Re: Favourite moments in Eagles songs
You can really appreciate how good of an arranger Glenn is when you compare the Eagles' How Long to JD Souther's version; not that JD's isn't enjoyable, but Glenn knows how to take a song and make the most of it with those Eagles' vocal harmonies. You know, in his DVD, Going Home, Jackson Browne says the same thing about Glenn and Take It Easy. He compliments Glenn's arranging talents by taking the chorus and using those harmonies to their full potential. Take it Eeeeaaaasy, take it eeeaaasy. Perfection!

For me right now it's those super-high notes in TITTL that Randy didn't want to do. They are SO great. Amazing song.

"The clouds rolled in and hid that shore, now that glory train, it don't stop here no more. Now I look at the years gone by and wonder at the powers that be. I wonder why fortune smiles on some and let's the rest go free."
Harmonies, some great high notes and that last line is just really cool.
"She wasn't just another woman, and I couldn't keep from comin' on, it's been so long."
There is such a yearning to that line, plus it's just one of my favorite songs.
"Now the sun's comin' up, I'm ridin' with lady luck. Freeway cars and trucks."
Just the classic Eagles sound, and it reminds of being a kid and riding in the car with my dad. He always had the radio on, and remember hearing this one. My uncle was a musician in San Diego in the 70s, I think he said something about knowing the one of the writers of that one.
By the way, am I the only guy on here? :woah: I see a lots of references to ladies....

I agree that Ol 55 is the classic Eagles sound. Love the song!
