You're lucky, because you can see them almost every day on stage. Here in Europe, we need to be happy if we can see them once on 10 years.

I wish I could see them whenever I want to. I have been to 7 Eagles concerts (and that includes my first one in '76) and 5 Don Henley concerts. I am going to make that 6 Don concerts in a few months. I get what you mean, though. I do feel lucky.
Hehe, lucky you. I have few bands which I really would like to see in live, but I don't know if that will happens to me. :/ That band are: of course Eagles as many times as possible, Allman Brothers Band, Derek Trucks Band, Eric Clapton, Toto, Bruce Springsteen, Bryan Adams etc etc... But this is off-topic again, sorry.
I'm sorry, but the first time I listened to it I noticed nothing; it was only when you specifically mentioned 'lighten up' that I went & listened again and I still heard nothing wrong with it. All I heard was the word 'up' being sung on a lower note and if he wants to do that I have no problem with it.
I understand that people will be critical if they think it's justified; but in this instance I honestly don't think it is.

Yeah--I'm with PM here---he missed that note!! It was still very pleasurable tho! Thanks for posting the video.
He sings it high, he plays it low
I have heard Glenn sing "lighten up" an octave lower many times over the last few years. I think it just sounds "off" to us because we have heard it so many times the other way. I noticed that he did it during the Christchurch, New Zealand concert in 199(6)? The "slightly" inclimate weather probably affected his voice during that show!
Christchurch I think was 1995. Inclement weather? That's just NORMAL for us, and our standard response is, "Harden Up!" (And yes, we still schedule lots of outdoor concerts! ).
I have no problems with any of them choosing to sing a note/phrase lower or otherwise different - that's what going to a live concert is about after all - how they are choosing to interpret their music at that current point in time. I think occasionally varying the music slightly actually adds an intimacy - a shared moment in time - to a live performance that you don't get so much from a recording which of course sounds exactly the same every time you listen.
