    Yes, I didn't get that great view of him, but I'm pretty sure it was Will!!!

What seems disproportionate to me here is the number of times you reprimand others if they say something that displeases you. Whether you intend it or not, it gets a bit tiresome, IMHO.
    I did not mean to sound condescending or judgmental. I simply thought that all the 'please don't drop TIE' posts were an overreaction to the band dropping it presumably as a one-off in what was not even a full length show. It was me who used to be upset about this sort of thing but I'm afraid that this time I wasn't surprised.

    Julie - I don't think you were intentionally being condescending or judgmental, but the tone of your post sure came across that way. This criticism is not intended to be mean-spirited, but rather contructive to just make you aware of how these kind of posts can be perceived by others. None of us is perfect, and it's useful for all of us to think about how we communicate on the board. It's hard to convey the proper message sometimes without the benefit of body language.

    I still think TIE should not have been dropped, even if it was a short show...
    They could have easily dropped something else, like The Long Run, WW or How Long. Any of those being dropped would be ok for me.
    No matter how short the show is, TIE should be included.
    In fact, I wouldn't even mind if they dropped Desperado..
    When I hear that first note, I know it's ending, & I immediately get depressed!
    End the show with Take It Easy....SHOCK US !

    Seriously. TIE is one of the two songs that people expect. Anything else would have been a preferable drop, with the exception of Hotel California.

    ETA: they could have dropped the JAMES GANG song! "So, we only have an hour. Shall we play our iconic Top-20 hit or shall we play a minor hit by our guitarist's old band?" Geez Louise!

    Walk Away, which since they've been performing it as a band since the mid-70's, I'm not sure it can be considered 'solo'.

    Yeah, I went back and edited my post accordingly; it's not solo, it's James Gang.

    I'd love to have been a fly on the wall when they discussed what songs to do for a one hour show!...
