Glenn Frey Sad

I became quite emotional at my last Eagles concert, May 19, 2015, at the Frank Erwin Center, when Bernie Leadon played the solo during "Peaceful Easy Feeling."  I think I knew it was my final chance to see the Eagles, but I didn't know how final it really was.


Didn't know they asked Bernie up.  That's cool.  He was my favourite Eagle.  Partly because he'd been a Burrito, but mostly because of how he played that Tele.

Jules


Bernie was their secret weapon on the "History of the Eagles Tour."  He plugged a hole created by the firing of Don Felder, he was a bridge to the old songs they dusted off for this tour, and (let's be honest) Joe Walsh never played Bernie's parts properly.  RIP Glenn and I will never forget those concerts (1994 - Alamodome in San Antonio; 1995 - Memorial Stadium in Austin; 2003 - Nokia Live in Grand Prairie; 2010 - ACL Festival, Austin; 2013 - American Airlines Center in Dallas; 2015 - Frank Erwin Center in Austin).

Trivia - Former Texas Gov. Ann Richards attended the Eagles show at Memorial Stadium in Austin, and they provided her with a front row seat on the field.  She entered the stadium from the tunnel under the stage (I assume she met with the band before the show) and someone put a spotlight on her big pouffy hairdo.  A big cheer went up because everyone recognized her even though we could only see the top of her head.

I think Take it Easy is one of the best songs they ever recorded.


I think Take It Easy is the best song they ever recorded.  Peaceful Easy Feeling would be second.  I can take or leave everything else.

I really liked The Eagles when they were mostly a country rock band, not so much after Joe Walsh joined.
They made a lot of great songs imo.

I wanted to go and see them at Bingley Hall back in 1977, but no way was I going to pay £3.50 for a ticket, what a ridiculous amount. I'm glad I took a firm stand, otherwise ticket prices could have got out of hand.  Roll Eyes

Strange that none of the obits, etc, that I have seen or heard has mentioned Tin Machine... Wink

But I guess one or two clunkers in the midst of that back catalogue can be forgiven!
Most of the obits I heard were on the radio and they all mentioned Tim Machine, albeit as an "...he didn't always hit the mark.." comment  Roll Eyes

I only found out yesterday that he played sax for Steeleye Span (can't recall the track). A man of many parts, talents and facets. Some people have bemoaned the coverage given to his death, I don't think it was overdone at all - he was up there with Elvis, Sinatra, Michael Jackson etc.

Did anyone hear Rick Wakeman play Life on Mars at the end of Simon Mayo's radio show yesterday?  Cry it was beautiful


I think this is on  Rick's Piano Album, along with Yes favourites, and others.

Rick spoke at length about David Bowie on yesterday's R4 news.


And now it's coming out as a single . .:
