    Default Greetings from Milwaukee!

    Hi everyone,

    I don't know if you've seen my youtube series on the History of the Eagles, but Parts 1 - 4 are up online now, and I am currently working on Part 5. Check them out here:

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i500B7l_rb0"]Part 1[/ame]

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aqZLoHw_qk"]Part 2 [/ame]

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yWfdxpkApA"]Part 3 [/ame]

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssTcg8X83Go"]Part 4[/ame]

    I just thought I would introduce myself here. My name is Joe and I am from Milwaukee, WI. I saw the Eagles perform in September 2008 in Milwaukee, and I am currently hunting for some bootlegs of the Glenn Frey / Joe Walsh "Party of Two" performances that landed in Milwaukee. If anyone knows anything about bootlegs or that tour, any info would be greatly appreciated!

    My favorite Eagles song is "Take It Easy", and I'm a huge fan of Glenn Frey's and Joe Walsh's solo work, as well. Not the biggest Don Henley fan in the world, but hey, who doesn't like Dirty Laundry? Am I right?

    Anyway, I really like the site you have going and I'm looking forward to being an active member of this online community. Also, thanks already to so much of the positive feedback I've received for my videos! That is only motivation for me too make more. Talk to you all soon!

    Welcome Joe! I have enjoyed part 1 of your series - great job! I saw the show in Chicago last September and am planning on going to Indy in March. I'm looking forward to reading your posts.

    It's a perfect occupation for me.

    Welcome to The Border. The videos were very entertaining. I'm looking forward to number 5.

    If you ever get the chance you should make it a point to catch a Don Henley solo show. I saw him in June of 2007 and he was fantastic. He is a very animated story teller when he appears solo. He also uses many of the Eagles back up musicians including Steuart Smith, Michael Thompson, Scott Crago, and Will Hollis. You should make it a point to read my review posted in the concert reviews section of The Border. It could change your feelings about Henley. Welcome and keep the videos coming.

    Hey Joe! I've only looked at Parts 1--3 so far, but I thought your discussions of Desperado and Life in the Fast Lane were quite humorous...although I completely disagree with you on the innate appeal of Desperado! I have a feeling it may be a gender-related bias, however!

    Oy! I'm a Rascal Flatts fan, but I wholeheartedly concur! What a completely mortifying performance. And what genius let Underwood near "Desperado"? I refer to it as "the infamous Underwood massacre of '07."

    Rambo, I haven't watched your videos yet, but fully intend to do so. Just wanted to say hello, as I grew up in Milwaukee & attended Marquette - lived in the area until I was 22. I have recurring nightmares about the Lake Effect. Did you see them at the Bradley Center in September? Great show!!
