Eagles Retrospective Tour?

[Topkat]

Soda, I do like your list of songs, with the exception of the encores!!

WITW is not an encore song, IMO & should be placed somewhere toward the end of the show.

As for Take It Easy?? Well, this is my pick for the final encore song, not the first song of the show....
It's like, so long & take it easy! It was a saying some of me & my friends adopted as a goodbye saying to each other in the 70's. I had one guy friend who was constantly saying "take it easy" as he walked away.
I think it is an very appropriate ending for the show, as it brings the band full circle to their very first hit, as well as being upbeat. I don't really like the idea of opening the show with that song even though it was the first hit.

Don't worry, we won't shoot you for treason! Most of the fans that show up will want to hear the older hits. Those are the ones that are part of the very fabric of their lives (and mine). The newer songs are nice and I like most of them. They are great to hear. The older ones, though, are part of our history, not just the Eagles history. As they sing them, I'll be having a retrospective of my own life along with them.

I regard LROOE as a huge part of my history.

I wouldn't mind them closing with It's Your World Now as a way of passing the torch, but I know that won't happen. Incredibly underrated song.

I guess I refuse to admit that 2007 is 'history'! I'm pretty sure I'm still back in 2005 somewhere. Or perhaps 1985.

I like the idea of IYWN as last, but they aren't ready to pass the torch yet!

This is a quotation from the Billboard article. Me like.

GF: It's hard to say what to leave in and what to leave out. We're in a rotating place (of songs) right now.

Don Henley: It's a great problem to have.

GF: I think we feel like people come to hear us play the songs they've been living with. One of my rules, but it's not a cardinal rule, you have to open with a bit of a bang, then you have to settle down with some mid-tempo things and then ramp up to crescendo. But we're also looking at who sings which song -- you don't want the same person to sing three in a row -- what are the guitar changes, does Don have to leave the drums, do I have to move to the piano.

DH: There's a channel on Sirius XM radio called Deep Cuts and I think we have to do a few songs for those people, the ones who didn't just listen to the hit singles.

I could not have said it better myself.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Well, you might have called it Deep Tracks. Since that's the name of the station!

[sodascouts]

Hearing that makes me happy, too. It also makes me hope they will indeed have a longer setlist.

I caught that too.

This is me! This is me! Yes, Don, yes!

Cuts/tracks, whatever! This makes me very, very happy! Oh, please!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

OK. Let's switch gears. If you could get one 'deep track' in the upcoming tour, what would it be and why? There are tracks on Very Best Of that I'd be surprised if they played, but I don't consider them 'deep tracks'. What do you all think?

[Brooke]

Deep Tracks picks for me would be:

Doolin-Dalton
Good Day In Hell
Hollywood Waltz
Victim of Love
King of Hollywood
The Girl From Yesterday
Get Over It
Do Something
It's Your World Now

you said one? Sorry! And why-I love them!
