What do you want to dredge up?
Well....

I was impressed with Don Henley's dry sense of humour. I liked the way he explained how vulnerable he felt on occasion. I thought he stayed away from controversial subjects, with the exception of what happened with Victim Of Love.

I have even more respect for Joe; his honesty, his humour (I thought they ALL displayed great humour, with one exception. Perhaps you can guess because I won't go into it further). Joe's loyalty to the band & to Don, Glenn & Irving was very touching.

Tim got insufficient time on screen, as I think people have said. He came across as a very warm, openhearted man.

I thought Bernie was great & he handled the 'beer' incident very well. Unfortunately, Randy barely featured. What I saw of him I liked because he seemed very sweet natured.

My opinions of Don Felder have not changed. I was unimpressed with his 'famous final scene'. He looked out of place to me. Every shot of him even from the 70s; he didn't look right. Please don't flame me, Felder fans. I don't know what it is about him but I cannot relate to him at all & I tried to watch it with a clear head.

Finally can I just say this:

I was however disappointed that of all the major songs that were featured, some at greater length than others, once again New Kid In Town was totally ignored.

I was disappointed with the way so much was crammed into Part 2. I wanted less about HFO & more about LROOE, although I thought the HFO rehearsal footage was fascinating. I thought there was a bit too much reliance on a particular press conference & performance footage from that era (although I had not seen the clip of New York Minute, which I never saw them do).

Part of me wants to write a great deal more but I just feel reluctant.
