David Lindley (in my opinion) was a way better back up musician than he was on his own.

Singin' for their supper.

Yes he is. Great songwriter, about as down to Earth as you're gonna get.

International treasure

And so is David Lindley!

Imma give the mic back in a second, just here to say that Mr. Dave is a national goddamn treasure!

Indeed....

He has a brain full of verbosity. He has to stop himself from every song becoming an historical novel.

No need to write down the Eagles. They had quite a lot songs on the level of "Take it easy".

Eagles were a force to be reckoned with. Lots of great tunes.

Cole Trickle Epic song writer. He’s a genius.

There are so many albums to choose from. I'm with you on "Late For The Sky", I think "I'm Alive" is a close contender, I love "Too Many Angels".

@@carolyncastle123 you have to listen to Time The Conqueror and Standing in the Breach, it may take a few listens but then you’ll hear it! I’m waiting for the new album.

Right on !!!

@@carolyncastle123 I discovered Too Many Angels only recently and am obsessed with it. Love everything he’s done - just some more than others.

I stopped there on a short bus hop while hitching to Cali from East Tennessee.

At that age I assumed David Lindley was Glenn Frey lol

Frey made this the Eagles hit that it was! Jackson himself states that Frey transformed this song. A song that would of sat on the shelf and probably would of never been finished like so many songs that were started by many artist.

Agreed.

bullshit this is Jacksons song and it would have been great no matter what. His mistake for letting that creep steal it

Jackson's mentioning of it might have something to do with the fact that some people (not his oldest fans) ONLY know the Eagles' version. That said, yeah... it seems odd that Frey wouldn't have mentioned it, particularly because it's such a great story. It's possible, though, that since it was the band's gangbuster entry into the popular music world, he didn't want to lessen the band's bona fides. Maybe Henley could speak to that at some point.

@@czarkhasm @william Knell Both Henley and Frey have gone on record saying that they and many others were greatly influenced by Jackson's song writing in those early days and they even give him credit for helping them get signed by Geffen - their fist recording contract!

If you ever see Don Henly in a bar, remind him that 80% of the Eagles hits were written or co-written by others. Take it Easy Peaceful Easy Feeling Already Gone Take it To the Limit Best of My Love Hotel California Lyin Eyes and Tequila Sunrise were written by Frey and Henly, but they are basically the same song.

They still have the sign there, right?

steben53. Savante

man, those shoes lol

always...

And always the best musician in the room!

By a mile.

Was it a jar of mayo just plonked there?

It's dust now

It looks like a church potluck

Lindley elevated JBs music to another level akin to attaining heaven

Cool 100% true anecdote. A friend has a guitar shop. A young customer walks in, looks around, deep in thought. Finally my friend walks over to him. 'Can I help?' The kid says 'yeah I want a guitar so I sound like the Eagles'. My friend says 'oh but you can't do that with only one guitarist, you need two, and the one has to use an open tuning!' So he calls me over, has me pick up an acoustic, says 'Take It Easy', grabs another acoustic fast as anything, retunes it to open G on the fly, I start in, my friend follows along, the kid goes 'WOW!' Amazing sound one gets...

Hello 👋 Nancy How're you doing. Thanks for this comment, I'm nothing without fans like you who appreciate my musical craftiness It's nice meeting you here.

Hello 👋 Nancy. How are you doing.. feel free to talk me on mail and you can send me a text anytime you want

On the Jackson's album For Everyman. As much as l love the Eagles, l find Jackson's version superior. Perhaps especially the transition into Our Lady of the Well.

Oh what a beautiful outro gets me everytime without fail

Totally agree....that transition is something really special.

Back when radio was real and would actually play the whole thing!

You've heard Lindley's Werewolves of London?

Yes.

+krame99 I would love that! One more time around!

Chris85 - That would be amazing

they are going on tour next year with Deacon frey filling for glenn

It made him a lot more money by having it on the Eagles albums . The Eagles Greatest hits just surpassed Thriller as the best selling of all time .

+HotRodSixString Well, it deserves it. I'm glad.

Best dressed man in ska, hands down.

@Angel Bulldog That's exactly what I was gonna say! Nah man, he's perfect just like that - grooving on down the line

LoL!!! I totally get where you're coming from on that, but he wouldn't be David Lindley if he didn't dress the way he did and does. And without David bringing his very uniqueness to the entire picture, much of the magic would be lost. 🎻 😊

valbar1001, did you get to Winslow? Hope you did.

valbar1001 the song was actually written in Flagstaff but the name was bumped because it didn't fit

Somebody out there did. Wonder if the knew? Or if they're sharing cool stories with their kids. I have a few, but nothing close to JB & Eagles.

It’s called greed! No smile from him unless it involves lots of 💰 💵 money!

I love his singing, drumming, song writing and his musical compositions, but jeez the guy is as boring as a cardboard box whenever he talks. Lighten up, while you still can Don FFS.

Looks like he killed a dude

...maybe that dude was called don Felder idk

Flashing that sweet smile to Lindley is something to behold in appreciation of David Lindley.

Thank You most people try to give Felder full credit for Hotel California. But without Henley and Frey he does not have a song.

@@jamar182 Without Felder's opening riff, Frey and Henly don't have their biggest hit.
