On New Year’s Eve 2015 December 31st Don Felder, the former
guitarist from the Eagles is performing live at Desperados Restaurant &
Cantina. Felder joins a long list of rock stars who are being seen regularly in
Los Cabos (Kiss, U2 etc) and his show is sure to sell out quickly.
Felder joined the Eagles in 1974 playing slide guitar to
their song "Good Day in Hell". The following day he was invited to
join the band. On the band's fourth album, “One of These Nights”, Felder arranged
the title track's distinctive guitar solo and bass line. Together with Joe
Walsh as dual guitar leads they became one of rock music's most memorable
on-stage partnerships.
Felder wrote the music for the song “Hotel California”,
which became a major international bestseller and arguably the best known Eagle’s
song of all time and is a song close to the hearts of many who come to the Baja.
For a live MTV performance, "Hotel California" was
rearranged into an acoustic version and Felder kicked off the set by performing
it with a new, flamenco-style intro he composed the day before.
Felder performed with all current and former Eagles band
members the hits "Take It Easy" and "Hotel California" at
the band's 1998 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in New York City.
He continued as a member of the Eagles through the year 2000.
Felder has also made session appearances on albums by
artists as diverse as Diana Ross, Barbra Streisand, and Andy Gibb and also
contributed guitar work to Stevie Nicks' first two solo albums.
