    I meant to put "the biggest perfectionist of the group". I knew that they were keen and insistent on everything being just right, but sometimes, I can't believe what they did/do, like the 100 times thing for a new song.

    I'm not familiar with the 100 times thing, can you elaborate? I take it that they would play a new song 100 times - would that be before recording it, or before performing it for an audience? Thanks.

    100 times before playing it live. In the 2007 60 minutes interview, they're doing that during a "circle of fear" rehearsal. If you want to watch it, you can download it here (scroll all the way down to the bottom)

    Thank you! I had seen the Australian 60 Minutes interview, but not this one.

    I wanted to read more about the song "One Of These Nights" and found this:

    "Don Felder, who was the Eagles newest guitarist, came up with the opening bass line. In a 1975 Rolling Stone interview, Don Henley credited Felder with helping the Eagles get away from ballads: 'With Don Felder, we can really rock. He's made us nastier and he's done a great guitar solo on One Of These Nights.'"


    (I also remember Frey and Felder having their arms around each other as they came back onstage for an encore)

    Not sure if this really fits the theme of this thread, but I think it's a witty, yet sweet, remark about their personal relationship.

    Don H., on living with Glenn: "Glenn and I were the odd couple. I was sort of the housekeeper, the tidy one. He was the lovable slob."
    "You thought you would be satisfied, but you never will learn to be still."

    Along those lines, this was Don Henley around 1983:
    I still love Glenn and I know that he still loves me and stuff.
