Don Henley - VH-1 Storytellers, Hollywood Center Studios, Los Angeles, CA, 2-19-2000

The "VH-1 Storytellers" flood is almost at an end, with just one more album after this. This is an episode featuring singer-songwriter Don Henley.

We're lucky that this appears to be another double episode. On YouTube, and with most bootlegs, one can only find the first half of this. Perhaps that was all that was actually aired. But I luckily found more, which sounds like material edited down to a second episode. I believe I even removed one comment Henley made about halfway through that was an intro to the second episode (and didn't make sense when listening to all the music together).

The episode took place three months prior to the release of the studio album "Inside Job." It was Henley's first solo album in eleven years. Despite that long break, it sold over a million copies in the U.S. (He's never been that prolific. It would take him 15 years to release his next studio album.)

Henley performed four songs from his "Inside Job" album: "Taking You Home," "Workin' It," "Everything Is Different Now," and "For My Wedding."

Henley had his greatest success in the 1970s as a member of the Eagles. But it seems that by this point in his music career, he was tired of his Eagles songs. He only performed two of them here, "Life in the Fast Lane" and "Desperado." Even then, "Life in the Fast Lane" was drastically rearranged into more of a rap song. The other songs he played were generally solo hits from the 1980s.

This album is an hour and 19 minutes long.
