What did you think of CF??

2/16/75 St. Louie. . "Remember the jail John?!? Fantastic!!" LOL

Just started 5/5/1973 Tampa. . not the most fluid but it's great to hear the moment isn't lost on Percy as he mentions it to 56,800 numerous times. .

Ahh yes but in this instance, the one that Robert is talking castration, the flash pots. . do they go off early? When and where. . cant make out anything like that happening in the audio. .When I think of flash pots, I think of James Hetfield and wonder if that kind of thing almost happened in Tempe. .

Achilles Last Stand 7/20/77. . This is the mother of all disasters. . Im perplexed by this recording and always have been. . For one it's in my backyard at ASU (which coincidently I saw Percy 11 years later Now And Zen tour). . Two, imagining being on stage when the BAND explodes. . looking at each other in that "what the fuck is going on up here"!. . This song is a technical bitch and with how fragile they could be on any given night in '77 Im surprised this didnt happen more often. .Third, Jimmy almost getting killed during all of this. . The crazy way , of all times and recordings, to have some ghost recording of All Right Now come in and THAT be the only recording of what could be considered the worst live moment in the history of the greatest band ever. . the moment it comes in always gets me. . The ending, the beginning, the middle. .When Percy says. . "That was ALS". . uhh no it wasn't. . PS When did the pyro go off and almost get Jimmy?? PPS THX Zephead315 for posting it. .I had to listen to it 3 times. .

^^^^ Killer shot Rover. .

9.28.1971Osaka

Up in Olympia WA. . 95% blocked out and still the brightest thing ever. . Pissed about not getting there but we have more eclipses to come soon:)

After TTW on night 5 in EC. . Percy. . Are you loooose??? Bonzo. . yes! yes thank you!! Percy. . I know youre loose Bonzo good lord he had diarrhea all the way through the last American tour. . loose is not the word. . he's got the only drum stool in the world that is a commode!! Plantations at its best. . FKN CLASSIC!!!!

40 years on, I have Seattle 7/17/1977 on for the first time ever (I have the vid and have watched it 20 times but never heard the SBD) and its not as bad as I thought it would be. . I hit about 10 anniversary shows through the year and while they have some awful moments, 98% is pure magic. .G O A T. .

37 years ago today. . Mannheim 7/3/80. . one of the better Over Europe shows. .

Great article. . thanks for posting:):)

This is one of the greatest photos in the history of history. .Being a drummer this is what every rocker wants. . to be a ROCKSTAR. . Percy was so incredibly photogenic even birds want pics with him. .

Indeed John. . Indeed . . I have 6/25/77 on as I write and will do 1972 later. . TURN IT UP TODAY BADGEHOLDERS!!!!!!

Awesome. . Well worth the wait. . Thanks for this Strider:):):) From those of us that came to the party late (I was 4 at the time of this show) its sweet the recollections and mental imagery these trips in the hot tub time machine bring. . This week is special in so many more ways than one. .Cant wait for the 23rd

45 years to the day. . 6/15/1972 Uniondale. . if only the taper would have shut the hell up. .

Congrats Walter!!!!! I got paid today. . .that made me happy

I was just turned on to this show about a month back and what a hell of a show it is!! Where were you sitting John???

lol +1 :):)

Sticking to my agenda of trying to listen to shows 40 years on Ive got June 10th 1977 3rd night at MSG in the headphones tonight. .

This was an incredibly tight band and one of my favorite groups. That being said the way they handled Don Felder was crap. He didnt always get along with the 2 headed monster and had a legitimate gripe about the business side and the money. Before Felder came in the clock was ticking on the Eagles. .Ive read his book and seen interviews and he seems like a class guy. . He was a part of the classic line up and a huge part of their sound. He deserved better and ultimately got his due in court. That always bugged me about these guys that they always had to be the kids with the most toys. . Now with Glen gone one original member (Don) theyre no better than Foreigner or Boston or Deep Purple. . Don's sitting on a pile of money. . Its over let go and dont water down the legacy of the greatest American group of all time. .
