    Default Songs the Eagles have never performed live

    I've been wondering for a while what songs the Eagles have recorded but never preformed live. I made a list of the songs that I couldn't find live versions of. If you see one on this list that you know they've performed live feel free to correct me

    Get You In the Mood
    Most of Us are Sad
    Take the Devil
    My Man
    On the Border
    Is It True
    Hollywood Waltz
    Visions
    I Wish You Peace
    Try and Love Again
    The Disco Strangler
    Teenage Jail
    What Do I Do With My Heart
    Fast Company
    Do Something
    You Are Not Alone

    That list looks right to me with one exception: they performed "After the Thrill Is Gone," appropriately enough, at their last show before the initial breakup (the infamous Long Beach, CA show on July 31, 1980). As far as I know, it was the only time they ever played it live. Rather poignant, if you think about it.

    Wow - that was gorgeous. It's been a long time since I heard that. I LOVE that song!

    Nice song played very well live.

    It is really hard to understand how Frey could have remained as mad as he claimed all throughout that concert, especially playing such a mellow song like that. Even if Frey and/or Henley were Cranston anti-nuke freaks, why would Frey be so invested in a perceived slight toward him

    As has been posted all over this board in various threads that deal with the topic, Glenn's problem wasn't just the 'perceived' slight. As both he and Henley said in a couple of interviews (separately) in the early 80's, it was a slow build-up of numerous things. The 'I guess' at Cranston was the straw that broke the camel's back (which was stated also by Irving in the documentary). Since then, except for the short bit in the documentary, neither Glenn nor Don have really spoken of it, preferring to take the high road and not parade their dirty laundry out in the way so many bands have done before and since. Glenn has his faults and he has admitted to having been a volatile guy, but even high as a kite and drunk as a skunk, he wouldn't issue those kinds of statements out of nowhere for a slight like that.

    As for the performance itself, the Eagles (all of them, present members and former) are consummate professionals and do not allow such things to affect a performance to a degree that fans would notice.

    It wouldn't surprise to find their definition of 'never performed live before' is different than ours. Maybe we are taking it too literally? Maybe they mean songs that haven't been part of a setlist for more than a show or two for actual concerts?

    I wondered that too, VA. They might not consider that we are here scrutinizing their every word.

    Can you imagine a live version of What Do I Do With My Heart? Don and Glenn up front, sharing the song, so passionate and tender... Siiiiiiiigh.
