This whole thing just makes me sad. :sad:
I would like to see them do a one off concert with Deacon....do it in LA, do it wherever. Heck, I probably won't even be able to go.....but still.
But yes, a true "farewell"/tribute concert with Deacon would be something I would like to see happen in the future
But them continuing as a unit with that name without GF seems like a lacking Eagles and I wouldn't want to see them just continue to wear it out year after year tour after tour. It wouldn't be right, IMO.
Do something like what Led Zeppelin did with Jason Bonham at the O2.
I think a tribute/farewell show is appropriate but anything beyond that and I'm simply not interested.
I understand those not even wanting a tribute/send off concert and that's totally fine, I get that, but other people will feel otherwise, just as people will feel otherwise to me saying they shouldn't tour, where some will think they should.
I've speculated on the prospect of Felder corralling Leadon, Schmit, and Walsh, putting Joe Vitale on the drum stands, and re-banding the Eagles with Felder himself as the frontman. Of course, I did this more as a joke than anything else.
As far as actual re-banding goes, I sure hope not.
Agreed!Quote:

I don't see anything long term happening, and I don't think it should. The 3 guys (Don, Joe, Tim) seem content and happy to do their solo careers. I would love a filmed one-off tribute show, though.
Agreed, AG, I'd like to see a public tribute show happen and have it released on DVD.Quote:

As I said in the other thread where this was discussed, I agree that Don meant having Deacon join for a few tribute shows - not a full-blown Eagles tour. I would welcome the former, but the latter - um, no thanks.
I've seen it happen again and again. A sentence gets taken out of context, gets twisted, then in its new distorted form gets parroted endlessly on social media and sites looking for some clickbait.
Every time I see this headline, I cringe, because I know 99% of the people who see it will not look any further and are now fully expecting the Eagles to tour the world in a few months with their new member, Deacon Frey.
I hope they all just do their own solo stuff. They can sound good doing Eagles songs in their solos. Don Felder and Joe play Eagles material in their shows and they sound fantastic. I imagine Don F is the same.
There is such a difference in their age and Deacon's age, I can't even imagine it. I wonder how well they actuall know Deacon or he knows them. I think their relationships became professional not personal and they probably had little contact.
