Shortened Setlists Here to Stay?

[EasyFeeling]

Well, I sold my ticket today for 130 Euros. I paid 150 Euros, never paid so much money for a concert. And then I get only a shortened setlist and they dropped WITW and BOML, sorry but that's extortionate! I was lucky because someone wrote me who has never seen them and was looking for a good seat.

It's sad, really. When I bought the ticket I thought I would get at least the same as last time. I'm not willing to pay more money for less.

EF--I'm so sorry to hear that but I can totally understand what you are saying. Seems to be the general opinion right now and that is heart-breaking to me.

[EasyFeeling]

Thanks for understanding. It was not easy, believe me.

You're not going to Hamburg, EF?? But you were so looking forward to it! What a shame!

[sodascouts]

But they don't drop the solo songs, do they?

Yeah, I wish if they were going to let the axe fall, they'd get rid of solo songs and not Eagles ones. Maybe they figure the solo songs play better live? I don't know, but it doesn't make much sense to me.

Still, if the Eagles come near me, I'm going to see them. Who knows how much longer they'll be touring?

EF, I'm so sorry to hear you aren't going!

I know we've been saying that for years... and one day it will happen, they will stop touring... but I am going to hold firm on my thoughts that there will be a huge 40th US tour next year.

I have a wonderful thought that they will give us a nice FULL set list and it will be glorious!!! I think back to Chicago 2008... I was at the show the following night that most of the Borderers where there... that was an amazing show! So many new songs, so many songs period, so much energy, I think it was a four song encore... I'm mean, that's what I'm looking for again. Can history repeat itself?

I feel bad that so many fans are getting the shortened set list this leg.

Wow, they lost alot of fans... only half of the 15000 were there.

Very sad indeed!
But I can well understand your reasons!

Yes Soda, I was looking forward to it... until I've read about the set list. I was thinking and thinking, not sure if I still REALLY want to go and made that decision. Maybe I'll regret it, who knows. Maybe I'll never get to see them again. But it is what it is. Its too little what I get for the high ticket price. And not only that... I have to pay for hotel and train. Ok, I knew that, but its all too much. I've already sent Koala a PM, too bad I don't meet her. Hope you don't hate me for my decision.

I thought I posted here this morning, but hmmmmm......

I agree, too. If they are going to drop songs, make it solo songs. I would love to go to their solo shows to see solo songs, but at Eagles concerts, lets have Eagles songs. Or like WF said, one solo song each.

We are all used to hearing about 30 songs at a concert. Or we were. I understand they are getting older. Maybe they just physically can't do that many any more. But if not, drop the solo stuff. Not the Eagles hits. And it would be nice to see a couple off of LROOE. Don seems to be the only one willing to get out and tour solo. He is putting out the new albums and singing with others on theirs. Evidently he's not ready to call it quits. Tim did a small tour, but Joe and Glenn....................should I say it? Fading in to obscurity?

If they are going to tour in the states again, I think I would go see them one more time. I hope they don't decide to do the Vegas deal and just perform out there at casinos like Elton John and Celine Dion, cause I probably won't be able to go that far.

ETA: Maybe all this talk should have it's own thread. Most of these posts should go in it. Oh fearless leader............
