Having read extensively through this thread I don't think I have anything to add that hasn't already been said. I too would probably be classed as one of those Frey fans who would be happier living in the past as opposed to embracing the new regime with open arms. Well it's how I feel and I make no apologies for it.
I won't be going to either of the festival shows in the USA anyway. I will be interested to see what the set list is and how it will be presented to the fans. I think that to suggest that any seats that cost less than $900 are 'cheap' says it all. I remember the days not so long ago when I got to see the guys from the front row for less than that.
As for Soda. I know how upsetting the last 15 months have been and how hard she has worked to maintain this board particularly in the weeks following Glenn
's death. It is her board, her Baby (as we say) her choice to run the board as she sees fit and I would support her in any decision there.
