Bew Kid In Town they filmed several shows for the HOTE tour. Most bands who are huge film every show of a tour. Thats specifically why they have those big screens if you are far back in the venue
I wonder what songs Descon will sing. Based on what the interview said it would be like
Deacon would sing
Heartache Tonight
Take It Easy
Already Gone
Doolin Dalton.
Vince I think will take
Peaceful Easy Feeling(This is a given)
Tequila Sunrise
New Kid In Town
Lyin Eyes
I'm not sure it's given that Vince will sing PEF. I know he's sung it a few times, but didn't Deacon sing it at Glenn's memorial service/concert? I believe there were some very positive comments about his performance at that time. If they sing Doolin' Dalton, I wouldn't be surprised if Vince sings it. He has a pretty high tenor voice. It's conceivable that Vince could do TITTL, if they decide to perform that song.
I also wonder who will sing what and how many songs of Glenn's they will sing. I wonder if Deacon will sing any original songs or covers that the Eagles have never performed?
Though, it must be said that the country out today is NOT your grandaddy's country. It's actually more of a classic rock throwback with some EDM-flavored pop and hiphop throw in for good measure. I actually love it, but it's a far cry from Vince's style. Cass County, I think, mostly sold to older people who still buy records and maybe a few younger people that like that kind of music.
But the country today that is "hot" is nothing like the country of even a decade ago. And in the last decade we've seen a shift from the southern rock thing (Jason Aldean's Hicktown and She's Country) to very pop oriented (Thomas Rhett's Crash and Burn and T-Shirt). And not to forget the hip hop influence in it on songs like Jason Aldean's 1994 or Luke Bryan's That's My Kind Of Night.
So I don't necessarily think they are bringing Gill along to appeal to a younger crowd. If anything, Deacon would be the one they'd most be interested in.
But Vince is known for the more dyed in the wool country/western music of the 90s and prior... The more pore country. I'm not a fan of classic country so much.
But yes, you are totally right that country and pop are what is hot right now. It's just not the kind of country Vince Gill would play. "How Long", is more traditional leaning and right up Vince's alley, but it's not what young people listen to now.
I agree.
Strangely I was just revisiting a conversation with Don and Glenn by Cameron Crowe in August 2003. Glenn was so proud of New Kid in Town winning a Grammy for best vocal arrangement.

Has anyone heard if there is a possibility of live streaming these concerts? I for one would be more than willing to pay to see them live. It's killing me that I'm not going to the west coast show.
Woodstock, I haven't heard anything yet - but I wouldn't count it out. Still, they might be hesitant to announce a livestream for fear it would hurt sales.
As well he should be. Such a magnificent song.
This idea that these incredible songs only live on if they're played in concert is so laughable. They live on because they're listened to by people on their headphones or on their stereos when they need to hear it, because they affect people, because they make people's lives better even if just for a few minutes..... not because those people hike out to some festival or arena and pay hundreds of dollars to hear someone who's not Glenn sing what will essentially sound like a cover version.
