I mention The Long Run because I don't see why nobody ever suggests that a Henley Eagles song could ever possibly be dropped, and that one is my least favourite of the songs he sings. I know it won't happen.

There are a number of Don's songs that have been in the set lists in the past that were later dropped. I know I was particularly happy when they dropped Sunset Grill, but not so much about The Best of My Love, Victim of Love, or Wasted Time.

Well, FP, I don't follow that line of reasoning at all. If that were the case, wouldn't Glenn be inclined to showcase himself even more to prove his worthiness to the fans???

So it sounds as if you are saying that Glenn doesn't think the fans want to hear his songs so he is content to wilt into the background, and let the more popular band members shine. Sorry, but I ain't buying this - Glenn just seems a bit too competitive to me.

But with regard to what PM is saying about Glenn's comments on the F1 DVD were made, I do think that he has always had the mindset ever since the resumption that Don would have the majority of the lead vocals in live shows. Every set list since 1994 has reflected this. However, until recently, Glenn still sang about 9 - 10 songs per show, which still represented about 1/3 of the set list. I was fine with that, and I didn't think his role seemed marginalized especially since he assumes the emcee responsibilities. However, he has recently subordinated himself to the point where I think it becomes obvious to even the casual fan.

Well, I was responding to your original comment that Glenn was more interested in a leadership role than a performing role. My thoughts are if this is true, why doen't he just take more of a leadership role when performing then instead of subordinating himself?

I find doing the quoting separate chunks of a post difficult so I will respond to you in point form:

1. They have just reintroduced Seven Bridges Road, so they are capable of making changes, yes. The likelihood of them doing so for their next tour seems remote to me.

(And on this: Metallica have announced an Australian tour for October - November. This does not bode well for a possible Eagles tour unless that is scheduled for November - December).

2. See my edited post re Henley songs which have been dropped. But unlike Frey songs, they are replaced by something else.

3. You agree that Glenn has subordinated himself after you say that Glenn is too competitive to let the other band members shine at his expense. Don't you think you've cancelled yourself out there?

4. His interest appears to me to be in his behind the scenes leadership.
