You seem to be very concerned about hierarchy, that it be clearly established the the Eagles are "superior" to Fleetwood Mac in every way. They must go last at every show. They must not sing backup at any time, not even for part of a song. They must not allow the members of Fleetwood Mac to play any of the key instruments while they are onstage together.
However, Don has already demonstrated he does not share this mentality in his "Two Voices" tour with Stevie Nicks. Joe currently is making special appearances at TSO shows just as he did with Kenny Chesney and has done with other artists... sharing the spotlight. As for easy-going Timothy, do you really think he would be indignant at the notion that the quiet, unassuming John McVie play bass on a couple songs when they're both onstage?
So we get to the crux of the matter - Glenn. I know you are very concerned that Glenn assert himself as "in charge" at all times. However, I think Glenn is not in the grip of such a compulsive need. That type of behavior would indicate a lack of maturity and self-confidence, two things I believe Glenn possesses in spades.
Perhaps Glenn respects the members of Fleetwood Mac and does not consider performing with them to be beneath him. Imagine that!
