I love this album, great songs, great sounds, great singing, and great playing.
Don't know a damn thing about it, but I've always loved it.
I heard a story once that Henley wasn't thrilled with one of Walsh's guitar parts and he told Joe he wanted him to take a few more swipes at it. Joe, who thought the part was fine said he would give it a few more tries, but he wanted everybody out of the control room/studio while he did the additional takes.
Once everybody else was in the lounge, Joe had the engineer pipe his existing take out to the studio and control room speakers. They played the existing take 4 or 5 times. Henley finally came in from the lounge, (he could hear the guitar through the walls) and said, "that's the one, that's a keeper".
Don't know if it's true or not, but it always made me smile.
