That's cool.
Don posted earlier on FB that Jimmy Page was in the front row watching and he said he's glad he didn't make any mistakes otherwise he'd never live it down and he was very nervous about playing in front of Pagey.
Jimmy is a masterful guitarist, but so is Don but it's still cool to hear the big names still get nervous, as someone who's also a performer/guitarist.
Don with The Dark Lord himself! https://m.facebook.com/donfeldermusi...679902/?type=3
Interview with Don Felder for People magazine (video) where he talks about teaching Tom Petty how to play the guitar:

I'm sure Tom would have loved to hear Felder's description of his physical appearance back then.....not! I find it funny because Don has had so much plastic surgery and dental work to try to change his own teeth and facial appearance. I'm sure it wasn't meant with malice, but it did come off wrong and very ironical, lol. I'm sure Tom wouldn't have been upset. He seemed like such a laid back and authentic guy. RIP Tom.
I really would love to hear some new stories from Felder besides "Here's how I wrote Hotel California", "I taught Tom Petty how to play guitar", "I learned slide guitar from and hung out with Duane Allman", "I've tried reaching out to the guys but only reach their lawyers", etc. At this point, I would almost love a new book from Felder with more stories of his life that aren't negative or unpleasant but some life stories and positive experiences from his childhood, through the Eagles years, and after he left the Eagles. Maybe some more guitar information than just what I mentioned above or tales from the studio. Something! I feel like any DF interview these days is going to be like a broken record. I would love to hear something new from Felder and I'd love to hear more about his life that doesn't involve the things I mentioned above. Truthful or not, I just want some new things for him to talk about. I personally think he's experienced more and has more insight than just the things he chooses to talk about over and over and over.
Let's hear some of those for a change, Don!
Yeah, the bit about Tom's physical appearance was...uncomfortable to hear. It's like, did he look funny until he became famous?
And yeah, I'd like to read a book like Austin described above. Now that he got the "bad, bad Glenn and not nearly as bad Don (Henley), but bad nevertheless" thing out of his system in the book and in subsequent interviews , I'd love to hear what he has to say about life and music.
