I met Glenn Frey on Jan 31st 1997 at Pebble Beach golf links and he was very very nice to me and autographed the front and back side of “Hell Freezes Over” album. I had it professionally framed and it remains one of my all time favorite pieces of memorabilia.
I got a shirt my dad gave me with all them signed it, hell freezes over tour, it's in plastic sealed up, he was just a collector not really a fan, my mom met them in a elevator in the 70s working for a radio station, and they gave her kisses😂 she always told me this growing up
Glen was so generous with his time. He was a visionary in his own way. But you can see how meeting the right people when you're starting out makes all the difference. If people truly cared about the history of popular music in America, this video would have many more views.
I was born in 1968 I discovered radio and music around 1975 and the first band that I noticed that I listen to that I sang to was the Eagles. I miss you Glenn Frey.😢❤
I had no idea Glenn was so articulate in telling a story...at least in an interview. He was PERFECT to play the Cardinals' general manager, Dennis, in "Jerry Maguire".
This was very interesting to watch. Most of (not all) what Glenn talks about here is talked about/covered in the History of the Eagles documentary. What's interesting here is Glenn's demeanor and the pauses that he takes to think about how he's going to answer and his general laid-back vibe. A bit different than how he typically was on camera. Thanks for posting!
Glenn suffered from stomach issue's his whole life...and its what ultimately took his life. You can tell even during this interview that was bothering him and he tried his best to play it down. As a person who has stomach issues and plays in a band, I just can not imagine how Glenn was able to carry on when the Eagles played those last concert tours they did. I am so lucky I was able to finally see the Eagles with Glenn on the last concert tour Glenn ever played on. BTW----He spell's his name with 2 nn's - reminds me of after Tommy Tedesco died - they got his name wrong too.
What stomach issues do you have? I take Omeprazole which helps, but it is tearing my body down… as a musician also I am always interested in seeing what help I can give/get. Thanks.
Those of us fortunate to be born in the early 1950's enjoyed freedom to travel and explore domains of life most born in the last 30 years cannot begin to imagine. This interview brings back memories that shaped the life myself and others my age were very fortunate to live in. Thank you for sharing this interview.
Makes me wanna hear that first Eagles record again. It was '75 and I was recuperating at a friend's house where I discovered that record and played it every day for a month.
@@dmimcgno...geffen is worth like 7 billion...for what? I know, for nothing. Why is there no record business anymore? Because the scumbags can't steal all the money
One of my favorite concerts of all time was the one Glenn did during his “Strange Weather” tour which was filmed in Dublin back in 1992. Amazing show and great sound too.
Glen went into detail about how the band got started with Linda Rondstadt, then the interviewer asked, so how did you guys get started? While talking about the album Desperado, the interviewer asked had the Sergeant Pepper' album come out yet. Yikes, different decades with no clue. I'm sure the interviewer is a nice person and this was still a great interview.
As much as people think Glen was a dick somebody had to play that role in that band. He was the leader. So many great echo go along with a great band. These guys were so talented together. Glen, Randy, Don, Bernie, Joe
You also have Batman. 😂 Britain. . not England by the way and yes you have Eagles. We have a few but numbers are increasing. 🏴 Rock on Tom Jones...
Frey plays the diplomat here, but, having read a fair bit about the Eagles and David Geffen, my take is that the reality was (of course) more complicated. Frey was clearly intelligent, talented, and thoughtful, but also had a sizable ego, could be quick to anger, and seemed to enjoy getting in people's faces without much provocation. In sum, probably not someone you'd want to spent a lot of time around.
This interviewer did not do her homework and there are so many questions one might have asked of Glenn including about his friendship with Bob Seger and bringing Joe Walsh into the band still it’s a good interview nonetheless. Thank you for posting.
Glenn looks very uncomfortable. I think he was really suffering from ulcerative colitis issues, which is in great part what killed him. It must have taken courage and a sweet heart for him to have done this interview.
Too many questions about David Geffen. There are many many things to know about Eagles song writing, relationships, who else was considered but did not become one of the Eagles. Interviewer missed out on much more revealing items.😢😢😢😮😮
This reporter who asked the question of the timeline of Sergeant Pepper, pet sounds, and the Eagles desperado album has no music knowledge here credibility was completely invalidated not knowing that timeline.
Yeah ... GFs A Perfect Example. Eagles Were A Fantastic Band, But GF And DH Had Repulsive, Rotten, 'Holier-Than Thou' Personalities. Their $200 Concert Tickets When Everyone Else Was Charging $35 And $40 Really Let The Secret Out About Those Two, And I've Thought Of Them Accordingly Ever Since.
@@brianambrosemcmahon8531he wasn't always nice according to others who knew him during the Eagles years. But age and the passage of time seems to have mellowed him and he comes off much more likeable than I would have expected.
Well he tried to beat up Don Felder after the last 80’s Eagles concert, refused to speak to the other band members after the incident, didn’t participate in recording overdubs for the band's live album “Eagles Live” and also told Henley that he wouldn’t do the “Hell Freezes Over” Reunion unless he and Don made more money because Schmidtt, Felder and Walsh hadn’t done as much post-Eagles, i’d have to say Frey was the worst. Having said that though, I still think he is a brilliant musician and good storyteller.
I know there were some things about Glenn Frye that some didn’t like, but man he was a very intelligent person and talented of course.

I've never really heard an interview with Glen - he's a very well thought out well spoken guy.
I had no idea Glenn was so articulate in telling a story...at least in an interview.

Indeed. He was a talented and intelligent man.

I saw them at Caljam1 with original members in 1974
Now i see it. Brutal. His Twtr feed was amazing.
Yes you can tell Glenn was not well, in this interview. I know because I have bladder cancer but it’s under control.
What stomach issues do you have? I take Omeprazole which helps, but it is tearing my body down… as a musician also I am always interested in seeing what help I can give/get. Thanks.

A great interview with Glenn about David Geffen.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful interview.
Excellent interview. TY. David Geffen was the man.
Hahaha
He's a monopolizing embezzler.

Glenn Frey was the Heart of The Eagles he's like the Soul of the Band 🦅🎸Great Musician of any era

*then 16-year-old twin daughters *They'll never forget it.
The Eagles are big in Ireland 🇮🇪.
Ilegal immigration is big in Ireland
One of my favorite concerts of all time was the one Glenn did during his “Strange Weather” tour which was filmed in Dublin back in 1992. Amazing show and great sound too.
RIP Glenn
This was a great interview. I've learned what an amazing person David Geffen is, and Glen is a fascinating person, too. Thanks!
By far my favorite Glenn Frey interview.
Thanks for posting this, it's a great interview.
Thanks for the upload!

England has their mega rock stars but we have the Eagles.

I loved Glenn Frey a lot, the heat is on, great song !!!
Nice to hear him, and his talking was good too

If you played a drinking game of taking a shot every time Glenn said "you know" you'd be passed out before this interview was half over!

No not really
Did you read the description of the video
2009 video spotlighting David Geffen
These interviewers are Geffan, all about him.
what a band
David Geffen was the "Free Man in Paris" from the Joni Mitchell song.
This reporter who asked the question of the timeline of Sergeant Pepper, pet sounds, and the Eagles desperado album has no music knowledge here credibility was completely invalidated not knowing that timeline.
The reporter did not even know about the "Babushka Song" which is an epic release on Asylum Records.
They ask questions designed to lead the interviewee to educate you, the listener.
Please correct spelling of Glenn's name. It seems very disrespectful to leave it misspelled like this. Thank you!
@@paperback10 “Very disrespectful”? Get bent!
Was Buddy Holly at Woodstock 😂. Woman needs to do some homework
Yes right before Hendrix
This is actually a third party David Geffen interview...
Interviewer is a bit clueless!
man, he was suffering through that interview- painful
When was this interview?
Who is david geffen. My gourd.
Geez let him go to the bathroom
Gurgle gurgle
I can’t believe how loud his stomach was 🤣
When was this done? Who is the interviewer? Thanks for posting.
Who was the interviewer ?
Eagles' dictator, maybe should have eased on the white stuff
Glenn was a real sweetheart but when he got provoked look out
Yeah, ask Don Felder. 😂
Sinatra had been doing concept albums since the 50’s, Johnny Cash too. But rock n’ rollers think they invented everything! 😂

He died. Years later family regretted that he abused drugs for years and years
Sadly his lifestyle took its toll . A very intelligent musician and nice guy .
@@brianambrosemcmahon8531he wasn't always nice according to others who knew him during the Eagles years. But age and the passage of time seems to have mellowed him and he comes off much more likeable than I would have expected.
Not rare enough.
Who was the biggest douche? Frey or Henley?.
Pretty equal if you ask me
Henley
Henley he hawks UA-cam taking down music. Greedy
Henley as the day is long
Well he tried to beat up Don Felder after the last 80’s Eagles concert, refused to speak to the other band members after the incident, didn’t participate in recording overdubs for the band's live album “Eagles Live” and also told Henley that he wouldn’t do the “Hell Freezes Over” Reunion unless he and Don made more money because Schmidtt, Felder and Walsh hadn’t done as much post-Eagles, i’d have to say Frey was the worst. Having said that though, I still think he is a brilliant musician and good storyteller.
The sale of Asylum was purely a business deal to Geffen. It was his to sell. Right or wrong.
