Guest Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 'Tequila Sunrise' just rolls so naturally off a G-chord, on a Gibson. Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lee Walker Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I like their older stuff, especially Doolin-Dalton and the Reprise. Outlaw Man. On The Border. Good muzak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOESTONE Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I love the Eagles. I've played most of their songs before, but the only ones in my current set list are "Take it Easy" and "Rocky Mountain Way" (Joe Walsh) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLiveSoundGuy Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Take it easy, Take it to the Limit, Hotel California, Tequila Sunrise, Doolin' Dalton, and Outlaw Man. Fun stuff to play for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honky Dog Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 For me it's the early stuff: Peaceful Easy Feeling, Take It Easy, Lyin' Eyes, The Best of My Love, and of course, Tequila Sunrise. I should add Desperado since I've played that on harp since it came out. Back in '84 or '85 I was on a flight back to Denver from L.A. Glenn Frey and a drop-dead blond (wife?) were in the waiting area. Arrived in Denver and I had to take an Aspen Airways puddle jumper to Colorado Springs. Glenn and the lady were right in front of me at the only check-in desk for Aspen Airways. I swear to god, if I'd had a harp with me I would have played the intro. Anyway, they check in for the flight to Aspen. Who would have guessed? lol [Edit: Oh, and One of These Nights. Or at least I used to in the early 80's] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWilson Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 The first time I heard the Eagles in the early 70's I fell in love with their music. All those close harmony guys are favoites of mine. "Lying Eyes" has always been a favorite. CSNY were also there as well as Little river Band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidbg63 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I like playing their old stuff, always have a request or two for something by the Eagles. I played a wedding reception last night and had a request for tequila sunrise and also Please come home for christmas, both very good tunes. I didn't see much posted about their latest cd. But there are several good acoustic songs on it as well. I am currently working on waiting in the weeds (very good love song) and also what do I do with my heart.....(tear jerker) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerpopper Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I've played all the usual suspects here, but I'm a fan of Glenn Frey songs so I include "Part of Me, Part of You" in my repertoire. I sing it a lot to my daughter. Another song with a somewhat similar theme is the last track on their latest album called "It's Your World Now." Great song, don't forget the Kleenex. But either way, I love me some Eagles... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thermionik Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 . . Hey ninety1vee - did you ever hear the James Gang sound-track for Zachariah, the western. The William Tell Overture is just the greatest. "I learned to draw at high school in my spare time....." Happy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyt Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I was a big Eagles fan -- even waited in line for the release of their first album. I liked the James Gang too. But, I sorta lost interest in the Eagles when Bernie Leadon left and Joe Walsh and that other guitarist -- what's his name -- came along. They are still good -- just not as interesting to me.

[/quote'] Don Felder Interesting piece of trivia for those that don't know it: Don Felder went to high school, at least for awile, in Gainesville, Florida and was in a band in high school there with Stephen Stills. Later after Stills left, Bernie Leadon joined the band. So Felder and Leadon were in a band together years earlier, when they were in high school. Oh, and there was a younger guy at school there at the same time, one Tom Petty. I read somewhere that Petty got some of his first guitar lessons from Felder. Damn, I bet that school has some great battle-of-the-bands contests! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyt Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Honky Dog, That is interesting. I did not know about the Stills relation. Last years Tom Petty, with brother Tom Leadon and Mudcrutch was quite good. Loved "Shady Grove", "Lover of the Bayou", etc. Whatever one's opinion now, those guys are responsible for a lot of great music and good songs for set lists.

Eddie Rondack Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 How about "My Man" from "On The Border" and "Train Leaves Here This Morning" from "Eagles"... "Midnight Flyer" is also on my band's current set list... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a HUGE Gram Parsons fan, and "My Man" is just a fantastic tribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
