Oh gotcha on the SUV thing. Yeah, you're right that Don shouldn't be lecturing in his songs about that if he has an SUV himself.

Don was at an event last night. So Don didn't go quickly back to Dallas after the concert on Saturday. I can't believe Don will be 70 in 4 days. I so wish I could go to the concert.

Me too Shun. However, those prices are crazy and then I would have to include air fare and hotel, which could easily cost me $2,500.00. Just too much for my budget.
However, I just want to say whom ever is going HAVE AN AWESOME TIME AND LET US KNOW ALL ABOUT IT !
The concert was opened to the public. So you necessary didn't have to do the Runaway Tour. Maybe one day if Don does it again. Next year is out for me because next year is my 20th class reunion and we're thinking about going on a cruise.
Don must've done laundry on Sunday - his shirt combo from the Oceana/Walden event appears to be the same as from Classic West ;-)
Can't wait to hear about the birthday bash this weekend - what a show it will be!
I love that Don cares so much for the environment and works so hard to help protect it. Thank you, Don!Quote:

That was interesting how Chris Holt got involved with the Henster. Man. Talk about an epic lucky break (and he had the talent to make the most of the opportunity, good on 'im).
New interview with Don
https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/c...ticking-louder
Well, that was depressing. I hope his birthday bash and the classc concerts have lifted his spirits. Although it reminds me of something in one of the books where Richard Bowden reassures someone that that's just the way Don is.
UTW -- Lol - I thought the same thing ! Don did mention recently going to a couple of funerals with Jackson and JD so, I think attending those funerals, Glenn's death, and turning 70 all give him pause.
PS - It was the Eliot book where Richard B. made that statement.
I hope the concerts lift his spirits too. If he wants to continue touring, more power to him but I hope he doesn't push himself too hard. On the other hand, the discussion of his various ailments and the funerals he's attended don't make him much different from a lot of 70 year-olds. :)Quote:

I thought Don wanted make an R&B album but the reporter refers to a soul album. The genres overlap anyway, I suppose. It would be great to read his autobiography.
Ok, not really press but watched the World Athletics Championships on TV. I think it's bad form of the crowd to boo Justin Gatlin by the way. #getoverit.
Our coverage did a summary of our gold in men's 4x100 relay to The Boys of Summer - instantly recognisable and so atmospheric.

Nice interview of Don. I didn't post it in the Eagles press thread b/c it includes mention of the new Eagles and am unsure of the protocol.
Glenn is still very much on his mind.
Also, some more detail about the Hotel California/Broadway project.Quote:
“It’s very strange to be on the road without him,” Henley began. “It’s just odd. I don’t know if I will ever get completely accustomed to it.”
"The Eagles are coming to town, with Glenn Frey’s son Deacon taking his place",The Seattle Times, Sept. 15, 2017Quote:
Frey was working on plans to produce a musical-theater piece based on The Eagles’ catalog — the pivotal piece being the 1976’s 32 million seller, “Hotel California.” Frey, a native of Detroit, had visited the University of Michigan to try out some of the songs with a choral group.
“Just how the songs worked in a different context,” Henley said. “(Frey) was very keen to do that research and find out about the process. And then he got pneumonia.”
Thanks Delilah - An interesting read.
However, I don't get this : "Things were fine between the two friends before Frey’s death, Henley said. They had just finished the “History of the Eagles” tour and each gone back home to their families". If things were "fine" why would Don say he and Glenn had been "estranged for years" when he gave the interview with the Washington Post in Dec. 2016 for the KCH.:shrug:
This confirms my feelings that they had been thinking about touring again since Don made that statement to the Montreal newspaper in March 2016 about only getting back together if Deacon would do it.
Thanks Delilah and really great interview!!! :D
Are you thinking of this comment from Jackson Browne?Quote:

He recounts a telling exchange with Henley before the Grammy tribute.
“I mentioned, in retrospect, ‘You know, I was really estranged from Glenn,’ and he said, ‘I was, too.’ ”
If so, I think I get it. They weren't really estranged but they no longer had the close relationship that they shared when young. Also, Don's view may have shifted. The exchange with Jackson was at the Grammy tribute when everything was raw and he may have been regretting not having that final chance to make it right. Eighteen months later, he may have been reassured that Glenn understood.
I liked the interview. It's a reminder that Don is an emotional man and he's just finding his way through like the rest of us.
UTW - Yes, that is the interview I am referring too. Thanks.
Interesting interview with Henley, thanks Delilah.
Don, Clint Black, and Lyle Lovett will have a benefit concert for the people who were hit by Hurricane Harvey. The benefit concert is on November 28th. Tickets go on sale this Friday.

Proud of my fellow native Texans! Sounds like a great show!Quote:

Earlier in the evening Kenny was serenaded not only be many contemporary country stars, but also peers like Lionel Richie, who sang "Lady" at Kenny's request, Don Henley did the Eagles’ classic “Desperado” in Kenny’s honor and Kris Kristofferson who reminded the crowd that Kenny and the First Edition had cut “Me and Bobby McGee” in 1969 the same year Janis Joplin did.
That's great he was there and performed for Kenny. :D
I'm trying to find more articles, but they are acting like Don wasn't even there. :censored: They were focusing more on the country artists than Don.
Here's another one I found. I guess we will hear what Don said when they televised it on tv down the road.

Quote:
If it was possible for the star power to get brighter from there, it did. Though Janis Joplin did the best-known version of his song, Kris Kristofferson arrived to remind the crowd that Kenny and the First Edition had cut “Me and Bobby McGee” in 1969 as well. Don Henley did the Eagles ’ classic “Desperado” in Kenny’s honor.
Good find, Shun!
Don't you just love Dolly, "You want to hold ‘em now?” :lol:
Here's another article from the other night which also includes the picture I posted in the other thread.
I forgot Kenny recorded Desperado. I had wonder why Don did his own song. Then I saw that Kenny also record that song. I also didn't know Kenny had recorded We've Got Tonight. When I was reading articles from that night, I was wondering why they did Bob's song and Don doing Desperado instead of one of Kenny's songs.
I see I don't know that much about Kenny. lol I only have one album of his and I forgot the name of it. It came out late 90s, early 2000s, but I know a lot of his songs he released as singles.
Quote:
The biggest names across all genres of music took the stage Wednesday night (Oct. 25) at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena to celebrate Kenny Rogers at All in for the Gambler: Kenny Rogers Farewell Concert Celebration. The Oak Ridge Boys, Don Henley, Idina Menzel, Lionel Richie, Billy Currington, Elle King, Little Big Town, Justin Moore, The Flaming Lips, Alison Krauss, Chris Stapleton and Dolly Parton were among those on hand to honor Rogers. Before Rogers and Parton ended the evening with a mic drop, a steady stream of artists hit the stage to share memories and songs from the iconic artist’s six decades long career.

The crowd took to their feet in thunderous applause as Don Henley stepped into the spotlight to honor his longtime friend and fellow Texan. Henley performed a compelling rendition of “Desperado,” the Eagles classic that has been cut by numerous artists over the years, including Rogers.
Thank You Shun - you come thru again !
Shun, thanks for posting the links. I had totally forgotten about this event. So great to see Don.
Let us know if you find out when it airs!
A little sneak peek of Walden, a 20 minute documentary. There's suppose to be a viewing of Walden on November 8th and Don will be there. I'm guessing Don is narrating it.
https://vimeo.com/240196293?mc_cid=5...eid=a7df910ab7
https://vimeo.com/240193355
I saw the film when I went to the unveiling at Walden in September. It is an excellent film - VERY will done, with lots of beautiful shots of Walden. Robert Redford does a first-rate job of narrating it, but Don also does a good bit of narration and he looks and sounds great - very professional and knowledgeable, and of course, his lovely voice lends itself well to narration. I was hoping to go to the event, but being unemployed right now, even the $35 tickets are a little steep for me. I look forward to watching it again the next time I go to Walden, though.
I'm not sure who does Thoreau's voice on the film - it may be Redford,but I think it might a different actor. Whoever it is, he does a fantastic job!
Thank you for the update Shun. I am so excited about his documentary can not wait until it's released. Ken Burns is one of the best. Don and others are to be commended for their work .. listen, indeed.Quote:

That would have been nice to attend, Shun. BTW, I love your avatar! Those eyes, oh my. :faint:Quote:

Thank you for posting the article Shun. It seems this documentary won’t be released to the public but if it’s only 20 minutes long, I’m not surprised. (the video link has already expired).
Quote:
Walden, the documentary, will be on display at the visitor center at Walden Woods, a location more than half a million people visit annually to learn about the life and legacy of Henry David Thoreau and transcendentalist philosophy as a whole. While the short documentary is effectively inaccessible to larger audiences, Henley teased he may be open to a larger preservation project in the years to come.
There's a link to the 20 minute documentary, but I don't have the link on me at this moment. I will look for it. I know it on the vimeo website.
I found it. I post Walden in the video thread.
New interview with Don
http://www.rollingstone.com/music/fe...future-w511253
Hi everyone, I'm new here :grin:
As I have recently rediscovered The Eagles I was googling on them looking for news and informations...until I ended up on this http://www.crazydaysandnights.net/20...ions-from.html and I was, rather indeed I AM like this :fainted:
Cannot find appropriate words to comment but creepy.
I always liked Don and I already had read the story of that night but this advancement of the question just leaves me shocked.
