Final tribute for Glenn. Will there be one and if so, how should it be done?

[Brooke]

There a lots of ways to do a tribute to someone. Do you think the Eagles Grammy performance is enough and if not, what should be done?

I'm not sure I want to see the remaining guys up there with someone filling in for Glenn. Jackson did a fine job at the Grammy's, but I wonder if they would really want to do a whole concert. Maybe they have plans for something, but so far, nothing has been mentioned.

Lots of tributes have other bands/musicians doing the performing with the remaining members in the audience. What do you think?

This is just my opinion, and I know not everyone will agree, but I would almost rather not see a tribute right now. I feel like it's still too early after Glenn's passing. I just can't envision it - the guys up there with a "replacement Glenn" and they would obviously be solemn and the songs wouldn't have the same feelings behind them.

I think at this point everyone is still going through a different stage of grief, and that includes the fans, members of the band and of course Glenn's family and friends. I think it will take a long time for everyone to come together and even be able to think about how to do a public tribute. (I know there was a private tribute already)

Personally, what is getting me through this stage is listening/watching videos of old performances from the 70s because that is how I want to remember Glenn and that is what brings me joy now. If they did a tribute now, I don't think I'd be able to watch it. Maybe a year from now I'll think differently.

I would like to see a tribute to Glenn at some point - maybe in a year or so when it's not so raw and emotional. Their performance at the Grammys was so emotional, and I really hope that in time, they will think about doing something.

I think something like the private tribute would be good - different bands/singers telling stories and playing songs that connected them with Glenn and how he influenced their lives and then ending maybe with the band themselves playing their favourite songs mixed in with stories etc.

I would also love to hear Don's eulogy and the song Joe wrote for Glenn from the private tribute.

I personally hope if/when there is one they do it similar to "The Concert for George". It was held exactly a year after George Harrison passed in 2002 and organized by his wife Olivia, their son Dhani, Jeff Lynne, and I think Paul McCartney, Ringo, and Eric Clapton. Olivia had a speech as did others, and the rest performed Geroge's and Beatles songs with a variety of other well known musicians. Paul still does the same tribute of singing "Something" while playing ukulele at his concerts and pictures of him and George together show behind him on the screen. I know the tribute was broadcasted on TV (which is how I saw it) but I can't remember if it was live or it aired before the DVD release date the following year. All the proceeds went to charities too. I loved getting to watch that concert and it helped me as George was my favorite Beatle and huge part of my life too and would love if Glenn has the same.

I was there! It was a magical event , and I agree, I'd love to see something like that for Glenn. I was at the Freddie Mercury one too.

I would like to see something similar like the concert for George. It had A bunch of diffrent guys like Clapton Jeff Lynye etc Dhani Harrison and Paul and Ringo. So maybe you something like that with people like

Bob Segear
Jackson
JD Souther
Glenn's son Deacon
The rest of the band (Including Felder but it's far fetched)
and a group of backing musicians.

[Glennsallnighter]

I would like to see a tribute to Glenn at some stage and perhaps involving the other guys and other musicians who were a part of Glenn 's life. However I would like it ti be thoughtfully and tastefully done. Early next year perhaps - as Lacken says it is still too raw and emotional at present.
I would also love if the band were to bring out some sort of memorial souvenir to Glenn or possibly release all his studio albums as a CD or Vinyl box set with perhaps some photos and/or quotes of his. Perhaps for the Christmas market which would coincide with his first Anniversary too.

It remains to be seen what if anything will be done but IMHO there are a lot of fans still grieving who would like to see some sort of tribute that they too can participate in

[MaryCalifornia]

I agree with all of this, and I'd like to add Linda Ronstadt and Stevie Nicks, though I know Linda can't participate.

I totally agree with you. To be included would be nice if
was asked and Bernie to join Joe on guitar. A lot has to be done in members personal life before anything can take place. But, if a band goes on a tour it should be very well done as maybe the tour of Hell Freezes Over, but it is basically iin Don's hands to descide. Either way it would be a very emotional tour. It may help the members of the band as the fans to grieve and help heal.

It should be a one off show, not a tour.
