CAT FIGHT...CAT FIGHT!!!!!!!! Oh Boy! Will someone make a vid? CAT FIGHT!!~!!!!!!!

[sodascouts]

I'm not sure how satisfying that would be since it's virtual, Mike, although perhaps Willie, LTL, PM, and I live close enough to get together for real and go at it... I could take 'em!

(That is, if I can bring my light saber)

[Ive always been a dreamer]

In your dreams, Mike, in your dreams!!!

Mike-BEHAVE!!

I know I've heard you guys talk about how good it was at the POT shows so I'm sure he was having an off night, especially if it did appear that he was battling a cold. And chances are really good that video isn't doing it justice and it was much better live. (yes I'm trying to get back in the good graces of our administrator!)

Is there audio of him doing LITFL somewhere on the site? I would love to hear it. To be honest--I guess I always figured all Eagles songs were fine with interchangeable singers, but I will also admit that I am one who doesn't take well to change so I tend to like the original Eagles songs better then when they change them up.

I'm so relieved that others have the same opinion of LITFL. I was debating whether I would post my impression. Guess I needn't have worried. I was looking forward to hearing it, but was quite disapointed, sorry to say. Soda, how did he do on the verse of "Dirty Laundry" that he sang?

[sodascouts]

I'm sorry everyone is so disappointed - it's my fault for talking it up in my review and getting everyone excited about it. I was just so thrilled to hear him do something different and it did sound good to me at the time.

[MikeA]

That's just not fair! I had this image involving ropes and mud and water. I'll bet if you put the idea to Glenn, he'd come watch!

[luvthelighthouse]

Mike, I'm still laughing over you noticing the mic placement!

I will not fight my friends... okay, a saber dual maybe!

Soda, you didn't get me jazzed... I just saw, "glenn sang LITFL" and I thought, cool! I'm SURE, if I were there, I would have LOVED it. Everything is different live. The expierence makes it so. If it didn't, there would never be a reason to perform live.

Also, over the course of the LROOE tour, I often hear, "glenn is struggling". Honestly, most of the time "I" don't even hear it. I didn't think he was stuggling w/his voice, as I thought he sang it too slow, or played it too fast.

In any case, it's still wonderful to hear and see Glenn...always!!!

[MikeA]

Mic Placement is pretty important. Yesterday, I was playing around with my Dynamic Mic an my acoustic amp and came up with this....It's a tribute to Glenn so I recon it's okay to play it here.

Fender Acoustasonic Jr. acoustic amp (super clean)
Les Paul with pickups turned way down
Realistic Optimus Dynamic mic (piece of crap)

I had to use an equalizer on the track after I recorded it to bring up the bass. The microphone lops off the low end.

I didn't dangle the mic over the front of the amp during this recording (used a boom stand with the mic about 6" from the speaker). But later, I came back and placed the mic directly on the speaker grill. It really didn't make any difference. I guess the guys know what they are doing <LOL>

I'm sorry everyone is so disappointed - it's my fault for talking it up in my review and getting everyone excited about it. I was just so thrilled to hear him do something different and it did sound good to me at the time.

And we're thrilled to see it. Thanks so much for posting it. I'm sure it did sound better in person. There were people in the audience singing along & unless it is professionally recorded the balance between the singers & the individual instruments can be off. (Not to say that you're not a pro, Soda , but you know what I mean, with mics on each instrument & levels being monitored, etc). All this distorts the sound.

That being said, I think Glenn should have sung this in a lower key. It seemed to be a bit out of his range for him to be comfortable with it, especially if he had a cold.
