    I've always thought that Visions features two Felders on lead vocals. If Henley is harmonizing, I guess Felder's voice is mixed louder, so I've only heard him. Gotta pay attention to that the next time I hear the song.

    I love it when Glenn 'n Don H sang together - so very special. "After the Thrill is Gone": that's how it's done, peeps.

    It's a fantastic moment in Doolin-Dalton when the chorus starts and Glenn's voice sort of takes over. That's the voice that made me fall in love with the Eagles. Anyway, it's great how it follows Don's lead. Probably wouldn't be as effective if Glenn had sung the verse as well.

    I guess to answer your question, I prefer it when they split lead vocals - I love Ol' 55, After the Thrill is Gone, and Doolin Dalton - so you can hear both voices.

    I didn't know they both sang Good Day in Hell - I can only hear Glenn.

    So is Visions harmonizing??? Maybe it's just me but I always thought it was Felder + either Don Henley or Bernie in unison. It sounds too close to be a harmony.

    I also love the split lead vocals. I love Ol'55, DD, and ATTIG.
    I also love How Long, although I do prefer the early 70's rocker version.

    I have never thought of Visions as other than a Felder lead vocal, so it bemuses me to hear that (presumably) Henley, because I don't think it's Bernie, is singing in unison. It isn't credited as a co lead & I just don't see it that way. It's a close harmony to try & mask the inadequacy of Felder's lead.

    It's interesting & sad that I'm the only person who has mentioned WDIDWMH. I love what Glenn & Don do in that song. I also love what Glenn does in the harmonies in the verses of the title track of LROOE, but I would hesitate to call that a co lead.

    Ah a topic close to my heart. I always wanted more of the shared leads, particularly because I could never really distinguish the dual harmonies. I wish on the debut album, on songs like tryin,Nightingale, they had experimented more in that way or even the Long Run. HC worked cause of Henley's singular and soulful approach but definitely more Glenn or Bernie co leads wouldve pleased me.I always thought the longhaired members (Randy and Glenn) had a clear voices that contrasted well with the Afro members (Don H and Bernie) who had rougher voices; so maybe a Randy and Bernie co lead woudve been fantastic or Glenn taking the lead on Nightingale with Don singing just the bridge of 'Here goes my baby shining like a Nightingale..' etc. What do you all think about these ideas?

    I love the bridge part and the don verse where Glenn does those excellent counter parts with Don. I love how Glenn uses his solo style of singing there
