Don Henley “Desperado” Live on the Howard Stern Show (2015) 

James Robert I so agree

both are beautiful

absolutely!!

Damn near every single time I hear it

100%%

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses? You been out ridin' fences for so long now Oh, you're a hard one But I know that you got your reasons These things that are pleasin' you Can hurt you somehow Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy She'll beat you if she's able You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet Now it seems to me, some fine things Have been laid upon your table But you only want the ones that you can't get Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin' Your prison is walking through this world all alone Don't your feet get cold in the winter time? The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine It's hard to tell the night time from the day You're losin' all your highs and lows Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away? Desperado, why don't you come to your senses? Come down from your fences, open the gate It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you You better let somebody love you Let somebody love you You better let somebody love you before it's too late

Thanks for sharing. Lol

Amen

Absolutely! This was played at a best friend's funeral. Hard to listen to at times. I miss him so much

Great point. There was something for everyone. I love how their songs just flow seamlessly.

Shout out to Bernie Leadon's country influence on The Eagles.

You can thank Don Felder and Joe Walsh for the versatility. Mostly Felder! His melodies and fill-ins are still unmatched even today in my opinion and I’m 29 years old. Frey and Henley were the downfall of the band bc of their greed 🤷🏻‍♂️

Good for you. Let the song, and your father's image, make you a better person.

Chills. Adds a whole new perspective to this song for me.

He still is.

What notes ? He's not singing Boston or Foreigner....Can we get real here.....? If Paul Carrack did this song it would blow Henley away....PLEASE....next....

I saw Paul McCartney concert a few years back, and I was truly amazed by his ability to sing. He sang for 2 hours straight, not a single note off key. And the man was well into his 70's. These guys are unbelievable.

Looks like he's human after all, he is singing it in the key of F. The original was in G, a whole note higher. He still sounds amazing though.

it does sound beautiful---but truth be known, he has dropped the key two steps here from the original version. :)

I doubt he does exercises. I remember seeing an interview when he says it just comes naturally. Alot of musicians from those eras seem to say that.

I love Don's vocal on Desperado. It was raw.

He does Desperado a whole step lower than he did on the record. It was written and performed in G. This time it's in F major.

I saw them in concert in 2015 in Okc. I had concerns about them sounding as good as their recorded work from 40 years ago. I was blown away by how much better they sound live!

And thanks for giving Don a second chance :)

Sorry about your loss my dad is in heaven too

Quit your lying! You are not impressing anybody

imagine singing while playing drums. Still the legend Don Henley

Singer/songwriter, yes! Drummer....meh. There are literally hundreds of drummers as good or better than Henley.

Only one better...Karen Carpenter.

Not exactly Buddy Rich on the toms, but got by with the other parts of the music package.

carls apartments we are our own worst critic. We always think we can do better no matter how good or perfect we did. It’s a musicians mentality. When I was learning to play music as a child my instructor told me to never think that what I did was perfect or doesn’t need improvement. He told me if I thought that way that would be the quickest way to set myself up for failure. He said always think you can do better so it will give you room to grow. If you think it’s perfect you’ll never make it better or improve as a musician. I think you get the point.

:D

Henley is a Perfectionist. He liked it..but he KNOWS he could of done it better given another take or two.. Rec Co was beingcvheap giving him only 4 takes to get it right...That;s David Geffens fault lol

A real artist wants to improve. Always.

If you like self absorbed dousches....

He says thanks Diane "Boyre"
