I'm not sure what they're doing these days, but I don't think I'd want to go and see them without Glenn Frey - would be missing far too big a piece of the jigsaw.

I was lucky enough to see them at Wembley, on the bill supporting Elton John (who drove half the audience, including me, out of Wembley with his rendition of 'Benny's got the shits' or whatever it's called). Also on the bill, Chaka Khan (Rufus), Beach Boys, Stackridge, and Joe Walsh - who joined The Eagles soon after. They were very good.

I'm listening to some rather spikey darkwave right now so won't be posting my selection for today till later. :thumbsup:

This will be hard to beat. I'm posting two versions. The first is on my hi fi now. The second is the original mix. Gutted to have missed them play in London in 2011, owing to my (ex) girlfriend sulking on the night :rant:

Never good to play a stadium gig and decide to do your new album in it's entirety before its released and people are familiar with the songs.

I always thought the golden rule for stadium/festival gigs was to play the hits

Benny and the Jets, though. Had I been familiar with it, I would have left even earlier.

Elvis Costello, in the early days, would make 80% of his set unreleased material. I saw him a few times and it was always the same. Mind you, playing the whole of This Year's Model before it was released, then doing the same a year later with Armed Forces wasn't exactly a hardship :lolol:

From the late, gentle Steve Strange. The melodic chorus from 1:10 is so beautiful.

Edit: may need to up the volume, such a quiet video.

Shamelessly posted having just heard this on the radio. A PERFECT summer song from my youth

Reminds me of when Neil Young (I think) played his new album in it’s entirety and then told the audience. “Now I’m going to play some songs you’ve heard before” and proceeded to play the songs from the new album again. It may be urban myth but it made me laugh.

Nearly right, he just played the title track “Tonights the Night” again :smile:

Still as good now as it was in 1997.

I've edited it - it wouldn't allow you to copy the official video for some reason.
