  • When was this live version recorded? So good..

  • Sorry everybody! The song is wonderful and I am just too vocal about Cars and Amercia!! No harm meant and I will stick to comments about music on here!

  • I love the Eagles and this take on the Waits classic. I do still prefer Waits' pronunciation as Lickety-splickly better though.

  • Like Poco, The Eagles will never be equealled. Just a part of our history that will never happen again, just like them gas guzzling cars. We were just lucky to be a part of it.

  • Good Lord. How did this get political? This is a song written by Tom Waits and recorded on his album Closing Time in 1973 (a year before The Eagles released On the Border). Listen to his "Storytellers" show from the Burbank Airport in 1999, and you'll realize this song isn't about any of the thing you all are reading into it...

  • My uncle was a avid Eagles fan. This is one of the many he was good with keeping up with them. He had a all Fisher stereo system that was rated at about 400 watts. At full throttle, both He and the stereo, would sound like he was a member of the band. He would be pissed at the slide show being its not his brand of car...but he would honor these guys with a little back-up vocals. Miss you, Duke! 1960-2006. The coffee is always on!

  • @faintofhearts86 this is from their New Year's Eve 1999 Show

  • @shirtlessman I agree. You've got me by 2 years, I'm 59 sneaking up on 60. I like the music and didn't come here to get into a political debate, but the blame Bush rant pissed me off so I let off a little steam too. I'm over it and still like The Egales, but I'm tired of hearing all the Union and 0bama crap.

  • @zote12

    How about me? I was in High school----------I'll be 61. Believe it or not some people come on here to listen to the music, and some come on here to blow off steam---it's safer for them here then say the VFW or the Legion. Here is a good song that you should listen to the words------Get Over It by the Eagles------- lot of truth in those words

  • @shirtlessman I was in Jr. High in 66 how about you? I didn't start the UAW rant; castellonsuzanne did, I just responded to political post championing her hero 0bama. Learn how to read a thread...dude.
