Happy (belated) Towel Day! To celebrate here's a rare-ish recording of The Eagles performing the Hitchhiker's theme live in Boston, 1975. The song originally appeared on the One of These Nights album and was written by Bernie Leadon. I was originally planning on actually uploading this on Towel Day, but unforeseen difficulties in the rendering process nixed that. Instead, here it is on the day after Towel Day. Better late than never, I guess. I had lofty ambitions to sync the track up to some hoopy space footage, but I soon realized it would just come off as a cheap knock -off of this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rOMGIbY-9s), so I decided against it. Please know that I am uploading this purely as a Hitchhiker's fan, not as an Eagles fan, so please don't expect any other Eagles-related uploads. By the way, I plan on uploading more Douglas Adams and Hitchhiker's-related stuff in the near-ish future (though I wanna do some more isolated tracks vids, first). So stay tuned, if you like that kind of stuff!
