    I'm a big fan of The Eagles.....I liked whatever earlier stuff they
    released but Hotel California, we all agree, is one brilliant
    album...in my opinion the inclusion of Joe Walsh in the line-up
    had a lot to do with the sound of that album and of the one that
    followed...The Long Run.....
    
    Fav. Eagles tracks.....what I can think of...:
    
    Hotel California.....says it all
    King of Hollywood....
    Wasted Time....
    Take it easy......laid back :-)
    
    
    oh yeah...not directly related to The Eagles...Don Henley's album
    'Building the perfect Beast' is excellent for anyone interested
    in giving it a listen...includes 'The Boys of Summer'
    
    DW
    
    

    	Funny, I'm a mega-fan of the Eagles, but I was dissapointed
    with "Boys of Summer". Maybe I should dig it out and give it another
    whirl.
    
    	I think their earlier stuff is a little under-rated. Also, anyone
    know anything about the rumour that they were going to make "Desperado"
    into a film? And as for the rumours of concerts in Colorado...
    
    	Keith (trying to work out how to justify a trip to Colo!)

    
    I heard the rumor of the film, too, but I don't have any details.

    
    One Of These Nights.
    
    But ... the clip of them doing 'Hotel California' on New Year Whistle
    Test was *brilliant* - the twin lead solo was perfection - the two
    guys (Walsh was one) were even chatting to each other during it.
    Real pros.
    
    Anyone else catch it?

.4�    But ... the clip of them doing 'Hotel California' on New Year Whistle
.4�    Test was *brilliant* - the twin lead solo was perfection - the two

    	I suppose it's too much to ask that anyone has this on VHS?

    
    Life in the Fast lane!!
    
    

    
    I'll always remember it as one of my favourite concert clips!! I
    first saw it in '76 on The Whistle Test and again many times later...
    
    Joe Walsh is a brilliant guitarist, a great stage man and the duo
    with Don Felder is great
    
    and yes ..I do have the footage on VHS but unfortunately it's back
    in Ireland....should have mentioned it a 10 days ago :-)
    
    
    
    Wallsie

    	Thanks, Wallsie (shall I pick it up for you next time I'm there?!)
    - actually, someone has offered by mail to resolve this deficiency
    in my video collection, so I should be OK.

    Off the subject -
    
    Anyone listened to an album titled "Rose of Cimarron" by Poco
    very eagleish....I played this album for 4 years non-stop. I think
    it is fabaroonie!!!!! Comments please?!?
    
    Eem-Gee

    RE: 21.9
    
    I too have heard some Poco in the past - that album was probably
    one of their biggest.
    
    David.
    

    I saw the Eagles in Springfield, Massachusetts USA in 1976 in concert
    with Jimmy Buffet.  They were great!!!!

    BytheWay,  Did the Eagles ever tour the U.K.?
    
    -Arthur

    
    They played here on the Hotal California tour - I saw them a Bingley
    Hall, Stafford - great gig!
    
    Think they played Wembley in later years, but not sure.

    Please explain yourself, sir.
    
    Sue (Does he know I go mad for Bakewell tarts, or was it just a
    coincidence?!)

    re .4  Hi Dave, How's things?
    
    Yes I saw that memorable Hotel California clip. I can honestly say
    that I have never known such feeling and atmosphere come across
    in ANY live film clip before. It was brilliant.
    
    I did record it BUT... It was at the tail end of an E240 tape and
    I couldn't afford to write off a whole tape just for it. At least
    thats how I felt then. I feel differently now.
    
    Richard

    Oh yes,
    
    Lyin Eyes, brill. What makes many of their songs so great is if
    you pick up a guitar and play them they still sound great (actually
    my wife doesn't think so but she's biased!). Hotel California and
    Lyin Eyes on a 12 string. Unbeatable.
    
    Richard
    

    	"Try and love again" on a six string acoustic with empty Pils
    cans lying around, probably followed by "After the thrill is gone".
    Problem is, I have to get the lodger drunk first, else she gives
    me hell..!

    12 string knackered. Kids knocked it. Cracked neck. Insurance company
    quibling but I'm winning.

    It was on TV last night.

    
    I heard 'Hotel California' on the radio this morning, coming into
    work, pumped up the volume,...ahhhh, the sun was shining,
    bee--auuutiful.
    Do they really say.:
    
    'She was definately twisted, she had the Mercedes Benz'?...Great!
                    
     They surely do!
    
    
    			Si

    
    
    Nope, Its Tiffany twisted (I do believe)
    
    Gavin

    Her mind was Tiffany twisted
    She had the Mercedes bends
    
    Doesn't Tiffany describe a style of furniture specifically a kind
    of light ??

    While we're on the subject (one of my faves, naturally), what is
    a collita?
    
    "Warm spell of collitas rising up from the ground"
    
    K.

    
    Isn't collitas a drug derived from a desert plant, similar
    to peyote?  
    
    Isn't it "Warm smell of collitas rising up through the air"?
    
    *Real* Tiffany lamps cost big bucks!
    
    Sue 

.23�    Isn't collitas a drug derived from a desert plant, similar
.23�    to peyote?  

	Well that anticipates my next question, Sue! As in the lyric
    
    	"Old peyote, she tried to show me..."

    I assumed it was in reference to the Tiffany's of "Breakfast at..."
    A very posh restaraunt, visited by the real hoi-polloi...
    
    /joe

    They're made of some sort of smooth, "molten-looking"
    metal and the stem and "shade" portion of a Tiffany 
    lamp is designed to look like a tree trunk and (sort 
    of) branches.  Hence the twisted appearance of said
    stem and shade.
    
    Sue
    
                                                         
    

    re.25
    >   I assumed it was in reference to the Tiffany's of "Breakfast at..."
    >A very posh restaraunt, visited by the real hoi-polloi...
     
    Joe, it's not a restaurant at all but a jewelry store on Fifth Ave.
    in NYC.  "Breakfast at Tiffany's" was a film starring Audrey Hepburn
    about a girl who came to NYC seeking her fortune.  It's a "dream"
    of hers to be able to shop at Tiffanys.  After rough nights on the
    town she shows up there at dawn, just staring at the place and 
    waiting for the day she can frequent the place.  Thus the title...
    
    Sue :-)

    re.24
    >"Old peyote, she tried to show me..."
      
    Is that in the same song?  Where's it from, Keith?
    
    Sue

    I plead ignorance in the first degree.  I think it's time to see that
    film instead of just hearing about it... I always liked Audrey
    anyway...
    
    /joe

.28�    Is that in the same song?  Where's it from, Keith?

	No...
    
    	"Old Peyote, she tried to show me           
    	 Oh son don't wade too deep in Bitter Creek"
    
    	"Bitter Creek" from the CD "Desperado"

    I always liked that oldie-but-goodie "Take It Easy".  I prefer
    the Eagles cover to JB's original.
    
    Where's Bitter Creek then?
    
    Sue

    
    I thot it was... "Warm smell of Juanitas", (spelling excused) a
    Mexican Flower prnounced.. huanitas...
    
    	I kud b rong
    
    G

.32�    	I kud b rong

	'Fraid so...

    Yet another version of the "Warm smell....."
    
    I thought it was :
    
    "Warm smell of calique dust, rising up throught the air"
                   -------
                no idea of spelling
    
    Just goes to show.....
    
    Dave

    Official EAGLES song book says Colitas. So does lyrics with LP.

    @Basingstoke.
    

    
    yes, it's DEFINITELY collitas!!!!!!!

.18�    ; anyone know anything about the rumour that they were going

    What was it like? Any rumours that they'll show it in the UK? Any
    more info???
    
.31�    Where's Bitter Creek then?

    In Wyoming, right at the south border just to the west of the middle.
    
    Keith

    Don't know if anyone's heard yet, but .... (this should make
    Keith's day) ... the Eagles are reuniting in the spring. 
    Don Henley and Glenn Frey are going to record an album when
    DH gets back from Japan and there will be the obligatory tour 
    to follow. 
    
    Apparently these two guys were the only important ones in the
    group because the author of the piece goes on to say that there
    is still some animosity "within" Don Felder, Timothy Schmidt and
    Joew Walsh, who was publicly feuding with Henley last year when
    both men claimed rights to play certain Eagles tunes.
    
    The headline reads The Eagles Hatch a Comeback ... funny, I thought
    the Eagles were five guys, not two.

    It made my day! Thanks, Sue - I'm *really* looking forward to this! As
    for the Eagles being five guys: yes, they were, but there were a lot of
    line-up changes during their time (virtually every album has a
    different line-up), but I would agree that Henley and Frey were the
    mainstay (although Felder did a lot too). Let's wait and see what
    happens in the Spring...

    Well, he did it... your boy Don Henley.  Got 4 Grammy nominations
    (Album of the Year and Record of the Year among them).  

    Never!! Weren't The Throwing Muses and NWA (look it up!) hot favourites
    for this most coveted prize in (godblessamerica!) this peerless
    competition for upcoming talent ?? The Grammy Awards you say ?
    Nominations ?

    Will Nobber be there ?? And Adam ("It's 30 an ounce") Clayton ?

    Sounds like a football game for one-legged men. Or smt like that.

    - Tim

>                     the Eagles are reuniting in the spring. 
>    Don Henley and Glenn Frey are going to record an album 

Anything more ever come of this?

K.

    
    Nope.  Inflated egos and artistic differences and all that...

    As somebody, somewhere once said:               
    
    		"Don Henley must die,
    		 Don't let him get back with Glen Frey"
    
    Only joking - they've both produced fairly decent solo albums - why
    throw it all away .. ??

    re: -1
    
    That is a quote from Mojo Nixon's song "Don Henley Must Die."
    
    -Vicki

    >> - they've both produced fairly decent solo albums - why
    >>throw it all away .. ??
    
    So KEdmunds could die a happy man.  He got so close last year when
    they did reunite for a couple of concerts here....only to be let
    down.  
    
    Sue

    Apparently they're still contracted to do one more album (are they
    still called that these days?) for WEA. Rumour has it that it will be
    -another- "greatest hits" album (let's see, including the live album
    that will make FOUR compilation albums..)
    
    Oh well, didn't like 'em much anyway..
    
    Keith

    This topic has been pretty quite for a while now.
    BUT.....
    The Eagles are getting together again for a World Tour.
    - Wow -
    When anyone hears of UK dates please post here.
    Looking forward to it.
    Watch out for the rush......
    Phil :-)              

    Now I know the Eagles are on tour in the US.
    Florida in November 1994.
    Anyone heard any more? Chance of European tour?

    >> Anyone heard any more
    
    Only that the tickets cost $70 !

    Warm smell of "colitas" rising up through the air...

    Eagles tour being advertised as June 24th/25th June 1995, in Germany.
    As seen in yesterdays Sunday Times.
    I believe UK dates have been announced. Anybody got any ideas?
    Phil.                       

    
     For anyone interested, the Eagles have a video out that was filmed at
    the start of their summer "Hell Freezes Over" tour and a companion CD.
    The personnel in the band are as follows.....
    
    Don Henley, Glen Frey, Timothy B. Schmidt, Don Felder, Joe Walsh.
    
     It includes some new material as well as some old standards. Well
    worth checking out.
    
     The name of the Video and CD is, as you might guess, "Hell Freezes
    Over".
    
     RG

    Wembley Stadium, 13th July 1996, EAGLES Hell Freezes Over

    The tickets said the Eagles will be on stage at 7:15pm, after support.
    Didn't really believe they would so turned up at 7:00pm expecting them
    to be on at 8-8:30'ish.
    The Eagles came on stage just after 7:20pm.
    
    Opened with "Hotel California" - wow
    The first hour was a mix of standard Eagle classics.

    A break after about an hour and a quarter.

    The next "segment" was filled with Eagles solo hits...
    The Heat is On, The Boyze of Summer, Life's been good.
    Then "Rocky Mountain Way"....	Gobsmacked!

    The last hour was building to a finale. Superb hits, everyone on their
    feet. Excellent atmosphere and excellent music.
    After numerous encores they finished off (at 10:30pm) with their last
    two numbers of the night:-
    Desperado -    lighters flickering like stars, the audience singing above
    		   the band. I couldn't believe I was really there(!).
    Take It Easy - Back to where they started.

    Excellent concert, excellent venue, excellent atmosphere (particularly
    the second set), excellent band. An all around excellent experience.

    Still haven't really got down to earth. If you even remotely like the
    Eagles then go - you will NOT be disappointed.

    - I'm going again this Friday to Manchester NYNEX.
