Those Lucky Pharmacists!

The Party of Two (Glenn Frey and Joe Walsh) will be doing a private show for the National Association of Chain Drug Stores on April 24, according to their website.

More updates

I switched the downloads again - this week, the video is Take It Easy from Central Park (1972) and the audio is Smuggler's Blues from Yokohama, Japan (1995).

I created a new page detailing the compilations Frey songs have appeared on. Before I compiled this information, I had no idea the Heat Is On had been on so many of those things - it even managed to get included on "Movie's Greatest Love Songs" (?!)

I added information on a few more guest appearances, including the Jake Trout and the Flounders CD where Frey actually appeared on a little video that was on the enhanced CD as well as on an interview snippet. He even sang a verse of the parody entitled Struggler's Blues. I included snippets for download.

I also added details on a few more corporate shows Frey has done, including his concert for the State Farm convention in Las Vegas in September (great photos!) and a Hawaiian Party of Two show from 2005 (more photos)!

Amgen Summerfest 2005 and Downloads Updated

Added another show to the Solo Tour Database - the Amgen Summerfest 2005 show he did the July before last. Lots of photos! And since the Farewell 1 Era Photo Page got so big, I've now divided it into "Farewell 1 - First Legs" and "Farewell 1 - Last Legs" (hehe). For the downloads, I put up a video version of one of the Take It Easys from last week - Seattle 1976 (warning: dark picture). The MP3 is You Belong to the City from the Casino Rama show in 2005. Great outro!

• Two mentions of the Frey show for SMACNA on Oct. 11. The SMACNA Newsletter has a snippet and a photo. This article in the Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration News is more of a commentary, but it discusses the show.
• The Eagles are on the VH1 Classic show "Class of 1977" which is playing today, Nov. 12 and tomorrow, Nov. 13 at 5:00 pm Eastern.

Happy Birthday to Glenn Frey!

Well, it's the big day - November 6. Glenn Frey turns 58! Here's a little graphic I made. I also added a quite a few photos for the occasion to the galleries, mostly courtesy of K.C. I'll let you go through those yourself and check those out - there's too many to link to! I'll be adding some more stuff throughout the day. So let's start celebrating!

• Check out this photo of little Glenn celebrating his birthday in 1950
• See this clip of JD Souther wishing Glenn a happy birthday in 1976
• In case you think Glenn is getting up there, watch this clip of Glenn from Expedition Earth putting age into "geological time" perspective
• Download the latest wallpaper (it has a GFO theme, since this is also the site's birthday)
• For message board frequenters, check out the twelve new avatars
• Listen to the now-complete "Take It Easy" series of downloads

I added a page for the recent Tiger Woods "OC Block Party" benefit to the Frey Solo Tour Archive. I also updated the multimedia downloads - this week, it's a MP3 of Take It to the Limit from the Ken Salazar Fundraiser in 2004 and a video of True Love from San Diego in 1992.

Cool water running through the burning sand

Some new additions to the site - thanks to timfan's help with screenshots (and giving me the DVD in the first place), I have created a few pages for the Hole in the World DVD single. Also, new downloads: How Long from Berkeley 1973 and a video of You Belong to the City from Mountain View, 1994. (Big file, but such a great performance.)

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

Back from Pebble Beach - HOLY CRAP - and downloads

Well guys, I got back from Pebble Beach and I have to say that Glenn Frey is an awesome guy. He signed my Longbranch Pennywhistle album, gave me a signed golf ball, and was just really kind to me and my friend the whole time we were there (see photos of my goodies here). It's a long story that I posted in detail on Flip City, but suffice it to say he is definitely worthy of our fandom! While I didn't get a photo with him, here are some professional ones. And he was only two strokes off of the cut!

Also, put up new downloads on the multimedia page: my favorite live version of Peaceful Easy Feeling from the second night of the Hell Freezes Over taping, and a video of Outlaw Man from Seattle 1976
