25 years. Incredible. Back then I had no clue how big a part the Eagles would play in my life!
I was a kid when this came out and I didn't become an eagles fan until many years later, but I remember my mom playing the CD (or maybe it was a tape back then!) in the car all the time. I remember being confused about the 4 different voices, how was that the same band!
CA - Lol ! That makes sense though. I recall an interview with Glenn back in the 80's. He called the Eagles a "faceless" band because most people did not know what they looked like as they never put their pictures on their album(except for Desperado in the cowboy gear) and did not give a lot of interviews. Back in the day I think you had to be a die hard fan to know what they all looked like. This was before MTV and 24/7 coverage. By the time HFO came along it had been almost 14 years and people forgot what they looked like but of course never forgot the songs.
Yeah groupie - I think the fact that they always had 4 lead vocalists is one of the things that made the Eagles so special - that is a real rarity for bands.
And, as far as their looks in 1994, I had followed Don and Glenn throughout their solo careers, so my only real shock is that I thought they both looked the best they ever had. To me, Timothy looked pretty much the same that I remembered him from the 70's, but Joe and Felder were the most shocking to me - I hardly recognized either of them. Felder had really cleaned up and Joe went from major rock star to college professor.

I was finally able to buy this album. I've loved it since it was released and just could never afford it. However last week while at Walmart, I saw this on their discount rack. I gasped and said very loudly "No Way!" I almost started to cry. So yes I paid the eleven dollars for it. 27 long years, and now I finally have a copy.

Dreamer - I agree. I was literally shocked when I saw Don F. in the Travis T. video - I could not believe he was the same guy ! The only looks I did not like on Don & Glenn were when Don had that very long hair and Glenn's crewcut. Compared to what Joe looked like a few years before, he looked amazing. I had no idea he wore glasses - lol ! I thought Tim pretty much looked the same. I thought they all looked great considering their 70's life style.
