It’s a bit of a mutt alright..!

What do you like about it?

My old one, about 10 years ago. It's a beaut.

I absolutely concur.

I suspect they don't give a monkey's.

I'm getting studio on both..!

I've not had this happen to me on Apple Music. When I play the original mix of the Brown Album, it just skips Cripple Creek... it doesn't substitute it...?

Strange.. I find the opposite (see example above).

No probs. It’s a much nicer mix than the original, too.

Looks like a licensing blip. It’s all present and correct on the 2019 reissue. https://music.apple.com/gb/album/the-band-deluxe-edition-remixed-2019/1481114206

Thanks! Yep, Hotel California is a lesson in restraint. It’s a long pattern, and if you deviate it jumps right out.

Cheers, all! I’ve never rehearsed so much for anything in my life. I grew up with The Eagles in my DNA. I thought I knew all the ins-and-outs of all the arrangements, but when it came to it… turns out I was wrong. There’s so many little details and surprises hidden away in those songs. We’re lucky in that we’re blessed with a great Don & Glen, and everyone in the band is great crack. It’s good fun.

Meant to post this earlier but forgot... A while ago I joined a newly-formed Eagles tribute with a lovely, talented bunch of lads. Months of rehearsals and a handful of gigs later, we're really starting to settle in to it. Here's a couple of clips from a gig in my home village the other weekend. Gear-wise, it's the usual for me. Handbox R-400, TKS 212 cab.... and the Maruszczyk Jake PJ to cover Randy's P tone in the early days, and Tim's Jazz tone from the Kong Run era. Eventually I'll probably switch between an actual P and J. I'm new to this IEM lark, and I'm still getting used to it. We have lots of refining to do. We don't run a silent stage, 'cos we like amps. 🙂

A product of its time, I think.

On which one?

Interesting bit of trivia about that song - it has no rhymes in it.

That cover is by Yes.

^^^ I rest my case

The problem with the cover is not just that it isn’t very good - it’s actually embarrassing and will probably put people off. And - in the voice of Liz Truss - that’s a shame.

I highly doubt any marketing committee are this inept. This screams 'Homemade by Jon's daughter'... which it is.

That cover, though 🤮
