    Default Celebration of "Glenn Frey Live"

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY "LIVE"

    I noticed earlier in "Today In Eagles' History" that on this date in 1993, Glenn's "Live" album was released. This was, of course, taped in Dublin on July 8, 1992, and a DVD of the show was also released. I love this CD for it's "energy and enthusiasm", and also because it's the only CD I have that includes him performing Wild Mountain Thyme and Desperado. It great to have live versions of many of his solo songs as well.

    I love it, too, as I said in the thread about its taping. What a great show!

    It is just great to have 'official' versions of WMT and Desperado that you can sigh over when you are listening to them.

    Its a great video and cd. I must say I love Glenn s version of 'Partytown' Alas not on the cd, but well worth a look at on the video. I love Glenn singing 'Desperado' on the cd and also 'HT'. 'Live' was actually the first Glenn cd that I bought.

    HAPPY ANNIVERSARY "LIVE"

    I'll repeat what I said earlier. I love this CD because it's the only CD I have that includes Glenn performing Wild Mountain Thyme and Desperado. I always enjoy it and will pop it into my CD player this week.

    And GA and Soda, enjoy your celebration!

    After Hours really isn't my kind of music. I mean no disrespect or anything, but I can't get into it. I've listened to it several times now, but it just doesn't click, so that's why I didn't put any songs from it on my list. I do enjoy Route 66, so I could add that song to my list. Maybe as I age, it might grow on me. I feel kind of bad by not enjoying the album (his voice is amazing on it).

    I do agree with the "we want a new album" opinion.

    Unfortunately, I've yet to have time to sit down and watch the dvd (aa I don't have the cd yet). I love hearing him sing Desperado. (And every other song on the album!)

    Like Desperado, I've heard many versions of Wild Mountain Thyme but Glenn's Live In Dublin version is definitely my favourite.

    Looking at the list on Wikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_Mountain_Thyme

    I notice the latest version is on James Taylor's new 2015 album, Before ThisWorld. I have Van Morrison, Rod Stewart and Kate Rusby's versions, I'll have to check out Mark Knopfler's.

    Wild Mountain Thyme is a lovely song and perfect for Glenn's voice. It would always sneak onto my Eagles 1990s Live compilation discs

    It looks like this show was the only time Glenn ever performed it.

    I love James Taylor's version of Wild Mountain Thyme on his album, Before This World.

    That song is one of my favorites and I always love to hear different versions of it. Next one now, has to be Glenn's version.......

    ETA: Well, just listened to Glenn singing Wild Mountain Thyme and WOW!!
    That song really suits his voice, and it sounds amazing live. Would love to see him sing that. I'll have to start a 'Wild Mountain Thyme' playlist just like my 'Hallelujah' one !!
