Too funny Z! I could imagine that song playing if I was lost in the desert!
Yep - if I ever get lost in the desert, please let there be Eagles music!:thumbsup:
It's been a great Eagles day on Classic Rewind (it was last weekend, too). They played HC a little while ago, then not much later Dirty Laundry. Now, they just played LITFL preceded by Glenn talking about the ride in the car and then Joe's lick during practice and that it was how the song came into being. They followed it with Bon Jovi and Wanted Dead or Alive. The DJ, Mark Goodman, then said about it being an outlaw song, and how he guessed the Eagles did the outlaw thing first. Then he paused and said he guessed Johnny Cash did it first. Made me laugh.
That was a good day, VA! I just went out to the store, and while I was shopping, they played The Long Run. It reminded me of our Survivor Game! :partytime:
Tonight on The Voice Christina Aguilera and her team sang Hotel California.
The best part of it was the harmonies.
Wonder how they got permission to sing it
Christine and the Eagles share the same manager. I'm sure Irv has something to do with it.
Good point, F50. :thumbsup:
On the radio but unexpected.
Half asleep, I hear a song that sounds like the intro to I Can't Tell You Why then the vocals start and it is I Can't Tell You Why. and it's pretty good.
Sounds a bit like a cover of a cover but it's a potential hit to me, although I know nothing about contemporary Jazz.
DJ Mike Shaft puts it perfectly, "Originally done by The Eagles, a brand new version from DW3, that's one called I Can't Tell You Why.
Only a clip but you get an idea:

Thanks for the link, F50. Honestly, I wasn't too impressed. I'm not crazy about the vibrato in his voice or the backup harmonies.
Wasn't the entire song, but I was shocked to here some instrumental parts of Funk 49 on FoxSports tonight. Cincinnati Reds are considered 'home team', so the station I usually listen to is blacked out (my Bucs are playing the Reds), so this is the first I've watched Fox Sports since last year. I find it odd that they are using it considering ESPN uses/used Funk 50.
I caught that too when the Cards were playing the Reds! I assume they have permission or do they need it?Quote:

Early this week, I went into the grocery store to get some breakfast and as I was walking into the store, they were playing Hotel California or the end of HC. They were playing the guitar duos when I walked in.
Went out for happy hour tonight to finalize our plans for a weekend in NYC & to Atlantic City. Heard NKIT, LITFL & as we were leaving Rambling Man. Told my friend we were meant to go to the concert,
I heard Boys of Summer when I was in a local drugstore a couple of nights ago
I heard Don Felder's Heavy Metal on a Sirius channel on our drive home from St. Louis Sunday. I've never heard it on the radio before!
I was in the store this morning to get some breakfast and A Life Of Illusion came on. That's the first time I ever heard another song from Joe other than Rocky Mountain Way and Life's Been Good.
For the second time in two months, SiriusXM started playing Those Shoes as I was putting on "Those Shoes", the second time was this morning. I think they were even the same pair of shoes, now that I think about it.
On the way to town to get groceries yesterday, I was arguing with my mom on what radio station to listen to. Just as I was daring to change the dial, Best of my Love came on. I shut up about the statiom for 5 minutes :hilarious:.
Today, while I was waiting on my mom to get the food for our weekly lunch with my nearly 95 year old nana, I was surfing the different local rock stations. I happened to catch Hotel California just as it came on!
COOL! :thumbsup:Quote:

I think they were at the point of talking about crossover from the mainstream charts to the Easy Listening charts and they cited (and played) James Taylor and then a quick blast of "Take it Easy". I'm still not clear why it was there other than the "Easy" in the title as it didn't fit the format of everything that had gone before.
An aside: I had no idea how successful the Easy Listening format is. For example, pianist Richard Clayderman "As of 2006, his record sales number at approximately 150 million, and has 267 gold and 70 platinum albums to his credit."
To have the biggest selling album of the 20th Century, you have to have a toe in a few genres to attract a large cross section of the music-buying population. I'm not surprised Easy-Listening music fans enjoyed the Eagles too.
Even after they hired Joe, tracks like Wasted Time, Pretty Maids All In A Row and New Kid In Town are more M.O.R. than rock. I'm sure the Eagles get a lot of airplay on Smooth FM.
When I listen to Glenn's After Hours album, I'm fully aware that I'm enjoying music that I used to go out of my way to avoid.
I like to think that I'm older and wiser rather than just old :shrug:
I see Bruce Hornsby is releasing a compilation album featuring a live version of The End Of The Innocence. I've never heard Bruce sing it. I hope Henley don't mind.

Why would Henley mind? They co-wrote the song, didn't they?Quote:

Walking through the grocery store today in search of almond flour they claim to have when Take It Easy came on. I believe this elderly gentleman thought I was coming on him to because by the 3rd pass down the aisle he was all winky face & started following me IN A WALKER! No no no...don't ruin an Eagles moment for me.
On a side note, my son is in Atlantic City today. He said mom there is a huge poster of your boys out front. He had better of taken a picture for me.
OMG, jms! That's :hilarious:Quote:

On the way to town, my mom is talking about stuff that I don't care about. (We'd just had an argument and I'm not in the best of moods. We don't get along well at all, and I prefer to keep "chit chat" with her to a minimum). Anyway, as she's talking about stuff, I'm in la la land, not caring. I began to hear Lyin Eyes playing, and at first, I thought that my mind was playing tricks with me. It wasn't. Sure enough, I'm hearing the song for real, so I turn up the radio to try and help me relax and cool off. It would have worked if my mom didn't start talking louder :brickwall: :brickwall:. I managed to hear a bit of the song in between my mom's comments about her lunch. :-x
ETA: someone talking snout non important things when I'm listening to music is one of my biggest pet peeves
Well, my karma turned good. I stayed in the car while my mom went into Walmart. I checked out the local radio stations, and the one out of Tallahassee, Florida played One of these Nights.
ETA : now the rock station out of Albany, Georgia (closest city) is playing Life's Been Good.
I was dozing off, listening to the radio. All of a sudden, I hear the dj say "Ive got some solo Glenn Frey coming up for ya in a bit". At first, I thought that I'd dreamed it up. Ten minutes later, I hear the opening of Smuggler's Blues playing. :D
(I apologize to my mom and my pets for my terrible singing of that song)
It was my sister's birthday today so we celebrated with a couple of friends and went as we call it - junking looking for treasures. At one of the antique stores, when I walked in I heard Visions and then After The Thrill Is Gone. I walked around the corner and sure enough, they were playing a One Of These Nights vinyl. I told my sister & friends that I was going to like that antique shop. :thumbsup:
Not a new story but I don't think I've mentioned this before and it's a good one I think!
When on holiday last summer in Spain at the hotel I was staying at with my family, there was always some form of entertainment outside every evening. This varied from night to night - they had traditional flamenco dancers one night, for instance - but on one evening there was a guitarist playing songs, mostly in English, playing (if I remember rightly) a Fender Stratocaster. After playing a few songs, he started playing a rather familiar guitar introduction - Hotel California! He played the full song and did a very decent job on the solos. The song was reworked so as to include the name of the hotel in the chorus (it scanned quite well fortunately) and although a couple of the lyrics weren't quite right it was a highly enjoyable performance.
He also played the Dire Straits song So Far Away, With A Little Help By My Friends and IIRC a couple of Santana tunes as well. It was definitely my favourite of the events they put on, that's for sure, but HC was the clear highlight as far as I was concerned.
Last night, while waiting on the fireworks to start, my mom and I were listening to the radio. Due to our location, the only station that we could get in was an oldies station that plays hits from the 50s-80s. This station had a theme going of "all songs American or Summer related". (Songs like God Bless the USa by Lee Greenwood, Mustang Sally by Wilson Pickett or We're an American Band by Grand Funk Railroad). I was taken aback when I heard the opening intro to Boys of Summer. (It fits in with the summer theme). Surprisingly, I didn't hear any Eagles songs!
Watching my Bucs play the Cards, and after we struck out their pitcher and their first batter was coming to the plate, they played Glenn's "The Heat Is On." It definitely was, Carpenter hit a home run to put them up 2-1. :(
OK. I just had a "I can't believe I doubted that it was an Eagle singing this song." :hilarious:
OK. SO I'm watching Leaving Las Vegas and Come Rain or Come Shine starts playing. I was like, "Wait is that, Don? It sounds like Don." So my crazy self Wikipedia Leaving Las Vegas to see if that was Don and sure nuff that was Don singing Come Rain or Shine. I didn't know he was part of that soundtrack.
I didn't know that, either!
PNC Park just played Take It Easy here in the 13th inning of the Cards - Pirates game.
Missed it, VA! Babysitting the grandson and had to go to bed when he did! You just never know how good he is going to sleep! As it turns out he slept through the night. And we lost! Not too sorry I missed it! :roll:Quote:
