I was on YouTube and I found this video. Don tells a cute story for the song The Last Worthless Evening. I wonder who the blonde was with Jack Nicholason. LOL The quality of the video is not good. There's a little clips of other songs from this concert on this clip, but the story at the beginning got my attention.
Poor Don. I wouldn't turn him down.

Thanks for that! Rumor has it that the woman was Michelle Pfeiffer.
First, an apology. I haven't been all through this thread (yet) so this may have been posted many times before. It's a 1984 audio interview with Don in which he talks about his two albums, the issues that matter to him and even about the careers of the other former-Eagles. He's fairly guarded but says more than I was expecting.

ETA: It was posted on page 57 but not discussed, at least on this thread. Probably with good reason. He certainly tries to be diplomatic but the interviewer is pushing for dirt.
UTW-
I listened to this interview as I had never heard it before.Its interesting to hear this interview in light of what has changed in the time since this was recorded.
One thing I took away from this, were Don's comments about Joe Walsh saying things that offending him . From the time line I have heard, Joe Walsh was possibly hitting rock bottom or close to it around that time and really may not have been himself when he was saying these things that offended Don. Don may not have been aware of where Joe was at in his life. So many things going on to cause bad feelings and a lot of it was not even personal.
I think the years and life lessons have done them a lot of good and perhaps that's why in this phase of their career together as the Eagles they have managed to last 20 years. They now get each other, and sometimes as I believe Joe said in HOTE doc, they just don't know why it works but it does.
Probably the reason it wasn't discussed was that it is so long! However, these comments intrigue me. I'll be checking it out tomorrow when I have more time.
I thought it was worthwhile more for nuance than new information. Don speaks of Glenn with respect and even affection and yet he's very dismissive of Glenn's solo work (encouraged by the interviewer). It's not that Don is nasty but he's critical and I can see how that could be stulifying for anyone trying to work with him.Quote:

Zanny, I think you're right about Joe's state at the time. Henley talks about Felder being about to put together a band and my guess is that's the band with Joe, Timothy and someone else (forgotten his name, but he passed on Led Zepelin before they got Robert Plant - loser!). According to Felder, they soon realised they couldn't work with Joe because he was in such a bad state.
On this day in in 2000, Don recorded the concert for his Live Inside Job DVD. Here's "Talking to the Moon" from it:

Magnificent.
I watched it online a week ago. I think I'm going to watch it tomorrow.

I was on YouTube and I came across this video of Don and Stevie singing Circle Dance. I've never heard of this song, but I think Stevie said Bonnie Raitt recorded this song. Nice song.

This is great, they sound incredible.
I was looking at videos on YouTube and Yahoo Videos search to watch and I found this interview I've never seen before. Its during the HFO era. Its 12 minutes long and its only Don in the interview. They play different songs throughout the interview. I don't know if this interview has been posted.

That was interesting, thanks shun.
We were talking about this is another thread - Don plays drums for Guns N'Roses at the 1989 American Music Awards.

I heard it was a last-minute thing and they didn't have much time to rehearse. You'd never know it!
Today is the 18th anniversary of The All Star Garage Band special that came on VH1 in 1996. I found a few other clips that I've seen and some I just saw today for the first time.
Here's Gloria. Don playing drums. I love how he just walked up to the drumset, gets himself situated and started drumming at that point in the song. That was kinda cool. They show Don a lot of times in this video.

OF course Midnight Hour. Soulful Don.

Gloria... it's so rare to see Don playing drums outside the Eagles. He was superb. John Mellencamp, however, is not Van Morrison.
That's a fun special. I ripped the audio a while back and have a couple of the songs on my iPod. Don looks and sounds good!
Well, Van is the man!!!Quote:

The charity was called The City Of Hope. Its been around for years.
I remember watching a softball game in the 90s when all the country stars would play against each other for this charity. This was doing this annual music event every year called Fan Fair(Its not called this anymore. I forgot what its called now) The teams were called WSM and WSIX(the famous radio stations in Nashville).
Thanks, Shun :thumbsup:
Those videos with Don are awesome, of course. His star shines bright in all of them. I especially love his rendition of Midnight Hour! :thumbsup:
Here's another teaser about Cass County. Don says it's in the 'can' - just OPEN the can Don and let it out!!! If that album could talk, it'd be sreaming 'please release me, let me go....' :hilarious:
https://www.chideo.com/chideo/a-new-...-is-in-the-can
btw - he looks really cute as always :inlove:
He does look cute, DD!
So, it should (I emphasize should!) come out in the fall and it sounds like he will tour to promote it after the Eagles wind down in June. Which sounds like they won't be doing anything more at least this year. Boo on that but yay for Don touring!
ETA: And the album sounds quite interesting! He just sold me on getting it!
Cass County has been 'in the can' for the past year - just hope it lives up to the hype when its finally released !! :-DQuote:

And yeah, he looks really cute in that video :thumbsup:
This video is a year old! I thought I saw it before, and Shun answered my question on Facebook. I sent a message to Chideo and asked why they don't put dates on the videos. They asked who was reporting it as 'new', and I sent back some names and links. They said they'd take care of it, but really, all they need to do is put dates on the videos. I told them there are a lot of confused people right now, that think the tour ends in June and that Cass County will be out this fall.
As an update, Noise11 removed the link they'd published, but of course, many others have already tweeted it as 'new' news with the direct link to the Chideo video.
It's on the VVN Music website.

The news is just as relevant now as it was last year. With a bit of luck it may nudge Don it to making an announcement, unless Irving is trying to persuade him to keep the Eagles tour on the road.
That video was the first to be published on the website. The newest was about the Australian tour even though it was taped the same time as the contest they did to meet Don. How I knew. He wears the same clothes from a video posted last year. There was another video when he said something like something is about to happen. Taped during the same time, but came out this year before the Australian tour.
I usually check the website to see if their are new videos. Nothing new since early this year.
I know, it's all over the internet now! Many tweets and alerts this morning.
Well darn! I was all excited! :roll:
Me too :-(
Thanks anyway for the clarification, VA, but as you say it's all over the place so I thought it was new. :brickwall:
Well, I guess there are going to be even more disappointed fans now whose hopes for an imminent release can be dashed just as ours have been. I do wish Don would see the news items and get motivated to make it happen before the year is out, but I don't think that's very likely.
I would be delighted to be proven wrong, however!
Has that video become rare? I remember it from the early days of MTV, when it was played often.Quote:

Awesome!
Figured that the Cass County trailer needs to be posted in this thread as well.

Don's 2 new songs are now available on youtube: (I can't embed youtube links on my phone, so)
https://youtu.be/obbIrvEJGbw
https://youtu.be/mkfKeEQ1npM
I hope no one minds, but I moved the posts discussing the songs to this thread: https://www.eaglesonlinecentral.com/...ead.php?t=5747 - I just thought it would be good to keep them in one place.
This isn't one of my favourite songs but it's a great version. Don looks and sounds super duper :0
