The one band Don Henley saw as the Eagles’ biggest rivals: “That competitive spirit”
Both sides of rootsy rock and roll.

The ridiculous side of rock and roll.
The prog-rock icons Angus Young couldn’t stand: “Boring”
More about the spectacle than entertainment.
The 1970s band Eric Clapton thought he would not match again: “Dead and buried”
Finding his footing again.
The 2005 gig Roger Waters would do all over again: “I’d like to do more of it”
Getting that nostalgic feeling.
The 1980s band Tom Petty would have played with in a heartbeat: “We thought we had time”
Never losing that spark.
The 1980s singer Don Henley called the best country vocalist: “One of the greatest”
The most natural voice you could get.
The 1983 album Neil Young called his greatest work: “One of my best records”
The beautiful side of cringey.
