WOW this thread moves so fast. As far as I’m concerned and I think many of the longer term borders would know I definitely DON’T think that the band should be performing in their current format with no obvious salutation to GlennNotwithstanding Deacons presence, and I DO wish the kid well the band just cannot be the same, and to market it as such without the acknowledgment that things have changed is just a travesty to Glenn
’s memory.
I’m not saying that all of the band should have given up performing, or performing together out of respect for him. They are professional musicians and as well as that obviously the Eagles was their job and their love and they were not ready to retire. BUT it seems like Glennhas just been airbrushed out of anything to do with the band.
Even if they had adapted their name to reflect that they are not and never will be the same as the band GlennFrey fronted. Or called themselves ‘Eagles featuring Deacon Frey/Vince Gill’ or something to that effect. Or has some sort of tribute or acknowledgment to him during the show it might be easier to accept the new lineup but it just seems like Glenn
has been swept under the carpet and forgotten about so that Irving can make money out of his cash cow.
I was at an Eagles Tribute band last week. Throughout the show the guys in the band referred to the guys and their contribution to the band. When they played ‘Ol 55’ instead of a montage of pictures and videos they put up a picture of Glennbeside his Gladys looking up to the sky. A fitting tribute IMHO.
If they can do it surely the band can....
