After watching HFO and then Farwell 1,I noticed without Don Felder it seemed that his stage presence was so big it felt really weird without him in the band. Anyway I wanted to write how the Eagles stage chemistry evolved through the 1970s.
Eagles-Desperado years.
Glenn: Was the most active and engaged member basically the cheerleader of the band who firmly established his position as a leader with incredible confidence.
Don: The deep thinker of the group who was really more in the background and stemmed to be uncomfortable with his role and was mentally preparing for stardom.
Randy: Fun loving energetic and engaging. He seemed to have a close relationship with Glenn and liked the spotlight and wasn't shy YET.
Bernie: Tended to be more in the background. A little shy and nervous when he talked to the audience like in that witchy woman video. Stemmed to be stubborn but laid back.
Group: 4 guys who loved to play music together and fool around because they were just starting out and didn't have a lot of tension but you could feel the tension starting to build up.:grouphug:
ON THE BORDER-ONE OF THESE NIGHTS .
Glenn: As the group became more successful, onstage Glenn ,started to recede into the background but nonetheless still had his established leader presence and behind the scenes still remained the driving force of the band business wise and musically.
Don Felder: As the newest addition to the group he was brought in to make the Eagles sound more Rock N Roll then country. His onstage personality was the guy who wanted to prove himself as a valuable asset who always wanted to do more writing and singing that was often pulling on loose ends with Glenn but he still was having fun anyway
Don Henley: After two albums became the main songwriter with Glenn and came out of the background on his way to becoming the voice of the Eagles. Often behind the drums he was the serious one in the group and usually agreed with Glenn who SOMETIMES let him do the dirty work. With Berine becoming increasingly unhappy he was often the calm and stable one to help bridge the gap with Glenn's outgoing but stubborn personality and was the mediator when ever an argument happened.
Bernie: A talented country musician he often had a hard time dealing with the massive success the Eagles had and felt like he no longer had a voice in the band. So after the tour he left:bye:
Randy: As with Bernie he also had trouble dealing with fame and afte his success with Take it to the limit became increasingly neverous over singing the famous high notes at the end and as a result receded into the background.
Group: you could feel the tension between each band members building up but we're still capable of getting along with eachother and having the third encore:cheers::partytime:
Hotel California.
Glenn: With only one Lead vocal on the album you would think he lost confidence in his songs. But the truth his according to him it was intentional as everyone else in the band said Don Henley and the best voice. Still he and Don had reached the full potential of their songwriting abilities with this album. But his relationship with Don Felder was getting difficult.:brickwall:
Joe: As the Newest member of the group. He made the Eagled a true Rock N Roll band.:band:. His fun loving personality and reputation as a wild one eased a lot of the stress the Eagles had built up over the last two albums.
Don Felder: After writing the music for Hotel California he felt like he would sing more and write more. But things went permanently down hill from their. His massive stage presence was a problem because when He claimed that Victim of Love was a song for him to sing and they replaced his vocal with Henley because it wasn't up to band standards and never let it go.
:tonguewag:
Randy. An :angel:in the group he was emotionally drained by the end of the tour and felt guilty for being unfaithful to his wife plus he wanted to spend more time with her and his three kids so he bailed from the group:bye:
Henley: Was in the background and became confident in his singing voice and formed one of the best songwriting teams in history. :singer:
GROUP: everyone was starting to split apart but managed to pull together for one more album but we're getting ready to breakup and fight amongst themselves :armed:
Long Run
Glenn: :fight:
Felder: :saberfight:.
Timothy: A sweet peaceful person. Tim was just happy to be there but did't feel the tension that was building up over the past decade.
Joe: Tried to calm the tensions with his brand of comedy but sadly it didn't work.
Henley. As with everyone else was exhausted :yawn:
Group: Split up after arguments :argue:
