Mostly Bernie,although Al Perkins played on "Ol' 55".I did see part of a post "Hell Freezes Over" TV special where Don Felder was playing steel,but I don't remember the tune.Saw them live 4 times between '74-'79 but there wasn't a steel onstage any of those times.

It was the live video of "The Girl From Yesterday" where you could see Don Felder playing steel. He played a Sho-Bud steel in the video

Don was not using picks on "The Girl From Yesterday". Joe Walsh blew me away with the turnaround on that song though. Simple, but beautiful.

MSA Millennium, Legend, and Studio Pro, Reese's restored Universal Direction guitar, as well as some older MSAs, several amps, new and old, and a Kemper Powerhead that I am really liking. Recently added a Zum D10, a Mullen RP, and a restored blue Rose, named the "Blue Bird" to the herd. Also, I have acquired and restored the plexiglass D10 MSA Classic again that was built as a demo in the early '70s. I also added a '74 lacquer P/P, with wood necks.
