Happy Independence Day!

Hope all the Americans had a Happy Independence Day! I'd meant to do this update earlier, but it was time to see the fireworks and I had to save it for when I got back. However, belatedly, I'd encourage you to listen to a live version of Better in the USA to enhance those patriotic feelings!

Now, as I've posted before, I got a bit backed up on updates for GFO. As a result, I've got a huge amount to dump on you now. Here goes:

Multimedia downloads: an MP3 of Chug All Night from Lenox in 1974 and a video of Lyin' Eyes from Seattle 1976, in honor of the song winning the One Of These Nights Survivor game.

Wallpapers: three wallpapers by Maleah.

MP3s: I finally got a Japanese copy of Strange Weather and added a MP3 of the studio version of Ain't It Love to the Fun Stuff Downloads (Great song!)

Photos: new photos can be found in the One of These Nights gallery, the Hotel California gallery, the Long Run gallery, the Allnighter gallery, the Soul Searchin' gallery, the Strange Weather gallery, the South of Sunset gallery, the late nineties gallery, the millennium gallery, the Farewell 1 First Legs era, and the Farewell 1 Last Legs era.

Golf pages: more screen shots have been added to the Pebble Beach 2007 page.

Tour pages: I've made a page for the recent Starkey Benefit, including photos, and added material to the Irvine 1982 show, the Revlon 2004 Benefit, the Lupus LA 2006 Benefit, and the Las Vegas Cannery Show in 2004 (including a review by Mag.)

Frey sightings:

• It has been reported by sites such as Undercover that Don Henley has announced that the Eagles album will be out on October 30. However, when a spokesman for Henley was asked about it, he had no comment on the matter. Make of that what you will. I think we can at least have cautious optimism.

Starkey Benefit Photos

I know I've been terribly lax with updates - got a lot of projects going on at the moment - but I plan to do a mega-update soon. Until then, here's a link to some WireImage photos from the benefit.

Frey Appearing at Starkey Hearing Benefit

Glenn Frey is billed as a "special guest" appearing at the June 23rd Awards Gala for the Starkey Hearing Foundation in St. Paul, Minnesota at the RiverCentre. It's a benefit organized to raise money for hearing aids for the underprivileged as well as health research and education. Get more information on EarthTimes.org or make donations/reservations using The Starkey Heading Foundation's official site. (Individual seats are $1250.)

Downloads - finally

Finally got the downloads rotated - the MP3 is Lyin' Eyes from Long Beach 1980 and the video is Livin' Right from Dublin 1992. Watching Glenn Frey get down and get funky in the latter might give you a lift - it helped me momentarily get my mind off of the fact that I have writer's block on my dissertation and that the little I have managed to write sucks.

• Lots of press regarding the recent Tiger Woods Benefit. There are mentions in Yahoo! Finance, Golf Digest, Noticias.info, and the OC Register. The press has also been added to the Tiger Woods Benefit page.

Forgotten Frey Sighting - Party of Two at Tiger Woods Benefit

I announced this a while back, but now that it's actually about to happen, I almost forgot to put it under "Frey Sightings." Glenn Frey and Joe Walsh will be playing at a Tiger Woods benefit this Saturday (Oct. 7) in Anaheim, California. No more tickets available though!

Download Rotation and New Information

Glenn Frey and Joe Walsh will be playing at another Tiger Woods benefit on October 7! It's in Anaheim, California. According to a recent news release, tickets start at $750. Find out more information on the official Tiger Woods Foundation Site or call (714) 816-1806.

More and more press is coming out about the new Eagles album thanks to Joe and Billboard.com. "The first half of next year" as a probable release time sounds good to me!

Now, for site updates. Barbara attended the Frey private show in Milwaukee and wrote a great review of it. Going back a little further, Jay sent in a few comments on a Party of Two show he saw back in 1993 in Hyannis, Massachusetts.

I also added some comments by Frey on On the Border to the song page in Quotable Frey, and a new Fun Fact that Frey was voted "Most Likely to Inhale" at Dondero High School. Of course, the sitemap has been updated for all this stuff!

Can't forget the downloads for this week - an MP3 of The One You Love from the Del Mar Fair in 1985 and a video of Take It Easy from Japan in 1995.

• Frey's comments on hybrids at the Michigan show didn't come out of the blue. As this 2003 article states, he and his wife Cindy have been involved with Laurie David's anti-SUV (and other environmentally harmful vehicles) crusade for a while now. Thanks to SS for the link.
• Miami Vice's incorporation of music such as Smuggler's Blues is blamed for popularizing the marketing of music through television programs in this article in the Age
• This article in the Denver Post asks why the Eagles' Greatest Hits is the best-selling album of all time

Desperado on a Sea Cruise; Fighting Lupus

I put up the last of the videos Julie sent me, Glenn doing Desperado at the Brisbane World Expo in 1988. She did the lovely screen shot as well. Once again, my thanks. Also, this week we get an MP3 of the Eagles doing Sea Cruise at Long Beach in 1980. So that's where Glenn got the idea from! All of these are on the Multimedia Download Page.

Frey Sightings

• Glenn performed at a benefit for Lupus LA last Thursday.

Tour Archive Additions

Found some more information about a couple benefits Glenn did for the National Science Center's Fort Discovery for Kids and his appearance at Earthfest in 1998. I added them to the Benefit page on the Solo Tour Archive.
