Oh, I wasn't doubting you, Kath. I very much hope it's just something temporary!

Really enjoyed the show. It did seem rushed but I knew it would be a shortend set list and I came to hear them play not talk. Love Walsh but could do with less of his solo songs and more Eagles. Wish they had played Long Road out of Eden. For a bunch of 60 year olds, I thought they looked and sounded good and it is an Eagles trademark to start their shows without any fanfare, lights go down, lights come up and song starts.
I am sorry that Glenn apparently 'struggled'. That is not what the review said. The review said he was in 'exceptional voice'.
Why is it that only Glenn 'struggles'? When one of the others 'struggles' nothing is ever said about it. I can assure you that back in 2004 Henley 'struggled' every night I saw them.
Dreamer, to me playing those exact same solo songs is just as much a tribute to themselves (or at least to Henley and Walsh) as it would be if they played Eagles songs. As you say yourself they have played every one of these since HFO. The only one they dropped was ASWTDID and even that was briefly revived. AND they apparently now think a solo song is so important that it has to be the second last song in the set.
I don't dispute they are 'doing something right' but I object to this wholesale dumping of the LROOE songs whenever the setlist is shorter because of this apparent need to 'please the majority'.

I agree. Devoting more than a quarter of the setlist to solo songs is excessive. When I go to an Eagles show, I'm going to hear them do Eagles songs, not their greatest solo hits. If I want that, I'll go to their solo concerts. That truncated setlist along with the shows being held in stadiums are enough to keep me away from these particular shows.
Agree, no more stadium shows. If the boys agree to do two nights in a smaller venue, I promise to buy tickets to both nights.
I can think of several times when people have commented about Tim and Don struggling with their voices - most recently during Don's solo shows last fall. I'm pretty sure there several comments about it, including in my own review. However, I'm not really sure what the purpose is of making such observations anyway.Originally Posted by Freypower
Well - good grief, if they aren't supposed to try to please the majority of people who come to their shows, just who are they supposed to try to please???

Everyone has good days and bad days....even the eagles! I still think they ROCK! If I could sing like that at their age...well I should say if only I could sing! LOL
