Lovely. Thanks, PM.
JCL, I agree with everyone else and think you should definitely go. I've only seen him once live, and that was ??? years ago, but it was fantastic! I know he's doing some country songs, but I'll bet there will be Eagles songs and his solo songs sprinkled in. Probably more and more than the country.
Do it. You may never have the chance again.
JCL - I also vote for you to go. I don't believe that you will be disappointed.
And thank you PM! Reading the words does give it new meaning to me.

There are a lot of lyrics in Glenn :heart:s songs which taken in isolation can bring some sort of comfort. I always feel those in "River of Dreams' tell you to live your life and take the opportunities to live up to what you want to make it. 'People don't run out of dreams, people just run out of time' is so apt. Lyrics in POMPOY too.
JCL I totally understand where you are coming from. I feel kinda the same, not about the setlist, but while I was never NOT going to go to see Don, there was an anticlimax or emptiness in my heart buying my tickets. I felt sad that I would never experience the thrill of buying then=m to see either Glenn :heart: solo or the band ever again. And I thought how unfair it was that Don was still out there touring, making music, doing what he loves with poor Glenn :heart: gone.
However I would also say that if you have the time to go to see Don Henley do try. These last few months have shown us that we can take nothing and no one for granted. I would feel that this will be my last 'brush' with any Eagles related performance (not withstanding that the Ultimate Eagles are excellent, but they are not the real deal), as I cannot see Don playing here again. Timothy did not play here when he did his mini UK tour in 2010, and I just feel Joe wont either.
I'm going to see Don, but I'm doing it for Glenn :heart:.
GAN, your post breaks my heart! I really want to cry because I can feel the pain in your words. I know you are not overly excited to see Don, but try to have a good time if you can and remember the good times. It may bring more tears and that's okay too as it is cathartic.
A lot of my career I spent working in critical care. My patients were so sick with various complications and even though I was there primary nurse, I could not keep track of all the surgergies, times they were placed on and off the ventilator, etc., they had to endure for various reasons( expected and unexpected).
Although I am so sad Glenn is no longer physically with us, I am grateful that he did not have to endure the endless suffering I have witnessed in some patients which usually ends the same. If not in death, horrible pain or severe compromised quality of life.
I know this doesn't make it any better, but I truly believe his spirit is free and amongst the angels.
Hugs!!
I'm truly sorry you feel this way, GA but please understand that while your feelings are understandable for someone like me, they are hurtful. I have been a huge fan of Don's all my life and never had the opportunity to see him solo - until now. I have just experienced the most traumatic and difficult two years of my life with bereavement, illness and stress. Don coming to Ireland is one of the highlights of my life and reading how you are only going to see Don because of his connection with Glenn and you feel resentful for Don getting on with his life is completely unfair. If it is too painful for you then please re-consider going - what is the point if you don't want to be there? I'm sorry to say this but I feel really upset reading about Don as if he was somehow 'second-best' and not even that in some people's opinions. To me he is everything just as Glenn was to you.Quote:

In fact the first thing that I thought she I heard that he was coming here was about how delighted you, Lacken and another friend who loves Don too would be. I honestly don't mean to rain on your party. As an Eagle I would never consider Don to have been second best to Glenn :heart: just Glenn :heart: was my favourite as Don is yours. I had seriously looked at going to see Don in Atlanta last year only I couldn't get suitable flights. So I wouldn't dream of missing him play in Dublin.
Once again sorry if I upset you. It wasn't meant
That's fine, GA, I accept your apology. I know it's hard for you but it's all about the music at the end of the day and how much the Eagles mean to us all. :-)
3 months gone today :sad:
