Dan Tanas is celebrating 50 years, and in noting the celebration, Don and Glenn get a mention.

I've always wondered how they were able to chill in Dan Tana's in the mid 70s without getting mobbed!

Soda, myself and FP did go there after Glenn 's After Hours concert in the Wiltern. I remember sitting there thinking how much it was a part of musical history and thinking about Lyin Eyes being composed there.

Happy Birthday Dan Tanas.

The Eagles and Don Felder made this 'best of' concert list.

of course they're great but it's good to see them in a journalist's top three
and hooray for Sir Paul at the top spot

Thanks VA! Looks like that guy has good musical taste!

And Happy Anniversary to Dan Tana's. The food is excellent there - I can see why they've stayed in business for so long. to another 50 years!!!

Here's an interview with Bill Symszyck. I'm guessing from around 2008/2009 but it could be later.

Amongst the Eagles stuff, he says:
- at first he didn't want "to do some country band."
- he originally was against the idea of Joe Walsh joining the Eagles.
- Bernie left of his own volition.
- Felder's book - "was pretty true, concerning the stories and the animosities – he did not exaggerate all that much."
- "Face Dances was the roughest album I have ever made. It was worse than The Long Run."

He also talks in more detail about how they wrote the songs on the later albums.

I'll let him off the comment about Randy pouring a beer over Glenn because he says he wasn't there and heard about it later.

It's also nice to read my old crush, Jay Ferguson, is a wonderful dude (even if he gets called Joe in that sentence).

Thanks for posting that interview. I had already read it. I think it’s from 2012. Yes, Bill Szymczyk got confused during the interview when talking about Randy and the beer-pouring story. Anyway, he says that the stories told in Heaven and Hell are true. He certainly knows a lot of things about the band since he worked with them for years.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Well, he said they were 'pretty true', and that Felder didn't exaggerate all that much. Which means he did exaggerate some. So I still take them with a grain of salt, and of course, Szymczyk wasn't there for what I recall as the worst bits, which is when they were on the various tours, rather than recording.

Everybody has their own truth and their own perceptions of what things happened and why. Add a lot of drugs, alcohol, and lack of sleep and I'm surprised they can remember anything.
