It's a LOOOONG shot, but does anyone by ANY chance know what the set list was when JB appeared with the Eagles at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu on September 30, 1979?

I wish I knew, SGH. I was actually LIVING in Honolulu at that time, and a friend of mine went to that show. He also doesn't remember the set list, but said Jimmy only preformed for a short while, and only did about 15 or so songs.

Wow that would be an awesome show. I'm living in the wrong place at the wrong time.

at that point, he didn't have too awfully many more than 15 to sing....Wino you know wrote:I wish I knew, SGH. I was actually LIVING in Honolulu at that time, and a friend of mine went to that show.

do you know if he sang with Eagles as backup, or with the CRB as it was at the time?

I wish I could help you on this one! 
The funny part is that I have a friend was into The Eagles, and went to the Eagles show with Buffett opening somewhere around here that same year. He's told me almost note for note what the Eagles played, but doesn't remember much about Jimmy except that he had a lot more hair than he does now.

According to this poster, he was a SPECIAL guest!
It says nothing about Reefers.

Sorry to say I don't know the answer to that either, SGH.SchoolGirlHeart wrote:at that point, he didn't have too awfully many more than 15 to sing....

I actually didn't see him at all until October of 1987, which, by then his career had been flying high for some time.
I'm still trying to find a set list from THAT show. So much for the first concert being the most memorable.

Did find another site selling this poster for $200

I didn't know this either:
The Long Run (1979)
After a lay-off of more than two years and a change of bass players, the Eagles put out this anally produced, thoroughly modern sendoff, and mercifully called it quits - until a recent reunion tour that had many of us wondering how we even survived the 70s in the first place. Like the previous record, this is so packed with hits that there's almost no point in listening to it, because you've already heard it a million times on the radio. That goes for the good-timey title track; new Eagle Tim Schmit's screechy, mushy "I Can't Tell You Why"; and Joe Walsh's slickly grooving rocker "In The City" - which are merely the first three songs. After that, there's one number after another in the poor-little-me 70s hedonist whine-a-thon mode of "Hotel California" ("The Disco Strangler," etc.), and then another terrible chugging rock number that used to make me run from the room screaming whenever it came on, but somehow hit #1 anyway ("Heartache Tonight" - unbearable torture right now). The "talk box" infested radio hit "Those Shoes" does score some points for its freaky guitar solo, despite the typically whiny lyrics. But you know a record's cheese factor is too high when Jimmy Buffett drops by to sing backups on a silly 50s romp ("The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks"). (JA)
