Why doesn't Timothy Tour solo?

I was just wondering what others thought about why Tim doesn't tour solo (even just in california) like Joe, Glenn and Don do?

I think it's that he is shy and is uncertain of being onstage all alone :)

I believe you are on the right track here. I recall reading something a while ago where he implied that there is safety in numbers. My impression is that he would not be completely comfortable being the center of attention for an entire show.

I've wondered about that, too. He has the artistic integrity to release a new album on his own - something his bandmates have not done in years - yet he does not even do the occasional show. I realize he is not as recognizable a name as some, but he is certainly a bigger name than a lot of the people I saw advertised on play at the casinos as I took my Glenn-tastic tour this summer. And even if it was just a small show every now and then...

But even though he chooses not to do shows, I admire that he gets his music out there for his fans.

The idea about him not liking the spotlight makes sense. He seems content to stay in the background most of the time.

I also agree that Tim doesn't seem to want to be front and center for an entire show. I think there is a lot of pressure on any singer to carry a solo show. You can't just be a singer, you have to be an entertainer as well. I remarked about this when we saw Glenn on his tour this summer. Glenn was much more focused and not as relaxed as a solo artist than when I've seen him perform with the Eagles. Even though I haven't seen Don perform solo, I have read several times that he is not as comfortable solo either.
