Search - Don Henley :: One of These Nights

Don't waste your time (and money)...

"First off, I am a big Henley fan and, for a live CD, the audio is pretty decent on this release (although there are a few sound drop-outs throughout the CD). However, this is basically a re-release of a bootleg CD of the '93 benefit concert in Boston. I'm sure Mr. Henley isn't making a cent off this release (not that he really needs the money at this point in his life). Anyway, the reason I only give this one star is that the tracks were shuffled from the original order they were played. Normally not a huge deal, but when they keep the song intros on the end of the preceding track and then shuffle the songs, you get intros for each song that are just plain wrong. For example, did you know that Bob Dylan and Danny O'Keefe wrote "Desperado" or that "Sunset Grill" was released in 1975?
***BZZZZT*** I think not...
How hard would have been to leave a bootleg CD in its original running order!?!?!

Don Henley - One of These Mysteries

"Again, I am looking at this site for info to purchase a new CD, but there is none. I have looked at this site many times ready to purchase a hot new release, but have found no info on the CD. I am hoping that this isn't an interview CD, as it has been out there as a coming release for some time with no info about the CD. Please, if you want someone to purchase the CD, you need to put something, anything out there about it. I guess it's just One of These Mysteries."

I heard this is the Walden Woods benefit concert (c. 1992)

"According to one of the unofficial Eagle's fan sites, this is a quality bootleg of the Labor Day / Walden Woods benefit concert from the early 90's. If that's true, this is from the third summer of the "End of the Innocence" tour. I think this is the same show that was broadcast on King Biscuit Flower Hour or one of those radio shows (it's been quite a while since I've heard it). Again, if this is the same show, Jimmy Buffet makes a cameo appearance with Don. Of course, since there is no song listing here we don't know if Volcano and Marguritaville (sp?) made the disc. This might also include new songs that made their debut during this leg of the tour like "Well, well, well" - which have yet to surface on any official Henley release. Key word here is "might".However, until I can determine if any of this is true, I won't risk my money on this. And if I'm wrong, remember all the disclaimor's (if, might, etc.) above."
