Damn. He was one of my favorite Age 14 artists ("Smugglers Blues", "The Heat Is On"). RIP

There's a write-up on the Eagles FB page.

That was me calling Webster to reminisce about seeing them in Cincinnati in '79 and requesting Seven Bridges Road.

I'm rather surprised to see that they did a solid 2 hours of nonstop Eagles/Frey, since they really don't play them outside of 10@10 (unlike Bowie, who still shows up in regular rotay). And I guess Bowie provided the precedent -- they did 4 hours of him last Monday morning. I have to assume we'll get a Frye/Eagles 10@10 tomorrow.

I'm wondering what they'll do - obviously AL can focus on the Frey-heavy Eagles tunes, but as far as his solo work goes, it mostly leaned AC/Pop (not that that's necessarily bad). I have to think "Smugglers Blues" will make an appearance.

"Heat is on" has made multiple appearances (in the Morey era) and AL has played "Smuggler's" once; apparently the rest of his solo hits are MIA. But I'd expect the set to be Eagles-heavy.

If this spate of dying musicians continues they are going to have to call a moratorium on memorial sets. I now understand why DM
sat said "we don't do death on 10@10." A rule he only deviated from twice that I can recall: for George Harrison and Maurice Gibb. AL has done many more, but up until recently they weren't warranted but a couple times a year.

I think today's set worked as a nice compromise. Acknowledge the artist, but don't dwell on it. Particularly in the case of Frey, who, fine singer that he was, probably didn't really merit a full set.

I was just thinking on this, as I expect we will see more rather fewer such sad occasions. For example, Grace Slick turns 77 in October & Bob Dylan turns 75 in May (which should occasion a set for it's own sake). In June, Paul McCartney turns 74 two days before Brian Wilson does, and a day later Ray Davies turns 72. Ringo turns 76 and Mick turns 73 in July, with Keith also turning 73 before the end of the year. Clapton, Townshend & Van Morrison all turn 71 this spring.
And Chuck Berry's 90th birthday is October.
