First of all, welcome from me as well, OM. Glad to have you here on The Border, and hope you will stick around and enjoy yourself here.
Thank you so much for your review of Felder's show. I was particularly interested in what Don's set list would be. I am so glad that you enjoyed the show and agree with you that Felder is an extremely talented musician. I was wondering about his stage presence. Unfortunately, I never got to see him perform live with the Eagles, but from all the video I've seen, I always thought he brought a lot of energy to his live performances.
Having said that, I do wonder how successful Don can be playing old Eagles songs. With all due respect to him, even though he co-wrote a lot of the songs in the set list, IMHO, I really think most people would rather see them performed by the guys who originally sung them. I believe that if he is going to sustain a successful solo career, he is going to have to release some new material that meets with at least a moderate amount of success.
I'm looking forward to your thoughts after you read the book. I'll wait for you to post in the 'Heaven and Hell' book thread before commenting so I don't hijack this thread, but I did want to respond to this one thing that you said here:
Much of this has already been discussed in detail in the book thread. However, if you start reading the book by making this assumption, then you will have no problem agreeing with Felder's accounts. My point is that we don't have any knowledge about the details of any negotiations to support what you said. In fact you will find that Felder himself is very vague in his accounts.
