After Soda started a similar thread about the Eagles, I thought it would be fun to have a topic for all of the guys. The only difference is that you can include Don's solo material or covers. I'm gonna have to think about my answer a bit.
If you could ask Don to sing any non-Eagles song in a solo show, what would it be?

He's done it live before, as recently as 2000, but I'd love to hear it in person: Talking to the Moon. What an amazing song; the build up starting with "Goodbye, rodeo" and continuing to "I. WAS. JUST. Talking to the moon" is one of the most dramatic and powerful vocal moments of any Henley song ever recorded. Seeing it performed on his video gave me chills - I can only imagine what it would be like to be in that audience, hearing it live.

Okay - I'm going to stick with one song again for now, and come back later with some others. So here it is - Taking You Home. I think I would have to break down and cry if I ever saw this live. It is an absolutely beautiful song.

My favorite Don Song is Last Worthless Evening. I wish if I could ever see him in person that he would sing that song.
Re: If you could ask Don to sing any non-Eagles song in a solo show, what would it be
Heart Of The Matter is definitely my first choice here. Also wouldn't mind I Will Not Go Quietly (but only with Axl Rose singing the backup part like on the album), and The End Of The Innocence (but again with Bruce Hornsby playing on it).
I am very thankful that I have gotten to see him and the boys do Boys Of Summer because that was such a special song for me in the 80s.
He sings it high, he plays it low

Long Way Home or Lilah
Any kind of love without passion
That ain't no kind of lovin' at all

I would ask Don to sing The End of the Innocence. It's nice.Also, I like Bruce Hornsby's piano - not that Don might have Bruce Hornsby with him at any given time. lol.
Re: If you could ask Don to sing any non-Eagles song in a solo show, what would it be
I whole-heartedly agree with "Come Rain Or Come Shine" and I was thinking that before I even saw others had chosen that song. It's one of those standards that, when done with real heart and soul, is very moving and Don has a natural ability to pour his heart and soul into a number like that. I'm sure I can think of others but this is the FIRST one that comes to mind.
You were just too busy being FABULOUS....

Oh, this is a really good (and difficult)question...Hmm..this is hard because he would just nail so many songs...but I think I would pick.."It Was Almost Like A Song" I can just see him sitting all alone on a stool with just a light on him... It would just devastate me...I'd be on the floor.!
