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

GUYS

"A Good Day in Hell" a year ago!

no wonder I woke up w/an upset stomach this morning

this thread should be published in book form. in the kindle version the embedded youtube videos will still work.

i had avoided this thread until today, but i've been reading it for the past hour. evokes warm memories of lurking on ilm in college and being amazed that so many people had strong and deeply researched opinions on stuff they professed either not to care about or to actively dislike, and that i wasn't the only one foolish enough to spend their time thusly.

that might sound sarcastic but it's not.

In the wild, sort of: watching the Witchay Woman episode of Seinfeld right now on one of my local stations

Desperado @ Grocery Outlet. Sweetest programming ever

^^The Donster knows those feels:

DON: A lot has happened since that summer of 1971. It is amazing and gratifying that so many people, all over the world, still love these songs and come out in droves to hear us play them. I live in Texas now, and sometimes, late at night, when I’m pushing the cart around the supermarket, I’ll hear one of our records and think, “I left here 33 years ago, did all that, and here I am back again… now, what did I come here to buy?”

(PS: I must it feels like a turning point when I just discovered that Crowe interview link was no longer saved in my browser.)

That's the least gross he's sounded out of anything quoted in this thread.

Eight-second song about the Eagles in the style of the Mountain Goats

I just got a sponsored post in my fb feed from Stubhub saying "Find your dream seats for the Eagles show in Houston on 10/14 . Click here for tickets!"

I didn't know they were playing here again so soon--they just did a show back in February I think.

From the link:

Tickets-Priced from: $93.31 USD
1,020 tickets left

Parking Passes-Priced from: $14.99 USD
174 tickets left

and FYI, I'm not going because IF I WANT TO STAND UP DURING A BALLAD, I WILL TO STAND THE FUCK UP

In the wild: Patty Smyth and Henley's "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough," a huge boomer-rock hit in fall '92 (#2 behind "End of the Road") and one of the last. It holds up.

Both Mr. Henley and the Eagles have worked hard, for over 40 years, to build their names and goodwill in the world community," he continues. "They pride themselves on the fact that they have never allowed their names, likenesses or music – individually or as a group – to be used to sell products. Their names are their trademarks and, therefore, they take offense when an individual or a business tries to piggyback and capitalize on their art, their hard work and their goodwill in the public arena."​

This is a battle I can't take sides in.

Don A Henley And Chug All Night

Don A Henley And Get Over It

Waiters hate Henley for being a crap tipper, and hotel staff can't stand him either. But the Duluth Trading suit is not Henley's stupidest lawsuit. In 1998, he literally tried to sue a nonprofit dedicated to saving - you guessed it - endangered eagles. The suit claimed that the American Eagle Foundation was guilty of name infringement. The suit was eventually dropped, as his lawyer said he was busy touring and couldn't appear in court.

I remember that case. It was a dispute over the web domain "eagles.org".

ooh! in the wild: "Teenage Jail" at a watch repair shop I visited earlier. We reviewed it almost a year ago :(

In The Wild: I knew they had used it, but last night I watched the series finale of China Beach on DVD, and what I didn't know was that "Try and Love Again" actually was the last non-score music cue they used on the show (it plays over a scene of the characters saying their goodbyes after visiting the Vietnam Memorial). For the DVD, they had to sub a less 'produced' Randy solo recording in place of the Eagles original, presumably due to the Eagles' blackout on TV licenses, but I'd like to think it's really because Dana Delaney probably threw a martini at Don and/or Glenn at an LA-area bar sometime in the '90s.

Guys guys GUYS The History of the Eagles is on Netflix streaming!!! All 3 hours of it!

there goes my Sunday.

^^Well, yeah.

My Netflix is open, and it's Sunday somewhere...

Man, that '77 show was well-filmed. And to see how close the audience was! If you were up front, it was like a club show.

Linden, Texas: Home of Scott Joplin...T-Bone Walker...and...Don Henley.

Seger seriously giving off Roky Erickson vibes in that first photo, "Workin' on those night moves with a two-headed dog..."

"Glyn Johns, please report to the 'Old Men Who Look Like Old Lesbians' thread. Your table is ready."

GUYS

After (re)watching the doc I've a proposal: I'd love a listening thread for Don 'n' Glenn's solo work. It's got enough good points (early) to keep it cool, as opposed to Meisner and Walsh solo albums post-Eagles.

hmmmm

C'MON

The Bus to Partytown is waiting, and don't worry, inside THE HEAT...IS...ON.

Returning to Netflix for the second hour of the doc: BATHTUBS FULL OF BUDWEISER!

"Don and I were big fans of hidden, deeper meaning (the name of a popular strain of cocaine at the time)."

Grisso, are you with me? VegemiteGrrl? scott? col?

Randy?

ehhh

i'm fearful

a few solo tracks is one thing...albums plural gives me the phear

they're aren't many!

Henley:

I Can't Stand Still
Building the Perfect Beast
The End of the Innocence
Inside Job

Frey:

No Fun Allowed
The Allnighter
Soul Searchin'
Strange Weather

We can even skip Glenny's standards album.

...we'll listen to Rod Stewart's standards albums instead!

Also: not to get pedantic, but that's No Fun ALOUD.

if you do the Henley catalog make sure you don't skip "THE GARDEN OF ALLAH," a 7-minute spoken word dirge about the devil from his 1995 greatest hits compilation

Watch--when this thing's almost over, the Donster will finally drop Cass County, his Country standards lp.

some dude is in

WE WANT TO PARTY

WOO

WE WANT TO GET DOWN

Hey, when the time comes, are we go shift over to Frey's acting career?

^^Probably not on netflix instant

thought it said Reggae Infernal

Gamergate Infernal

i'm in. but we have to be sure to cover all of the Frey/Don Johnson pepsi ads, as they're some Glenn's best work of the era

if we promise we can review the bodybuildin' ads.

does "Leather and Lace" qualify? (it has to)
