A Good Day In Hell - The Official ILM Track-By-Track EAGLES Listening Thread

They spent months and years assembling those seats

DON: we get to a point in our blowjobs when it's quite obvious it's time to stop blowing and we give the blower a signal.

GLENN: i think i'm gonna signal right now.

DON: well, yeah.

They're not just blowjobs, they're EAGLES Blowjobs.

tbh I dislike standing through a show too, especially when it's mellow twaddle like the Eagles.

Posted upthread, never forget:

Early on, he promised that the group would educate as well as entertain. That meant clips from the film about what book inspired this song and how they told that producer it’s time to rock. It also meant a lecture about the night’s harvest moon and playful scolding when Professor Frey mistakenly said CD instead of tape and the fans laughed. “I’ll tell you when to laugh. That wasn’t a joke,” he half-joked.

All rise. The part of the song where you can stand is now in session, Honorable Judge Don Henley presiding.

you pay for your seat, sit in it

I thought this was a joke but he actually said that.

THAT WASN'T A JOKE

Henley's so funny when he's not trying to be funny.

Long-winded Eagles in the wild...

Went on a tour of the Los Angeles Federal Reserve yesterday morning. Saw millions of dollars shredded (lasered actually), the football-field sized vault where several billion in cash was stored, ID'ed some counterfeit bills, etc. etc. Pretty cool tour overall.

Before leaving, I asked a couple questions of the guide:

ET: "Once you started working here, how long did it take for you to stop thinking of the significance of all this as money and as mere product and inventory you have to move around and deal with like at any other job?"

Fed. Res. Emp: "About three months"

ET: "Has working here changed how you feel about money in general?"

FRE: "Yeah, I hate it"

The tour ended and as I crossed the street to the parking lot, a nearby taco truck was blaring out "Hotel California." Had a moment...

wait did they laser cut a big block of money?

Lasering a block of money?

<crying Don Henley jpg.>

Fed. Res. Emp: "So that concludes the tour of the Reserve, any questions? Yes? You, up here in the front."

DON: "Since you're not using it for anything else, have you ever tried snorting the money?"

FRE: "Excuse me?"

DON: "Just see if you could try to imagine for a second using a hundred-dollar bill to get a hit off of a hundred hundred-dollar bills. Not saying I couldn't try it, mind you, but you all here seem like you could afford the charity."

GLENN: "Ha, you could even cache a bowl with actual cash! Anyone could!"

DON: "Well, yeah..."

VIP tickets for upcoming Eagles shows include several keys of shredded bills.

We get to a point in our show when it’s quite obvious it’s time to stand up and we give the audience a signal.

midway through, Glenn helpfully tells people that it's a good time for a bathroom break as they've got a Tim Schmidt number coming up

wait did they laser cut a big block of money?

The counting machines at the Fed are hulking monsters that take thousands of bills at a time and auto-reject anything too worn or counterfeit to a shredder that uses lasers rather than the traditional cutting blades. The LA Fed generates 530 tons of shredded currency a year and using lasers is just plain faster.

ET: "Once you started working here, how long did it take for you to stop thinking of the significance of all this as money and as mere product and inventory you have to move around and deal with like at any other job?"

TBS: "Pretty much right after we did the Christmas single."

haha

Did you smell rotten meat?

I <heard> rotten meat.

brisket!

Pecan Pie!

misogynist!

petroleum club!

in the wild: "hotel california" on the staples center organ during the second overtime of the kings-rangers game. (though maybe/probably they do that all the time.) (but it obviously propelled them to victory and the stanley cup.

you can check anytime you like :D

ha!

haha Ron McLean made a "Hotel California" reference (same joke, practically!) on CBC just before the game!

Considered posting that Stanley Cup organ-rendition airing myself but wasn't sure it was eligible.

No wait, I remember...joke was something about LA trying to stab the Rangers with their steely knives

and they did kill the beast!

warm smell of hockey pants rising up through the air

DON: We didn't have hockey in the little corner of Texas where I grew up. But like anyone who landed in Los Angeles, I quickly became a Kings fan. It's been great to take breaks during our current tour to check up on this championship run.

GLENN: We're hoping that the Kings will let me and Don be photographed with the trophy. I'd call it, "Two Eagles, One Cup", after a viral video of which we are both very fond.

DON: Well, yeah.

lol A+

Huell Howser visits the Eagles in the 1970s and then again in 1994.

SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS...YOU CAN CHECK *OUT* ANY TIME YOU LIKE BUT YOU CAN *NEVER* LEAVE?

"a lot of munchies"

"BUT, in case the man gets hungry, we wanna have it onboard."

Eagles in the wiiiild LITERALLY...several times during a three day camp weekend just ended. Take it easy, The Long Run, couple more. No internet or nothin for 90 or so hours, my longest disconnected span since 2001.

In the wild: "Lyin' Eyes" at a Which Which, followed a song later by some ilm listening thread synergy in the form of "Sad Songs (Say So Much)" by Elton John.

In the wild: Farewell Tour 1 is a bluray demo at my local Fr(e)y's. Glenn dedicates "Lyin' Eyes" to his first wife, "Plaintiff."

Well, yeah.
