According to this article Timothy is a bit under the weather right now.. They even cut one of his songs last night! It's a good thing he's got a month off to get better.

The Eagles - Amway Arena - Januaury 31, 2009

Set List: How Long / Too Busy Being Fabulous / I Don’t Want To Hear Anymore / Guilty Of The Crime / Hotel California / Peaceful Easy Feeling / I Can't Tell You Why / Witchy Woman / Lyin' Eyes / Boys of Summer / In the City / Long Run / No More Walks In The Woods / Waiting in the Weeds / No More Cloudy Days / Take It To The Limit / Long Road Out of Eden / Somebody / Walk Away / One Of These Nights / Life’s Been Good / Dirty Laundry / Funk 49 / Heartache Tonight / Life in the Fast Lane / Take It Easy / Desperado

The Eagles delivered last night at Orlando’s Amway Arena before a sold out crowd.
Dressed in suits the core quartet — Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit — performed new songs, old epic rock tracks, country-tinged ballads and everything in between.
Over the course of the night the band selected nine tracks from the band's Grammy-nominated Long Road Out of Eden CD and actually opened the nearly three-hour show with four new tracks. It had been 28 years since The Eagles' last studio album, and it has been nominated for a Grammy – a fact that Glenn Frey mentioned several times during the set. I actually found that I enjoyed the new songs much more than the old hits. "How Long" kicked off the set, proving to the audience that "Eden" carries at least a little of the breezy, road-trip atmosphere of the Eagles classic "Take It Easy." The bouncy "Busy Being Fabulous" followed. Frey then greeted the audience and told them to check their ticket stubs, a nod to the concert's official title: the "Assisted Living Tour". This banter continued throughout the show as Frey poked fun at the band's age.
Joe Walsh's "Guilty of the Crime" - the last of the opening new 4 songs flat our rocked. Later during the second set more "Eden" tracks were played with the title track easily being the highlight of them - and perhaps the best song all evening!
A single red spotlight on the trumpet player introduced "Hotel California," and as the audience cheer grew into a singalong it became clear the fans came out to hear the classics. But nobody comes to an Eagles concert expecting anything different.
Frey’s tracks "Peaceful Easy Feeling", "Lyin' Eyes", "Take It Easy" all sounded great. Exceptional backing all evening came from a 13-member band that included three keyboardists, a horn section, an extra drummer and two piano players.
Henley's material, "Boys of Summer", "The Long Run" and "Dirty Laundry" is still the Eagles' toughest stuff, although I would rather have heard some more Eagles tracks than the solo hits. Walsh's prankish behavior was pretty tamed (except for the video cam cap) but not his fingers: Walk Away earned one of the night's loudest cheers; In the City, Life's Been Good and of course his licks on Hotel California are as tasty as ever. Schmit's voice was weak but still pretty smooth on "I Can't Tell You Why". But he was visibly not feeling the greatest for the show – and one of his tracks was actually cut from the set.
Overall, the 27-song set list and three and a half hour length (there was an intermission that lasted about 20 minutes) seemed to satisfy the sold-out audience, proving the Eagles still have what it takes to soar.

Some of the wording in that review is the same as the last review posted for Tampa. :-x Check it out:

The St. Pete Times Forum went from pitch black darkness to a fully lit stage Thursday night, with Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Glenn Frey (http://www2.tbo.com/topic/k/glenn-frey/) and Timothy B. Schmit standing in perfect horizontal formation. They performed new songs, old epic rock (http://www2.tbo.com/topic/k/epic-rock/) tracks, country-tinged ballads and everything in between.
It had been 28 years since The Eagles' last studio album, and even though 2007's "Long Road Out of Eden" was nominated for a Grammy, it lacks luster compared with, say, 1976's "Hotel California."
"How Long" kicked off the set, proving to the audience that "Eden" carries at least a little of the breezy, road-trip atmosphere of the Eagles classic "Take It Easy."
Frey greeted the audience and told them to check their ticket stubs, a nod to the concert's official title: the "Assisted Living Tour". This banter continued throughout the show as Frey poked fun at the band's age and at how fast he wrote "Lying Eyes," claiming he did everything fast back in the day.
Exceptional backing all evening came from a 13-member band that included three keyboardists, a horn section, an extra drummer and two piano players. A single red spotlight on the trumpet player (http://www2.tbo.com/topic/k/trumpet-player/) introduced "Hotel California," and as the audience cheer grew into a singalong (http://www2.tbo.com/topic/k/singalong/) it became clear the fans came out to hear the classics. But nobody comes to an Eagles concert (http://www2.tbo.com/topic/k/eagles-concert/) expecting anything different.
Henley got his moments to shine, picking up the pace a bit with "Boys of Summer" and "The Long Run." Just as things got kicking, the guys took an intermission that lasted about 20 minutes. The second half of the performance started off mellow, but the melancholy wasn't all bad. "Take It To The Limit" and "Love Will Keep Us Alive" were inspired and polished.
The standout song was also the longest of the night, title track "Long Road Out of Eden," capturing everything the band has produced over the years and wrapping into one song. Overall, the 28-song set list seemed to satisfy the nearly sold-out audience, proving the Eagles still have what it takes.

I hope Timmy is feeling better soon as well. As for the review...... While ok in content, there must be enough Eagles fans in Florida to be able to produce an original one!

We also have a temporarily unemployed freelance writer (and, coincidentally, a huge Eagles fan) who would be more than happy to write an original review!

That's right DF, ( and maybe you wouldn't mind working in Florida!)

OMG-Timmy's under the weather! I must be off to... wherever he is... he needs me! Jean and I can nurse him back to health and get him ready for March!
That's what happens when you are gone from this board for a few days... you come back and find out that your Eagle needs you and you weren't there! :ack:
