    Default What songs would you have liked to see the Eagles cover

    With the band recently covering locally based songs on the tour, it made me wonder what songs you would have liked to see them record or even just played live. Are there certain bands you would have liked to see them emulate? Personally I would have been intrigued if they did some Fleetwood Mac materia ( I know that they don’t have any female singers but with Randy’s vocal range they could kinda pull some of that stuff off). I tried looking for another thread for this but couldn’t find one. If it needs to be moved then I apologize in advance

    Not possible now, but anyways, you may have known that Elton John performed with them a few times right? In those performances, I wish they would have covered Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting. With the brilliance of piano from Elton, and maybe some electric guitar magic from Walsh and Felder, it would have been awesome!

    Uh... who would have sung it? That song is one of a kind.


    ETA: I found the original thread we have on this topic.

    Well, I was meaning Elton John to sing it in that hypothetical situation. The band would have provided the music and harmonies. And also, they did Carol with Elton a few times.

    The bad thing about covers, especially from a group who is well known for writing their own stuff, is that often the covers don't sound right.
    I think Sea Cruise sounds atrocious. It is totally not an Eagles style song.

    One song I think the Eagles could have covered and sounded like their own would have been "Two out of Three ain't bad" by Meatloaf. I know Meatloaf said that it sounded like an Eagles song, and they were popular when he did that song, so he thought people would like it.

    According to Shun, they did Fats Domino's Walking to New Orleans Wednesday night (in NOLA).

    I somehow don't think Glenn would have agreed to them covering other songs...(I suppose if he had, they would have done it before). They could have pulled off covers of CSN&Y though.

    They did cover "Sea Cruise" during The Long Run Tour, at least in Indianapolis in June 1980.
