    Well, it looks like both you are definitely on the right track in helping to ease your PEW. Coming here to obsess and share your symptoms with other Eagles fans really helps a lot.

    And Kiwi, love your idea about starting a new thread about a new DVD. I bet us Borderers could think of some really interesting stuff to add. Go for it!

    I was wondering, how long can I PEW until I'm considered OCD and have to admit myself to a (eagles) nut farm?


    I have been catching up with this thread now and my colleagues probably think I'm silly as the tears have filled my eyes with laughter!

    I have enjoyed each and every post, but jdubfan, yours had me in stitches and hitting my desk.

    Let me think, how did I handle PEW (and PGW) after the Eagles concert I attended in March 2008 ( - almost 3 years ago now!!!)? I watched DVDs, played CDs, looked at photos, went onto The Border every possible free moment I had, fantasised about Glenn ... (oops, I didn't say that! )... the "coming back down to earth" after that experience was pretty awful, I can tell you.


    I've got a peaceful, easy feeling
    And I know Glenn won't let me down

    Oh I remember it well MF! It was the first time I'd ever experienced PEW and it hit like a bang. Of course I indulged in the well tried and trusted remedies too. But, hey, it took a LONG while!

    First of all - welcome back, MF. I have been in absentia myself for a couple of weeks, but we've missed ya and it's good to hear from you. I think many of us here can relate to your PEW/PGW - I know I've had some pretty severe bouts of it myself. Overindulgence in all things Eagles seems to be the best remedy.

    I've got PEW too. Waiting & praying for them to announce some UK shows soon. Surely it must be time they returned to London - last shows were at the O2 in March/April 2008. Fingers crossed.

    I've missed you too Dreamer!

    Let's see...PEW...for me, it helps when I read or hear what the guys are up to. The recent interviews are great, and we know we can expect Joe's album out this spring. Something to look forward to!

    Oh i hope so!
    Have only recently become a big fan of the Eagles, loved their music for years though. Since watching the Melbourne 04 DVD i was hooked.

    After having a glance at the 02 website there is a nice vacant slot there between 1st-15th July......could it be?
    How much were tickets last time they were in the UK? I have heard they were very expensive (£100+)?
    Wish there was some way we could find out if they were coming over here.
