Love Will Keep Us Alive The Eagles Acoustic Cover w/ Harmonica

"Love Will Keep Us Alive", is the title of a song written by Jim Capaldi, Paul Carrack, and Peter Vale. It was performed first by the Eagles in 1994, during their "Hell Freezes Over" reunion tour. It was sung by bassist Timothy B. Schmit.
According to some of the liner notes in the booklet to their 2003 greatest hits CD, this song was written when Carrack and Schmit were supposedly going to make a band during the late eighties or early nineties. Carrack wrote that song for the planned group but it was never done. So Schmit used the song for the Eagles' reunion album. This song was also recorded by Cappaldi and Dave Mason on the 40,000 Headman tour and live album.
Although the song was never formally released as a single and did not reach the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the US, it did spend three weeks at #1 on the Billboard adult contemporary chart in early 1995[1] and was #22 on Billboard's Hot 100 Airplay chart. In the United Kingdom, "Love Will Keep Us Alive" peaked at #52 on the UK Singles Chart.[2]
Aside from being on the album Hell Freezes Over, the song can be found on the Eagles' box set, Selected Works 1972-1999 and on the 2003 compilation album, The Very Best of Eagles.
The song also appears on Paul Carrack's 2006 compilation album "Greatest Hits - The Story So Far". [Wikipedia]
