Hey, Eagles on LIVE tv now: NBC
 

a 2 hour special from Australia. Sounding good. Apparently a filmed show. No Stevie. That'll be in just two more days!

Farewell Tour.. yea ok..The Stones started that back in the 80's. :distress:

I'm watching, more like just listening, to it now. Seems like a dumb move, though, broadcasting on network TV the same show about to be released on DVD? Wait a sec, didn't FM do the same thing w/ Live in Boston? D'OH!

I don't know. Might depend on how much NBC paid for the rights. I would hardly call NBC & PBS equal exposure though, especially considering that many of the PBS affiliates did not show any thing even remotely resembling a full show.

Whats with the Farewell 1?? What is there going to be a Farewell 2?

This is probably a chopped up version of the dvd...

I don't know... It's kind of mellow :confused: Sounds good and looks good though.

Who's the young hottie on keyboards. :blob2:

I don't know...have to go look again...is that Scott Crago on percussion? And is that guitar player on the right the same guy who has been touring w/ Tom Petty?

I don't know the keyboardist. Maybe L&M will say. The guitarist next to Joe is Steuart Smith, an great talent. He's not Felder's "replacement" but he definitely holds his own on stage.

Joe is amazing on the slide. He totally makes Hotel California, along with Don Henley's vocals. But Joe is definitely the clown of the band and gets everyone on their feet. He has practically a cult following.

Funny to see Don looking scruffy! :laugh:

They said earlier "FAREWELL ONE---FARWELL 2 TOUR STARTS SHORTLY IM SURE" lol

good show so far...the DVD will be longer according to the Eagles sites...they look better here to me than the HELL FREEZES OVER show

Chris

I bet there will be some of their solo songs on that. For me, I don't know that it's better than Hell Freezes Over, because that was just totally a miracle. I think I'll buy this though- they all sounds great. I was thinking, Stevie could sing Desperato with Don as a close to her 10 shows with him. Their harmonies would be the best!

Ozzy even did a farewell tour....altho shortly he came back with a new tour called RETIREMENT SUCKS TOUR lol

Chris

I missed it! I fell asleep again. :(

I read they were replaying it on some cable station. Maybe it was Bravo? Check your local listings or tvguide.com

I saw about an hour of it yesterday and was totally impressed with how great they sounded. Especially Don Henley. Of course, now that I know that OVERDUBBING is a bands ancient chinese secret to making them sound better, who know's if they're really that good.

On another note, they reminded me of Fleetwood Mac during the interview segments where they were talking about being at their personal best regarding their performances and musianship. They were almost saying the same exact things Lindsey, Stevie and Mick did in all their little interview segments.

No (see below). Scott Thurston is the "new" guy with the Heartbreakers...he used to be in The Motels. (he took Tim McGovern's place in the Motels when Tim left to form "Burning Sensations"...anyone remember "Belly Of The Whale"?)

Not too shabby...but then he learned Felder's licks note-for-note off the albums. Pretty much anyone who's played guitar for three years can do that.

Considering he was already an established artist with multiple albums of his own under his belt (as well a couple of "hits" with his previous band The James Gang) BEFORE he joined the Eagles, yeah, I guess "cult following" would be an understatement.

I didn't watch the show but Scotty Crago has been drumming for the Eagles for several years.

Does he sound better with them than he did with Stevie?

The hot keyboard player is Will Hollis. (www.willhollis.com)
He's a really nice guy.

Thank you for the info. L&M. I saw your site and checked the blog. You have a GREAT site over there and it's great to see the enthusiasm. Fan run sites usually are the best! :nod:

Here you go, from the L&M fan site; you can always count on the fans to get the information out!:

"The special will be rebroadcast on cable channel BRAVO. You can catch the repeat on June 2nd at 9 PM ET and on June 3rd at 12:30 PM ET."

You can also catch the Eagles on the front of your "Costco Connections" magazine!!! :laugh: seriously, we got it at work today, and there they all are! :rolleyes:

Thanks! He's doing the Don/Stevie shows! :thumbsup:

I wasnt real familar with the Eagles other then hearing their songs, and can say now that Joe Walsh rocks and Life's Been Good was by far the show's highlight. The rest of the Eagles really dont impress me much, but other real highlights were Take It Easy, Heartache Tonight, Already Gone and Hotel California. Don Felder is the better singer of him and DH. The only thing I can say for certain is John McVie is by far the better Base player!

I think you mean Glenn Frey, not Don Felder. Felder is no longer with the band.
