    I vote for Learn to Be Still.

    I know this won't bother everyone. However, I don't like how it makes out Jesus to be one of a series of people with meaningless and empty messages, going so far as to equate the crucifixion with trendy gurus losing popularity. I don't expect Christian messages from the Eagles, of course. I understand that Don Henley, who wrote the lyrics, does indeed believe Jesus Christ was a deluded "starry-eyed messiah" and is one of the "wrong gods" people are following home. He has every right to use his music to preach to us about it, and I have every right to dislike the taste of his disdain.

    Say what you like about "Hole in the World" - at least it brings us all together.

    Another thing about LTBS - it sounds like a solo track stuck onto an Eagles album, whereas HITW is a real group effort with its magnificent, soaring harmonies.

    Well, the best two versions are 1976 Seattle and 1980 Santa Monica. By this I mean a 29th July audience recording which my friends have. Brilliant version with harmonies equal to the released one. It is just stunning there.
    The chemistry... nuff said

    While I knew the live album was fake & overdubbed, for some reason I thought that 7BR was about the only track which did represent what they sounded like live. (I guess I thought the version of LBG was fairly real too, but it isn't according to you).

    Then not long ago I discovered that part of Glenn's vocal has been removed from it & replaced with a second part by Don Henley. It utterly turned me off the song, which I vowed I would never listen to again.

    This is an extreme reaction on my part. I am well aware that this song will probably win this game. But to me it is a fraud. And even if I hadn't found out that information, I was bored with the song anyway. They didn't write it. It isn't what it seems.

    I haven't reacted to this but I didn't know this and I too am really upset and disappointed by it.

    However, could this be partially because Glenn wasn't interested in coming into the studio and fixing up his own parts, so Don did it out of necessity? He was really disconnected from the band at this time.

    Regardless, the fakeness of it sucks, although of course I was aware that it was "fixed up" to sound perfect.

    I think you’re right about why Don filled In Glenn’s part. Based on how Felder describes that time of the band, and how Glenn was just ready to call it quits after that concert, I believe that’s why Henley filled in for Glenn

    I do agree about the probable reason for it, and let's be honest here. That's on Glenn & his mood as much as it is on the others. It would have been better not to include the song at all. But as we know, it was not the only song where this stuff occurred.

    Are you really sure that LTBS is an attack on Jesus Christ, Soda? Do you not think this interpretation may be a bit too specific?

    I think it was a disparagement of all religions and attempts to find spiritual fulfillment outside of oneself, but obviously the imagery deliberately calls to mind Christ.
