    Default Welcome back Bernie!

    I know he is just a "guest" on the new tour, but I can not begin to say how happy I am to see Bernie back up there playing with the Eagles. He must be having a blast playing with his old pals Glenn and Don and singing and playing songs that he was part of creating. And just as exciting to see him tour for the first time with Joe and Timothy. These are special shows, and I can't wait till this tour gets to the West Coast!
    High up on his own, the Eagle flies alone and he is free...

    I think it will be odd (for me at least) to see him share a stage with Walsh - they are (or at least were in the 70s) two totally different musicians, though Joe has calmed down a bit over the years so it won't be quite such a clash. Of course before this the only time they had ever played together was at the RRHF induction and they all seemed really tense then.

    I did a bit of checking before and at current rates an Eagles gig ticket works out at £130 for a 'normal' seat. When they do come to the UK I'll happily pay that. Only two bands I want to see in my lifetime and the Eagles are one. The more members that are on stage on that night the better!

    Hearing Bernie up there doing "Train Leaves Here This Morning" with Glenn and Don was absolutely surreal. I never thought I would have that privilege. He and Joe obviously respect each other and there was no tension at all in Louisville.

    I should have added, I meant among all 7 at the Rock Hall of Fame meeting. You could tell none of them were comfortable and probably secretly wished they needn't do it. Though to be honest Joe Walsh seems too laid back to care about tension and hatred.

    It was nice to see Joe put his arm around Bernie for a moment during the goodbyes in Louisville.

    In the bows in Milwaukee, he and Glenn were next to each other, and after they all broke, the two of them kept their arms around each other for a bit longer, and Glenn said something to Bernie and they both smiled before separating. It was great to see.

    I was really hoping Bernie would be a part of this show, but they exceeded my expectations by how much he is a part of it! I was hoping for a morsel; they gave me a whole cookie!

    I am so happy that Bernie is back, and that he's a big part of the shows... I honestly thought he would join them for perhaps one or two songs! This is just great. My mum is a big fan of Bernie. I emailed her one of his pics from the concert and she just responded: "Yum!"

    It must be so cool to have a parent/parents who are fans, although my parents did dance to BOML at my niece's wedding! They probably didn't know it was the Eagles, though.

    Yes, it's a good way of convincing her to watch the Kirshner '74 show with me when I'm at home... "But Bernie's in it, too!"
