Live, for some reason, Timothy never gets it quite right. Randy did better:
Bermie Leadon apparently hated "that Bee Gees number".
Don Felder came extremely handy for the Eagles with his arrangement and guitar skills. He might not have been the most prolific songwriter (but Hotel California is largely his), but he sure made himself useful with a lot of other things. I only realized relatively late that a lot of solos I had attributed to Joe Walsh were actually his. Like here, the two solos towards the end, I always thought Joe took the first one and Don the second, but it's the other way around, Don is the player with more "bite", not Joe. The iconic harmony guitar arrangement at the end is also his.
And I really do like in this version that you can sometimes hear that the other Don is drumming and singing, it gives his vocals a rhythmic emphasis in places otherwise lost when he is upfront playing guitar to it. And I don't care what people say, I think the sound of the Eagles has a hell of a lot to do with his drumming.
