Absolutely…I will never understand how Glenn ended up singing Take it to The Limit when Randy left..Tim would have done the song justice, because he respected Randy.
RIP Glen Frey and Randy Meisner. Such beloved memories at your concerts in the 70"s and up until the passing of Glen. Have another Tequila sunrise. Cheers!!!!
We saw them in 96 Vancouver BC when the honeymoon of getting back together was just over the peak. Not long after that and the egos and greed became first and foremost. They blew me away when they started playing their solo hits! I never knew what became of them when they split It was AWESOME!
My fave..Peaceful Easy Feeling!!! And single by Don..Taking You Home!!! Hus gravely voice is just awesome! Love him and Glenn.!!!!! Boys of Summer is another great..as there are so many!!! Pure talent!!! Absolutely 💯 💯 💯 💯!!
Actually it was co written by Glenn Frey. He lived above Jackson at one point. He heard Jackson working on it at all hours. Frey finally asked Jackson if he could take a shot at it. At first Jackson said no, he’d finish it eventually. Months later when he still hadn’t finished it he let Glenn. He is the one that came up with the line, it’s a girl my lord in a flatbed ford. Jackson has said he didn’t even know what a flatbed ford was. I am kinda obsessed with Jackson Browne and know a bunch of musical trivia . 😊
What a difficult decision my favourite song , I think the first one I ever heard whilst shopping with my wife in london “ desperado “ we were in a boutique and it was playing , I asked one of the staff who it was . The rest is history . I never get tired of listening .
I attended a Linda Ronstat concert at my college and I'm sure some of her accompanying musicians WERE soon to be Eagles members. So I like to think anyway.

@@johnrwalker53 Not sure how they “screwed over” Don Felder there: he has a co-writing credit on the song! He received plenty of royalty money from that over the years, and still does.
@@johnrwalker53 The song and the album sold in the millions, so I'd assume the royalty payments were substantial over the years. It doesn't matter that he was fired from the band: he's still legally a creator of that piece of music, so he would get one-third of the royalties (unless he sold his interest in it). Streaming and downloads mean that the money keeps rolling in, regardless. It's their most downloaded song.
I met Glen Fry in Big Daddy’s in West Palm Beach Florida. I was a hairdresser and I had this really cool hairdo and that’s why he came over to me. We had fun partying together and we never paid to get in nor did we pay for our drinks.
I grew up listening to Eagles since the early 70’s and became one of my all time favorites. I’m very sad to learn so many negative things about Don. He has to answer for his life and he will.
A very talented man in a legendary band that he was essentially the backbone of, though he always considered Glenn Frey the leader of the band (not minimizing the talent of all the other members who were also an integral part of their success) just my opinion. A solo career that was also first-rate, despite the rumors of greed, narcism etc. Don Henley has certainly cemented himself as one of the greatest musical artists of our time.
Don is and always has been the leader of the Eagles and its most important member. He is the total creative package. Ironically his best work came in his solo years “Building The Perfect Beast” because devoid of band politics of the Eagles Don Henley created the perfect rock record.
Desperado was tge first song Don and Glenn wrote together... Its almost not possible to pick one song... but for me " The girl from yesterday " , " The last Resort " and "Desperado" are sure my favorites
2024 Mr Don Henley you are a good man. Admiring you from afar and not knowing your life history till now. It's indeed your vocals and good looks. You are and father, husband, all the goodies annoited upon you. Godbless you your and family ❤...😊
Love this video ! The Eagles are my all time favorite band! The most talented band in the world! Glen Frey RIP and Don Henley please live 4EVER along with the other Eagles! ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
Life in the fast lane was NOT about Buckingham/Nicks. I’ve seen interviews with Don himself stating that it was about a 100 MPH drive on LA freeways with his drug connection and a trunk full of cocaine. When he expressed concerns, his dealer simply replied “Life in the fast lane” and shrugged.
On whether the line in the song Sara, 'When you build your house, I'll come by' is about Don Henley, whom she was dating at the time?] (laughs) That is true. He did [build the house]. And I was in it before he finished it. ~Stevie Nicks, Us magazine, July 1990
From those that know a little about Don's personal life , he has a heart of solid gold and helping people in need is his thing but he can turn into a real turd if you get on the wrong side of him. I think that's how most people are.
Henley & Frey we’re great song writers together don’t understand the criticism of Henley Frey was the main man who ultimately made the big decisions with Henley as back up and close friend at the time.I loved Randy meisner especially singing my favourite song take it to the limit amazing vocals.Randy struggled with fame and fortune felder was is a great guitarist who felt he should get the same as Henley and Frey all members produced great songs and music.
I am bewildered by the bands popularity.I thought when Desperado was released it was an incredible record.A really original and innovative country music album.But I never thought the band reached the potential Desperado suggested they were capable of
Hotel California was one of the Eagles hits that was so different to me when i heard it. Now i have Don's The very Best CD and Everything is different now and Boys of Summer. He sings with subtle emotion and i LOVE his voice.💖
@lorrainebarbo6069 Among other things, Don and Glenn Frey tried to screw Don Felder out of his share of ownership in the band and credit for some songs. Felder wrote a book, Heaven and Hell, that details many conflicts in the band. Felder ultimately won a lawsuit against Glenn & Don H.
@@firewood9991 Thank you for telling me. I also heard they did santanic worshiping. I don’t know how true that is, but they feel, hotel California, catered to that.
Henley had no part in writing the song "Take It Easy". It's essentially a Jackson Browne composition, with Glenn Frey adding a few lines to complete it.
So, who really is the love of his life? “Too Many Hands” possibly my fav ! Or “Wasted Time” maybe “Those Shoes”, lol, I don’t know, heck, they’re all favorites!!!
The songs and the lyrics are ageless. A 40 (or more ) year-old tune is as relevant today as it was then. Henley and Fry are tunesmiths and both their own and their joint compositions have stood up as well if not better than any other band.
Favourite song the masterpiece The Last Resort. This song slips by the radar of Eagles popular tunes. But after you hear The Last Resort message it quickly becomes a song of mention…

Not at all. He’s actually quite nice or was when I worked with him
Randy's voice was the best Eagles era ever.
Absolutely…I will never understand how Glenn ended up singing Take it to The Limit when Randy left..Tim would have done the song justice, because he respected Randy.
"The songs last. They speak for themselves, and they have a life of their own."
💯💙🦅
I love the Eagles. It doesn’t get any better than that. Hello hotel, California and one of these nights I love them all all the songs
Actually it gets a LOT better. Far from the best.
Don't look back Don--you can never look back!
LOL! and True.
Like what you did there 😂
RIP Glen Frey and Randy Meisner. Such beloved memories at your concerts in the 70"s and up until the passing of Glen. Have another Tequila sunrise. Cheers!!!!
May Glen and Randy find peace. Which Eagles song is the most memorable for you?
@@FactsVerse One of these nights or Best of my love.
Witchywomen
Glen Frey gave Randy Meisner hell.
Randy Meisner The Golden Eagle.
I Can’t Tell You Why, my absolute favorite Eagles song. 🥰🦅
Mine too ❤
Never tire of it!
Take it to the limit, take it easy are my favourites. (R I P>> Randy Meissner & Glen Frey) still enjoying this music in October 2024
My favorite song is Take It to the Limit. Meisner's voice was awesome!!
Yes! Brilliant....
Great song, but that was Randy Meisner. Hotel California was Don Felder.
Absolutely
Those two treated Randy horribly!
RIP Randy... heart broke on Don and Glens hamster wheel
So glad that I got to see the EAGLES in concert.❤❤❤
Fun stuff, thanks for sharing! How was the concert?
We saw them in 96 Vancouver BC when the honeymoon of getting back together was just over the peak. Not long after that and the egos and greed became first and foremost.
They blew me away when they started playing their solo hits!
I never knew what became of them when they split
It was AWESOME!
When I first heard "Witchy Woman", I was immediately taken by the cool arrangement and Don's gravelly voice.
Fav. Song Take It To The Limit! RIP Randy!
There were so many Eagles hits - hard to find a favourite.
No worries! We understand. What other types of video would you like to see?
My fave..Peaceful Easy Feeling!!! And single by Don..Taking You Home!!! Hus gravely voice is just awesome! Love him and Glenn.!!!!! Boys of Summer is another great..as there are so many!!! Pure talent!!! Absolutely 💯 💯 💯 💯!!
Iconic Band. I know most of the words to every song. Take it easy, Don. 🎵Right behind ya..
Thank you DH 🎵❤️☮️🌻
"Take It Easy" was co-written by Jackson Brown and Glenn Frey
Actually it was co written by Glenn Frey. He lived above Jackson at one point. He heard Jackson working on it at all hours. Frey finally asked Jackson if he could take a shot at it.

The way he balances his career and personal life, especially supporting Sharon through her health challenges, speaks volumes about his character.
Yes, his greedy, self absorbed personality.
Might be good to his wife,but him and Glenn screwed over Don Felder who created the music for Hotel California.
@@johnrwalker53 Not sure how they “screwed over” Don Felder there: he has a co-writing credit on the song! He received plenty of royalty money from that over the years, and still does.

Without a doubt a complete masterpiece of a song. One of the very best of all times.
My favorite song is Desperado
I’m so sorry.

He has a lovely family and is a good man!!!
Thanks for t he info! What is your favorite Eagles song?
All fantastic songs but for me its always Glen , just love his voice 👌
Me too 👍
I believe Take it Easy written by Jackson Browne with help from Glen Frey, not Don Henley
You are correct.
Yep. It was. "... a girl my Lord, in a flatbed Ford...slowing down to take a look at me."
Jackson Browne
@@CynthiaWord-iq7in that was the line Glenn Frey contributed. The rest was Jackson Browne.
J.D. Souther passed recently, and was surprised to learn that Souther co- wrote some of the major songs, for the Eagles.
Even Bob Seger co-wrote some of their songs
I met Glen Fry in Big Daddy’s in West Palm Beach Florida. I was a hairdresser and I had this really cool hairdo and that’s why he came over to me. We had fun partying together and we never paid to get in nor did we pay for our drinks.
Take It Easy was a song Jackson Browne had that he couldn’t finish so Glenn Finished it by writing the second verse.
87th best singer. Well one of the best singer songwriters of all time. Very well might be the best
I love all their songs, my fav though would have to be new kid in town.
Meeee toooo ❤
One of my least favorites actually. 😉
That was a Glen Frey single

Henley did not write 'Take It Easy.'
Glenn Frey and Jackson Brown wrote Take It Easy.
Yes, Jackson was stuck and Frey came up with." It's a girl my lord, in a flatbed ford slowin' down to take a look at me".
Don Henley and his songs patched up our marriage long ago. Just celebrated 51 years ❤

One Of The Nights Is My Favorite! It Was The Band's Second Number 1 Hit! My Second Favorite Is New Kid In Town! It Was Band's Third Number 1 Hit!

Nope even Don says Glenn was the leader and it was Glenn’s band.
No way ,hosea,too much ego.....😊😊😊😊😊
Don Felder 💗🌟
I’ve been to California many moons ago I love it out there I’ll go back out there and heartbeat
You can't go bare foot on the beach because of heroine needles. You'll hop scotch over poop in cities.
Desperado was tge first song Don and Glenn wrote together...
Its almost not possible to pick one song... but for me " The girl from yesterday " , " The last Resort " and "Desperado" are sure my favorites
One day I'll see Don & Sharon at the Sunset Grill.

Desperado is definitely my favorite song maybe of all time
Back in the day, Linda would close her shows with it.
