    I agree it's tough to pick out Joe's vocals. It's funny because some of his own songs have great vocals and harmonies (I think Pretty Maids All in a Row on Hell Freezes Over stands out in my mind), although I don't think of him as having a great voice, necessarily.

    It's interesting to me that he is off to the side on the live version of Hole in the World on the Farewell I DVD. He may have trouble retaining his line of harmony when there are several other strong singers and harmony lines around him. Some people have that issue.

    This is probably obvious to some of you, but who sings the bass line on No More Walks in the Woods? Is it Glenn? He sounds like he's doing some of the higher harmonies later in the song. If it is Glenn, he sounds completely different from usual!
    Yes, Glenn sings the low part in NMWITW as he does in Waiting In The Weeds.

    You can hear Joe very clearly during Take It to the Limit from the HOTE concert, on 'spent my life running 'round'. Felder can be heard at some point on New Kid in Town too, I will have a look next time I watch it thought as I can't remember exactly where. In more recent Eagles performances, I have noted that Joe doesn't do backing vocals on some 'all in' moments: there's a video of Long Road Out of Eden in Austria where Joe doesn't sing any vocals at all, be it the chorus or the outro, the latter of which seemed to feature everybody else. There were also a couple of occasions it happened when I saw them on the HOTE tour, alas I've forgotten which now!

    Just wanted to bump this thread as I have a bit of a query.

    I know that there are no harmony vocals on The Disco Strangler, but I'm starting to wonder if it might not be the only Eagles song with none. My question is - are there any harmony/backing vocals on the studio version of Learn To Be Still? I was listening to the song recently and I really don't hear anyone other than Don H on vocals throughout the song. Is there anything I'm missing, or is it genuinely just him singing?

    I've never heard any backing vocals on Learn to Be Still, I did keep meaning to post to that effect. As much as I love it, it really does belong on a Henley solo album.

    "After the Thrill is Gone" doesn't have any backing/harmony vocals that I can hear. I think that's the first Eagles track not to have them.

    (I mean other than the parts where the co-leads are singing harmony together; this may not be what JCL means).

    Ok, I took a quick listen and if you're referring to the parts around the 1:33 and 2:47 marks, then I do hear Randy, barely. When he blends in, he really blends in. Thanks, Scarlet Sun.

    There's a fair few where the only backing vocals are odd 'ooh' or 'aah' (I'm not sure of their proper name!), such as Wasted Time.

    Another one is that You Are Not Alone has only very subtle background harmonies in the second verse.

    I think you're selling those oohs and aahs a little short there thelastresort. Didn't Glenn say ooohs for $000s.

    I love the early live versions of Desperado where the band's oohs and aahs aren't drowned out by strings and the mighty Hotel California album is awash with them.
