Re: Don Felder videos on YouTube and other video sites
I was rewatching the last videos posted in this thread and I have to say that Don gave a great performance on the Arsenio Hall show. He’s such an incredible guitarist. I love “You Don’t Have Me” from his second album, I think it’s a great rocker. Personally, I like Don’s singing voice. He now sings lead and also plays Joe’s solo on “Hotel California” and I think he does a good job. Don and Joe were one of the greatest guitar duos in music history. It's a shame they don't play together anymore. Joe is great, but Steuart Smith plays Don’s guitar parts without soul. There’s no chemistry between Joe and Steuart, in my opinion.

Here’s the audio of Don’s live cover version of Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition.” It’s from his 2009 concert in Windsor, Canada. From about 2:30/2:40 to 3:45 Don plays a really cool solo that is not on the original version of the song.

I was at that show! It was great.

Not only that - I got to meet him afterwards and he autographed my Airborne LP. He also took a photo with me but I look really ugly in it, so I have no intention of posting it, lol. I definitely felt very lucky!
I think his new shows will be even better. Like you, I'm eager to hear songs like "You Can't Have Me" and especially my favorite "Wash Away" live.
Re: Don Felder videos on YouTube and other video sites
I love “Wash Away” too. How cool that you got to meet Don! You’re lucky indeed!
Re: Don Felder videos on YouTube and other video sites
Thanks for the Superstition link, love that song and Don's solo is interesting, although it's a bit hard to "break through" that mean groove! Hope I'll be able to see him live one day...
Re: Don Felder videos on YouTube and other video sites
I love Stevie Wonder, and I especially love his ‘70s music. Don’s solo on his cover of “Superstition” is really fitting. I think that Don is one of the most creative and underrated guitarists in music.

Not to mention one of the hottest! He still looks great, even after all those years.
