Discussion of Eagles Documentary "History of the Eagles"

Great post I never put anybody up on a pedestal...never. No matter how much I dig they're music.

Good idea. Even they're great people, they're just people. The only person I ever put on a pedestal that didn't fall off is Roberto Clemente and he didn't live long enough to fall off it. I learned at a young age to remember that all people fail occasionally.

Alright!!! So it's agreed, we all move on and continue to enjoy the music

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Yes!!

My coworker said he planned on buying the DVD this weekend, we'll see if he does. He's the one I mentioned that was at one of the concerts from the bonus DVD here at the Cap Centre. It'll be interesting to hear what he has to say, what he remembers from it once he does see it.

Very well said!!
I went to see my "glasses guy" at the Optical dept. in Wal Mart...trying to convince him to get the DVD set, found out he's a big Walsh fan

Oh my gosh, guys. I just realized something awful. This may be my fault.

Back in the day, when I'd only made Glenn Frey Online (at the time I was planning on that being the only site), it was easier for me to always list Glenn first because I'd just put "G. Frey and.." etc. I didn't think about it being a big deal. I was too lazy to change the order when I decided to make the Eagles site a couple years later.

Well, these guys kinda consulted my site for some stuff. I don't know that they did it for the song credits, but I know they asked me about photo credits, and it kinda makes sense that the interns would do it for the song credits too...

Crap.

ahHA NOT evil Glenn...
lazy (as you put it) Nancy!

jk Nancy! <3 you are the best! all of these sites are amazing. the interns should definitely not be relying on unofficial sites for official information no matter how outrageously amazing these sites are!

don't be so hard on yourself!

I actually took that more as a subtle criticism of Poco than of Tim.... Poco wasn't paying Tim what he deserved and in the Eagles, Tim would be treated better.

Interesting how people perceive the same sentence different ways!

I know we have Poco fans on the board.... Do any of you guys know who decided what amount Tim got paid in that band, and why he never got a raise?

I perceived it the same as you Nancy!
I don't always comment on it, but I often see people pick things apart to a degree I never would have.
Those perspectives DO make me think for a minute and ponder if I am just that blindly in love that I didn't see it at first or if I just don't see it that way at all.
In this case it's the latter!

Dont know if this came up yet, but one part I kind of cringed in the film is when Glenn and Don run into the limo after the DC show early in the film...is it me or does every word that comes out of Glenns mouth as he enters and sits in the limo seem exagerated for show?

First hes huffing and puffing looking out the back window trying to make it seem like he was being chased (like if he was a Beatle)....then he tells the driver "lock the doors"...and then he says in a John Wayne voice"You never know what these kids will do".....it just seemed so forced and for show. Henly saved the scene with "Shit don't float". Its like I can tell when Frey is "reading a line" and acting. Just like when he says "Well why don't we start from the begining" which to me seemed like a scripted moment and not said naturally during the interview.

I noticed that too, but it didn't upset me because ...THAT's Glenn! He has charisma..he's like the class clown...he is a ham. So when there's a big ol' camera in his face, his plays it up. It's not news. Glenn went on to try his hand in acting. He knows how to work a crowd.

Nice. It's always good to find people who like our boys as much as we do!
