I thought I'd start a thread to discuss the tour at large for those comments that aren't specific to certain dates.

I recently posted (http://www.dve.com/event_portal/view/calendar/event.html?event_id=292747) that the tour will include hits from their solo catalogues as well. I know that many people here were hoping that a History tour would not include those. I, of course, can't imagine an Eagles concert without them, so I'm happy.

I also recently posted a blurb that said there would a DVD/Tickets bundle through Ticketmaster. It that's true, it would explain why it's taking Ticketmaster so long to put up the page.

Lastly, VIP Nation answered my tweet and said they hope to release VIP ticket prices later today.

Is VIP Nation what most of you guys do? Just trying to figure out everything since I'm FINALLY going to get to see a full band show.

VIP Nation sells tickets for front row, rows 2-10, and rows 11-20. Usually includes a dinner. For the last few concerts, front row was $895 per seat, 2-10 $695, and 11-20 $495. The front row seats were higher in Atlantic City, and may change for this tour. You do not know your exact seat location until you pick up your tickets the night of the concert, and they are non-transferrable (you must show ID to get them). These seats are offered through the AmEx presale and general public sales, first ones in get the better seats.

We don't know for sure, but they usually offer Official Platinum. At venues not named MGM Grand, these are usually good seats offered at a better price than VIP. They do not include dinner and are transferrable. However, they can only be bought in pairs, and lately, have not been offered for sale during a presale.

Regular priced seats will be like you found for Fleetwood Mac. It will be difficult to get a really good seat at face value. These tickets recently for the Eagles have been $225. Not sure what they'll be for this tour.

I will say that at some of these newer arenas, at least ones built for hockey, it's difficult to get a bad seat. At Verizon Center in DC, I sat five rows from the ceiling for a hockey game and could still see the numbers on the jerseys and the expressions on the players faces. Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh is even better.

I'm thrilled that they have anounced another tour, but I, too, was hoping for a History tour. Budget-wise I wish the tickets were on sale a bit later on. If I can swing going to one of the concerts I am looking at either Mansfield, MA or Ottawa, ON.

At least this reinforces my decision not to order the "Deluxe" HotE package!

I have several to choose from...I can do Toronto, Cleveland, or Pittsburgh pretty easily...but have no one to go with...no one here is going to pay "Eagle money" for a ticket...except me that is...
maybe there will be another leg of the tour later in the year?

Not sure what you mean about the history tour? It is called the History of the Eagles Tour.

I can relate about the tickets being on sale so soon. I've wanted them to put some time between the announcement and the shows, but this is an announcement of dates (and not prices), on sale two days later, then waiting 3.5 to 4 months for the shows! But, 99% of the people going to shows, it's obvious which show they'll go to and so no need to 'plan'.

On the band's website it says that one of the songs played will be New Kid In Town. I don't believe that.

As for 'solo songs' I guess it will be the same stuff, yet again. Apart from NKIT there is no mention of any extensive setlist changes.

I'm thinking I might do a show or two solo when they come to Chicago. I love my husband but he isn't much fun to go to a show with. I would love to do the Milwaukee show but it's the same weekend as my baby's 1st birthday.

The concerts are months away and Glenn has only recently returned from Australia and NZ. I'd be surprised if they knew what the setlist was going to be.

I personally hope they bring back LWKUA - I like it a lot and Tim definitely means more than one song. As far as Tim doing one of his solo songs, it is doubtful, but nothing is impossible. The band's philosophy about the setlist is that they like to play the hits because they believe that is what their fans want to hear. And I agree that is true with the majority of their audiences - only us hardcores want to hear lesser known tracks. I'm also one that doesn't mind the solo songs, especially from Joe. If they do what they normally do, there will be some changes in the setlist since its a new tour, but I'll be really shocked if they make a huge number of changes especially in the second set. My guess is that maybe 25% of the setlist will change based on past tours. I, for one, would love for them to bring back New Kid In Town.

In recent interviews, Glenn was still talking about going in order and bringing back some old ones.

03-21-2013, 08:15 PM
So, of the prices listed so far, and with fees varying by venue, the ticket prices are a wee bit less than in the past year or so. In some cases that's really about $3. In others it's more. They just posted VIP prices for the three venues that go on presale on Saturday, and while the front row is the same, $895, rows 2-10 are now $625 (they were $695) and rows 11-20 are $400 (they were $495 or $450, depending).

This makes me feel good that Official Platinum, if they offer it, will be reasonably priced as well.

03-21-2013, 08:37 PM
I don't know! HH and I were talking about that and wondering. I'm betting the answer is 'no' with the possible exception of the Salmon festival, if they do that. However, we are betting they do more dates in Sept, it's just a question of where. Come back to the East Coast? Go somewhere else and then come back to the East Coast later? Seems like they'd have to do NYC, and then there's the entire southern part that's been left out. All speculation, of course.

Ive always been a dreamer
03-21-2013, 08:51 PM
See I'd guess that they probably will announce more dates if their past trends hold up. They tend to release some initial dates, then a little while later if the initial sales boom for the first shows goes well, then they ususally add more shows. But it's all just a guess. I do agree that even if there are no more summer dates, then they will do some more shows in the fall. I think the only thing that would cause them not to continue booking shows is if ticket sales are really poor, and that's not really likely.

Leaving for Vegas tomorrow. Have seen two of the last 4 shows there and the wife and I have a blast. So nice to not have to drive home. You just walk out and go to your room if you want. Hoping Bernie may show but I doubt it. As a bonus we just saw the Cleveland and Pittsburg shows in July announced. 3 shows in 4 months will be sweet.

Have a great time and let us know how it goes! Personally, I don't think it will be the 'new' and revamped setlist. The picture advertising the show is still the old one! Just my inexpert opinion. Still, they might talk about the tour and give more details.

Hoping I can ask some advice from the experts here regarding the upcoming ticket sales.

Have any of you ever done an Amex Presale for the Eagles and if so, do you think the seats are ok? I thought I read here that someone did not think that Amex has great presale seats. I've done Amex Broadway presales with mixed results. Some really good, some not so great. And I've had some good experiences with other credit card presales. Sometimes they are lousy, but for the 12/12/12 show at MSG, we got decent seats in the cheapest level from the Chase presale. Seats we would have never even had a sniff of during the public onsale.

Also, do they "drop" (release) seats in the days leading up to the show, or are you better off just buying at the onsale? For Springsteen, I only do GA, but if I had to do a seat, I would generally never buy a seat at the onsale because most of the time the best seats are held back to thwart the scalpers. So I'm trying to figure out whether to just buy what I can get at the Philly onsale, or wait it out if the seats are really not great, and hope they drop better ones closer to the date of the show. We plan on getting the seats in the $200 range, so I'm hoping that we might have a better shot at actually obtaining tickets than if we were trying for the cheapest seats.

Thanks in advance for any advice! Sorry if it's too many questions :)

VAisForEagleLovers
03-21-2013, 09:39 PM
NYCFan, I've had mixed results with the AmEx presale. This one lasts for several days instead of two days, so maybe it'll be better? Or maybe not.

Unsold VIP drop just short of a week before the show. Some here have had good luck having that happen and winging it. The other thing to try is to wait until a few days before the show and see if the resells on StubHub drop in price, they usually do.

It's all a crapshoot in my opinion!

NYC Fan
03-21-2013, 09:42 PM
Thanks so much!

VIP is way beyond what I can spend, unless I have a temporary bout of insanity, so I'll just have to see what comes up with Amex and then maybe take my chance in the public onsale if the Amex seats aren't good. I appreciate the answer! I'm so looking forward to seeing them again. It's been far, far too long.

Grey Sadler

Probably not...no ticket $$$, and at least 2 school-related obligations/workshops this summer. Knoxville, Greenville, even Roanoke might work for me...I'd even whoop it down to Savannah/Augusta and stay with my dad if they were gonna be there, he's a big fan too!!

03-21-2013, 10:49 PM
NYC Fan - I'm one of those fans who doesn't want to pay the prices for VIP or broker tickets, but I also like to get really good seats. For me, I like to spend my "Eagles" budget on seeing more shows and I certainly don't want to go into debt to see them at my age. Therefore, I usually wait and take my chances that good tickets will drop shortly before the shows and I've had pretty good luck with that. I have even gone to the shows without a ticket and taken my chances on getting last minute unused comp seats. It is risky, but it's a risk I'm willing to take. As I said, more often than not, it's worked out pretty well for me. And if I don't fare as well as I'd like, I'm okay with that because I've had my fair share of awesome seats and figure I will again. I did ILAA one time, and may do it one more time for this tour, but otherwise, I'll continue to take my chances. I think each of us just has to figure out what works best for them. If you really want the peace of mind of a guaranteed front row seat, then I say VIP is the way to go.

There might be more dates in the summer, if their past track record is anything to go by. They'd usually release a few dates, then a few more, then a few more, etc. Of course, nothing is guaranteed.

Thanks for starting this thread VA, as its appropriate for any of us who want to comment generally on the tour.
Unfortunately I won't be able to make any of the July dates as it is slap bang in the middle of my exam correction season. Also I would be hopeful that at some stage they might consider revisiting Europe, though I know that could easily be next summer (as in 2014). I'll bide my time, and think of all of you that do go.....

Thanks so much! That is very helpful. I definitely don't need to be in the very front, but decent side seats would be nice. I wondered if they held back good seats for a drop, as I don't know what their ticketing polices are. And with the VIP seats, I wasn't sure if they drop the unsold ones nearer to the day of the show, if they are still very high priced, or if they go back down to the regular top price level. So this is all very enlightening! What is ILAA? Sorry if that's a dumb question...

Not to bring Springsteen into this again, but since I know how his ticket sales work, those are always a reference point for me for other band's ticket sales policies. And it sounds like, you have had some great luck holding out for good seats to drop for their shows. With Bruce, I've had some pretty spectacular luck on the days of the shows getting amazing seats (before he did GA or when he has done his solo/Seeger Session tours). You have to have nerves of steel, but it can pay off. I told my dad a story about a friend of mine and I being ticketless in the parking lot once 15 minutes before a show started that we had flown to get to, and how we ended up in the front row, and he equated it to playing Texas Hold 'em :)

I appreciate the advice from experience! It's always really helpful to hear how other bands work and how their fans get the good seats.

I definitely appreciate the advice as well. I just can't justify the VIP prices when I'm getting far more for far less with Fleetwood Mac. I'll try Amex and then maybe hope for drop.

Eagle-eyed HH noticed something this morning that in all my tiredness I completely missed last night when posting VIP ticket prices. For the three that have pre-sales tomorrow (DC, Philly, and Mansfield), the VIP seats go on sale TODAY at 10am Eastern.

The public sale for VIP for these three begins Tuesday, Mar. 26.

Thanks, HH, I would have cried if I would have missed this today!

Soooooo..... where to start.... oh yeah..... EAGLES IN CLEVELAND OHIO ON MY 50TH BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!! :laugh:

Don't actually know what's going to happen at this point in July. So this will be a wait and see for me. IF I can get a decent seat for that show, I just might make to road trip but with it being on a Tuesday instead of a weekend, it would have to be a REALLY GOOD seat.

Then there's the whole setlist thing. I haven't read any of the stuff regarding the tour and what the setlist includes yet (it sounds like VA has it posted somewhere and I shall go find it) but if it's basically the same as it ever was, that will play a factor in my decision also.

As for solo works in the setlist, that makes me think it's going to be basically the same as usual. I mean if they include those, how are they going to add new songs like NKIT without eliminating other Eagles hits that we also like. I was hoping they'd do an EAGLES show by eliminating solo stuff and adding songs like NKIT, AG, etc.... *sigh* And I'd be willing to wager a front row ticket that when they say "solo work" we again are talking Joe, Don and possibly a Glenn song but Timothy will be left out again. I hope I'm wrong but I just don't see it happening.

This is only my impression and opinion.

They’ve also hinted that they’d like to include former members of the band, and recently Don Henley revealed in an interview that Bernie Leadon – the guitar architect of songs like “Already Gone” and “Witchy Woman” – is the only person they’d consider bringing back into the fold (so Don Felder and Randy Meisner won’t be making the trip). Sources say those negotiations are going quite well, so watch for a tour unlike any other in the band’s history.

I hope I'm wrong but I just don't see it happening.

This is only my impression and opinion.

As I mentioned above, I'm betting they have no idea what the set list will be yet, they're probably still working on it. Not sure how much of Don's solo stuff will be included, or if Glenn's will be included, or Timothy's, but given how much attention was put on Joe's solo stuff in Part 1 of the movie (before they broke up) it doesn't surprise me at all that his would be included. In fact, while it was never said by any of them in the movie or elsewhere, I would bet that one of the deciding factors of bringing Joe on board to begin was so they could include some of those songs in their setlist every night and not just when he did a 'guest appearance'. That's purely speculation on my part. If even a tiny part of that is true, then I'd say they have no intention of dropping them. Plus, Joe's songs are so much a part of their history, they've been playing some of them on stage since 1975.

So, TBF, I had front row seats for the Eagles in Vegas for my 50th! It was the best birthday gift I've ever given myself!

This is all so exciting and I'm so hoping they add more dates soon! Surely they will.

I also hope they will change up the setlist some and add some deep tracks as they have alluded to. How can it be a History of the Eagles if they leave it the same as it's been lately? I guess we will see!

Good luck to all of you striving for tickets!

Glenn has said they're going back to three hours! I'd do it if I were you, for sure!

I remember that but my point is that they will have to eliminate something even from the 3 hour setlist in order to add songs that should of been there all along in my opinion. I would rather see them eliminate the solo songs to get songs like NKIT or AG, etc... than to eliminate other Eagles hits. But again, just my opinion and there are a lot of people here that want to see the solo stuff in an Eagles show. It's not that I don't love Boys Of Summer, Life's Been Good or the other many Joe & Don solo songs but when they play those songs, they are taking up space that could be used for some great Eagles hits or deep tracks that would be awesome to have in or back in the setlist.

Yes, it's all a compromise and obviously, they'll never make everyone happy. But think of it this way...50th birthday, sitting right in front of Timothy...listening to those amazing voices... I don't know about you, but for me, the alternative was to be with a big group of friends and family reminding me how old I am and singing about it with glee.

As I mentioned above, I'm betting they have no idea what the set list will be yet, they're probably still working on it. Not sure how much of Don's solo stuff will be included, or if Glenn's will be included, or Timothy's, but given how much attention was put on Joe's solo stuff in Part 1 of the movie (before they broke up) it doesn't surprise me at all that his would be included. In fact, while it was never said by any of them in the movie or elsewhere, I would bet that one of the deciding factors of bringing Joe on board to begin was so they could include some of those songs in their setlist every night and not just when he did a 'guest appearance'. That's purely speculation on my part. If even a tiny part of that is true, then I'd say they have no intention of dropping them. Plus, Joe's songs are so much a part of their history, they've been playing some of them on stage since 1975.

So, TBF, I had front row seats for the Eagles in Vegas for my 50th! It was the best birthday gift I've ever given myself!

They have already paid a huge amount of attention to Joe's solo work & it doesn't need to be emphasised again. For a History of the Eagles tour it should be Eagles songs. This includes LROOE songs that were so unceremoniously dropped. We all got the point about the solo material on the last couple of tours. Let's have something different.

The difference in opinion here comes from the fact that I consider Joe's older solo songs to BE Eagles songs. I would scream in frustration if they were removed. I'm obviously not the only one that feels this way. I look at them like an adopted child, when they took on Joe, they took on the songs.

Topkat
03-22-2013, 05:16 PM
My feeling is that this could possibly be the last big tour. If you don't get to see them now, who knows when or IF they will do another major tour!
They can't please everyone as to the set list, but I'm sure in a 3 hour show you will get a lot of great stuff.... If there is some solo stuff in there, so be it. And what about the possibility of seeing Bernie make a guest appearance??? Nothing definite said yet about it, but it has already been put out there that it may happen?

I can handle the Joe solo songs because they have always done them in the Eagles and they were before the break up. Don's came after the break up.

Freypower
03-22-2013, 06:25 PM
I don't have a problem with them but they have been played so often. Why not do something different? Or if they have to do solo songs, different solo songs? I suppose RMW & LBG are untouchable but the others.... get rid of Walk Away & bring back Turn To Stone. Get rid of Funk #49 & do something out of the box like Rosewood Bitters or Help Me Through The Night or even something from Analog Man. Shake it up, for heaven's sake. It doesn't matter to me as I won't be there, but any setlist that is identical to what they have been doing will influence whether or not I see them if they come down here.

Yes, I agree. I mean, I don't mind hearing Don's solo songs in Eagles shows, but I'd prefer to hear some oldies-but-goodies. I've only seen Don's solo show once, this past Feb, and after just seeing the Eagles in December, I have to say, his solo songs sound better when the Eagles do them. Maybe it's all in my head.

I'll repeat what I said in an earlier post with regard to the band's philosophy about set lists - they are going to play the hits because that's what they believe the majority of their audiences want to hear and that includes solo songs. They say themselves that they get tired of playing those songs, but they do it because their audiences want to hear them and I believe they are correct about that. I'm sure they'd like to perform lots of new stuff, but I don't think they'd sell the tickets they do if they didn't play what their audiences demand. They'll probably throw in a few deep tracks, but I wouldn't expect too many. JMHO

If they never test out the audience how will they ever know if the audience would like to hear different songs?

I am not saying they shouldn't play the hits. I am saying that it would not hurt them occasionally to shake it up a bit.

Ive always been a dreamer
03-22-2013, 07:06 PM
Well I guess it's semantics, but in their mind if they change the order of some songs and change 6 - 8 songs, then they consider that 'shaking it up a bit'. They are probably willing to take a few more chances in their solo shows than they are Eagles shows because they are playing to a lot less people who are either hardcores or folks that aren't all that familiar with their solo work anyway. Honestly, I think over their 40+ year careers they have a lot more experience at testing their audiences than we do. I trust their judgment more than I trust my own.

Freypower

I'm sorry, but in my opinion just dropping the LROOE songs & shortening the show isn't shaking it up.

Obviously this is a minority opinion.

sodascouts
03-22-2013, 08:01 PM
I would like it to be just Eagles songs although I do understand why they include Joe's solo stuff because the crowd loves them. The crowd also loves Don's solo but I think they'd love other Eagles hits even more.

As for the band always knowing best about what pleases their audience... anybody remember how they wore those business suits at every show for like two years even though 99.9% of the audience hated them?

Topkat
03-22-2013, 08:11 PM
Well, if they are going from a 2 hour show to a 3 hour show, that would have to add about 11 or so songs to the set list. They will be doing more than just switching up 6 to 8 songs. Until the first show is played, we won't know the set list, but I am not really expecting many deep tracks...They seem to stick to the hits & that's what has worked for them all these years & they will probably include many of the same solo songs we have been hearing....There will be a few songs that we haven't heard in a long time, & I am hoping that they will add some of LROOE, because most of that album has been entirely dropped! I bet they haven't even figured it out yet.

Let me preface this with this would be MY VERY FIRST EAGLES GIG!

I just don't know what to do. I am seriously wanting to go to the Bethel, NY or even the Mohegan Sun, CT show (if i have to travel anyway), because I don't want to miss my opportunity to see them. And those venues are pretty small compared to MSG.
That said, I was hoping they'd have a NYC show. (hopefully at the Beacon which is a pretty intimate venue for a band like them.) I really would rather just see them here in NYC because I could go to the show alone, and wouldn't have to pay for a hotel room. My boyfriend really doesn't want to spend the money on the ticket (he doesn't love them like I do), and if i travel to the shows, he has to come with me. He says I should pay for his ticket if I want him to go, but I can't really afford that :(
The other option is he goes with me, but doesn't go to the concert, just drops me off. but that's kinda messed up..what would he do while i'm in the concert? so I'm not sure this is a real option.

Do you guys think it would be wise to hold out for a NYC date?

If they do announce a NYC show before Monday (when they go on presale for me), can someone Please send me an email to my actual email (I have that option available in my Border profile) to make sure I know? haha Thanks in advance!

In my inexpert opinion, they will do NYC and probably at JD's MSG. I think it would be a different tour leg, like in the fall, and so not announced anytime soon. But again, that's just my opinion.

I don't doubt that! I will eventually. I need to get more driving in. Living in the city, we don't actually drive the car that much..I move it 3 times a week myself for alternate side parking. NYC drivers are aggressive assholes so the actual drive on the roads leading out of the city is really daunting especially when you don't know how to get where your going without looking at GPS.

Hey all, I got two emails tonight, both from LiveNation. One was for the show here in DC and the other for the show in Pittsburgh (I have both venues 'favorited').

The email for Pittsburgh said there was a LiveNation presale that begins tomorrow morning. AmEx not required. The email for DC did NOT say this, so it's obviously not all the shows. It's my guess, but I don't know, that any venue that currently has the interactive map available might have this presale tomorrow. Due to volume, don't count on the interactive maps being there in the morning, so check now.

The presale code is on Livenation's 'help'. There are two and I only remember SWOON. I'm listening to hockey while writing testcases, so I don't have time now to go back and look again at the second one.

I'm pretty sure you have to wait until you get there. I've never gotten the Fan package that doesn't include dinner, so I assume you don't get your tickets like the others. They will send you an email telling you where to go and what to do, but don't hesitate to call them now and get more information on how the Fan package works.

It's a matter of opinion but Don's songs sound just as good if not better when he does them solo. They were not designed to be Eagles songs. Layering on Eagles harmonies makes them different, but I wouldn't say better. Even I question the decision to include them when Don sings lead on so many great Eagles songs. I can see why they include Joe's because he doesn't have many Eagles leads, but Don has plenty.

Does anybody have a pretty big "fest" like Summerfest in Sep or Oct that might be a safe bet? I've noticed they are playing a combo of indoor & outdoor venues. For example, Pittsburgh has the Post Gazette Pavilion but is playing at Consol Energy Center. Climate is a big thing, so I think the indoor venues are becoming more in vogue since Reba wanted indoor venues bc of the voice...so they could show anywhere at any time, IMO...

By '$895' seats, I assume you mean from VIP Nation? You don't get to meet the band, but I will say that VIP Nation sells front row packages for other bands that include backstage passes, where you may meet the band but it's unlikely. However, for the Eagles, it doesn't include backstage passes, and you definitely don't meet the band.

The dinners include a raffle where you can get some free merchandise, that's the only thing I can think of that may be included that's not listed.

For each package type, you don't know what seats you're getting until the night of the event. The ones who get into VIP Nation first are the ones who get the best seats. If you're one of the last ones, you could be in a section other than the middle section, and that's especially true of the front row package.

Curious to know when they'll announce the "ex-band member" joining the tour, if it is indeed happening.

Don mentioned it a few times but Glenn seemed rather evasive about it. If anyone, I would think it would be Bernie Leadon, which would be great for those early hits... (And he seemed to inspire the least amount if ire from Glenn and Don in the documentary when his exit was mentioned. Glenn even sort of laughed about the beer incident!)

I wondered about it, too. I think if it happens it would be Bernie- I get the feeling things are still too raw for it to be Don Felder and with Randy's health I can't see it being him at all.

I'm guessing they're still deciding. If they do James Gang songs (and I hope they do), then Bernie might play with them. He played those songs with them when they did them when Joe 'guested' before Bernie left.

I was thinking, while Bernie might only be on stage for the songs they did while he was with the band, he could 'return' and do How Long with them, since they did How Long with Bernie, they just didn't record it.

with a chronological show that will include both acoustic and full-on electric segments.

"There'll be part of the show that doesn't involve me, but I may come out and play some James Gang stuff as part of the show just to show what I was doing when 'Witchy Woman' came out," he notes. "We don't have that down yet."


Hmmm.... this interest me--- so if Joe will be off the stage through the early part of the show because he wasn't with the band, will Timothy also and not come out at all till the Long Run stuff? And if so, who's playing Joe's parts now? Bernie? And who's going to be doing base during this part of the show? :headscratch: So many questions!! :spin:

That will be awesome if Bernie comes back! But I would prefer to have Randy & Don back too. If it's the History of the Eagles tour, why would they not include everyone who was part of their history? Aside from Randy's recent health problems, he would have probably done it. I just feel like if they can't include everyone, don't include just one of them.

VAisForEagleLovers
04-10-2013, 09:08 AM
I believe Randy's health issues are on-going, and I don't believe he's sung in public in many years. As for Felder, as long as he continues to take pot-shots at the band through the media, they'd never be able to work with him. The guys don't need the stress and as for the fans, most of the shows announced so far are either sold out or very nearly so. The paying fans apparently don't care who won't be on the stage, but I agree, having all seven would be a great thing.

It's a box that is used to transport concert equipment. Glenn mentioned in the doc and I know it was mentioned somewhere else as well that before Joe joined the band he would come on stage for a song or two. They would wheel him out in a road box and he would jump out like a girl would jump out of a giant cake.

I didn't mean to sound presumptuous or that I knew something the rest of you didn't. But the laws of probability indicate to me that given Randy's health they are not suddenly going to get another bass player for the early material. I just cannot take this 'history' stuff this literally. I think the 'discussion' relates to other issues. I don't know how they can leave Tim out. It just is not practical because they don't have another bass player, whereas they will have Bernie before Joe.

I also have a problem with the James Gang being incorporated into this. It is supposed to be a history of the Eagles. The Eagles have done the James Gang songs. I don't know why Joe's career should have a separate part in this show when I think it's a safe bet there won't be any Poco songs. Unless that is also 'under discussion' but frankly, I doubt it. I know Joe had his own career. Can't he celebrate that at solo shows?

Did the Eagles do Poco songs in the early days? Or even ever? I look at it this way, they've done Walk Away and RMW for longer than they've done Hotel California, supposedly (according to some) their claim to fame and their iconic song. I realize I'm prejudiced because I love both RMW and WA, and I'm also remembering hearing both in Joe's recent solo shows and knowing the Eagles play it far better than he does solo. I guess I just consider them Eagles songs and they miss something significant when done solo. While the same is true of Don's solo songs (the Eagles performing them better than Don solo) I don't have quite the same feelings for those. They are even putting RMW on the bonus DVD from the 1977 concert and intended to even back then. It's why they did those eight songs, out of their usual order that night, then came back out later to do the other songs. At the time and now they obviously consider those songs part of their history, and a part they want to recognize. Like I said before, they're like adopted children.

ETA: I get what you're saying, FP and even understand why you feel the way you do. I just have a different opinion.

Freypower
04-11-2013, 07:27 PM
I understand both sides of this as well & no, they never did Poco songs except for Keep On Tryin'. My point I guess that this could be an oportunity to celebrate the band rather than continuing to rely on extraneous material no matter how well they play it or how long they've played it.

I didn't mean it to sound as if I thought others were not 'getting it' & if you thought it sounded like that I apologise.

I said that I can't take the history aspect that literally & I meant it. We know that Randy & Felder won't be there & therefore it will not really be attempting to recreate 'how it was'.

I don't know what it's going to be like but I really am not sure that it will be very different from their current show. As GL says above, Felder's parts will probably be played by Steuart.

As for solo songs I imagine it will be the same Joe songs & the same Don songs. I hate to sound so cynical. I hope I am wrong.

As for speculating, you got to be careful about stating speculations as fact 'cause you might have to eat some crow once the shows start. That said, there's no harm in it.

I speculate that Tim will stay onstage and play the whole time but just not be highlighted ~ kind of stand back in the shadows like the Eagles do for most of Desperado when the spotlight is on Don.

Anyone have any idea if they'll be heading to Indianapolis? I ask because I just found out Paul McCartney is coming here July 24th and I've been saving for the boys but...if they aren't coming then I'm going to see Sir Paul.

I have to say though, I know you've seen the Eagles. If you haven't seen Paul, you should go see him. He is AMAZING.

I'D like to see the Eagles in Indy. They are not stupid. They do this by design to get hardcores to go to more than one show.

I have no clue about the technology behind it and so I have no idea if it's even possible, but wouldn't it be something if they could do a hologram of Randy singing TITTL? Can they use old concert footage for this? If not for the whole song maybe just the end? I love Glenn's version, but I'd love to hear Randy's perfectly-pitched high notes "one more time".

Will they bring Joe out in a road box? And will Bernie pour a beer on Glenn when he leaves the stage or will he just say "I'm going surfing"

Hehe this made me giggle.


And yes although it would be cool to have all seven guys for this tour, I'm just as excited if it's only Bernie! Bernie is awesome.

I agree with Soda, they're likely to do what they've been doing the last 2-3 years once this tour is over, which will take a few years. As long as they're all healthy and people want to hear them, I think there's a good chance they'll keep on keeping on.

Yes, this tour is shaping up to be an odd one. No NYC, I hope they don't consider Bethel to be close enough. Same for Boston and Mansfield. Only one night in DC with no room in the schedule to add a night. Same for Chicago. Only 13 dates in the first leg, 14 if you count the Salmon festival. Only 8 in the second leg. It seems to me, not that I'm an expert, that their approach to this tour is much different than the LROOE tour.

I had been thinking I'd do at least one concert in each tour leg, but none of the cities announced yesterday excite me. Chicago should, since I've never been there except to sit in an airport, but the airfare there, even this far out, is expensive. I have a feeling there will be a presale announced for tomorrow morning for all these cities and so I need to decide. Pick one or wait and do two in November (or whenever)?

If you go look at the pic I posted in the Pittsburgh thread, that section was mostly presale, and the one like it across the arena. I think my first results were at about row H and I passed and then ended up with row Q (before getting row F in the Official Platinum seats). The same general location came up in the presale for DC. So, if you can't get floor seating and don't want to pay the Official Platinum prices (or VIP), then at least in the last leg of the tour, the AmEx presales were pretty good.

As I said before, I got my AmEx for presales back in 2008 and it turned into my favorite credit card. I pay an annual fee, but I make that back and more, way more, in reward points. I use it like cash and it gets paid off each month. Last year I got four AmEX gift cards for the nephews using reward points, $25 each, plus two $100 Home Depot gift cards, plus two $25 gift cards for restaurants. Sorry, this has turned into an AmEx commercial!

Mansfield is really not that far from Boston, and the Comcast Center is one of the biggest non-arena concert venues in the area. I'd much rather see them there than Boston Garden.

Yes and no. The best seats are held back for Official Platinum. What's offered seems to be different at each venue. While Pittsburgh had good seats on the side offered in the presale, I just checked out Auburn Hills and it did not. It's a crap shoot.

Had to share this----

Last night, hubby and I were sitting on the patio listening to the radio, The Drive out of Chicago. A commercial for the United Center concert came on and they mentioned each Eagle by name, ticket info, etc.... Larry turned to me, looked at my arm and said, "just hearing that commercial gave you goosebumps. Look at your arm." He was right, I had goosebumps all up my arms and a smile a mile wide on my face. Busted again!! :hilarious: So glad he knows me and tolerates me so well. :thumbsup:

PM - There hasn't been anything officially announced yet, so NO, we don't know. I'm crossing my fingers, but, honestly, I'm getting a bit of an unsettled feeling that there hasn't been an official press release about Bernie joining the tour. To me, if he were going to be a regular on the tour, they would want to highlight that in their promotion and marketing of tickets for the shows. Hope I'm wrong though.

This article is about the Rolling Stones latest tour, but I'm wondering how this will translate for our guys. I've not been following many venues, but I know DC is sold out except for the new Official Platinum seats they've just released in the last week or so. Those seats are high priced and not what I consider to be good seats, but I realize my definition of a good seat is different from most people's!

Seats in Pittsburgh are still moving a bit slowly, and the Official Platinums there aren't moving at all. There are still VIP seats left in Pittsburgh. Not sure why other than the morning DJ there was pretty negative in his review of the movie, which did elicit a few tweets and an email from me, of course :)

If you have a choice at all, SC, I'd do Kansas City. I saw the Eagles there on 3/28/2009 and I loved everything about the venue and the town. The Spring Center is steps away from a city block square, dome-like enclosure that has a fire pit, bars and restaurants. Our hotel was within walking distance. The only bad part was the weather. Glenn said that due to the snow, they'd barely made it in. I had flown in from NY the day before.

I don't wish ill upon our guys but the Rolling Stone's lack of sales caused them to lower prices. I certainly wouldn't be adverse to that happening for Eagles shows!!!

Lack of sales is not reflective of the band losing popularity; it's reflective of the fact that many of their fans are suffering economic hardships that makes them unable to afford such prices.

I don't know...when the Stones played NYC a few months ago, the seats were $800. & that was not on the floor. These were from Ticketmaster, not even on a resale site. I think they did sell out. I didn't see the prices for this particular show you are talking about... It's the price of a vacation to see some of these gigs.

I did see some Stones video on YouTube with Mick Taylor & they were pretty awesome.

I'm almost wondering if the Bernie thing hinges on him coming to rehearse with them, and seeing how that goes. Didn't Glenn say rehearsals start in May (It was the very end of April when he said it--did he mean June?) I can see them wanting to see if he "gels" with the band and show structure as it is now before making anything official... I suppose they can promote it at any time as a big "surprise" and sell more tickets that way.

I agree with this. I wish concert goers would pull back a little and let the ticket sellers and acts know that we're not going to pay these prices anymore. Of course, there will always be some that can afford to go, but I wish these bands would get back in touch with their blue collar fans and realize that yes, maybe we'll pay these prices and go into debt to see them, but we shouldn't have to. It's pretty bad when you consider $250 to be a cheap ticket.

I was having a discussion just this past weekend with someone who knew I was trying to get tickets for a couple upcoming shows of different acts. Bon Jovi in Chicago is around $600 per ticket, etc.... I told them I give up. I've resigned myself to the fact that I most likely have seen some of my last concerts. I'm extremely glad I have seen hundreds of them in the past because I just will NOT, no way, no how EVER buy a ticket that is the price of my car payment. I don't care who it is!! It's not even that I can't afford it, I just simply WILL NOT spend that kind of money for an 1 1/2 - 3 hours of a show topped with traveling expenses, hotels, time off work, etc.... We are talking a couple weeks wages at times. That's insane!! But this is just my opinion and I know many others feel completely different and good for them. But when I can take that $1000 and stick it in the bank for retirement, make a triple car payment or a mortgage payment, it isn't happening for this girl. And frankly, that saddens me that someone who loves music as much as I do, has had to make that decision. :-(

Exactly. I'm going to see the Rolling Stones in Philly, but ONLY because I got the $85 mystery location seats. Otherwise I could not bring myself to pay their ticket prices. They are outrageous and I'm not surprised that the sales are suffering. Of course I'm hoping I get lucky and end up in the tongue pit, but realistically I know I'll be in the rafters, and I'm fine with that.

I would love, love, love to see the Eagles once from really close up, but I cannot justify the $600-$900 price for a seat in the first few rows. It's a shame, as it does shut out some of their fan base from having that experience.
