History of the Eagles Tour Setlist

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Great idea, MC. I agree with Brooke that hubby may enjoy the show more if he is familiar with the songs. Ya may wanna throw in a history lesson or two in as well before the show.

I have made an iTunes playlist for the HOTE set list and have burned that to CD for a friend who will be going to the first Dublin show. She says she doesn't know any Eagles songs - her husband is the fan! I'd say she will be surprised when she listens to it!

[GlennLover]

She'll have a very pleasant surprise! What a cool thing to do for her.

[Brooke]

Very nice of you Ga!

When I went to see Jackson Browne I did that for our friends that went with us and we listened to it on the way to the show!

[Glennsallnighter]

Thanks. She was delighted with it!

We posted a setlist for the Long Road Out of Eden tour and it was quite helpful, so I thought I'd post the info for the HOTE tour as well. This is the setlist for all shows starting with the Louisville show on 7/6/13. If there are any changes, I will update this post.

I had an a-ha moment when No More Walks in the Woods came up on my music player. Wouldn't it work into the second set of the show and give us not only the SBR harmony effect but a selection from LROOE as well, which they don't represent in the show? It's a short song so it wouldn't throw the timing of the show off completely I would think. They could use it to lead off the second half of the show since they lose the continuity in timeline then.

[Freypower]

It would be out of chronological order.

[sodascouts]

It might be nice as an encore; it's great as a vocal showcase, although the melody meanders a bit (IMHO).

However, I'd much rather have "Seven Bridges Road" to show those off like they did at the LA Forum that one night. "Seven Bridges Road" into "How Long" was perfect as it also injected the woefully neglected LROOE quickly and efficiently. Wouldn't it be great if they decided to make that encore a regular part of their set?

I have to be honest, as much as I love The James Gang and Joe Walsh's solo stuff, I wish they would either replace or complement them with genuine Eagles hits, perhaps more stuff from On the Border etc. It doesn't seem right to me that Henley and Frey's solo works get cut but songs Walsh did elsewhere / as a solo artist remain. Also wish they would make Take It Easy the last song, Desperado is such a depressing note to go out on, and if I'm honest I think Don H. makes it more dramatic than needs to be. Would fit right in earlier on, they could go from Desperado straight into the Doolin-Dalton/Desperado Reprise, which I think works really well.

For me I prefer Life's Been Good as an Eagles song. It sounds like an Eagles theme song that describes them. So much so that I never listen to the But Seriously Folks version anymore, it's always the Eagles Live version. It's just way better. As far as #49 or RMW, I'm not as picky about those but I can tell you that Joe makes the show and is the hit of the show every time. He steals the show about halfway through and all eyes are on Joe. Songs like LBG allow the band to relax and let Joe become in the driver's seat. He makes the show fun for me. That said I'm fine with whatever for Funk #49 or RMW but if I went to an Eagles concert and didn't hear Life's Been Good, I'd be pretty PO'd. The harmonies and twin solos on the Eagles versions make that song, which was Joe's best IMO to begin with.
