My thoughts haven't changed at all.
If they are sitting (like an acoustic performance), you should sit. If they stand, we have every right to stand. Now me personally I stand very rarely for certain reasons but I should have that right and so should shorter people.
To me the Eagles in their later years got pretty stuffy. Corporate-like stuffiness. Compare that 70s or even HFO footage. With HFO they were headed in that direction but not as noticeable as F1 and forward. I think a rock n' roll band shouldn't act and dress like businessmen on Wall Street. Informality is the very nature of rock n' roll. I don't want to go to a funeral. I want to go to a FUN rock concert. I have enough serious crap in my life, the last thing I want to go to is a concert where everyone onstage looks grumpy and act like they'd rather be anywhere but on that stage. It just dampens whatever music they are playing.
Maybe it's because I'm used to AC/DC (as just one example) where everyone on that stage is having the time of their life or at least convincingly acting like it (which I'm fine with). The fun energy in the room adds to the aural experience. Similarly, a stuffy "bad hair day" attitude can detract from even a great sonic performance. I fully believe that with concerts half the experience is
visual. Otherwise we'd all just listen to studio records and hear them at their best.
I LOVED the Eagles and the shows I saw, don't get me wrong. But I still feel like sharing these thoughts which have been my thoughts on this from day one. It didn't ruin my shows but to me they got a little too serious for me in the later years. Relax guys. You are talented, rich, and privileged. Fake it if you must but at least act like you give a damn that people paid hard earned money to see you.
