Thank you very much shunlvswx for reaquainting us with Henley's words. He can go on as much as he likes about all the stuff he contributed to Life in The Fast lane but in my opinion, the lyrics and delivery come third behind Joe's killer guitar riff and Glenn's title and concept.

Joe changes the lyrics andarrangement of Desperado to give his solo performance a more personal relevance. After performing it with the Eagles for many decades, he's quite aware what the official lyrics are.

I'm not keen on Joe's duet with Sam Kinniston. I don't like anything with unneccesary widdly guitar played all over it.
