE?

[shunlvswx]

Hmm. I had to go back and watch both dvds for the logos. Well it was hard to pick.

I'm going to say traditional logo.

*********
In The City live: the long solo at the end or a short solo

[Ive always been a dreamer]

long solo

================================================== =====

Take It Easy: Extended solo on HFO DVD or HOTE 1977 Capital Center DVD

[DJ]

Extended, any of their music that is extended is good for me.


Wilder Long hair young Glenn/Sophisticated short hair older Glenn

[shunlvswx]

This is hard. I like both look, but I'm going to go with Sophisticated short hair older Glenn.

When Joe did the Beatles tribute special: While My Guitar Gently Weeps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnILQ8qRLCI or Something https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucAUwazrSRE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaxJ6G3ta6o)

[DJ]

Most definately My Guitar!! Way to go Joe.


Funny carefree Don, walking around interviewing people on camera (i.e. In HOTE ) or more sophisticated Don speaking about and working on his near and dear projects (i.e Walden Woods projects)

[shunlvswx]

Hmm This is hard. Its cool to see young Don talking to the ladies and interviewing them at the 3E parties, but his eyes light up when he talks about WW.

Hmm. I'm going to say more sophisticated Don speaking about and working on his near and dear projects (i.e Walden Woods projects)

**********
Best harmony accapella song: Seven Bridges Road or No More Walks In The Wood

[thelastresort]

Seven Bridges Road

-------------------

Hollywood Waltz or Saturday Night?

[L101]

Definitely Saturday night - they sound so young and innocent.

The alternative SKA version of Hotel California (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAojSAb3vto) or the HFO acoustic version of Hotel California (http://vimeo.com/46839101)

[shunlvswx]

Definitely HFO version of HC. To this day, I still love that version.

Don's album: Building the Perfect Beast or The End Of The Innocence.

[WalshFan88]

Building The Perfect Beast - two out of my top 3 favorite DH solo songs are on it.

---------

I Can't Tell You Why or Love Will Keep Us Alive?

[shunlvswx]

Hmm. That's hard. I really don't like neither songs, but I'm going to go with I Can't Tell You Why.

****************
Weirdest video. Love in the 21st Century by Glenn http://www.glennfreyonline.com/multimedia/videos/Loveinthe21stCentury.wmv (I couldn't find this video online) or The Garden of Allah by Don http://www.artistdirect.com/video/don-henley-garden-of-aalah/31851.

[sodascouts]

"Garden of Allah." I don't like the video for "Love in the 21st Century", but at least you can trace a narrative with it. "Garden of Allah" is WTH?! throughout.

------------------------

Glenn's acting gigs: Miami Vice or Jerry Maguire?

[shunlvswx]

Even though I've seen Jerry Maguire. I don't remember Glenn in the movie and its been years since I've seen it.

I'm going to go with Miami Vice.

Songs about Joe's life: Lucky That Way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-UCjiQkLlQ Or Life's Been Good

Life's been good - as I love the way the band play-act with him during the song

Some more Careoke http://www.mazeguy.net/musical/sing.gif http://www.mazeguy.net/transport/car.gif- songs to sing along to in the car:

Live would have to be TIE (have I mentioned I love the 'I'm standin' on a corner...' line :lol:) but I could listen to PEF tens of times over, so the latter.

------------------

My Man or I Wish You Peace?

[sodascouts]

My Man, definitely. I adore that song.

----------------

Songs referencing Shakespeare: Get Over It or Brave New World?

[Freypower]

What a great question, Soda. Brave New World although the GOI reference is more explicit.

-------------------------------------

Lilah or Talking To The Moon?

[shunlvswx]

Talking To The Moon

*********
The Long run songs: Teenage Jail or The Disco Strangler

[thelastresort]

Teenage Jail (that's not even a question ;))

----------------

Steel pedal: Ol' 55 or My Man?

[WalshFan88]

Ol '55

------------

Guitar Solo: Hotel California or One Of These Nights?

[shunlvswx]

That's hard. They both are good. I'm going to say Hotel California.

************
Stevie's exs: Don or Joe

[DJ]

Both so fascinating, but I'd have to choose Don

The Original 4 Eagles sound/music or Current lineup sound/ music

[WalshFan88]

Now that's tough because neither are my favorite (my favorites are the HC era with Randy and the LR era with Timothy. But with Felder and Walsh. Seeing as I'm not a huge fan of LROOE:

Original Four

--------

Talkbox: Those Shoes or Rocky Mountain Way?

[sodascouts]

Those Shoes. I adore that song!

================

Favorite Eagle shoes: Glenn's fancy black-and-white shoes seen in Farewell 1 or Don's work boots?

[L101]

Don's work boots! It's like we grew up with them even if he does wear them with suits :hmm:

Don in plaid shirts with jeans (and the work boots) or Don in suits (without the work boots)

[shunlvswx]

Hmm This is hard. He looks hot in both.

Plaid shirt with jeans

***********
Instrumental song: I Dreamed There Was No War or Journey of the Sorcerer

[thelastresort]

That's an awful question to have to answer. Whilst I think JOTS is the better piece of music I adore IDTWNW, I just wish it was longer. On that basis I'll go with I Dreamed...

--------------

Felder or Walsh's solo in the outro to Hotel Cali?

[sodascouts]

Am I understanding it right - are you asking us to choose between the parts in the duet?

Since it's been said that Joe Walsh came up with that, I'll go with Joe.

================

Speaking of Joe....

Joe's solo work or his work with the Eagles?

[thelastresort]

Sorry, I did mean components yes. Anyway, I prefer the songs Joe wrote outside of the Eagles, so without.

----------------

Lighthearted Farewell 1 moment - Don H. putting his arm around Joe during 'Couldn't hold a candle to you' in The Long Run, or Glenn's dancing during ASWTDID?

[shunlvswx]

Definitely. Don H. putting his arm around Joe during 'Couldn't hold a candle to you' in The Long Run. I love Don does that and Joe talking to himself. Lol

******
the guys jumping on Dirty Laundry in the F1 DVD or the guys looking and playing to Scott at the end of Last Resort in the HFO DVD.

[thelastresort]

As much as I love the bobbing up and down at the end of The Last Resort I'll say Dirty Laundry - never before or since have I seen all of them do something that informal (in a good way!) together.

--------------

Heart of the Matter or New York Minute on HFO?

[Houston Debutante]

Heart of the Matter, it's beautiful

~~~~~~~~

Don's songwriting partners ~ Glenn Frey or Danny Kortchmar

[Freypower]

Glenn Frey goes without saying at least in my opinion.

------------------------------------

Glenn's movie soundtrack videos: The Heat Is On or Part Of Me, Part Of You?

[DJ]

The Heat is On


The bass licks in Outlawman or Already Gone?

[thelastresort]

Outlaw Man (that and Midnight Flyer were probably Randy's best bass tabs for the Eagles)

----------------

Wasted Time Reprise or Doolin-Dalton Instrumental?

[shunlvswx]

Wasted Time reprise.

*************
Timothy's song on LROOE: I Don't Want to Hear Any More or Do Something

[L101]

I don't want to hear anymore - I find Do Something a bit annoying sometimes :|

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Which off-the-wall song would you like to hear the group cover:

Pink Floyd's Comfortably numb (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJZYG5qwHHI) or Queens Bohemian Rhapsody (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJ9rUzIMcZQ)

[WalshFan88]

I'm NOT a Queen fan at all, so I'll go with Comfortably Numb, one of the few PF songs I like.

----------------

Uptempo number from On The Border: Already Gone or James Dean?

[L101]

Already gone - it's a great get up and go song! !

Would you have Don sing 'lyin eyes' or Glenn sing 'the long run'

[Freypower]

Glenn singing The Long Run. Lyin' Eyes is sacrosanct.

---------------------------------

Title tracks - On The Border or One Of These Nights?

[thelastresort]

I'm NOT a Queen fan at all,

This, a million times this.

:thumbsup: :cheers:

-----------------------

Anyway, On the Border. Never cared for One of These Nights.

-----------------------

Take the Devil or Too Many Hands?

[sodascouts]

Too Many Hands - it rocks! Very underrated song.

-----------------

Best song about dead guys:

James Dean or Doolin-Dalton

[thelastresort]

Doolin-Dalton - love the harmonica, foretelling lyrics and Glenn's lonesome guitar strumming. James Dean has some really odd lyrics I think :|

------------------

Album finishers: The Last Resort or The Sad Cafe? (Please bear in mind there is only one correct answer ;))

[tjh532]

Sorry to disappoint you TLR, but I really do not like your namesake :( It's one of the few songs by our guys that I don't like. We've talked about this song on another thread, so I won't go into it. No offense :)
My answer would be Sad Cafe.

***************************
Least favorite album - Long Run or Long Road Out of Eden

[thelastresort]

(I don't take offence at anything, don't worry!)

The Long Run - whilst the big hits have grown on me the fillers are dire and I'm glad they called it a day when they did on the basis of the album. LROOE could have done with being shorter though.

--------------------------

Dirty Laundry or ASWTDID?

[DivineDon]

Dirty Laundry definitely. I don't know but I really don't like ASWTDID ~ sorry Don!!! I skip it on the CD everytime though I have to admit it comes across much better live and gets the crowd going. I loved Glenn's dancing in F1 but that refrain drives me mad.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Waiting in the Weeds or Wasted Time?

[L101]

Waiting in the weeds - but only just!! Don sounds so grown up and soulful in WITW

(I couldn't pick between The last resort or Sad Cafe - love them both !!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Saddest Don song about love - Talking to the moon or Lilah ?
(Still listening to ICSS :-o)

[DivineDon]

Oh Lord, this is realy hard - I love them both!!! But if I had to choose the sadder song, then I'd pick Talking to the Moon because Lilah's melody is a little bit more upbeat but they both kick you in the solar plexus, don't they?? (isn't ICSS brilliant?)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Take it to the Limit or Take it Easy? (I hope this wasn't asked before, I can't keep up :hilarious:

[thelastresort]

So hard! TITTL has Randy's excellent high note at the end but TIE has the wonderful 'Standin' on a corner...' line. I'll say TIE as it's a great show closer, everyone's involved, and it is, of course, what started it all.

---------------------

Best HOTE concert feature - Joe's HelmetCam or TBS's lights up?

[shunlvswx]

Joe's helmet cam. He seem to have so much fun with that.

Wait. Timothy lights up. When does that happen?

*******
Videos with Glenn's wives in them: Smuggler's Blues or River of Dreams.

[thelastresort]

Ah, I didn't describe it best I suppose, but TBS used to order the lights up on various sections of the audience before LWKUA so they got a chance to see everyone. This may not have happened everywhere, as I note from some YT videos Joe never had the helmet on for some shows in the States.

[DivineDon]

I'd go for TBS, I really like his personality - Joe's antics wear a bit thin on me but that's jmo, please Joe fans don't take offense...


As for Shun's question, Smuggler's Blues

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sexier Don? Those Shoes or Miss Ghost?

[shunlvswx]

I've never seen them in concert. I watch the different concerts on Youtube since I doubt I will ever see them. I think I've seen a video clip of Timothy doing that. Most of the videos clips on YouTube starts when they sing and skip the beginning stuff.

[shunlvswx]

Definitely Those Shoes.

**********
Songs about his life after he got married and had a family: Everything Is Different Now or Taking You Home

[sodascouts]

Taking You Home

====================

Glenn's Love Songs: River of Dreams or That Girl

[L101]

That Girl....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Who would you like to see Don duet with:
Dolly Parton or Billy Idol

[Freypower]

Some of these hypotheticals seem strange to me. What a peculiar choice; I will say Dolly Parton.

OK then, here is a very self-indulgent hypothetical from me. Who would you like to see Glenn duet with - Mark Knopfler or Eric Clapton?!:guitar:

(The thought of either makes my mouth water).

[L101]

I'd like to hear Glenn sing with Mark Knopfler - not sure what song though, maybe Walk of life or Brothers in Arms

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here's a more normal duet pairing -
Don (again) with Bruce Springsteen or David Bowie ??

[shunlvswx]

I say David Bowie. Now that would be an interesting duet.

*************
Songs written about an Eagle: Sara (about Don) or Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You (about Joe)

[Freypower]

I would LOVE to hear either Don or Glenn with Bowie.

I prefer Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You.

------------------------------

Heartache Tonight or How Long?

[L101]

Oh Lord, this is realy hard - I love them both!!! But if I had to choose the sadder song, then I'd pick Talking to the Moon because Lilah's melody is a little bit more upbeat but they both kick you in the solar plexus, don't they?? (isn't ICSS brilliant?)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I love them both - I nearly have to lie down for a while to let my heart put itself back together http://www.mazeguy.net/bigsmilies/lovestruck.gifhttp://www.mazeguy.net/bigsmilies/biggrin.gif

[shunlvswx]

Has Don ever sung with Bruce? I would think at awards shows and charity events. Wasn't Bruce invited to his wedding.

[shunlvswx]

How Long. I just love the shared co leads.

*********
New Kid in Town or Tequila Sunrise

[Ive always been a dreamer]

This is a tough one too, but I'll go with New Kid In Town. It's definitely in my Top 10 of favorite Eagles songs.

======================================

Glenn's song Working Man: fast or slow version

[sodascouts]

The slow version. I find that more moving. "I drive myself home after another day... I'm too tired for dreams and plans. I'm just a working man." How many folks can relate to that?

============

Holiday songs: Please Come Home for Christmas or Funky New Year?

[thelastresort]

PCHFC - never cared for Funky New Year but I quite like Please Come Home... on the odd occasion

----------------

Pretty Maids All in a Row or In the City for Joe's vocals?

[WalshFan88]

In The City for sure

-----------------------

Underrated songs: On The Border or After The Thrill Is Gone?

[thelastresort]

I love both but After the Thrill Is Gone, should be a concert staple, it's as good as 90% of the other songs they ever wrote.

--------------------

Tequila Sunrise with Don H. up front or on drums?

[L101]

Tequila Sunrise with Don up front - especially when he's playing percussion on the guitar!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One of these nights or Best of my love for Don's singing

[shunlvswx]

I call that guitar drumming. Lol

Best of My Love
***********
Joe's visual video in concert: Joezilla in Life's Been Good or Super Joe in Rocky Mountain Way.

[L101]

I call that guitar drumming. Lol


I call it guitar drumming as well :grin: but I wanted to sound like I knew what I was talking about lol

[L101]

Joezilla in Life's Been Good!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Best summer song to make you get up and boogie :

Boys of summer or The heat is on

[DivineDon]

Boys of Summer!! - it's my ringtone :hilarious:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Doolin' Dalton or Doolin' Dalton/Desperado Reprise?

[shunlvswx]

Doolin Dalton/Desperado reprise.
************
Don's percussion solo in Funk 49: Solo http://www.joewalshonline.com/multimedia/live/Funk49MountainView94.wmv or no percussion solo (like he does in concert today) http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTA3NDg1OTMy.html

[DJ]

Solo, I loved Funk 49 from the first time I heard it by James Gang!

Desperado Album Cover or Hotel California Album Cover Inside(with all the guys)

[L101]

The Hotel California album cover - mainly for this pic:
http://i1288.photobucket.com/albums/b493/Lacken/e011e6cf-4a98-4324-89a7-db35dc07e4a1_zps1c4326c9.jpg (http://s1288.photobucket.com/user/Lacken/media/e011e6cf-4a98-4324-89a7-db35dc07e4a1_zps1c4326c9.jpg.html) :faint:

Who would you like to see do the ALS Ice Bucket challenge (http://www.breakingnews.ie/discover/whats-the-ice-bucket-challenge-and-why-are-all-the-celebs-doing-it-639272.html):

Don or Glenn :wink:

[shunlvswx]

Hmm. I guess Don. He loves a challenge.

************
Another duet question.

Duet with Don: Bette Midler or Cher.

[L101]

Bette Midler - would be interesting to hear the highest note that they could hit in the song!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the border album cover or One of these nights album cover

[Freypower]

One Of These Nights

---------------------------------

I Found Somebody or True Love?

[shunlvswx]

True Love

*******
Best solos by all the guitarist in a song: Glenn, Don F, and Joe's solos in Get Over It or Glenn, Steuart and Joe's solos at the end of Dirty Laundry in the F1 DVD.

[L101]

Glenn, Steuart and Joe's solos at the end of Dirty Laundry in the F1 DVD

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

HOTE version of Witchy Woman or the original 1972 version

[WalshFan88]

Original by a country mile (same for Heartache Tonight for that matter).

-----------

HFO DVD or F1 DVD?

[sodascouts]

That's a hard one. They're so gorgeous in HFO, but F1 is more bang for your buck and more representative of what the Eagles are as a band. So...

Farewell 1

=====================

Songs about Gram Parsons: My Man or Good Day in Hell? (in case you're wondering, Glenn and Don said "Good Day in Hell" was partially about Gram in a 1974 Circus Magazine interview)

[DJ]

Good Day In Hell, one of my all time favorite songs.

Guitar on Already Gone or James Dean?

[WalshFan88]

Already Gone....that riff and solos are killer. My favorite song to play live.

------

Bootleg concert DVD: Houston '77 or Christchurch '95?

[shunlvswx]

Definitely Christchurch 95. The guys were enjoying themselves in this DVD. We do I start. Don forgetting the words to WT, Don laughing at Don F in Tequila Sunrise, Don F/Joe walking around the stage in LBG, Joe/Don F having fun in Dirty Laundry when they do their solos on the line kick it when you're up, kick it when you're down. So many to name. I love watching that DVD.

Glenn's songs. Best sax solo in a song: The Heat Is On or You Belong To The City

[sodascouts]

You Belong to the City

======================

Best single from Long Road Out of Eden: How Long or Busy Being Fabulous?

[Glennsallnighter]

Great game Soda! I've only logged on now having been away most of the last 3 weeks, so forgive me if I repost anything.

For the last choice I go with How Long - it just has such a happy energetic vibe to it and I never get tired of hearing it.

Albums - On the Border of Desperado?

[UndertheWire]

Desperado, both song and album. I like On the Border (again, both song and album) but nothing touches Desperado.

-----------------

Two Randy Meisner songs from the first album : Take the Devil or Tryin'?

[shunlvswx]

I guess trying.

**********
Heart Of the Matter. The line ""I'm learning to live without you now: Don singing in the original key(Don goes up on to live) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEQgkor-jgU or how he sings it today(he doesn't go up until without you) http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xeofdx_heart-of-the-matter_music

[L101]

How he sings it today - its more suited to the husky sound of his voice these days

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wasted time reprise from Hotel California or Doolin Dalton instrumental from Desperado

[shunlvswx]

I love when Don sings high on that line.

Wasted Time(Hotel California)

*******************
Glenn's jokes: Leave them in or take them out.

[thelastresort]

Glenn has excellent banter so keep.

Take It Easy - extended outro (mid-70s to HFO) or studio outro (as now)?

[sodascouts]

Extended outro - love it!

=====================

Songs about Eagle daughters: Timothy's "Song for Owen" or Joe's "Song for Emma"?

[shunlvswx]

I'm going to say Song for Emma. Such a sad song.

************************
Don's Farm Aid performance in 1985:
The Boys Of Summer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ap4jRRK75dA or
Sunset Grill https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXVht8y-a4Y

[L101]

I'd have to say Sunset Grill at this point as I can't make myself watch him dancing :blush:........He's much better when he just 'loiters' on the stage (apart from when he's jamming with the Eagles obviously :hilarious: )

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Which cover version that Don has covered:
It don't matter to the sun or Everybody wants to rule the world

[shunlvswx]

I liked Sunset Grill. Don was kinda struggling with Boys of Summer. Sound like he was hoarse. Now Don didn't dance that bad in BOS. :hilarious:

[shunlvswx]

OK. So I went to listen to Garth's version of It Don't Matter to the Sun on YouTube since I've never heard Garth sing this song before even though I heard it was Garth's version. but I found out he sang it as Chris Gaines. That explain why I never heard of it. Good ole Chris Gaines. :hilarious:

I've heard both Don's version of both songs, I'm going to pick It Don't Matter To The Sun. I actually like Don's version than Garth's. Don does some great acoustic songs.

**********************
Songs the Eagles' wrote about their children: Annabel (Don's daughter Annabelle) or You Are Not Alone(Glenn's daughter Taylor)

[Freypower]

You Are Not Alone, which I had the pleasure of seeing performed live three years ago.

------------------------------

Glenn singing falsetto: Living In Darkness or Delicious?

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Definitely Delicious for me.

===================================

Tim solo: Every Song Is You or Friday Night

[DJ]

Friday Night

Midnight Flyer in the 1977 video with Felder on Banjo or
The original version with Bernie on Banjo

[thelastresort]

I prefer the 1977 version as I think Joe does the solo vice Glenn (sorry Glenn fans, he never looked comfortable on slide for me :thumbsup:), but Leadon was what made the Eagles country / bluegrassy, now and forever more, so the original.

---------------

Anyway, if I don't get banned and lynched for the above ;):

Holland '73 or Seattle '75 Outlaw Man?

[shunlvswx]

Outlaw Man Seattle 75.
*******************
favorite part of Don's song where you can also do the movements to: All She Wants To Do Is Dance(when Don raises arm in the air to (she wants to party, wooah, she wants to get down, wooah) or Dirty Laundry(kick it when you up, kick it when you're down. arm up, arm down)

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Dirty Laundry

================================================== ======

Glenn's Miami Vice videos: You Belong To the City or Smuggler's Blues

[shunlvswx]

Hmm This hard. I'm going to say You Belong To The City.
***************
Eagles' hair era: HFO era or current era

[WalshFan88]

Don't really have an opinion on this but I'll base it on the fact that seeing Joe in this era makes me think of him being ill and down and out, so I'm going with Current, where he looks more healthy.

--------

Slide Guitar on TLR album: The Long Run or Heartache Tonight?

[L101]

Heartache tonight

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Best 'Guitar face':
Joe Walsh or Don Felder

[thelastresort]

Joe had some wonderful facial expressions back in the 1970s, I don't think Felder ever really had one as he was so technically competent he didn't really need to.

----------

Waltz speed song: Saturday Night or Hollywood Waltz?

[L101]

I love Saturday night but Hollywood waltz has the pure waltz tempo http://www.mazeguy.net/musical/note.gif

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Best Glenn one-liner intro to a song:

This goes out to my first wife - Plaintiff or My wife calls this the credit card song

[shunlvswx]

My wife calls this the credit card song.

******************
Best use of the talk box in a song: Those Shoes or Rocky Mountain Way.

[thelastresort]

Those Shoes. Not a fan of the song really, but using them for an entire song and usually in exact synchronicity with each other is pretty impressive.

---------------

Album ender - I Wish You Peace or Sad Cafe?

[shunlvswx]

Sad Cafe.

*************
Glenn's songs from The Allnighter album: The Allnighter or Sexy Girl:

[Freypower]

The Allnighter, no contest.

-------------------------------

Ordinary Average Guy or Analog Man (song)?

[thelastresort]

Analog Man, always found OAG a bit weird and not one of Joe's finer songwriting moments.

---------------------

Concert joke - Glenn's 'mother is half a word' or Don H.'s inability to remember Miami?

[shunlvswx]

I'm going to say when mother is half a word. I've never heard of Don's joke.

********************
Don's hair: HFO era or EOI era.

[L101]

Analog Man, always found OAG a bit weird and not one of Joe's finer songwriting moments.

---------------------

Concert joke - Glenn's 'mother is half a word' or Don H.'s inability to remember Miami?

I'm a bit behind in some of the Eagles stuff - what do the concert jokes mean and what concert(s) are they in ?? :confused:
I think I can guess what the other half of mother is :p

[L101]

Don's hair in the HFO era without a doubt!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Don's stance at the mic: with guitar or without

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Don without the guitar

==============================

Timothy's HFO hair or the 80's mullet

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I'm a bit behind in some of the Eagles stuff - what do the concert jokes mean and what concert(s) are they in ?? :confused:
I think I can guess what the other half of mother is :p

Lacken - The jokes that Glenn has been telling in concerts for quite a few years are that he is from Detroit where mother is half a word. And he sometimes dedicates Lyin' Eyes to his first wife - plaintiff.

Sorry, but I don't recall Don's Miami joke.

[shunlvswx]

I'm going to go with Timothy's hair from the HFO era. I love all the guys hair from that era even Joe's.

Don's hair in the HFO is always my favorite. He just had such perfect hair during that era.

********************
Don's rocking songs: I will Not Go Quietly(from EOI) or Nobody Else In The World But You(from IJ)

[Freypower]

Nobody Else In The World But You because of the presence of Glenn & Stevie Wonder. IWNGQ 'tries too hard' in my opinion.

I thought the 'Miami' joke may have had something to do with the introduction to the Millennium version of Please Come Home For Christmas? He says they were recording in Miami with all the sunshine & they missed home in California.... with all the sunshine. But he does remember Miami there. I do think it's a good idea when playing this game to keep the clues fairly specific.

----------------------------------------

Glenn doing 'travel' songs: Sea Cruise or Route 66?

[shunlvswx]

I didn't know Glenn was singing backup on that song too. I just found out about Stevie a few weeks ago. I do remember Don saying that line in the Millenium concert CD.

I'm going to say Route 66.

*************
Songs from After Hours: For Sentimental Reasons or Here's To Life

[DivineDon]

I thought the 'Miami' joke may have had something to do with the introduction to the Millennium version of Please Come Home For Christmas? He says they were recording in Miami with all the sunshine & they missed home in California....


I thought the Miami joke referred to Don's introduction in the HOTE concert when he's talking about The Long Run and the fact that they were all so 'high' and 'out of it', (though he doesn't actually say that specifically) - that they don't remember much about it except to was A Long One. I'm open to corrections however...

I love Don's introduction to Please Come Home For Christmas, he's funny and his speaking voice is so sexy and I love him singing that song even out of season! He sounds so soulful in it :sigh:

[Freypower]

I guess I should answer this. :-?

Here's To Life is my favourite track from After Hours.

Parachute or Friday Night?

[Freypower]

TLR had better enlighten us then, because I don't recall any Long Run era concert footage in HOTE when Don was speaking. If he is just reminiscing, that isn't a joke he told in concert.

[thelastresort]

Sorry for the confusion guys, at both gigs I attended in the UK Don came down for The Long Run and spent about 3 mins talking about how they went to Miami and recorded it before making a joke about how he was told all of this because he couldn't remember any of it owing to all the coke they did. I just assumed it had the same permanence as Glenn's plaintiff / Detroit / we did everything fast in 1975 jokes. My apologies!

[L101]

Sorry for creating all the confusion with my questions - I can't even remember if he said any of that at the Dublin concert that I went to ... Maybe I have a touch of the Miami's :hilarious: (was too busy looking at Don to remember anything lol)

Anyway, found this link from the 02 London concert (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dR_nK20dNpM) where he is telling the story. Picture is bad but the sound is good.

Earlybird or Train Leaves Here This Morning?

[Freypower]

Train Leaves Here This Morning

I will repeat my question which nobody answered:

Parachute or Friday Night?

[GlennLover]

Friday Night It's my favourite song from the CD.

Centre of The Universe or It's Your World Now

The magnificent Love Rules, my second favourite Don song after A Month Of Sundays.

'Tabloid headline' songs (in terms of some similarities in subject matter): Smuggler's Blues or All She Wants To Do Is Dance?

All She Wants To Do is Dance

*******
Best Remake version of Hotel California: HFO version http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xtbrf_eagles-hotel-california-live_music or IJ's version http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMzgxMjY0Mzk2.html

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Honestly, I'm not crazy about either, but if I have to pick one, I guess I'll go with the HFO version.

===================================

Solo albums: Inside Job or Strange Weather

[shunlvswx]

I'm going to go with Inside Job. One of my favorite albums of Don's.

**********
On The Border songs: On the Border or Good Day in Hell

[DJ]

Honestly i love both these songs but I'll pick Good Day In Hell

Original four member harmonies or current member harmonies

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I'm going to go with Inside Job. One of my favorite albums of Don's.

Wow shun, our tastes sure do differ. Inside Job is my least favorite of Don's albums. And I don't know if you've had the opportunity to listen to Strange Weather, but, to me, it is superb. Oh well, different strokes as we say.

As far as Eagles harmonies, I like them both about the same. But, if I have to pick one, I'll go with the present day lineup just because it's the here and now.

================================

Which is the more important event in Eagles history: Eagles are inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or Their Greatest Hits album is named the RIAA Record of the Century.

IJ and EOI are two favorite albums I can listen all the way through without skipping. BTPB is my least favorite. I still haven't gotten ICSS yet, but that's next on my list. I will try to listen to Glenn's solo albums soon. A few on that album I like.

As for your answer. I say Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This is the first and only time all 7 members played on one stage. That was amazing.

Cute moment of Don in the F1 DVD: Don hugging himself on the line "and a little romance in ASWTDID or open arms when he sings "all our friends are here" in Sunset Grill.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Shun - I highly recommend ICSS (it's my second favorite Don solo album) and Strange Weather (it's my favorite solo album by any Eagle). Of course, your taste may differ from mine, but you never know unless you give them a listen.

Now, for your clue - I'll go with Don hugging himself in ASWTDID.
