Re: New Eagles Book
Yeah SL - I would agree with you about that photo being from 1974.
Anyway, I finally got around to finishing the book. Even though it's not that long, it took me a couple of weeks to read it because I had to just read it bits at a time. Unfortunately, as we suspected, there really isn't anything in there that we didn't already know. However, the presentation is a bit different, so I still think it is an enjoyable and interesting read. For the most part, Vaughan seemed to get the facts correct, although it's not perfect. Honestly, it was a lot better than I expected based on what Soda described to me when she first reviewed it. I was mildly annoyed that he gives Glenn absolutely no credit at all for writing Hotel California. On the other hand, he credits a quote that Don made in the 60 minutes interview to Glenn. I will say the book definitely focuses on Glenn and Don. I thought Randy, in particular, got very little ink.

- pg. 112: "in 1972 an original Byrd's reunion was discussed but failed to come to any kind of fruition." yikes!

Re: New Eagles Book
I picked mine up from our mailbox last night. I've only had time to look at the pictures & read the captions. Peek, I too was surprised at how much ink was given to other artists (Gram Parsons, Jackson Brown, etc).
Athough I haven't read it yet it would seem that the title of the book should be The Eagles and Friends.
I noticed an error just skimming through - pg. 267 - the quote "I'd much rather make what I consider to be a really good album every twenty-eight years than to make a mediocre album every year. I'm proud of the album. And I'm glad..." is attributed to Glenn, whereas it was Don who said this in the interview with Steve Kroft on 60 Minutes in 2007.
