Glenn Frey. Intelligent. Interesting, well-spoken, thoughtful, wonderful singer/songwriter/guitarist. A great team player in one of America's most successful and beloved bands. Thank you for posting, Oldschool7166.
Hi,@@jeffwisener1378 There are always leaders in bands. Together- Glenn Frey and Don Henley were the leaders of the Eagles. One would only have to ask Joe and Tim today to verify this. As a team, it's true, The Eagles had their issues with one another. That said, what great band hasn't? This isn't just a statement. Can you name one mega- successful, world-famous, long-lasting, band that hasn't had internal personality issues within the band at some point?
Jackson Browne wrote Take it easy, start to finish. He should have acknowledge that and while "The Eagles" (whom I love) definitely made "Country Rock" mainstream, they did not invent it or create it, as he seems to suggest. Many bands, including Buffalo Springfield, Flying Burrito Brothers, and even the Monkees, were doing Country Rock before The Eagles. The Eagles perfected it and for that he should take full credit.
I caddied 3 days for Glenn at Augusta Nat'l as he was the guest of a former Master's winner.. On day 2, we're walking up onto the 14th green, and Stadler, his host, queries brusquely, "What do you lie?" Glenn turns around and motioning with his finger, starts counting his strokes... Before I could stop my wise-ass mouth, I piped in, in full melody, "You can't lie, you're lyin' five." Immediately his eyes crinkle in bemusement, and he retorts, "Where did you hear that?" "Off the cuff" He points to his bag and says, "Grab that green thing in that bag-pocket." Lo and behold, there was a C-note in that pocket...and BOOM! a hundred dollar tip o' the tam." Told this (true) story to Vince, not long after Glenn's death...and he too, giggled... What a day, what a moment, what a life, what a singer, what a life..... Love ya, Glenn...
That's awesome. I had a few wobbly pop refreshed NHL players tip me a hundred for shuttling them from the clubhouse to the dock at a course in Canada. I had the easy job, imagine being the guy who had tell inebriated enforcers tha a ghettoblaster in your cart is kind of against club rules. Cheers
It's such a shame Glen croaked after having surgery in a New York hospital. At age 67 Glen had so much to contribute to the future of the Eagles and life itself. I'm glad the surviving band members were able to press forward and continue to play concerts. Adding Vince Gill and using Glen's son to round out the reformed Eagles proved to be a winning formula and the best way forward for everyone involved.
The great thing about the Eagles was they were a band where everyone played a special role contributed their talents , creativity and sound as well as the song writing..Joe Walsh was the finishing touch! Take any one person out of the band and IMO it's no longer the Eagles. The riffs were just as important as the vocals. It's a shame that Glenn didn't understand that and got all caught up in the business aspect, It was Don that wrote their most successful song of the Eagles existence. Glenn could only dream of writing or playing a song that complex because he was simply no where near the guitar player Don was..R.I.P Glenn
Like Carlos Rodriguez I'm glad he recognized Don Felder. I wasn't there for their experience but....I will always consider Don Felder a Eagles band member. I have the Eagles documentary and I recognize ALL the guys that were in the band. From the beginning to the end! In 1977 I was just 13 years old... they were like 29/30 years old. I'm an Eagles fan.
This is a great interview - I've seen it before, but it's interesting what he said about Henley. I wonder what their relationship was really like after they broke up. + when people criticize how the rest of the band has been treated, I always say well, Linda Ronstadt put the original band together which is what he basically said.
I can't believe that I have noticed how awesome of an interviewer Costas was. I love the Eagles and I think that Costas is fond of them as well. I also think that he probably loves music. Glen was very open and interesting to listen too.
Glenn always loved I can't tell you why because one he told Timmy to sing like Smokey Robinson.. and Glenn was really proud of the lead guitar work he laid down with that Stratocaster and that delay pedal that gave it such a great soulful sound.. he talked about his laying down the solos for that song as one of his greatest accomplishments in many interviews through the years.. even though it was later in the career...
I still remember getting a text from a buddy that day telling me that Glenn passed. I was with my girlfriend and we were going to cook dinner and I had to look all over the internet. I just didnt believe it. All 7 of the eagles were still alive and as far as I knew, were all in good health.
I dislike Glenn frey more and more now but Henley can't even be fake likeable as Glenn can. I almost feel like Henley wants to be disliked. I feel like he wants you and I to think he isn't friendly
There are so many bad interviewers conducting interviews these days. These Costas interviews are a clinic of how they should be done. His Paul Simon interviews are are so insightful and fun to watch. I wish Costas would do this more often.
I think Americans don't pronounce the 'e' in names. Joyce Meyer, the evangelist, pronounces her name MYER, but it is spelt Meyer, and yesterday I watched a crime documentary about a woman called Nicole Vanderheyden, and they pronounced it Vanderhyden. So they miss out the 'e'. It is the same in every interview, they all call him Fry. If you hear news bulletins from when he died, the newscasters also call him Fry. No-one ever called him 'Fray'. Don't forget Frey didn't correct him, so he thinks it is OK to be called Fry.
The Eagles success was largely a contribution of artistic friends who added their talents in song writing. Glenn and Don didn't write all those hits, there were many others, Jackson Browne, David Blue, Tom Waits, JD Souther, Bob Seeger, Jack Tempchin, Steve Young and others who wrote or co wrote many Eagles songs. Glenn and Don just took the lions share of the credit for it all.
Whenever I get to feel this way Try to find new words to say I think about the bad old days We used to know Nights of winter turn me cold Fears of dying, getting old We ran the race, the race was won By running slowly Could be soon we'll cease to sound Slowly upstairs, faster down Then to revisit stony grounds We used to know Remembering mornings, shillings spent Made no sense to leave the bed The bad old days they came and went Giving way to fruitful years Saving up the birds in hand While in the bush the others land Take what we can before the man Says it's time to go Each to his own way I'll go mine Best of luck with what you find But for your own sake remember times We used to know
The desperado album was very good but it was not what they did in hotel California era. Bernie is a great guitarist and string player but he isn't Felder and combining Felder and Walsh who were true rocknroll guitarists made the eagles better but I like the craftsmanship of the desperado album. They just weren't there yet though.
@@skooby_doobie_doonkann3334 Walsh and Felder isn't Bernie. Yeah, if rock is your "there yet" criteria. If that's the criteria, then Led Zeppelin or UFO.
Interesting that Steely Dan does mention the Eagles - the song Everything You Did - “Turn up the Eagles the neighbors are listening”. Not a flattering mention but hey it’s Steely Dan.
Browne did indeed write most of it. Glenn's contribution to the lyrics were the lines "Well, I'm a standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona Such a fine sight to see It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford Slowin' down to take a look at me"
Hotel California was completely written ..all parts included by Don Felder. The chumps they were Frey and that arrogant drummer made ''changes'' and took the credit! It is true they had a contract where all got equal shares but for this chump to try and take credit is typical. Note...he didn't mention HC as his favorite because he knew he didn't write it.
But Felder gets due credit here. I'm happy to see that. But let's not forget that this is two years before the eagles got back together and at this point, none of them really had contemplated it. The point is, this was before Felder wanted his due in $$$$$
I don't like most of the Eagles songs (sure a few I do) and they are a poor man's Buffalo Springfield. Glenn Fry solo hit The One who Loves You is a so good. But the Eagles were slick from almost the start .. you tell 'em Bob. Life in the Fast Lane, Victim of Love, Take it too the Limit .. yeah i know these are loved songs but i can't listen to them. Better are Tequila Sunrise, Take it Easy and Peaceful Easy Feeling are good. But compare them to the Buffalo Springfield (Neil Young and Steve Stills) Mr Soul, Upside Down, On the Way Home, Expecting to Fly, Rock and Roll Woman, For What it's Worth, Sad Memory. Jackson Brown was prolific and better than the Eagles but he is not in the league with Neil Young, Dylan, The Replacements or even Marshall Crenshaw, The Kinks, The Beatles, Warren Zevon.
Agree with you that Tequila Sunrise and Peaceful Easy Feeling were good tunes but a lot of their work seemed contrived and mediocre. Jackson Browne's first five albums were all superb.

So i'm sure they would like your comments. They were the best and most fun to watch and listen too in the 70's. And their songs will stand the test of time when these80's, 90's and beyond Band will be "has-beens".

Well I’m glad he gave credit to Don Felder.
Don’t give Frey that much credit. This interview was way before he had his final dust up with Felder and before they even reunited
He might have given him some credit in this interview but he and Henley reserved the writing and publishing credits for themselves. Greed.
Yeah after downplaying him and Hotel California . lol
@@davidgaugamela9801 So Felder does not
make anything out of that particular song?
@@davidgaugamela9801 Thanks for the old news Mr Cancel Culture you.
Bob Costas was an excellent interviewer. His show, Later with Bob Costas, was always entertaining. He treated his guests with warmth and respect.
True,he never tried to push a leftist agenda like so many others.
Love you and miss you Glenn.
You were amazing and will be remembered forever. Sleep well Glenn!
I like Glenn Frey and the rest of the Eagles. Best band there ever was in my opinion. Wish he would have lived longer. He gave the world alot.
My own father died earlier that same day (Jan. 18, 2016). Dad was older than Glenn Frey though - he was 82. Miss both of them.

Great fictional story, even though you stole it
Best Eagles interview ever. Should be kept for posterity.
Can’t believe I found this
I love that one of my favorite bands were fans of another of my favorite bands, Steely Dan. Made my week!
Frey & Henley completed each other.
It's such a shame Glen croaked after having surgery in a New York hospital. At age 67 Glen had so much to contribute to the future of the Eagles and life itself.
I'm glad the surviving band members were able to press forward and continue to play concerts. Adding Vince Gill and using Glen's son to round out the reformed Eagles proved to be a winning formula and the best way forward for everyone involved.
My FATHER PASSED IN 09 AN GLENNS DEATH HIT ME JUST ABOUT AS HARD THAT IS HOW MUCH I LOVE THE EAGLES
I can’t tell you why is beautiful love this song in 2022 timeless and loving if you don’t need it
Glenn is one of my music greats

Good to see Glen giving credit to Don Felder and Joe Walsh, it's a pity Bob Costas wasn't listening to Glen's responses. Y
He looks so good and healthy here...gone too soon...
It bugs me that no one brings up “long run”…..I love that album……I know it was hard to make……but it was beautiful….
R.I.P. Glenn Frey!
Never heard a bad Eagles album!
I can't believe that I have noticed how awesome of an interviewer Costas was. I love the Eagles and I think that Costas is fond of them as well. I also think that he probably loves music. Glen was very open and interesting to listen too.
AMEN!! Eagles Rock Forever!? 🤗👍🤘🙏💓
Lovers' moon is ma favorite from his solo career and Lyin' eyes with the Eagles.
Such a great interview!

Absolutely grateful for this upload BUT I am also curious...IS there a part 2 and could you possibly share that with us as well?
All the tunes on side 2 are great glen !
WOW!! What a talent!!
I agree, One of these nights and I can't tell you why are my fav's too. Victim of love coming in 3rd :p

Really good acknowledgement about the help from Linda Ronstadt
Feldner is the one who wrote Hotel California.
Glen was my favorite Eagle. It's a shame he passed at such a young age.
Eagles. Great band, great sound. Though I could never stand Henley, and that didn't change over the years.
Completely agree...any time that bastard opens he's mouth in which he's not singing, id love to punch him.
Henley, great talent, ironically he despises people that have the same qualities as him.
Christopher Agan exactly. They are young of course and they have their own opinion and as they grew older they become mature. They are the best ❤️
I dislike Glenn frey more and more now but Henley can't even be fake likeable as Glenn can. I almost feel like Henley wants to be disliked. I feel like he wants you and I to think he isn't friendly
Thank you.
He was envious of Don Felder’s ability to play guitar
The best of the best - miss you Glenn Frey!

"Glenn Fry is with us".

Great start to an interview.

"The Saltines"...love it!
Prefer to see the long haired Glen over the expensive suit look. Desperado is the Eagles best song. Still my favorite song of all time.
He didn’t mention “Hotel California” because it’s Don Felders.
Awesome interview!
Everyone of these guys had success outside of The Eagles. That band haf huge talent
Felder's book balanced the docu History of the Eagles, which was unflattering to felder.
Glenn Frey 1948 2016 may you rest in
3:04 did he actually recognize Don Felder? I can’t believe it.

It's your world now totally awesome
Hotel California is a note for note copy of Jethro Tull's "We used to know".
Whenever I get to feel this way
Try to find new words to say
I think about the bad old days
We used to know
Nights of winter turn me cold
Fears of dying, getting old
We ran the race, the race was won
By running slowly
Could be soon we'll cease to sound
Slowly upstairs, faster down
Then to revisit stony grounds
We used to know
Remembering mornings, shillings spent
Made no sense to leave the bed
The bad old days they came and went
Giving way to fruitful years
Saving up the birds in hand
While in the bush the others land
Take what we can before the man
Says it's time to go
Each to his own way I'll go mine
Best of luck with what you find
But for your own sake remember times
We used to know
Egh, some similarities. Not a complete rip off.
Problems in the band are pointet out. But in a famaly is not oll good. I can say only. Thankyou for all the good Music

It's due to distortion of the audio. Every "S" is distorted.

It is true they had a contract where all got equal shares but for this chump to try and take credit is typical. Note...he didn't mention HC as his favorite because he knew he didn't write it.

I always thought it was pronounced like Freigh
It should be lol
A rock singer and guitar player wearing suit and tie, having a haircut like a salesman... kinda ridiculous
Cant stand him
