Does anyone know the story of that odd piano bit after the end of "After The Thrill Is Gone" on Eagles Greatest Hits, Vol. 2?

Interesting. Is it on YouTube? I'm not even aware of this piano thing

My copy is on vinyl in my storeroom somewhere! Couldn't find that version on YouTube. Anyone?:shrug:

Found some things on it but not really explaining it. Wonder if it was something recorded before on the tape and was longer than After the Thrill is Gone. It's not on the remastered album

Immediately following the final song "After The Thrill Is Gone" there is a studio outtake with a lot of piano playing. This was later heard at the end of Disc Two on Selected Works: 1972–1999 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selected_Works:_1972%E2%80%931999)

On Greatest Hits: Volume II (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GreatestHitsAlbum), "After the Thrill is Gone" is followed by a creepy hidden track (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MoodWhiplash) that is 45 seconds of random piano notes with a swing rhythm. It really gives the listener the feeling that someone is stalking them. This can also be considered a Last Note Nightmare (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LastNoteNightmare) for the album.
