    It's music, and for my money's worth - Glenn was the heart of the Eagles. You can't just rip it out and expect all of us to go along as if nothing ever happened.

    The banner on the official site is pathetic, quite frankly. If that's all they can muster then I certainly don't feel bad at all for feeling the way I do. If people want to overlook that, then they can enjoy the concerts and those left from the band and good for them and if they like it, more to them. But I just can't. And there is nothing wrong with that, and from the looks of it I'm not the only one.
    Very true!

    Re the music: Personally, I was completely underwhelmed by Vince Gill and really don't get why he was hired as a touring member other than to take the pressure off Deacon who simply can't be expected to fill in on all his dad's lead vocals. That's #1. Number 2 - Vince Gill and his long time country music industry/fans connection plus availability to commit to *30 to 40 or more concerts a year was most likely a valuable consideration. Unsure about their ability to continue to command premium ticket prices may have also been a factor in the decision to add Vince Gill to the lineup indefinitly. I just don't care for the way the band sounds at all.

    * looks like they are currently at or very near 40 concerts scheduled for 2018
