Back to Reality

Well, the Glenn Frey Prelude to Obscurity tour is pretty much over, except for one more private show. So, all the shows formerly under "upcoming shows" have now been moved to the Prelude to Obscurity 2006 Tour Page. Also, Glenn did a new song during the shows that he said might be on the new Eagles album - if they ever get it finished. It's called I Love to Watch a Woman Dance and as you can see, I went ahead and gave it a page on the site. I also added a photo I took at the Mt. Pleasant concert. (And I must add - what terrific shows. If he ever tours again, I'm there.)

As for the downloads of the moment: Take It Easy from last year's Casino Rama show, and a video of Take It to the Limit from Tokyo 1986.

Frey Sightings:

• A film critic uses Smuggler's Blues to critique - what else? - the new Miami Vice movie on filmcritic.com
• The Eagles made the Forbes Celebrity 100. Who's surprised?

Time to Party

Since we're getting some long-awaited Frey solo shows this week and the next, I am putting up some thematically appropriate downloads: Heartache Tonight from last year's Casino Rama show, and a video of Partytown from Dublin 1992. Any town with a Frey show is partytown, if you ask me.

And yes, I am going to as many of these suckers as I can. Check out the top of the homepage for a link to purchase tickets. See you there!

Downloads updated

I once again forgot to announce the update before taking off on a trip (this time to Florida to visit family.) So I hopped on a computer and am doing it from the hotel. On the multimedia download page, you'll see the Doolin-Dalton Desperado Reprise from Seattle 1976 (completing last week's download) and an MP3 of The One You Love from Tokyo 1992.

Just a little over a week until the Frey solo shows!

Happy Independence Day!

Just saw the fireworks. Makes me feel like putting on some patriotic Frey c. 1985! Better in the USA (Live)!

MEGA - update!

A lot of stuff to update now that I'm back! First, put up some photos from the Twickenham concert by the husband of a girl who goes by "WitchyMummy"and some I took myself - mine are the digital camera ones that aren't as good. I also put up a photo I took at Cardiff, more as a momento than anything else, as it isn't the best quality!

Also, the multimedia downloads for this week: Long Hot Summer from Devon, PA 1993 (a nod to my recent trip to Devon, England!) and a video of Doolin-Dalton from Seattle 1976. That one's a bit dark, but I like the song, so there you go. It cuts off mid-way; we'll get the other half, the Reprise, next week.

P.S. Wanted to add - the Eagles rocked the UK.

And - on a personal note - welcome to the world, my new nephew Austin William, who was born while I was away!

Frey Sightings

• From Rock Radio: "Eagles Say New CD Out Next Year"
• Frey called one of the "top 10 athletes in the history of Tunkhannock sports" (!) in this article from the New Age Examiner - scroll down to the paragraph above the bolded "Trivia"
• A couple Frey mentions in LA Weekly's discussion of the Laurel Canyon book
• Am I the only one surprised that a new album came out called "The Best of Miami Vice"? Wasn't there already one of those? Maybe it's something to do with the remake movie.
• The News and Star has an article about the band
• TimesOnline reviews the Twickenham concert
