I watched the Kennedy Center Honors The Eagles back in 2016 and they had the woman who was there in the beginning Linda Ronstadt tell the Eagles story during the video montage they did. She said she had first met Don Henley and Glen Frey at The Troubadour and she was putting together a touring band and she hired Henley and Frey to tour in her band with her.
Here's the video if anyone wants to give it a watch. Bob Seger is da man.
Oh wow, just wow. So much to unpack from that clip. Thanks so much for sharing it.
The different renditions of Eagles songs were just riveting. Bog Seger's rock'n' roll hair, it's a thing for the ages. What a mane.
Barack nodding and mouthing lyrics was a treat.
Steve Vai doing Steve Vai things and more with that Colbert spoof at the end.
Some of what Linda Ronstadt was saying will be in the CNN documentary -- such timeless music. Kings of Leon were spot on with their version, the lead singer hit all of the right notes.
It was particularly interesting to see the crowd reacting and singing along to the Eagles songs -- including the Eagle honorees who were present and their immediate family who stood up and danced on their higher octane songs. It's like everyone knew the words. Can't imagine a more successful and rewarding life as musicians than the ones led by the Eagles.
