A couple of quick questions I've been meaning to ask for a while:
1) During On the Border who sings the line 'Never mind your face'? I think 'Never mind your name' is Randy; 'And we wanna know...' is Glenn; and 'You better step...' is Don H...?
2) Is Disco Strangler the only song they ever recorded with no backing vocals at all whatsoever?
This song just came up so I came back to your question. SS must be right that it's Bernie on "Never mind your face" as the other lines are certainly sung by Randy, Glenn and Don. I love the way it's structured:
Randy: Never mind your name...
All: ...Just give us your number.
Bernie: Never mind your face...
All: ...Just show us your card.
Glenn: And we wanna know...
All: ...Whose wing are you under.
Don: You better step to the right...
All: ...Or we can make it hard.
I should point out that Glenn is very prominent in the line 'whose wing are you under' even though the others are singing.
Thanks guys, I thought Bernie's line sounded a bit too gruff to be him which is why I thought it may have been a non-Eagle who said it.
Anyway, another I inadvertently found the other day:

I think that's the only time I've ever seen a three-part Don-Glenn-Joe harmony. Whether it was intentional or not I don't know as TBS is usually a dead cert for lines like those...
Why do I have no recollection of that guy on keyboard next to Timothy??? Is he there every show?
Agree it is probably rare to have those 3 singing w/o TBS, in this case I think the very end of that line needs to go higher and, I don't know the word, more forceful/stronger (?), so that's why he comes in there.
Usually Glenn and Don(harmonizing with Glenn majority of the song) sing together during that line and Timothy and Joe comes in on tears on your shoulder. wow!! I need to check out other New Kid in Town clips.
The guy on the keys is Michael Thompson. He's been in the band over 10 years. Its Will, Richard and Michael on the keys or piano. Michael is always on Timothy's side while Will and Richard on the left of the stage(our right).
