Re: Randy Meisner in the Press
I was making a generalisation. However it appears that they certainly displayed lack of sentimentality on this occasion.
If Randy himself would have liked to appear with them, then perhaps they should have at least considered it, but having a former member receive a huge ovation for singing Take It To The Limit while the replacement bass player looked on is not something that I can imagine them wanting to happen.
Re: Randy Meisner in the Press
I understand.
I haven't decided what I think about the Eagles and sentimentality. I'm not sure that Eagles band members' feelings are necessarily sentimental or nostalgic by nature, but I guess that the fans could think that going back in time would amount to a sentimental or nostalgic expression.
To add a guest performer, the Eagles could appear on stage at the same time and play a song together as a group, including Randy Meisner;--or, alternatively; one or a few of the band members could temporarily excuse themselves from the stage and return after a special guest appearance that could include Randy Meisner.
Either format might not be too distracting to alter the audience's reception of the band.

I guess this isn't really a mention in the press - it's a mention in a song - but I still thought it worth noting!

Not sure where else to put this but wanted to share. Someone sent me this link about an auction of Randy's farm property (or one of them).

Wow - good find Austin. Thanks for letting us know. Even though it's Randy's, this city girl is gonna have to pass on a 73-acre farm in Nebraska. :grin:
