    Default What song(s) absolutely should NOT be cut from setlist

    We have a couple threads about setlist, songs want to see come back and songs that we want added that have never been in a setlist. After the discussion in the NYC thread regarding the very obvious omission of TIE I thought let's see what everyone thinks of songs that absolutely CANNOT be cut in and Eagles setlist! We have lots of them that have been around for very long times.

    Have at it!!!

    Well for me the top of the list is HC and TIE. Those just cannot be dropped... I'd probably add Desperado in there too. Those are dealbreakers for me. If I heard HC and TIE were being dropped, I definitely wouldn't go.

    The other songs that are undroppable IMO have already been dropped. AG, for instance. I was bummed out when I didn't hear it back in '08.

    We've already said about the solo songs and we all have feelings on that but I think LBG shouldn't be dropped cuz as I've said many times, it's a classic Eagles song to me. Eagles Live version just still gives me chills. That said, it wouldn't be a dealbreaker if all the other solo songs were dropped with it, but doing other solo songs (RMW, TBOS, etc) and not LBG would be a problem for me anyway. LBG is "the" song that Joe does AFAIC. But having the harmony vocals and dueling guitars really makes it all the more special to me. That riff is still my favorite of all time and the whole lyric content really fits the band to me for some reason.

    Like I said in the other thread, if they get to where they can only do two songs, these are the two. I feel another rant coming on, so I'll just hit 'Submit Reply' now and go eat some lunch.

    I cannot even fathom a show without TIE or HC. Those two should never, ever, be dropped. I would be very disappointed.

    Hotel California & Take It Easy shouldn't be dropped. I suppose most people would say Desperado but I could live without it. What I probably could not live without, given that we no longer have AG, TS or NKIT, is Lyin' Eyes. Dropping that for me would be unthinkable. And that is it, really. I could add Heartache Tonight, but I've already seen a solo show without that. I think the entire setlist needs to be looked at.

    well...you can probably guess which song I'm going to say should not be cut from the setlist..."I Can't Tell You Why"...otherwise Timothy won't have anything to do all night!

    but I also would hate to see "Life In The Fast Lane" taken off too...

    Apart from the 3 obvious classics that timothy b fan mentioned I reckon one of these nights life in the fast lane heartache tonight already gone victim of love if randy was still in the band and doing take it to the limit I would say that should never be dropped but since glenn does it I wouldn't mind either way as his version with no disrespect intended isn't a patch on randys and somebody should be a stayer too as I love those songs mentioned

    And which songs would you drop?

    I have said for years that I would drop The Long Run, In The City & the solo songs with the possible exception of BOS & RMW.

    I make no apologies for wanting Tequila Sunrise, Already Gone & New Kid In Town back.

    Of the LROOE songs which were previously played I want the title track & Somebody (it is missing from HH's setlist; I when I saw it they played it after LROOE), plus Waiting In The Weeds, I guess.

    I want the following deep tracks; Outlaw Man, Ol '55, King Of Hollywood, Get Over It, The Girl From Yesterday ( remember I saw this done solo in March) and (from LROOE) It's Your World Now and/or You Are Not Alone, which I was very lucky to see performed in 2011.

    Witchy Woman is what I am looking forward to.
    Huge fan of the great music of the 70's and 80's especially the Eagles.
