Don's got a contest going on with prizeo. This is a free trip to see and meet Don. They don't say which show. I guess they pick.
This is like Chideo. You donate to Walden Woods. Whatever amount you donate, you get a prize and your name is put into the drawing.
I might enter. A girl can dream of winning.

A came across a random reference to Don in an interview with Christopher Cross.

It’s nice when you meet people in the business who you’ve revered and you get to be around them as people and watch how they handle some of this stuff and you learn from that too. You learn to be a nice person and you learn to be humble. You learn a lot of that from people like Don Henley and Carl (Wilson).
There are some other good stories in that interview. Who knew Christopher Cross subbed for Ritchie Blackmore at a Deep Purple gig?
Aw, that's nice - thanks for posting.
Shundra, you have as good as chance as anyone else to win. I encourage you to give yourself the opportunity.Quote:

I saw this on Facebook. Don will be playing this new place, Sugarland Venue on January 15th. All Texas fans get ready.
I have no idea where Sugarland, Texas is.

It's the Houston area. I started a thread for it in the pre-conconcert anticipation forum. Thanks for the heads-up!
Does anyone know what the final bid for this was ? ?Quote:

Thanks for the link. I was touched by what he said about Glenn.
However, I was a little confused by this statement:"I can call out songs spontaneously some nights and we change the set order in the middle of the show.”
Did I miss something? When did this start happening?
In Don's defence, in his Manchester show he did play Sunset Grill, which I noticed he didn't play in his previous show at Glasgow. Don is such a perfectionist though that his idea of 'spontaneous' might be a bit different from everyone else's! My guess is that he might have a fixed list of songs which he always wants to play and others which move into and out of the setlist depending on how he feels that night. Either way, I think it will be interesting to see how much this changes for the rest of his US shows.
Here's another telephone interview.

Lol! I posted about this on Fb. I didn't know Don ever changed things up at his shows! Other than cutting songs........ok, laugh people! JKQuote:

Last night here in the UK on the TV Sky Arts channel, they showed a highlights programme of the Barclaycard BST Festival from earlier this year and they showed Don doing Hotel California and Boys Of Summer in full and in HD!
Would love to see the whole of Don's set again.
Excellent!!! I have it recorded - was hoping they'd show some of Don :) Thanks :inlove:
Thanks, I'll see if it's available "On Demand".
It's being shown again on Sunday at 9pm.
Just watched Don from the BST festival at Hyde Park - gosh he looked so good and sounded wonderful. 8) I'd love to have heard the full set. :sad:
Some interesting comments in this: http://montrealgazette.com/entertain...-of-glenn-frey
Wow. That interview actually made me cry... and laugh, too.Quote:

That was a great interview - he's definitely becoming more mellow and open as he gets older! :-)Quote:

Thanks UTW!!! :D I agree it's a great interview.
Yep, thanks UTW! I'm glad that Don may work on a new album soon. I'm wondering if he'd do mostly original work w/ some covers thrown in. I know he's been mentioning this in interviews for the last few months. I listened to the Okkervil River version of TEOTI b/c it was talked about in the interview. Yeah, I don't want to say that it sucks, but I just didn't like the guy's voice. It's hard to top Don's voice, so there's that.Quote:

I haven't read an interview that was that in-depth in a long time. Glad to hear that Don will hopefully start on a new album sometime soon.
I LOVE this interview!!! - I just want to wrap him in cotton wool and preserve him forever :inlove:
I really should pay more attention. I missed the seond half and it was only when people were commenting on things that I couldn't remember that I knew to go back to it. Good interview - it seems like Henley is getting over the shock and starting to look forward, which is the way it should be.
In the recent interview in the Montreal Gazette, Don says he is doing a show in Hawaii in October. This is not listed on his website. Is this a private show?
It's a really good interview, and I thought it was very interesting what Don said about Deacon. I never even considered the possibility of his standing in for Glenn.
Yep - I loved the interview. I am very excited about the idea of Don doing an R&B album. He seemed really open and reflective in the interview. I know he and the other guys must be doing a lot of reflection these days.
I have said repeatedly that I thought Deacon was the only acceptable alternative as a fill-in for Glenn at anytime in the future. I don't want to take this thread off topic though, so I commented in the Eagles forum.
Great interview, thanks for posting! I felt like Don really went into depth here about his life as well as his music and I really enjoyed the section about his roots and 'You Can't Go Home Again'. I kind of get the sense that he's more comfortable doing a Q&A like this than a more traditional interview, and therefore he feels more able to speak his mind which gives us a better insight into the 'real' Don. I think it takes away any worries about his words being turned into sound bites by journalists looking for an easy story.
Great interview! You can tell he's still pretty upset by Glenn's passing, but yet he didn't rule out completely that him, Timothy, Joe, and possibly Deacon doing something down the road. I can't say I would like that at all, but that's just me. I just can't see the Eagles without Glenn, whether they would call themselves the Eagles or not. I don't know...
Good to hear that Timothy might tour too.
It was a huge surprise to learn that Don was performing Gimme What You Got on his current tour.
Thanks to a link from L&M's Eagles facebook page and and online translator it's pretty obvious:
"I am shocked to see that Donald Trump is even in the race. I am so disappointed that there are enough people in this country who believe or are under the impression that he is qualified to be the US leader. It's scary , because I think the guy is a psychopath. Or at least a sociopath . I met the guy there several years. I even mentioned in one of my songs , long ago , in 1984-1985 , a play called Gimme What You Got . A song about greed. I alluded to it , but no one had noticed at the time. "
I much prefer this, to trotting out a greatest hits set.... up to a point. :)
I'm not sure. I don't know anything about it.Quote:

Thanks for the link UtW. I love hearing the enthusiasm in Don's voice when he talks about his tour and his band. It is clear that he takes his mission to carry on the legacy of the Eagles very seriously.
This interview was awsome
I haven't listened to this yet and although from the writeup it seems to be covering the same ground as other interviews, there's always some nuance to be picked up on.
