Did anyone watch (as hard as it is to watch them) The Eagles on NBC the other night. Joe played slide with the Glenn Frey Ric on three songs.

He also plays it on the Crossroads DVD.

Yes Dennis it was a great sight and an outstanding sound. A great advertisement for Rickenbacker. Now, if only they would use a Rickenbacker 12 string for Hotel California.

Does Frey ever play his signature guitar? How'd you like to hear Joe Walsh and Ozzy Osbourne carry on a conversation?

Wow, took me two years to get to my 100th post. I guess I'm more of a "listener"

He plays it on the 'Hell Freezes Over' dvd too...pretty cool sound...I believe he only played it on 'Pretty Maids All In A Row', for the dvd anyway.

According to reliable sources, Glenn never uses his signature guitar, but Joe uses it for slide stuff quite a bit.

Given Joe's sense of humor and general level of weirdness, I wonder what a Joe Walsh signature guitar would look like...

Probably like a Glenn Frey!

Is it just my imagination, or are the Eagles better performers today than they were the first time around?

Practice makes perfect!

Who was the guy that seemed to be doing most of the lead guitar work over on the far right?

I did catch the Eagles on their "Long Run" tour back when I was a teenager - they were pretty good back then too! Heart opened for them. A very cool show when I think back on it.

I must say, I do miss the combination or Felder/Walsh leads. There was a bit more "spark" between the lead guitars back then.

The new guitarist on the side (not sure of his name either) is very good, but it's obvious that he is a sideman. With Walsh and Felder, there was that little bit of friendly competition that seemed to be going on when the played solo's.

Glenn Frey is also a very good player but given the great talents of the lead players in the Eagles, I think he has always been comfortable laying down the rhythm guitar and concentrating on vocals.

Heart was one band I never got to see, unfortunately; that were one of the best rock bands from that era. I did get to meet Nancy Wilson and Howard Leese back in the early '80s at The String Shoppe in Columbus, Ohio.
