I’m a huge, I say again, HUGE fan of Don Felder. One of the most underestimated guitarists ever. Say, Don… I’m a golfer, too (17 handicap) – when are you coming to Kalgoorlie (Western Australia) for a hit? Let me know and I’ll arrange the game It’s a sand green course at present, but we’re getting a new resort-style” course which will be finished sometime next year. 18 holes of grass – they’re saying it’s going to be in the top 10 desert courses of the world – YOU HAVE TO COME AND PLAY! Yep, and bring your guitar (or several) too!

You are a masterful guitarist. I am a musician (clasical guitarist) and I can say you have a good feel about your playing. The Eagles are a bunch of money greedy musicians only concerned with the bottom line. Thank you for the wonderful runs of melodies. Thanks for the awesome licks that you roll out like nothing. You are a true artist.

just finished the book…………………………………………………
went to see the eagles last year in dublin for my birthday as a true eagles fan.drove trucks across america for two years and when you approach california after two days driving,the only thing you want to listen to is the eagles.
i wish we could bring bottles into the gig in dublin,because mr. felder i would have gladly rained them down on don (is my hair ok) henly and glenn (i am f#’kin buddah) frey.i totally understand the position you were put in by the “gods”.its a shame bernie was’nt by your side at the end.you have nothing to feel guilty about the band,you were treated atrociously and soldiered on,which i could’nt have because i would have knocked the two of them out and been out of a job.but that’s my irish personality.fu#kin like me or i’ll knock you out1lol.i can’t believe you were so gracious at the end of the book,i admire that.don’t lose that trait.sorry for the rant but i hate people who think their important.it does’nt go down well in ireland.we’re not starstruck here.you see bono or enya on the street and its like “whats the story ,hows tricks and move on”.i’m sorry my wife paid those rip off prices for my 40th birthday.i enjoyed the gig but i could have been listening to the cd.there was no interaction with the crowd.everything note perfect and goodnight from don at the end the only word spoken to the audience.i felt cheated,more so since i read your book. whatever you and yours do i hope it works out well and god bless your family.
cheers phillip.

I’ve been a huge Eagles fan since the mid 1970′s. Felder was always my favorite member. His book, Heaven and Hell, proves Felder is a class act, a man with a good heart, not to mention a fabulous guitarist. Having seen Eagles concerts live in Atlanta 1977, and Philly in 2003, they are not the same great band without him. As long as Felder is not a member, I will never attend another Eagles concert nor buy Eagles music ever again. Obviously, Frey is a big greedy bully that gets off on others’ misfortunes and Henley is a narcissitic antisocial egomaniac. Walsh, although a good guitarist, must have suffered brain damage from drinking and forgot what “loyalty” means. I will always feel Eagles are America’s Beatles thanks to Don Felder, who was completely under-appreciated and over-shadowed. Don, thanks for the great book (I read the whole book in 2 days) and wish you and your family well. You deserve nothing but the best. I hope you have great musical success in the future. Ordering the book from Amazon UK was easy, only took a couple of days to get it. I recommend it to every music fan.

I went to see the Eagles at the staple center and was really disapointed that Don was’nt playing, to me the Eagles ARE NOT the Eagles unless Mr. Felder is playing. Had I known in advance that Don would’nt be playing I would NOT have spent $600.00 to see them. I dont know what the problem is but I wish Mr. Felder and Mr. Frey would get off their high horse!! Don your the best!!

Really Enjoyed reading the book, and couldent put it down until i finished it,!! A great insight into what it must have been like playing in a popular seventies band, I hope Mr Henley and Mr Frey, take time out to read it and reflect back on those days when the MUSIC mattered most,!

The recent Eagles concerts here in L.A. ( I saw last Sunday nights )was both a set list of predictability, and filled with no surprises. 11 of the same ol/same ‘ol classics played after hearing 4 new ones and 3 Henley solo’s and 2 Walsh solo’s ( yes, that’s only 20 songs ). Isn’t it time to leave the solo tunes to the solo tours?? — Perhaps Henley, Frey, Azoff and the boys can attend one of the two Springsteen shows this week and see how The Boss mixes & changes his set list every night and how fans sit at the edge of thier seat, or better yet jumping out of it with songs different than the night before. Nothing worse than paying top dollar for a boring concert.

Here’s some latest press about the Eagles album/DF book release collision with a few quotes from Don:

timesonline.co.uk

H.Hodges,
October 28, 2007
I forgot to mention in my last rant,and for those who might not be aware,but the Eagles are playing a show in London on october 31st.Tickets are priced at £1000 ($2000),and are available only to some corporate types,half of which would`nt know a B flat from a bulls` foot !! I can understand why Don Felder felt uncomfortable playing Eagles gigs for certain US politicians now.Maybe he would have been better advised in aiming that Takamine acoustic at a certain guitarist/singers` head ?? Nice to see that “the gods” treat their genuine life-long fans well ! To replace Mr.Felder,they now have more people on stage than Earth wind and fire plus Kool and the gang combined !!!

H.Hodges,
October 28, 2007
Don Henley- avid political commentator and self-appointed champion of artists` rights.Then gets into bed with Wallmart ? Seems like you could be another self-righteous,self-serving politician Mr Henley.Oh yes,ever heard of the phrase “charity begins at home” ? This is why The Eagles need two keyboard players,a journeyman guitar player and a horn section to TRY and replace Mr Felder ! Classic case of do as I say,not do as I do !! To write Heaven and hell took a lot of guts,which is more than can be said for Messrs.Henley and Frey(don`t think much about the reactions of Walsh and Schmidt either). I`m a devoted Eagles fan by the way,but delighted that Don Felder has enlightened people about “the gods”. Hope the others can live with their consciences,well said Don,good luck in all you do in the near future !

Abe Smith,
October 27, 2007
Hi its me again.Heaven and hell arrived from amazon uk yesterday and i’ve been on a readathon and have read the book from cover to cover.Don has wrtten a good account of his life in and out of the Eagles. The parts about Joe Walsh’s social eventing are hilarious(this reminds me ,when i asked Albert Lee at a gig a few weeks ago in Dundee, Scotland if he new Mr Walsh,he replied with a smile on his face, yeh i know Joe well, never a dull moment when he’s around)
All Felder/Eagles fans should read this book and form their own opinion on the actions of Henley/Frey in 2001 and then look for this really nice guy at a charity golf day and ask him to sign his book.

H.Hodges,
October 24, 2007
I`ve spent the last two days digesting the book,and can recommend it to any Eagles fan.Very informative and interesting,from his early days growing up at home in Florida,to the very summit of musical performance and fame.this account I found to be honest,open and sincere.It is one of those books that you cannot put down,and reach the end only too quickly,but I thoroughly enjoyed it from cover to cover. I think that any level-headed,unbiased person would appreciate this read,and I find it difficult to see how anyone would be offended by it.It portrays Don as the sort of bloke I always thought he is,ie; unassuming,diplomatic and genuine,not to mention one of the most underrated guitar players of all time!! Hope others enjoy this as much as I did,thanks for a great read.

John,
October 22, 2007
Hi Don am enjoying the book, and hope you are doing well, have always admired your playing and enormous contribution to the Eagles.
Was stood beside you on stage during your sound check in Glasgow on 30 April 1977. Could not muster the nerve to say hi, could only stand and gaze in astonishment at your skill and the thrill of being so close to my guitar hero. Now I am almost fifty and have regreted it ever since.
I would like to thank you for the great music and fantastic performances you have given us, and would wish you and yours everything you wish yourselvres.
All the best
John.

With ribbon cutting ceremonies on Tuesday and an opening night last night at the new Nokia Center ( top ticket prices at $285.00 ), glory be to the Henley, the Walsh, the Frey and the Schmit. Once again they are on top of the green puffy clouds of even more $$$ on top of the allready massive green clouds of $$$ and even more $$$$$$. Somewhere else in the world is Bernie, Randy, and Don all of which too paved the way and now can’t find a gig bigger than a club room to play, or a book shelf to sell a book. Just some thoughts………………

I’ve wriiten to the publisher again in the UK to confirm this but it looks like the original (i.e. last reported) release date of 11 October has been put back to 1 November. Looks like Don will have to make a special trip to the UK to sign it

I wonder if Azoff & Co know how petty they seem trying to suppress this book. Or how stupid, as controversy only engenders interest. They get everyone simply DYING to read the book when, if they’d shrugged it off, mostly diehard fans would’ve been wild after it.
There is an excerpt from the new book up TODAY at the UK edition of Times online.

Hey, did anyone know Don’s releasing the book as a MP3! Unfortunately it’s not Don reading it. As far as I can make out this is the only version of the book available at this time in US. The print edition can only be ordered from outside The States, Amazon UK for one has it as somebody already posted.

Also, Andy’s NY Post link has moved to their archives here:

You could order from the amazon.co.uk link. They ship worldwide.
Orion, the book’s publisher, has agents in Australia. Perhaps you could ask one of them how you might obtain a copy locally.

Great photos Mary. Does the year signed by Don really say 2002?

Felderfans,

It’s not that we’re real superstitious or anything, but it’s a good thing we toted a complete change of all-weather gear for a gazillion hours over three golf courses since Thursday, otherwise we wouldn’t have been treated to the glorious sunshine and mild temperatures during this year’s Dunhill. And we knew things could only get better when apparently word spread among the announcers and Don morphed from “Don Fielder” to “Don Felder” within 24 hours.

Despite a bit of a sandstorm (caused by his own club) on the holes between the 12th and 15th tee, Don proved that those 387 holes of golf he’s played within a six-day period were good for something. He bettered his score by six strokes today out at St. Andrews, finishing 8 under par for the tournament. Good job Don! If you return next year, we know Tiger will insist on playing with you! Doc, Juan and Daniel all played well today with Daniel making the professional cut for tomorrow’s final and Juan placing in the top half of the field.

It’s a credit to Don that despite the press conferences, photo sessions, interviews, autographs, telephone calls, e-mails, dinner receptions, showers, bus rides, sound checks and musical performance he even had a chance to swing a club this week. Hang in there Don, tomorrow you’re only a 12-hour flight from home. Godspeed!

Daniel -5/61st – will play in the championship round
Juan -3/72nd
Doc -18 (we think)
Don -8

Met Don for the second time at Carnoustie on friday 5/10/07,met him at last years Dunhill Links Golf .Walked round course with his foursome for 9 holes which took 2.5 hrs. Weather was great for October in Scotland. Don as usual was very friendly and nice to talk to.All the best to Felder fans from Scotland. See you at the Dunhill next year.

Twas a beautiful, sunny Friday out on the links at Carnoustie today. The guys were the last group scheduled to tee off which meant the wake up calls were later than usual. The fairways at Carnoustie are narrow and some of the greens share two flags. We recommend helmets for spectators watching from the middle of the course.

Don fared a bit better today than yesterday. He’s played some bad golf before he admits, but he can’t remember ever losing a stroke while he slept. Apparently due to a scoring error which nobody caught after yesterday’s round, he and Doc started the day each with a stroke disadvantage. Maybe they really ought to reconsider the pencil and paper thing…..

Tomorrow the guys plan to make their big move to the front of the leaderboard on the Old Course at St. Andrew’s. It’s Golf Channel territory out there guys, so we know you’ll all be looking extra spiffy for round three!

Daniel -4/48th
Juan even par/108th
Doc -11
Don -7

Someone please post if and when anyone recieves a copy in the mail or if they are selling them in Europe. I have relatives in Italy that are checking to see if any release is taking place in that country.
This is simply so silly. It feels like we are all trying to buy drugs, instead of a book. Silly, silly boys them thar Eagles. Arrrr…….

Felderfans,

Don, Juan, Daniel Vancsik and Doc McGhee got off to an early start today out at Kingsbarns. Kingsbarns is quite scenic – a course with extremely rolling terrain running the length of the shore. We suppose if you are a player the trick is to avoid hitting the ball into any area under sea level. The day started out cool but as the round wore on temperatures warmed and everyone was high on the fact that it didn’t rain.

Don played a “modest” round (“this is the worst golf I’ve played in five years”) finishing with a stronger second nine (meaning no clubs were thrown and expletives were kept to an absolute minimum.) He hasn’t turned off his golf battery in four days so maybe it’s all just a blur to him by now.

It was also a very informative day for us non-players as we learned how the officials keep score. Believe it or not, they still do it with pencil and paper.

Anyway, tomorrow the guys test their skills against the elements out at Carnoustie. We’ll try to have a few photos from the first two days posted by tomorrow evening if we can locate a card reader.

Daniel -2/44th
Juan even par/98th
Doc -6
Don -4

Like I posted on “Stalled in the Fast Lane…” DeepDiscount informed me they are honoring pre-orders of the book

RickenbackerWayback,
October 4, 2007
I inquired of DeepDiscount whether the change of publisher and the delays would affect my pre-order status and they wrote me back to inform me that since the book is indeed being published they are honoring pre-orders for the book and taking new orders for it as well irregardless of who publishes it, what country it’s printed in or the street date. So I am hoping that all the other outlets for Don’s book are doing the same thing. Hopefully!

I love Don Felder’s work too. I still love the Eagles and I miss seeing Don on the videos. I really hoped that Felder would have reunited with the Eagles before the studio project went into production. I would like to know if we’ll be hearing anything from Felder soon? I don’t have time download video clips. Is there a link that has a schedule or upcoming events. Why doesn’t Felder put together a band to play all the Eagles songs he was apart of? Will we ever really know Don’s side of what happened between him and Henley/Frey?
By the way, it’s my understanding that Glen Frey playing the lead guitar parts on “I Can’t Tell You Why” am I wrong?

I planned on getting them at Book Soup.
I think Don should still do a signing……there are allot of fans that would simply like to wish him well and grab an autograph or two.
He could join up at the Hollywood Collectors Showcase, they have a show this weekend in Burbank.

Anybody able to catch the radio show?
If not, according to the site it’s possible to listen to a re-broadcast for the next 7 days. Anyway, here are some of Don’s remarks.
On where Don got his passion for golf:

On the coolest guys in the tournament:
“In the years I have been there I have met some of the nicest people…both professional golfers, musicians…just that gang that’s over there every year that are just remarkably kind and generous people. I have such a good time…..even though I love the golf course and I love the tournament a large part of going over and participating is to see all of of the people that I’ve met and come to know over the past five years….so it’s a real hard call to say it’s the golfers or the musicians…there are some great people from all sorts of walks of life who I’ve made friends with… it’s a big part of my interest in returning there….. it’s really all well worth the trip and the travel….and I love Scotland most of all! One of the most spectacular parts of the world to play golf in….to be able to walk those fairways…I relish it every year.”

Sure, we’d be delighted for you to “drop in”, and you give us a heads up, right. So we can send out rush invites, RSVP etc?… Oh, sure the News trucks can park out back, we can tape off the parking lot for them if we have to”

It's had the opposite effect on me. I've pre-ordered from several different sites so just in case it had been cancelled and advance copies have been sent out, then I might get one by accident !
Any how, hopefully, a few people will be getting the Felder book from me as a Christmas present this year

RickenbackerWayback,
September 27, 2007
Personally, I think BookSoup is either taking EW's word for this 'news' OR are just lying because they caved in under pressure from "the opposition" who want this event cancelled who most likely promised them 'an event' or a signing in the near future. If it was cancelled why is Don's signing date still listed on the website as well as the BookSoup MySpace? I smell something fishy in this whole deal. If the event was indeed cancelled don't you all think HE would tell us? Of course he would! What was I thinking, believing this BS?! Shame on me!!

RickenbackerWayback,

This is EW 'story' is OLD news about Hyperion cancelling the publishing deal of Don's book. On April 15th 2007 they announced the news that the book was due to publish by October. By the evening of the following day (April 16th!) the Hyperion web pages dedicated to Don & the book were GONE!
The EW story is nothing but PROPAGANDA from the "opposition" who don't want people to pre-order the book at the various outlets where it's being sold! (@ Amazon, Barnes & Noble. If people don't pre-order the book, it won't place well enough in sales to stay in print and the book will be resigned to the remainders list 6 to 8 weeks after the street date. When that happens the book goes out of print and availability goes with it. The big thing is this: if you Pre-order it, you will save $!! Time is growing short before the pre-order window closes. None of these aforementioned book dealers have issued any statements regarding this "news" nor have they stopped taking pre-orders! None of them! The fact is Don's book has a new publisher, (not Hyperion who cancelled in mid April), as well as a new cover (the cool blue CA license plate), a modified title and a new ISBN #. So go ahead and please pre-order it with confidence unless there's an OFFICIAL announcement! Don't take the word of some Internet rag like EW who probably published this "news" story in exchange for a promise of some kind of exclusive interview. This would not be the 1st time someone dished out propanganda aimed at thwarting the sales of a book about The Eagles! (Does the name Marc Eliot ring a bell?!) Go now, get out your card ready and buy Don's book! Pre-order it PLEASE!

LOL - Because when I get back to LA from Vegas on 25 October, Don will probably have left for Texas to play in the Park Cities Rotary Golf.
However, if he has one of those advance copies, maybe he could leave one for me to pick up. Dedicate it to his number 1 golfing stalker

As I sit and write this I'm listening to Hell Freezes Ove", some of the best music ever written and played, and without doubt some of the smoothest live guitar playing of all time! I know artists can be headstrong and temperamental, I have three in my family, but surely you guys have known and valued each other for so long that you could work it out! When it's all said and done, life is not about material wealth, it's about love and relationships. "The Eagles" are not the same without you and I'm sure you're not the same without them. Do this saddened fan a favour and try to patch it up! P.S. Please forward this on to Don Henley and Glen Frey

Don - I you're reading this, I'm in Vegas 17 to 24 October and LA 25 to 31 October. Arrange another book signing

My heart goes out to the family and band members and all those close to Hughie.
Again it shows that we just never know when God's going to book that ultimate gig. We can never really be prepared for it, but if we rehearse the way Hughie did then we too will play side-by-side with the Lord.
I put some of my favorite Hughie music together in a small tribute.

Weather was much cooler for the 2007 event and rain clouds did threaten but we stayed dry. Don had a handy cap this year

Joe B,

Oh yes! That's something worth having a very late night for.

What was the setlist Derrick?

Derrick,

I saw your show in Reno and thought it was terrific. With the song selections and your daughter with her contributions made a memorable show. We look forward to hearing more of her and you in the future.

Mary,

Toto, we’re not in Kansas anymore!
According to the Outlaws official site, they are planning to participate in this year’s show!
Now all we hope for is confirmation that Don’s gonna be back. If so, then the fantasy-gig-powers-that-be have truly answered my prayers!

Mary,
August 27, 2007
Doubt that will happen, Joe. Anyway, I’m coming better equipped than I did last year so it’ll cost me hopefully “just” the telephone connection!

Joe B,
August 26, 2007
Let’s hope the internet is cheaper this year!

Joe B,

The place looks lovely. Especially that phot0 where the mountain is in the background.
Looks like Don will be in Europe for a while. You’d have thunk he would have arranged some gigs

John Carpendale,
August 20, 2007
Great Site, I’m sure everyone will agree. I was at the Eagles gigs in Ireland on the Hell Freezes Over Tour. I agree with previous messages voicing opinions about Eagles being a chain linked by all the key members. Don, you were a vital part of the link, sorely missed. We are all heading in the same direction in life and there is no discriminating on that point. Why fall out and go through life like this. Give us all a lift patch up with the guys and make Hell Freeze Over a second time man. You are a true talent. God Bless.

Hotel California, Take It Easy and all the others are great, but no body plays any guitar lead with so much feeling as Don does at the end of “I Can’t Tell You Why”…Turn the lights out, light the candles and incense and grab your woman and play this over and over

Isabel,

hello from Spain!! Don Felder es el mejor, y juega genial al golf, siempre he sido admiradora de su forma de tocar la guitarra, he’s the best!! Espero que siga tocando y tenga muchos exitos!!! la pagina esta muy bien congratulations!

It’s out in the USA at the same time

I caddied for Don last week and boy was it a blast. No doubt an avid golfer, the man himself shows up lookin like a million bucks…from head to toe , equipment, you name it. I thought he was gonna be a magnificent player. I admit, he’s pretty greasy around the greens, but Don barely hits it out of his shadow. All I can say is he needs to utilize more of a full body turn to generate more clubhead speed. Either way, a great guy, and Id be honored to caddie for him anyday.

I see the book is coming out in England and Germany. What about the USA?

Wow! It’s only two months away. How did that sneak up so fast? I’ll start charging the camcorder battery

Mary,

I see he’s playin’ his favorite “penguin” strat again. I bet that axe has got more frequent flyer miles under it’s belt than any other one he’s got.

Looking good as always!

Felderfans,

Just a reminder – check out the goings on at this year’s Quaid weekend. Don is performing on Saturday night (6/9) along with Billy Burnette (Fleetwood Mac) and Stu Cook (Creedence Clearwater Revival) at the Starry Night Party and Auction at the Austin Film Studios. The golf starts today and runs through Sunday at the Onion Creek Club.

Joe B,

That’s bloody difficuilt but I did manage a hole in 1 on the first hole.

Mary,
June 6, 2007
Guess that’s why I wan’t getting any better!
By the way, the course has been re-opened….

Joe B,
June 6, 2007
Oh dear – It says “Object not found”. Guess I’m gonna have to continue on the easy one

Mary,
June 5, 2007
Looks like you haven’t lost your touch, Joe. Now how about moving on to Course #2? : P

Joe B,

My recent best is 23 which is 25 under par

HI,Don I’m heart broken to know you’re not with the,
Eagles.to me there is no longer ‘the eagles without you
how can this happen?

Thank you Yvonne!

yvonne,
April 23, 2007 I just saw that preorders are now available from ecampus.com and biggerbooks.com. (No, I’m not affiliated with either co.) Sure looking forward to reading it!

Joe B,
April 22, 2007
And to convince him to stay and do a few shows would mean that he would need a new CD to promote – Sounding good to me

Mary,
April 22, 2007
Don has a lot of fans in the UK, so perhaps he will schedule a book signing or two there even if it means returning (or staying for a while…) Maybe we can convince him to plan some shows in Europe after it’s released so he’ll have another reason to stay and you can kill two birds with one stone, Joe!

Joe B,
April 21, 2007
Can’t wait to read this one but I have one complaint for Don – Book due out in October, Don in England for golf in September – How are you going to sign my copy?

Mary,
April 8, 2007,
Hey, I made par on Course #1!!!!!! Guess I still got the magic…:)

Great site dedicated to the best all round guitar player in rock ! How about an in depth feature on Don`s gear-effects he uses,has used,along with guitars and amps ?Sure it would go down well with all the “musos” who admire Felder out there.

Joe B,
March 13, 2007
Congratulations and happy second birthday! It’s good to have a site about Don that’s up-to-date and updated on a regular basis.

Mick,
March 12, 2007
This site is fantastic, keep up the good work! Here’s hoping that very soon Don will be out there touring & reminding everyone that he’s one of the best muscians ever.

Randy,

DON FELDER is the MAN!!! and while I appreciate anybody’s great playing, there is NO OTHER DON!!! and his guitar parts ARE LEGENDARY in my favorite band’s songs and solos, THANK YOU DON for being such a great artist, I am going to piss and moan till you are with the Eagles again, ’cause your and Joe’s guitar work are what gave the band their rock sound, right now I got to work on my One of These Nights solo (it’s hard but the greatest solo ever written,imo, along with Hotel California’s.) A GREAT MUSICIAN!!! I MISS YOUR GUITAR!!! MAN!!!!!!!!!! ALOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeremy,
March 5, 2007
It’s a real shame Don is not with the Eagles anymore. Don’s chemistry with Joe Walsh was terrific and is missed in the Eagles’ current incarnation. I can’t wait to hear his new album and read his book. Does anyone know what his tour schedule looks like? It would be great if it included Cincinnati!

lester,
March 4, 2007
miss that great sound from the man and would like
to keep tabs on his latest gigs and tour plans and if
he will be coming to the uk again soon.

Joe B,

Don didn’t make the top 100. However, Joe Walsh made 68 and Billy Gibons made 23.

Thanks Mick and Joe. We don’t get that magazine around here.

Joe B,

“L&;M have the article up on their site.

Mick,
February 25, 2007
Got the 2nd to the last issue. Kind of a disappointment, the article was nothing new – just an excerpt from Marc Elliot’s book that we’ve already read. Don’s interview was the best part. Disappointing too were the photographs, only one of Don wearing the fedora from the HC shoot.

Joe B,
February 24, 2007
YIKES! Shops are closed! Shops are closed! Shops are closed!

Mary,

Be sure to give us a review! Thanks!

Fighting snow & bitter cold to go out a get that magazine. Can’t wait to read about Don.

Mick,
February 24, 2007
Good quess Mary! Those rookies!

Mick,
February 24, 2007
Is there any stringed instrument that he can’t play? What a talent!

Rob,
February 23, 2007
Hi Don!I miss hearing you play with the Eagle’s!Do you mind me asking why are you no longer playing with them?

Joe B,
February 10, 2007
Well for some reason – It’s worked. Never seen Don playing bass before!

Felderfans,

Sit tight, Joe. We’re clipping a part of it to post in the archives.

Don and the Eagles parted ways in 2001.

Joe B,

Tried it on AOL and IE on 3 different computers. Don’t know what the problem is.

Felderfans,
February 10, 2007
Have you tried it on more than one browser?

Joe B,
February 10, 2007
I have the latest version of quick time installed but I just can’t play this video. Maybe it will turn up on youtube some day.

Mary,

Say Jeremy, were you born after 1980?

Felderfans,

UPDATE: the CSN Tour of Australia and New Zealand has been postponed due to health issues affecting David Crosby. It hasn’t been revealed exactly what medical problems Crosby is having or whether it would impact the Crosby and Nash Tour which is scheduled for mid-March.

Jeremy,
February 8, 2007 shoot..frankly…Felder’s about as square as you can get as far as guitar players are concerned

Joe B,
February 5, 2007
I think one time before playing Hotel Clifornia, he didn’t put the capo on the 12-string until he got on stage!!!!

Mick,
February 5, 2007
I voted. I wonder what W&C thing he did to get himself considered W&C guitarist? He never had to rely on gimics, he let his guitar do the talking.

Joe B,
February 4, 2007
I subscribe to this magazine and I’ve voted for Don. Would be nice to see an article about him next month.

Joe B,
February 2, 2007
Sorry – I didn’t think I was playing that loudly

Mary,
January 31, 2007
Oh I get it. That wasn’t Don playing along with Walsh and Frey it was you. Nice job.

Joe B,
January 30, 2007
It’s still in the plastic bag.

Joe B,
January 30, 2007
I love the sound of the Gretsch and was surprised to find out that it was Glenn Frey putting in a fine performance. I haven’t listened to it in a long time but when I want to relax after a hectic day at work, I sometimes pick up a guitar and have a play to to relax. A few nights ago I was just strumming the chords to Try and Love Again and I realised that Helen, my wife, was singing along.
I need to have another listen to that album soon.

Mary,
January 30, 2007
Don’t forget to pack your golf shirt ……

Mary,
January 30, 2007
Yes, Try and Love Again is a great song and a wonderful Gretsch festival. Don’t know, but you think Don was playing one (uncredited) on the studio version as well?

Joe B,
January 30, 2007
I remember sitting for hors looking at the scene inside the hotel and imagining who all the people were. And also trying to work out which Eagle was Bernie Leadon!!!
One of my favourite songs on that album, and in deed by the Eagles, is Try and Love Again. I’m not sure that Randy actually performed that live with the Eagles.

Joe B,
January 29, 2007
Just heading over to a major online retailer now. I need some new stuff for Don to sign in September

Mary,

You can mail order it from major online retailers

Can you tell me why Don was not on the live CD from the Austrailian Tour in 2004. The band did not sound the same with out him. What happened.

Mary,
January 26, 2007
I remember being in my last year of high school when this song came out. It takes me back to those carefree days when you had no real responsibility other than seeing that you made it to graduation…
And where were you when Hotel California hit the radio?

Mary,
January 23, 2007
I’m now the owner of a brand spanking new copy.
It’s a very nice book, nicely illustrated, easy to read. It tells the story of the bus, it’s staff, some of the artists who’ve been on board, the technical equipment on the bus and how to put together a piece of audio/video. It also contains some stuff about John Lennon.
There are several color photos of Don, a recap of how his visit on the bus unfolded and the text of his interview (with an additional question or comment.) The book also has an accompanying DVD. On it is Don’s interview and the music video he made with the students. (It was nice to be able to see it a bit bigger and not so dark!)
