| I saw the Eagles last night and one played a black psg D-10, also six string. Anyone know his name?? I didn't see the psg from the front, so I don't know the make. |

| Don Felder played some steel and I've seen him on video with them. Don plays with bare fingers and plays fairly simple stuff but gets a good sound and plays in Tune. |

I think that would have been the Don Felders replacement Steurt Smith. He seems to be a great guitar player - but no one can replace Felder.

| Is that the same Stuart Smith who played with Rodney Crowell and Rosanne Cash. If so he is indeed a hot picker. |

At one time, Bernie Leadon played steel for the Eagles.

I love Steuart Smith's playing. I saw him live here at the Hampton Coliseum some years ago with Roseanne Cash. When they did "Seven Year Ache" he did the steel parts on his six string. Also, he plays guitar with a thumb pick "like you're supposed to!"
On the latest Eagles DVD they do a version of "Peaceful Easy Feeling" and when the guitar break comes, Steuart plays the Bernie Leadon B-Bender break with manual bends and right in tune. He didn't need a bender at all........JH in Va.

Bernie Leadon played steel on "My Man"..On The Border.Al Perkins Ol'55.Steuart Smith plays every Eagle's solo so close to the original,He's really incredible.

Holy cow - when I saw the topic
"The Eagles" - Steel Guitarist
I automatically thought of the Philadelphia "Eagles" and I played steel in Philadelphia from 1976 to 1989 so the two terms drew my attention - get it ??
I thought I was a star for a second !! LOL
Just kidding - really.
How about those Eagles !! 
Who Dat !!! |

They actually had one on a song they did for the "Hell Freezes Over" record called "The Girl From Yesterday", and in the video, I believe the steel looked like a Sho-Bud.

| I know that Greg Leisz played steel on the most recent record. Steuart co-produced the CD and also co-wrote a lot of the songs so even if they don't include him in pictures as a "member" he's doing just fine! And live he's right up front with the other 4 singing and playing most of the guitar solos, with the other "hired gun" musicians more in the back. I just saw the first part of an Eagles show at a festival this year and I don't think he's playing steel; nobody's answered the question yet of who's doubling on guitar and steel on the current tour(?). |

Way back when, the Eagles had the hit "Best of My Love" with some really nice steel playing in it. Anybody know who played on that one? Bernie Leadon?

Don Felder played steel on Girls of yesterday and before that it was Bernie Leadon until he quit in 1975.
Lineup: Glenn Frey (rhythm guitar, vocals), Don Henley (drums, lead vocals), Bernie Leadon (lead guitar, pedal steel guitar, banjo), Randy Meisner (bass, vocals). Don Felder (lead guitar,pedal steel guitar ) added, 1974. Leadon quit, replaced by Joe Walsh (slide guitar, lead guitar, vocals), 1975. Meisner quit, 1977, replaced by Poco's Tim Schmit (bass, vocals).

| I think you'll find that Al Perkins played steel on some of the first three albums. |

| Actually, now I think about it, I'e only seen Al's name credited on the rear of the original LP of the Eagles 'On The Border' Lp. |
