If Glenn is not my favorite, that shouldn't bother anyone here. It's my personal opinion.. What I think of him doesn't really matter. Like I said, I can respect his talent, but as a person I don't really care for him. It's simple as that.

It doesn't bother me that he's not your favorite. It shouldn't bother you that Felder's not my favorite or that Glenn is my favorite. Every time I open this thread I get to read it again and again. So I'll stop coming in to the thread.

Me either! I will be going to town to find it!

oh yeah...can't do the Amazon waiting thing again!!!

I usually preorder so I don't have to remember when the release date is, but this time, I think I'll go out and get it as well. Amazon is inevitably slow.

Hi all I enjoyed part 2 though parts of it were hard to see. The beginning was awesome with the HFO press conference. I liked how they cut clips in, it was so cool.

I loved watching Joe's journey back and how all the members helped support him through it.

I also liked watching them collaborate and create some of the songs and the old version of How Long.




PS I loved the Stevie cameo I wish there was more.

I was just wondering if anyone else thought the beginning of part 2 was just awesome. I just watched it again and I love how they used HFO Q & A session and then integrated clips. When Irving said they wouldn't make as much money in Europe and both DH and GF jumped up hitting the table and pretending to leave. It was so fun; I love it when people don't take themselves to seriously.

Please any comments on the cool beginning

PS I'll be happy to check DH for any rust

Personally, I see no reason for anyone to feel that they shouldn't state their opinions, or read and comment on others, as long as it's respectful. Who cares about favorites ? As I've stated previously, there are 3 sides to every story. We'll never know what truly happened. Felder was fired, and I'm sure there's blame to be had from all angles. I've enjoyed reading everyone's comments, whether I agree with some of them or not. Either way, we should be celebrating a terrific documentary, not tearing each other apart over petty things.

Yeah, the favorites thing can get intense. It's hard to hear people rag on your favorite and not want to speak up for him. If one finds oneself getting really worked up and emotional, perhaps it is best to step away.

I, however, plan on staying around.

And for the record, I don't like to hear people ragging on ANY of the Eagles unfairly, not just Glenn.

I liked the opening of part 2, but part 2 should have been a full 2 hours. I just feel there was much left out, but when I heard Desperado, I knew it was about to end...exactly the same as it does at a concert.

One thing that kind of bothered me was when they showed the shots of the audience clapping...they never seemed to be clapping to the beat of the song that was playing at that time. It was like they just took some footage of audience clapping & stuck it in there. They were never on the beat.

I think my favorite part of part 2 was when they showed them writing & putting the song together. That was interesting. Also I liked Joe's recovery story. It wasn't too dramatic, but it seemed real to me. Joe looks so much better now than he did then. Wow what a drastic change. I guess we hadn't really seen him during the 14 year vacation.
Also nice to see his daughter there, I guess that was Lucy & there were also small glimpses of Tim's wife & daughter, talking to Felder & I think his son.

At first I wasn't sure about the opening of the second half, but eventually they made it work. I actually thought the comment from Azoff about how touring Europe wasn't lucrative was a bit tacky, but when Glenn and Don H pretended to get up, it did make me laugh!

I hear you. It's no secret Don H. is my favorite, and there have been some nasty things said about him. But, everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I'm sure some of it is true. He's certainly no saint. I take it with a grain of salt. He's a big boy and he doesn't need my help.
