THE EAGLES facts/info/trivia:
They started out as Linda Ronstadt's backup band in 1971.
Their Greatest Hits album is the best selling album of all time (or is it Thriller?).
They were the first band to charge over $100 for arena shows. They did it on their 1994 Hell Freezes Over tour, and when fans paid the price, other acts like The Rolling Stones followed suit.
Henley and Frey fired Felder from the Eagles company, Eagles Ltd., in 2001. Felder sued them for wrongful termination.
They sued the American Eagle Foundation, a charity dedicated to saving the birds, for using the domain name eagles.org and the phone number 1-800-2EAGLES. The case was dismissed when the band couldn't make court appearances.
Their concert in 2001 was the first event ever at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. Good tickets were reselling for about $1,500.
Frey was in a short-lived TV show called South of Sunset. It was canceled after one episode.
Henley was in a band called Shiloh, which recorded an album produced by Kenny Rogers. Recording for the same record label was Longbranch Pennywhistle, a band featuring Frey and J.D. Souther, who would later co-write many Eagles songs.
Leadon was in many groups before the Eagles, including Hearts and Flowers, the Dillard-Clark Expedition, and the Flying Burrito Brothers.
Although The Eagles are usually identified with the West Coast music scene, only Schmidt was born in California.
Walsh can be seen as a prisoner in the final scene of the movie The Blues Brothers.
When Henley married Sharon Summerall in 1995, performers at the wedding included Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Sting, Jackson Browne, John Fogerty, and Sheryl Crow.
Bernie Leadon went on to form RUN C&W, a band that plays Motown in a Bluegrass Style. They released two albums.
Joe Walsh was asked to join in 1976 when Bernie Leadon left. He had previously played in the hard rock band The James Gang who had released four albums, two of which went gold. He added a harder edge to the Eagles' sound and helped write the hits "Hotel California" and "The Long Run."
Meisner was in the group Poco before joining the Eagles. Poco replaced Randy with Timothy B. Schmidt, who replaced Randy when he left the Eagles.
The Eagles got back together after the Country tribute album A Common Thread sold very well. Travis Tritt said he would sing a song on the album only if some members of the Eagles sang back up. After they saw how popular they still where, they reunited.
They have never done an endorsement deal or let their music be used for commercial use.

Sherwood Tiki Pool Bar, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida: James Graff playing his Takamine 12 string acoustic/electric guitar on "Peaceful Easy Feeling" by the Eagles - one of many requests. He takes requests all night and everyone sings and claps along...or doesn't. Always a great time!

  • Great voice, Jamie! I just watched your video where you were playing "Italian Restaurant" at an outdoor barbecue and could have killed that dart-throwing jerk who kept getting in the way! And the nerve of all of them who were talking while you were playing. Whatever you charge, you should charge more.

  • Hey! Thanks! You really are way, way too kind. And thanks for the sympathy and the sentiment - but those jerks at the Tiki Pool bar are the customers who come out to support live music by buying food and drinks...and paying to play darts, I guess, too. Anyway, these days I play entirely for charity so...yeah, I should charge more! Thanks for commenting!

  • 12 strings and a great voice.

  • Hi, even though graffjamie Channel is closed by now the song has lots of views as well as controversy, he can really sing even though the song is played at a slower tempo but that's besides the point, what I'm saying is if the crowd's there for all the reasons except listening to the singer what’s the use trying to play there? None, I’d go elsewhere to play and save me the trouble with the noisy audience, they’re obviously to busy talking and drinking to even care whose at the mic.

    thanks

  • Great version James, love the vocals and guitar tone, inspires me to keep practising

  • I'm checking out Eagles covers uploaded 2 utube.

    They're one of my faves...not bad.

  • great voice - he is very talented. Would like see more of this guy. Any suggestions,? could not search for more videos

  • Verry Very Nice! Too bad the audience dosen't appreciate the talen and just listen as was already said. I sang with a band in the 60's and 70's and we sang Eagles and they were constantly requested...Great Job! Keep singing.....The Captain.....

  • You're not bad, but get the speed up, it's awfull to listen to like this!

  • actually don henley isnt the lead singer of this song glen frey is

  • I agree with you that hes good all around. But ya gotta realize that hes playing in a bar.. the bar pays the performer to play. the people that go to a bar go there to drink and socialize. I guess all im trying to say is that u are expecting too much from people if u think they should shut up and listen to some random guy play at a bar. ya know what im sayin? Most of the people there didnt go there to listen to music, and couldnt care less whos playing.. jukebox or person. : )
