Looks like The Band is on a full fledged tour next year! How do you feel about that?

[tac0mao6]

I'm just curious how much revenue the band made last year and how much they will make on this tour. 8 concerts to 52 is a big bump. The media has not reported on how much money last summer's The Classics East/West & Northwest made. The Eagles were one of 6 bands for East/West and 1 of 2 for Northwest.

You are awesome tac0mao6!!! Thank you so much! I don't know how I missed this info or why I thought one had to be a subscriber but I did. Thanks again, I really appreciate your time and effort to help me out!

I wonder if Vince and Deacon are being paid equally. Thoughts anyone?

Yeah me either but I got to thinking about it and wondering specifically about Deacon.

Maybe. I could see him donating what ever he earns to charities Glenn founded

What happens if they take Vince Gill or Deacon Frey or even both out of the lineup? I view Deacon on equal footing with Gill. They were both hired to replace Glenn. At the moment they are not official Eagles. They are touring members of the band. Seems like their primary job is sharing lead vocals on Glenn Frey songs in addition to playing guitar and singing harmony parts.

I think that the current lineup works as well as we could hope for given the circumstances. I'd prefer that they keep it the same. However, that's their decision, not mine.

[Dawn]

They have 52 concerts to play with this lineup for this tour. That is hard core, a major commitment. I can not imagine them doing this same routine year after year.

Why are they in the photograph, then?

What else should their roles be?

I would actually say that when I saw that photo, with Deacon & the other guy, as far as I was concerned that was the absolute final straw, the final nail in the coffin in my interest in them & their activities.

[Dawn]

For me, I lost interest the day Glenn Frey died.

I do remember seeing that promotional publicity photo of Deacon Frey and Vince Gill for the first time and reading the LA Times article about the Eagles (Don Henley) calling on " family & friends" and wondering if this wasn't the beginning of (as one person described it) "the world's greatest Eagles tribute band going on tour".

IIRC in the LA Times interview Don Henley described the upcoming Classics as an "experiment" and more or less implied that whatever happened next would be Azoff's ball.

Personally, I don't know how long the band will continue to tour with Vince Gill and Deacon Frey.
