I don't think you are being a 'Downer' Soda, just a realist. I tend to agree. Given the boys reputation for their tight harmonies and the way the they tend to stick to a well known rigid routine, they might not be comfortable improvising. Also where would it stop. One song, 2 songs......could some people in the audiance get annoyed if THEIR song wasn't the one chosen?

I agree too that there are too many people out there DYING to say that they are not as good or as strong vocally etc as they were. While WE know that such statements are utter C**P and the Eagles know that they have a very strong fanbase, I guess they do not want to invite criticism either! JMO!
