Steely Dan referenced the Eagle in "Everything You Did". (Turn up the Eagles, the neighbors are listening.)

The Eagles returned the favor with "They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast".

Van Morrison remembered "Reet Petite". And the whole thing was great!

I love this homage to three country legends, couched in a lament of how modern country fails to measure up:

They sound tired but they don't sound Haggard
They've got money but they don't have Cash
They got Junior but they don't have Hank

Marshall Tucker Band doing "24 Hours at a Time" live back in 1974. Tommy Caldwell introduces Charlie Daniels at the very beginning of the song. In those days, Charlie was not famous person he would become in later years, he was trying to gain traction, as the Tucker boys were. This live version is simply incredible, one of the finest uptempo road driving songs I know of:

Singing "Bye Bye Love" while he's racking up his free plays

I had no idea they'd made a movie out of Shadows and Light. Been listening to the album for 40 years; it's great to see that all-star band in action. I wish Jaco could have kept it together.

Jaco had so many troubles. And then he got killed in a bar fight after being thrown out of a Santana show in South Florida. What a waste. 36 years old.
