Walsh, who is known for being a hell-raiser and hotel-room wrecker in his younger days, was all business. Henley sang while playing drums - no mean feat at 25, let alone 75, his age - and his sandy voice has stood the test of time just like the famous tune he sang.Īlso notable were the guitars, which add even more punch to the song.
