Here's Glenn's complete appearance, including Paul's anticipatory comments early in the show, Glenn's performance of "Desperado," and, in his second segment, chat with Dave.
Not just your opinion the world thinks so as well. If it wasn't for glenn I wouldn't have ever got into music. RIP glenn best musician to ever walk the earth
There are The Eagles and then there is everybody else. They are for all time The Great American Band. Biggest selling album of the 20th Century " Eagles Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975" 26 million copies . I consider myself to be their No. 1 fan on the planet, for the last 36 yrs. I'm not old, but with Glenn's passing, I guess I'm not young anymore.
that makes two of us ;-) - because of Don Felder, I learned to play the guitar. The Eagles are the ONLY music I listen to in my car, when I run, when I clean the house etc. ;-)
There was a total consensus in the Eagles, including Frey, that Henley was the far superior voice. I assume they know what they're talking about. But I don't really get it myself.
This performance was 32 years to the day on July 26, 2016. And it only seems like yesterday. 10 years after this performance, Glenn would welcome back Eagles fans at the band's MTV live performance in Hollywood with the never forgotten quip; "WE DIDN'T BREAKUP - WE TOOK A 14 YEAR VACATION." ...I think of you Glenn every now and then, and I guess I always will. RIP...
I've got the "Hell Freezes Over" cassette (that's right--cassette, and it still plays great!). The title of course was the comment that was given when they broke up. Glenn says the classic "14 year vacation" on the recording, which includes their first live performance since the breakup. Absolutely ONE of the greatest bands of all time, and now there will be no more. Miss you like crazy, Glenn!
It's the same for me. Every now and then Glenn's face and voice just pop into my head, like a soundtrack to my life. Vivid images of where I was when one of the Eagles songs was playing, who I was with, etc., and it really seems like yesterday. It's overwhelming to me when I realize all over again that he's gone; not a break up, but actually gone. He left great music we will always remember. Still, when I try to watch The History of the Eagles, I don't last too long before the sadness overwhelms me. Even though the others are still here, and they're all great, there can never be the Eagles without Glenn.
Awesome interview, didn't get into details, band was awesome, the look on their faces is priceless, they sang with Glenn Frey, something to tell their grandkids, Glenn was on point with the piano, just beautiful, RIP Glenn
Len Weinstein not soon enough! He died early because of karma- he treated everyone around him especially the crew like dirt. Karma caught up to him. Just listen to the way he talks.
Eagles ! One of my favorite bands of all time! Thank you glen Tim, don, joe ,randy ,Bernie, thank you !thank you !thank you! I am so glad to have grown up in this time period to have had the privilege of hearing the Eagles music! To grow up as a kid with there hits on the charts and to seen them in concert is a blessing! P I p glen you rock your are rock god!
I saw Glenn in concert after the Eagle's weren't together..he was wonderful as he is here. Miss him & there'll never be another band as perfect as the Eagles.
What a great song I love Linda’s version of it, I love Don‘s version of it, but Glenn‘s version of it just breaks my heart all that talent gone so soon. I am a lifelong Eagles fan and I always will be and have seen them on this tour but it’s just not the same without Glenn.
Notice that when Paul and co. were playing the outro (Heartache Tonight), Glenn immediately jumped back behind the piano to join in. Once an Eagle.....
Song written extraordinaire in America's best cross over band, Country Rock n Roll and Heavy Metal genres combined into The Eagles true to form they flew higher then most could.
Thanks for posting this.I remember this like it was last week. Two of my all time favorite people. This last year has been tough DL retires and GF checks out of The Hotel California
1:47, I'm welling-up now. I'll cry all day if I listen!! I don't have that kind of patience! haha! God Bless You Glenn, Thank You for all the wonderful music.
So strange to hear Glenn singing a song Don always has. I think it would have been interesting if they had released an album of their greatest hits with none of the members singing their own songs. Don singing Life's Been Good, Joe singing Hotel California, Glenn singing I Can't Tell You Why, Randy singing Heartache Tonight, etc... I'm sure I'm far from the first person to have suggested it.
“Their steely knives “Was The Eagles paying homage to Steely Dan who had the lyrics in one of their tunes “turn up the Eagles the neighbors can hear us fighting.”
LOL naughty band of the Eagles! Love these guys, specially Glenn & Don, they are like the tandem of Lennon & McCartney in composing songs, not so noisy, their music were /are just cool, rock & country songs! Even you turn the volume louder my neighbors are not closing their windows and doors :)
So glad to hear that they all kicked their extra curricular habits that were so prevalent back in the day. I have heard Felder is still battling his addiction to the Reality/Conspiracy/Bitter Undertones pills he was strung out on. He appeared to have them beat in 94 when He'll Froze Over but in a short time you could see he was Popping the shit out of them once again.
Ray Charles did not write this song. Don Henley started writing this song even before they formed the Eagles band, and Glenn Frey and Don finished the song later on.
N.J. Patton Henley says somewhere that the original idea of the song or the refrain to the song was something like, “Leo, My God, Why Don’t You Come To Your Senses?”.....to a friend he had.
@@theelf152 If I could rate The Eagles singers (best or most distinctive being first), it would be: 1. Henley 2. Meisner 3. Tie between Frey and Schmidt 4. Walsh 5. Leadon
@@dadduorp Without any doubt whatsoever. Henley, Schmidt/Meisner, Frey/Leadon, Walsh. Glenn R I P has a really flat mid range voice - it just blends and adds body to Don's higher smoother register. I think "I can't tell you why" is one of the most beautiful romantic songs ever written and Timothy's voice just like on "Love will keep us alive" is brilliant, that's why I can't split him from Randy's performance of take it to the limit and his epic background vocals on so many songs...Unsurprising given they both came from POCO. Bernie and Glenn both have that flat full bodied tone that works perfectly with Folk/Country.& Joe bless him would even answer "I'm a good guitarist if asked".Ohh & Felder like Joe but even less seasoned. But the Eagles IMO would be absolutely nothing without Henley not just his voice and style of singing but his lyrical genius and stickler for perfection was exactly why those songs are timeless classics. His body of solo work, duets and collaborations are extraordinary in his own right.
Glenn was much more prolific than Don Henley musically but he had to start singing less and less due to the fact that Don was writing most of the material and his voice was much better. between the two. Randy Meisner and Timothy were the best voices in the band but they could not sing lead otherwise they would have get all the attention and people had to known who was the leader(s). R. I. P. Glenn.
Nowhere near as good as Don. Don is the only true vocalist in the band. I would see Timothy B Schmidt is probably next. Don/Glenns vocals just blend perfectly when they sing together.
Nice to hear Frey sing it but I think Henley had the better vocal tone that fit the lyrics and melody. Would love to have heard guest Elliot Randell put a guitar solo on it. Elliot Randell is the studio pro that put down one of the all time greatest lead guitar solos in history. I'm talking about Reelin in the Years by Steely Dan of course!
Mot artists would want to play and plug their new song but Glenn opted to do something different. He had a great voice and even a cool look once he cut his hair and cleaned up. His first solo album "No Fun Aloud" is my favorite Eagle solo record.
Glenn Frey… yeah, yeah, (tongue firmly in cheek of course) Elliott Randall now there is an under-appreciated musician that helped create a lot of great songs behind the scenes. Check out some of the great guitar work he’s done. Namely Steely Dan.
