How is it that these ancient rock stars have 20 year old hair? Just asking...
Last week there were a bunch of notifications that Spotify now offers what looks like the whole catalog of Eagles music - or at least all the well known tracks.
Being of that 70's vintage, I don't remember being very focused on the Eagles... they were just always there on the album rock stations I would typically listen to. Even though I had multiple chances to see them live, I never did. Better to save my money for the next time Jethro Tull, Black Sabbath, Elvis Costello, The Cars or (I hate to admit) Kiss came to town.
But as I revisit many of the Eagles hits, I'm struck with how many I can sing privately along with. Last winter my buddy Craig borrowed me his DVD of the The Eagles - Farewell 1 Tour - Live From Melbourne
Here's my John's Eagles to use playlist of future Eagles tracks I intend to use in the future. It includes;
- Eagles — I Can't Tell You Why which is an awesome cool down or complete recovery between big efforts.
- Eagles — In The City I loved the movie; The Warriors and it's a powerful 80 rpm FTP flat.
- Eagles — Hotel California everyone's used this fabulous 74 rpm 6 1/2 minute climb at some point in their teaching career - have you?
- Eagles — Life In The Fast Lane fits perfectly after Hotel California for a fast descent at over 100 rpm.
I've got a women in a Wednesday class I've been subbing for the last month. She walks in 10 minutes late, with her hands covering her ears, complaining about the music volume. I don't normally play my class very loud, but today I just may with Eagles — Victim Of Love cued up and ready for her to waltz in 🙂
