Eagles At Hard Rock Park
.
Our site visitors are the best! Kathryn caught a special on the YES Network (the Yankee channel in New York) about the opening of the Hard Rock Park and the accompanying golf tournament. As part of the coverage, they showcased parts of three songs from the Eagles opening night set. You can see bits of "One of These Nights", "Life in the Fastlane" and "Desperado". Thanks, so much to Kathryn. We would never have known about this if you didn't catch it. We made the file nice and big, but if you right click and "...save as" on the link, you'll be able to play around with the size. Making it a little smaller sharpens the quality nicely.

And a 'back in the day' aside about LITFL when it was on the charts as a single in '77, Casey Kasem on his American Top-40 show used to edit the lyric. I remember that it was edited but don't recall whether it was just 'damn thing' or even just 'thing.' But it was was edited, no question.

I'm sure the channel edited the word out, not Don. Has someone seen a concert recently where that happened?

Jimbo, I like it better when they don't wear suits, too. I was just having a little fun, because Lisa & Melissa have said Don's shirts aren't flannel lots of times. There's lots on this site. It's easy to miss something that was said. :)
I have a shirt that looks flannel, too, and in the baseball style, but it's just a cotton shirt as well.

OK, my bad. But it's still not a suit. That makes me happy.:]

Jimbo....not all plaid shirts are flannel. Don's shirt is regular cotton. :)

That's not flannel? Whatever....my point is that it's not a suit.

Don's been self-editing "God" out of LITFL lately. Seems kind of late now to worry about people finding that line offensive.

OK, everyone, say it with me now-"Don Henley is not wearing flannel!"
Was it just a hiccup in my download or did he not sing the god part of the word in LITF? It seemed like Glenn thought it was funny.

That's a great clip. Those guys really look like the Eagles...Henley in flannel and not a suit. Thanks for posting it!
