I'm not a Vince Gill fan either.
His music does nothing for me (but in fairness, I'm not much for that kind of country anyway) and while he seems to be a likable guy, I didn't care for his eagerness when he was first announced to be in the new lineup. If I were Glenn's friend and fellow musician, I'd say this isn't right and no way am I doing this. I think Vince is talented to be sure, but between his voice/music/playing doing nothing for me, and his interviews when he got the gig, I was very turned off. I've listened to a video of him singing Eagles songs, I was not impressed. I actually think Deacon does a better job in the band, but I still am against it regardless.
I think it ranks right up there with the 'Glenn is not being replaced' argument.
UTW - I am not a fan of segregating 'for and against' threads either. It just feels like a contradiction of terms to exclude members from a discussion on a discussion board. However, I think Soda was just trying to stop the constant circular arguing between the two sides of this issue, so I understand why she did it.
I can't really think of an acceptable solution at this point. I just wish we could reach a point where fans could just agree to disagree, but be respectful of each other's views. But, maybe I'm just being naive that this is possible on an online forum. In any event, as I said yesterday, I do think there was some progress made in this thread and members have been more tolerant with a few exceptions.

We may never know, but there is some discussion about this on pages 5 - 10 in this thread. Additional discussion is here if you really are interested. You can judge for yourself.

I agree with much of what you say, YEF. I would add that Don supports a number of charities including his own Walden Pond foundation and no doubt he wants to plan for and ensure their financial viability long after he passes.
Thanks for that tidbit of info. Bernie probably hasn’t toured like that since the 70s so that’s not too surprising, even though he seemed to be in the best physical shape of all of them.
Too late I learned he appeared on the “Buddy and Jim Radio Show” (Outlaw Country SiriusXM channel) last summer. It would have been interesting to hear what he had to say, esp. if it had anything to do with the Classic Concerts.

For me, it's simple. Why not hire two extra touring members to lighten the band's work load -- with 52 plus concerts they can easily afford the added expense if you even want to call it that. Frankly I think it's a "dream team" business strategy/formula that is paying off big time.
I am curious how the pie is being divided up.
