As a general rule I don't.

The comments section on almost any YouTube video is a vile cesspit.
The fact the pro side here or on YouTube feels like they have to reduce us to "pseudo-fan" status and personally attack us. It's very sad and makes their viewpoint lessened because of it. If they were so sure this was ok that the Eagles were continuing, they wouldn't be needing to attack us to defend their side.

Thank you.

I listened to the Ol' '55 performance. Didn't like Vince's variations on the melody (I never like them anyway), but otherwise his singing was nice. I've never really thought of it as an Eagles song, so for me it was another singer covering a Tom Waits song. I missed Don's bits though.

i feel the same way. Vince has a very nice voice no question about it. His duets with wife Amy are well done.

TBH, I have never listened to a single video of Vince singing any of Glenn's songs. And I really have nothing personal against Vince, but the thought of him (or anyone else) up onstage at what is supposed to be an 'Eagles' concert makes me want to regurgitate.
I have watched a handful of Deacon's performances and think he is somewhat more acceptable since he is Glenn's son. But just slightly. The whole thing just continues to repulse me though.
Call me silly!!! :shrug:

Exactly, Austin. This is why, except for this message board, I rarely participate in social media. I can do without the viscious and uninformed trash talk. I prefer to avoid the negativity.

Wise move Dreamer - ultimately I am glad I listened to both but frankly it was not going to ever change my mind - I wanted to know what they sound like and get a feel for how fans are reacting. Vince has a solid fan base which I think may have been one of the main factors in adding him to the band - along with taking pressure off Deacon. There is alot happening on that stage but without Glenn to me it looks and feels like smoke and mirrors. Not real. Sub Par.

Not silly at all! I have refused to watch Vince singing any of Glenn's songs. I think I would regurgitate, lol. I watched a few of Deacon's performances, from the Classic East & West shows, but not since, nor do I have a desire to. I wasn't too impressed by what I saw, although I'll admit it took guts, and maybe he's gotten better since, but I've seen enough.

My impression of Deacon is he is doing the best he can and that's really all one should expect of him. He does not sound like Glenn. Not at all. And why anyone would think otherwise is beyond me.
