Hey everybody, Michael here! This video has been re-uploaded! Go to kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n96ShpCmtNmbeGg.html

I was walking down the street humming "Peaceful, Easy Feeling" and the Eagles team of 1500 lawyers descended upon me with a Cease and Desist".

You’re right on target. When Frey, Henley and their business manager decided THEY were the Eagles and deserved a bigger piece than their band mates, was the beginning of the end.

When they got too big in the head and kicked out Don Felder because he wouldn’t accept backing musician status/pay I lost respect.

They committed suicide with their arrogance and mightier than thou attitude. Frey and Henley, in particular.

The Eagles died when Glenn Fry died. Firing Don Felder did not help, but I would go to an Eagles Concert with Henley, Fry, Walsh, and Schmidt. I would not go now.

I knew I would never feel the same about the Eagles after I watched a live concert DVD with Don Felder's replacement. I realized how important the tone of Felder's guitar was to their sound. I totally agree that today's line up should be Henley and friends and I just can't get into at all.

I agree with the instead of going out as The Eagles, go out as Don Henley and friends of the Eagles or something like that. I personally refuse to pay huge ticket prices regardless.

Certainly Joe Walsh is a great guitarist and gets plenty of recognition, but it is Don Felder that is just an amazing guitarist - raising the bar for all guitarists who is overlooked and not given the recognition so very deserved. He may not be in top 10 best all time guitarists, but he deserves to be in the top 20. Yes he is THAT good!

I saw Don Felder at a half time show at a Raiders game at Las Vegas, phenomenal!

Don Felder is a decent guy. I can't say the same about Don Henley.

I was so fortunate to see the Eagles on the Hell Freezes Over tour. It was fantastic. Then Don Felder is fired. I love all Eagles material but to fire one of the greatest guitarist in the bizz seemed outlandish. No way would I ever spend 1 penny to see them without Felder. And Eagles ticket prices were outlandish starting on that Hell Freezes tour. A few years later ( maybe 10 ) I had the great pleasure to see Don Felder at The Ottawa Blues Festival playing all those great Eagles tunes and his own solo tunes ( All Of You and Take a Ride on Heavy Metal ) . He was amazing and the band was on fire. Tommy Shaw came out to play Hotel California. Wonderful. I`d love to go see Don Henley as a solo show but this Eagles pretense has got to stop.( RIP Glen )

The Eagles were never as good after Randy Meisner left (he co-wrote my favorite Eagles song Take it to the Limit) and sure the Long Run had some decent music in it but it doesn't compare to the rest of their catalogue. I have lost respect for musicians who tour the way they do now and would never pay that kind of money to see a shadow of a band.

"Desperado" IS the best Eagles record. The songs and the singing are out of this world.

The day that Don Felder was no longer an Eagle was the day I was done with the band. Felder put the Eagles on the rock n roll map. The guitar work of Frey or Leadon certainly was not enough to get them Arena/Stadium status. They would have just been another soft rock 70's act like Poco, Firefall, America, Pure Prairie League, and probably would have faded away as a band completely.

The Eagles won't be worth much of anything in another generation. They block all of their music from existing anywhere on the internet unless they upload it themselves. They do this more intensely than just about any band in history. Today's youth (and tomorrow's) don't listen to the radio. They don't go to CD stores. They discover music on the internet. The Eagles don't exist to be found by almost anyone under the age of 30. In another 20 years that'll be anyone under the age of 50. They're going to become completely forgotten. Completely obscure.

02:13 I felt the same way with Paul Rodgers singing with Queen!

If anyone killed the Eagles it was Frey. He was obviously jealous of Felder’s talent, and that he came up with the biggest Eagles hit, hands down. Felder was a thorn in his side and Frey couldn’t stop picking at the wound. Didn’t help much that Henley just sort of sat there letting it happen like an enabling wife.

Agree. I prefer the early Eagles, including when Don Felder came on. Hotel California is their masterpiece, no doubt. The Long Run is just good overall, for me, and I also believe it was the end of The Eagles. Since then it's just a cash grab 💰💰😎😎

I agree with you whole heartedly, Michael! The Long Run was the beginning of the end for this great American band! When they fired Don Felder for trying to stick up for himself, my respect for them was damaged for good! The current line up is a joke!!

The only time I saw them live was just after they fired Felder. It was not the Eagles as far as I was concerned. They played quite a few Joe Walsh songs. Which, in itself, is not so bad, but I paid for Eagles music. So, for me, the Eagles ceased to be when they fired Felder.

In The History of the Eagles, I felt that at least Frey put himself out there. Henley seems very sneaky and the way he referred to Don Felder as “Mr Felder” like it’s a deposition.

I am so elated to hear your praise for Barnstorm. That first album is my favorite album of all time, it just connects deep inside of my psyche.

I'm inclined to agree. That being said, I'd argue for qualifying one point: The Eagles died in '94 when the decision was made to only feature the Long Run lineup for the reunion, rather than inviting Leadon and Meisner to join the party. One of that band's finest hours for my money was when all seven got together to play the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony: that was a glimpse into a possible future wherein the band would still be releasing new music that could stand toe-to-toe with their heyday material.

How many Eagles fans prefer One Of These Nights over Hotel California? Count one right here! Great commentary, Michael, you are right on, as per usual!

You're right, the Eagles died with the breakup after The Long Run was released. But, they began their slow death with the leaving of Bernie Leadon; their illness progressed when Randy Meisner left, and the end came with the breakup in 1980. That was the end of the classic Eagles. All of their iterations since the reforming in '94 (even though they have put out new material) have just been the Vegas version of the band.

Absolutely agree. I think when Frey pushed Leadon out because he wanted a more rock sound and Walsh was added the beginning of the Frey- Henley dictatorship began. And when Irving Azoff got put into the mix later on business wise the GREED really began.

Going to see the Eagles is really going to see an Eagle and his employees and the same applies to the Beach Boys

To be fair, only two of the original five Rolling Stones are still going and nobody seems to question that. I was an Eagles fan in the early 70s, Desperado etc before they became very popular. A friend of mine was a staunch Eagles fan and was over the moon to get the contract to chauffeur them during one leg of of their tour. Because of that gig, he can't bring himself to listen to their music anymore. That's how much he thought of them as human beings.

To me, ironically it's Don Henley and Glen Frey (RIP) That not only built the eagles but have collectively destroyed them in there golden years. The eagles we're not just about the great songwriting of the 2 and Don Henley's great voice, they were about harmony and other fantastic musicians. After their final take over and law suit against Don Felder, Frey and Henleys new incarnation of the eagles was NEVER the same. There are rules to each and every member, certain places they can't move on stage, how to behave, etc, and Don Henley has made it like a dictatorship. He has always been 100% about the greed of the business. Never about the fans, what they want, or the other members of the band. Sure it's a recipe for success with a voice and skills like his, but it's also a recipe for what's happening to them now. Why anyone would even go and see this is beyond me, Id pay more money to go see the other surviving members that he won't let in the band

Just found your channel and so HAPPY I Did! I just subscribed. Thanks for the great videos, man! Really a help to me on nights like these! 👍

Uriah Heep with David Byron on vocals - the ultimate most authentic rock band ever - not to take anything away from Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple. Brilliant and incomperable to this day - that is the line ups as they were at their peak. It's not just The Eagles that died - it's authentic rock itself that's gone. I stopped listening to modern rock bands a long time ago. They fall terribly short of these giants of rock. I could listen to Uriah Heep's Demons and Wizards or Look at Yourself albums forever because its pure rock artistry.

Don Felder’s exit from the Eagles to me was the end of the Eagle’s and I can’t believe that Joe Walsh continue playing without Don Felder in the band. RIP Eagles, You are not the same without Don Felder.

Great insights into the Eagles history. I agree that the current version of the band is misrepresenting itself a bit for financial gain. Henley and Frye wanted it all and left a hole in the band that could never be filled in because of their own egos and greed.

Never heard of Michael Noland before today. Amazing commentary. This channel should should have millions of subscribers, hope it will gain that success quickly.

People still line up because of the Name and the material and Henley being "the voice" so to speak. I fell out with them when they fired Felder, arguably one of the best guitarists to ever come down the pike. He so well understood that more is not necessarily better. He just came up with parts that fit so well. And I would challenge anyone to come up with a better duo that Felder and Walsh on the same stage. Amazing. It's interesting. We now have two Eagles cover bands. One has the singer, the other has the guitar player. Both worth more than they can ever spend, so why aren't they playing together? Certainly more money won't make any difference in what they eat tomorrow.

I love the 70s albums, and I saw the History of the Eagles tour which was actually very good and worth seeing (paid 70 euros for the ticket which is also a fair price in this day and age and Bernie Leadon was back on that tour). But I will not see the current line up as I do agree this is not the Eagles anymore. It really died with Glenn Frey.

I think bands who tour without writing new material just become legacy bands. Roger Glover (Deep Purple) stated back in around 2011 that he wanted the band to record new music to keep things vibrant and interesting. Hence the rebirth (at least here in the U.K) where the band have become a top 5 act again due, in part, to the 3 albums they recorded between 2013 and 2020.

What a great retrospective. Thank you.

Dude, you hit the nail on the head. Michael, thanks for telling it like it is!! I saw the Eagles in the spring of 73 at the end of the tour for desperado. That’s the only time I’ve seen the Eagles and I agree that after Bernie Leadon left, they were not the same Eagles on the border is my favorite album, but desperado is an amazing production, and, the first album says it all about the Eagles.

Definitely in my top ten, Beatles still number one!!😁😁🇬🇧

Great analysis! I've never seen them live, but you are spot on with your observations.

I always laugh at Henley and Frey claiming that “Felder was greedy” when it was them that demanded to be paid more. Felder was only demanding what he was contractually owed, but Henley and Frey were bound and determined to cheat him out of it.

That’s yet another reason I respect Rush. No Rush without Neil.

The Eagles lost their innocence when Bernie Leadon left the band. They didn't die, but they lost their identity and became an industry, the west coast music industry .

Wow that’s interesting about The Eagles 🦅!!!! Great job and informative as well, thanks for sharing your thoughts!

When Randy left, hands down. The harmonies changed, he was the secret recipe. Never appreciated as much as he should have been.

I was at the first show they did in Detroit since Glenn died, whatever you want to call them it was an incredible night of music. Deacon was overcome with emotion, as most of them were, having virtually all of Glenn's Michigan family and old friends in attendance, and a sold out arena erupting in support of Deacon and in memory of our fallen son. This was also very early on with Vince Gill and he rose to meet the moment as well, though I was floored that they largely excluded him from the nights guitar stylings in favor of Joe Walsh and the longtime side man Steuart Smith. The show was very rigidly directed with seemingly no space for actual improvisation, seemed ironic that Don Henley introduced Vince as one of the greatest living guitar players, then kept him from playing more than one solo all night. The tickets weren't cheap, but weren't anywhere near the prices you mentioned, I think I payed just over $100 per seat. It was a genuinely great show. I still feel like on that night I saw the Eagles.

I agree with you on just about everything you said. I will add however, why I don't think of the Eagles as "the Eagles" now, and haven't been, for a very long time. You have guys in their 70's trying to do songs from the 70's, and their voices simply cannot get to those high notes anymore. In fact, they've pretty much lost their "singing" voices. So, in order to fix this, they drop the keys of the original songs to lower singing registers, and somehow believe that this is passable to the original fans. Um, no! Don't screw with the original keys of the songs! Once this is done, the original songs immediately lose their value, to me. I think the Eagles died when Felder left the band. He is half the guitar soloing on their most played, most popular song: Hotel California. You can't just dismiss him as being a hired gun. Sidenote: Frey, Walsh and Schmit are all Scorpios; and Scorpio's all stick together. Believe me, that had a lot to do with all of it.

Really enjoy listening to you Michael . I find I am agreeing with a lot of your comments . Keep up the great content 👍

Your R and R Mount Olympus is a better gauge of greatness than the Hall of Fame.

Don Henley owns the name. He’s worked his butt off his entire life building and maintaining the band and BRAND. There is still a fan base that is willing to pay the ticket prices to see them. 3/5 of the musicians that recorded “The Long Run” are are on that stage every night. That’s the Eagles band, and I gotta tell you, they sound pretty damned good. But The Eagles are more than that. They are an entire organization owned by Don Henley, run by Irving Azoff, and employing hundreds. The band is only part of it. But at least there is only one group of musicians using the name. Love your show, but I can’t agree with your position. You arent being forced to go, but the people who do are usually pretty happy. The Dodgers still broadcast games even though Vin Scully is gone!

Had a chance to see Don Felder earlier this year. Put on a great solo show. He really seemed happy and his vocals were good. Didn't cost an arm and leg either! IMO the Eagles died when they fired Don Felder. Hotel California with Felder and Walsh going back and forth can't be topped (sorry Stuart).

Excellent analysis Michael. Enjoyed it 🎸🎸🎸

Fun fact. Steve Martin was friends with them before they formed the band. He said they would get upset when people called them The Eagles. They said the name of the band was Eagles and not The Eagles.

In 1978 me and the art teacher were making accoustic guitars for my art exam, he had the Album hotel California playing every damn lesson haha, it's sadly all about the money everytime

Hi, I've watched a couple of your videos and really appreciate the balanced way you deal with each subject. No sensationalism or disrespect, just your viewpoint, but ready to call out the "Let's just gloss over that" side of things a lot of fans tend to do. Liked, subbed and bell dinged 👍 keep it up man 👏

I'm planning on going on tour as Crosby Stills Nash & Young! Hope to see you at the show. If Foriegner and other bands can tour without any original members I may as well do it!

Hi Michael. They'd have to pay me a heck of a lot more than $5000 to go to a Eagles gig.

Grateful Dead remaining members got it right by assuming a new band name and recruiting John Mayer to take the role of Jerry Garcia, but not posing himself as a replacement for Garcia. This allows them to connect to the Dead’s legacy of songs and to also do other things and be their own entity.

I.ve recently written a book on the Eagles and I have exactly the same reasining you said. This isDon Henley's Eafles Truute Band . Sorry Felder & Leadon, RIP Meisner & Frey, you were great and sorely missed.

Hi Michael, another great discussion about an iconic band. I Recently listened to an Eagles concert performance with Vince Gill. I thought instrumentally they held up very good. I did find the band lagging lyrically. Even though the entire stadium was singing the song with them the difference was palpable. This is not a reflection on Vince Gill's talent but just to say they don't sound like the Eagles I want to hear.

I agree with you Michael - I'd say they were done when they got rid of Felder. I saw the eagles a couple of times the last being the Long Road Out Of Eden tour and over paid for tickets (it's embarrassing to mention ) and it was a good concert. But there are two trains of thought when going to see a band - the first one is to want to hear the songs exactly like the CDs, every solo note for note like the album, every vocal part etc. The second one is to go hoping for a unique experience where they change it up a bit. The Eagle are in the first category. It was like listening to a sterile CD. I personally prefer category two. I get it that that kind of music most people want to hear the hits like the album but God forbid the guitar solo be in the moment. We enjoyed the show but I won't go again, especially at these rip off prices. Just feel they were/are all about the money. What is Henley's net worth ? Around 250 million, the poor guy...

The Eagles - Great career one of top 15 bands of all time. I listen to Scott Shannon's true oldies channel and Hotel California is one of the most popular songs to be played.

They ceased to exist without Felder…and what pisses me off the most is that Joe Walsh owes his life to him and doesn’t even give him the time of day now.

Totally agree with everything you have said. I played a gig with the 'Dakotas' of 'Billy J Kramer' fame. There was one remaining member of the 60's group and not long after he left and was replaced. I suggested on one of their KZfaq videos they were now a covers band. They blocked me. What annoys me is they are getting big gigs because they are called the 'Dakotas' but its not them! How many 'Drifters' groups are there out there? There must be at least 50 in Europe! They are not the Drifters!! They are too young for a start.

I totally agree! Your personal history is the same as mine. My parents were also country western fans when I was growing up. I was done with that by the time I was a teen. But the Eagles gave me renewed appreciation for my parents music. In fact the whole 70s "Southern California Sound" like Jackson Browne, Linda Rodstate, Poco, etc. I loved how the Eagles evolved. But you're right. They died after throwing Felder under the bus. Henley is so obsessed with the corporate name now that he has an army of KZfaq cops pulling down Eagles videos and instructional aides. I loved the guys back in the 70s. But total disappointment now.

Well Michael I saw the Eagles in '72 backing up Gentle Giant and Yes.At the end of the night the Eagles were still the third best band.They only had one album out and I still think it's their best.Oh by the way I paid $2.50

Folks are buying tickets because when they were big in the seventies they were their favorite band and relate great moments in their life. They are trying to feel those times again.

Very well said. Michael you are right on point for the whole thing.

I went to see The Eagles when they toured Australia on their History tour just under a year before Glen died. First saw them in Perth and then when I returned to Sydney a couple of weeks later went to see them a second time with my wife. Both shows were phenominal. It has to be said though, Joe stole the show.

Long Road Out Of Eden, one of my favorite Eagle albums...When Glenn Frey died, there was no way they could replace him.

Henley is unhappy about everything.

I've felt the same way for a couple of decades or more, as soon as Felder left, I couldn't stomach the new version of the eagles from then on.

Hello, Michael. I am new to this channel. I agree with you that the Eagles died because of Don Henley and Glenn Frey’s greed. And in my opinion, the Eagles were the never the same without Don Felder.

I perfer to go see...the Doobie Brothers...or Kansas. These guys still rock and put on a good show for half the price. KANSAS tix were under 100.00.

I got into the Eagles when I first heard the On The Border album. The previous albums were OK, as country rock albums go. By the time The Long Run dropped, it was obvious that they were starting to struggle in several respects. For me, the Eagles died at the Long Night at Wrong Beach.

I enjoyed your video and you are spot on

You and I would connect immediately. I not only feel the same way, but express it the same way too! I first met Randy Meisner when we opened for Ricky Nelson in Norfolk, NE in 1971. Then I saw him with POCO in Boulder, CO later that year, (I think it was). When he left Poco, and Schmitt replaced him, I didn't really feel like it was Poco anymore. Then, when he left the Eagles, and Schmitt replaced him, I didn't feel like it was the Eagles anymore. I used to joke, How many more bands is he going to leave and be replaced by Timothy B. Schmitt? I enjoyed the video very much! Thanks!

The original line up of the eagles was the best and joe Walsh in the band was great I like joe Walsh alot in his James gang days I agree with you on what you say here I also like the eagles 2nd album. I hope you talk about the band moody blue's one day one of my favorite I think when glenn died that was the end for this band Glenn took a big part of the band with him

I have to agree with you Michael regarding the Eagles, and what you said. There are plenty of these tribute bands around, for example Lynyrd Skynyrd. Gary Rossington is the only original member, and Ronnie Van Zant's brother singing lead vocals, I will pass. Queen and Adam Lambert, just awful to me, how can you replace Freddie Mercury? So true and the price they charge is insane for nothing like the original.

Eagles were the Eagle throught the Long Run. You are right. Six years is about the limit for a great band.

I consider myself an Eagles fan! Their swan song wasHotel California. When The Long Run came out, I was disappointed. Something was missing.There was trouble in paradise. I knew it was the beginning of the end. They were not alone. It would take a few years and many brave bands too make music cool and good again!

I saw them a few months ago. They were fantastic! I've also seen Don Felder solo and it was like seeing an Eagles show.

Joe Walsh took me with him to The Eagles Concert in Memphis in 1994. Let us ride and sit on the side of the stage and watch and listen. It's a night I'll never forget!!! Trouble is, I went backstage to his dressing room at intermission and Joe was by himself. Tickets were $85 back then. Anyway it was great fun cause Joe and I had worked together at our studio in Memphis, TN.

It looks like I agree with you 100%. Also, it should be noted that their super hit - *_Hotel California_* - was largely Don Felder's baby with Henley adding the lyrics. It was the Eagles - *_Stairway To Heaven,_* - so to speak making Felder deserving of equal concert earnings. And, was Glen Frey's song - *_Get Over It_* - autobiographical? He sure seems to be singing about himself there.

I’ve seen some Don Felder interviews. He was part of the “corporation “. He was making $$$ aside from playing. I understand he sued them not for kicking him out, but not compensating him from the corporation. He’s better off now. Maybe not making as much money, but definitely a satisfied mind. I love The Eagles, but would not go see them now. I saw them in 1980 before the breakup. $15 with 3 opening acts.

I have to give Def Leppard some due because they always are recording new material and although they don’t match the greatness of their 80s stuff it is still good music. They still got the touch.

You saw an Eagles' lineup in 1994 when they did Hell Freezes Over for MTV Unplugged. That was, for me, their reincarnation. I was glad The Eagles were on tour and in fact saw them in 98-the only time (I hate to admit it) that I saw an Eagles concert. Once Joe Walsb came to the band and brought his James Gang sound to it they really sounded like a hard rock band. I agree with you, Michael that this new lineup is simply Don Henley and friends. That's all he should market it as. Shit, he's got tons of his solo stuff he could do.

Recently came across your channel; nice job on your videos. I feel like I could sit and drink some beers while listening to to you talk away as I absorb some knowledge. It'd be a one way conversation; regardless how much I think I've learned since the 60's, it probably wouldn't add anything to your database if I spoke. I agree 100%; these reconfigured bands have stretched it too far. One of the 1st bands to start the trend was Chicago decades back. I have to give props to the surviving members of Skynyrd to reform under the name Rossington Collins band.

You pretty much described my feelings toward the band Chicago. I believe Chicago was terribly wounded with the death of Terry Kath. But, I was okay to see them continue since they still had untapped talent. Forcing Peter Cetera out of the band was a tragic mistake followed by bringing in Dave Foster to turn them into a pop band was the end of the road for me. Chicago is now nothing more than Robert Lamm's tribute to his former band with Lee Loughnane and James Pankow the last of the original members. Yet, they continue touring with Lamm billing the group as Chicago in its truest form. I also remember when Bad Company fractured in the late 1980s when Paul Rodgers and Boz Burrell split. Bad Company had a solid rock history as they rubbed shoulders with Led Zeppelin. But it was a recognizable name. So when Mick Ralphs and Simon Kirke decided to carry on with Brian Howe, the group changed their sound to what I can only describe as "cookie cutter" rock. It was awful and damaged the name of the band. Paul Rodgers returned years later but the damage was done. Alice in Chains is an exception. Losing Mike Starr and gaining Mike Inez was an improvement. But a lot of people cannot accept William DuVall replacing Layne Staley. The thing is, Staley is dead. AIC is still a relatively young band compared to the Eagles. Jerry Cantrell has a lot of talent left to share and has proven this with AICs last three albums. I have seen them in concert with DuVall and wasn't disappointed. Finally, I ask has anyone ever accepted Brian Johnson as vocalist for AC/DC? Sure the band has sold a lot of albums in the 40 years he has fronted the band. But, I feel the band died with Bon Scott. Every Album with Johnson on vocals sounds like one legthy extended album. Maybe its just me

A very good friend of ours asked us to join them at the rescheduled Eagles show in SF last year. It was only after the show when I asked what we owed for the tickets that I found out that our far from the stage upper level tickets were $250 each. Unbelievable. They are robbing their fans. Thankfully we did have a great night with our good friends.

Hello Michael...I actually loved the Eagles when they were new in the 70s...when in late summer of 80 they imploded ,I thought that was the end of that.When Hell Freezes Over happened in 1994(?) I thought cool theyre back but those ticket prices ..couldnt do it.As far as when they should have stopped...I was pissed when the whole Felder outing happened in 2001...but when Frey died that should have been it.Also when Long Road out of Eden was released..I was rooting for it to be great.Out of 20 songs....I liked 2...2.It just showed that the 70s was their golden era.Great video Mike thanx for sharing and take care

If the Bay City Rollers ain't on that mountain I'm unsubscribing. 😁

Cool stuff

Wow did you hit the nail on the head with this one, I agree 110%.

What the hell is going on with these bands 😭 I'm so sorry to hear about this. I didn't know that Vince Gill OMG 😱

I took my wife and some friends to see the Eagles in Edmonton Last month. Sat row 4 on the floor. Paid $225 Canadian per ticket (including taxes and fees) . We were treated to 3 hours of amazing music. They played Hotel California in its entirety (some songs with a full orchestra and choir) . Then, they took a brief intermission and played hits for 2 hours. That’s a pretty damn good night. And , it cost less than it would to go to a hockey game .

Hey Michael!! I'm so happy I found your channel!! Music is the balm to soul! Forget TV but don't take my music! I would go insane or die! Lol. The Eagles, such an important part of music history! Love them!! I'm in total agreement with you on your questions!! I really love your channel!! Can't wait to watch more of your factual history! As for me, every time you express your option & say "that's just my opinon"....... I am thinking exactly the same as you!! Makes me smile that if your opinion is like mine then maybe I'm not so off the mark! Lol makes me feel like damn, Michael feels the same as me so lol I guess I do know have some smarts!!! Lol love music! Its my world!! Its never must about a song, its the lyrics, the meaning of those lyrics, its each beautiful instrument coming together to create absolute magic for the ears,its who is singing it, and its the fact that music has been with me thru everyday of my 63 yrs!!yep!! The big love of my life is music!!! Love your knowledge Michael! Thank you for sharing with us ! You deliver in such a way that draws people in that lets all know you have something to say & it needs listening to! Or I guess I could say you present your knowledge in a very interesting way!! You are awesome! Love ya💕

I agree without Don it wasn’t the true Eagles anymore. But due to my age I didn’t get a chance to see the originals. With that said I’ve seen 3 amazing concerts.
