A Taste of Don Felder Live

I stumbled upon this on a recent search - a video showing clips of Felder performing live interspersed with interview segments. It is basically an ad for him as a corporate event act, but his fans should enjoy it, as it shows clips of him not only singing Hotel California but also Victim of Love, Life in the Fast Lane, Take It Easy, Those Shoes, and Already Gone.

You can find it here.

For the curious, you can read more here. It states that an average Felder Band setlist is as follows:

Bid on chance to meet Don Felder

The Guitar Center Music Foundation, a charity to fund music programs which Felder has supported often, is now offering several items for bid - one of which is a chance to meet Don Felder.

The description from the site is as follows:

Don Felder Book Experience

The lucky winning bidder of this auction package will receive a Don Felder meet and greet experience that will take place in Hollywood, CA, on a date between February 2 and 13, 2009. The exact date and time of the meet and greet will be coordinated on a mutually convenient date with both the winning bidder and Don during this timeframe.

The experience will also include a signed copy of his recently published book about his time with the Eagles titled “Heaven and Hell: My Life in the Eagles (1974-2001).” This experience will include the opportunity to either just sit down and talk with Don during your meet and greet; or, just like he did with young Tom Petty, you can choose to have Don give you a one-on-one guitar lesson.

This is the ultimate gift for the biggest Eagles fan or to purchase for yourself. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and an experience you will never forget!

You can bid on the item here.
