Eagles wasted time acoustic11/14/2023 Interestingly, with regards to Funk 50's comments, I know Pink Floyd on their In The Flesh Tour in 1977 where they played the Animals and Wish You Were Here albums in their entirety when playing live they started with Sheep, which opens with whereas the album starts with the acoustic Pigs on the Wing - I wonder if similar reasoning was behind that move?Ĥ. As others have said, it's most likely that Glenn was playing acoustic with Don F playing the acoustic intro from the album on an electric, which is always what I've seen on video footage from the previous tour. Why not include Keep on Tryin'? I love that song by TBS.I think I might be able to help with these two questions:ģ. My responses are in bold except for the last part whiuch falls outside the quote area.Ĥ. I'm sorry for the confusing way this post is laid out. It's one of the album's few saving graces for me. It's hardly a surprise that he hardly sings any leads. Maybe he was determined to distance himself from the band as he was on the verge of quitting. There is a notable lack of Glenn lead vocal tracks though. If it was about the success of HC why was a live album not released after the HC tour? The old tracks on Eagles Live seem like a snub to Tim. The point still stands that most live albums reflect a specific point of time. Also, you must remember that The Long Run album wasn't as successful as the previous Hotel California album. In the 70s, an album a year was a standard rate of release. A compilation or "Hits" album then a live document to follow, would be a typical run of albums. So we are assuming this performance at the Forum has strings & that's why it was included. The recordings of both Wasted Time and Take It To The Limit are greatly enhanced by the live strings. Even Joe said it was overwhelming just being a part of it. With the added strings it was simply peerless. It was the highlight of every Eagles concert. The Eagles did a legendary performance of TITTL with a 40 piece string orchestra in London 1977. They obviously wanted to include Randy's, Take It To The Limit and one of the rare occassions when they performed it with live strings. That way I can listen in the order that I heard them in live. I have all my CDs ripped to mp3, so I try to put together concerts, like the HFO tour, and the HOTE tour. This album is actually what inspired my "Eagles Concert" playlist collection that I mess with. Not a question, but I found it interesting that LITFL was recorded at the Cranston Benefit. Why not include Keep on Tryin'? I love that song by TBS.ĥ. Does Glenn play an electric guitar on HC instead of the acoustic? That song sounds different on this album than any other version I have heard, including the Millenium Concert.Ĥ. Why include Randy's song? A live album (IMO) should reflect the group as it was when the album was done.ģ. Why were the songs chosen from such a drastic time span?Ģ. I have a few questions about it that some of the folks here probably know the answer to.ġ. I fell in love with it, and still listen to it alot. I chose it cause at my local used CD store, it was only like a buck more than single CD's. I had the Greatest Hits 71-75, and then after the HFO video, I bought Live.
