    I myself really hope this is a successful mini tour. SO many people want them to fail and laugh in their face when they do fail and its sad. I think they will sell out. I'm really not surprised they added more dates. Joe and Don said they will probably do more dates even if this is just 4 dates. Plus they didn't say if it was this year or next year. They said they will do more. So I don't know why it was a surprised to some. These dates will add up to 7 for the year.

    I don't think their will be more dates for the rest of the year. Both Timothy and Vince have dates in November and December. I see more coming next year.

    Like I said earlier. I can't go to Atlanta, but I'm hoping they will come to either Memphis or New Orleans (they are only 3 hours away from me) next year because I know their will be more dates next year.
    I agree, Shun. It's good to see positive comments. I know others who don't agree with this try not to be too negative, but I can "hear" the sarcasm in their comments. Is this the "true" Eagles? No, but it's good in its own way. I'm so glad I got to go to NY to see them, and I'm hoping they'll be successful and add a date in New England in the not too distant future!

    I hope so too. Right now, I'm saving for my 20th high school class reunion and we are going on a cruise next year in July. So until I pay off my balance, I won't be going anywhere for the rest of the year. Plus I can't save up enough money to go to Atlanta in October at this moment. The ticket price is not the problem. Its saving for hotel and gas since I would drive there. That's why I'm waiting until next year. New Orleans and Memphis are doable since I can easily just drive back home after the concert. I done that many times when I head to Mississippi gulf coast to see a concert at a casino since its a three hour drive(its seems like all the major cities is 3 hours from where I live. It sucks being in the middle of the state sometimes). I might even go to a show in Missouri if they go that route too.

    I don't know if I would drive back to Texas. I love Don and the Eagles, but I'm not driving back to Texas again, but I do want to see Caddo Lake one day. So I might go there and Linden again.

    Brothers for life. RIP Glenn

    I'm not sure I believe in fate, but I know that crossing paths with Glenn Lewis Frey in 1970 changed my life forever, and it eventually had an impact on the lives of millions of other people all over the planet. It will be very strange going forward in a world without him in it. But, I will be grateful, every day, that he was in my life. Rest in peace, my brother.

    Shun - As you know I do not agree with this.
    However, I truly hope they add more shows so that you and everyone else who wants to can go see the guys. I agree that more shows will probably not be added until next year, which will give people more time to save up to purchase the tickets.

    Shun - Have a wonderful time on your cruise next year ! Where are you going ? What a fun way to celebrate your 20 year reunion !

    Personally I find it interesting how the Eagles are identifying/billing themselves in relation to the upcoming "An Evening with the Eagles" Fall 2017 Concerts.

    "The Eagles - Don Henley, Joe Walsh & Timothy B Schmit with Vince Gill and Deacon Frey".

    Re: Concerts in smaller venues located in key regions/markets across the country - I expect this could/would be the way they want to go from here on out though I wouldn't be surprised if they (co)headline a major summer festival in 2018 as well as announce an overseas series of concerts.

    Second, it appears to me they are in this for the long run and will continue to perform with this lineup as long as Vince Gill is onboard and of course Glenn's son, Deacon.

    Dawn - As you said interesting. So, I guess that means Vince and Deacon are not "true" members of the Eagles. Either that or they simply not billing them as members.

    It makes me wonder if Don and/or Irving have listened to some of the backlash on the internet...it certainly seemed like they were billing Vince and Deacon as members of the Eagles before. Like they are hoping to draw some of the people who were opposed to this, as if to say, ok, they're not Eagles, will you buy tickets now. I'm sure I'm reading too much into this; I'm sure they don't have time or the inclination to read what people say on the internet.

    Groupie - NEVER underestimate Don or Irving on anything. They know exactly what they are doing and probably have assistants searching social media for fans opinions and have heard the back lash. Because I "liked" the Eagles as part of my FB thingy, the concert keeps coming up on my page. Many people are calling it a money grab.

    I noticed that too with Deacon and Vince getting billed more as guests this time. I too hope they will add more in in the New Year and that way I can see them all together (unlike how I have seen Don & Joe this past year solo). Of course I still wish I got to when Glenn was still here, but we don't know how much longer Don, Joe, and Timothy will be so it's a bit of a you have to now or you never will with me and my family.

    We are going to Cozumel leaving out of New Orleans. This will be my first time going on a cruise. I wanted to do a cruise for my 40th Birthday in 3 years, but I guess this will be close.

    Very cool ! I went to Cancun with a friend in 1999. The beaches were beautiful and the people were very friendly. I also loved the Myan ruins. I only cruised once. There is a lot to do on the ship. Bring tons of suntan lotion - it is really hot there and I went in February.
    One of these day I hope to get to N.O.
