Isn't Joe going to be playing at the Vegas House of Blues that night?

I just saw Variety's article about it too and an official announcement is supposed to be made tomorrow. Wouldn't surprise me if more dates are coming too for other baseball stadiums.

If they do Fenway, I'm there in a heartbeat.

Y'all beat me to it !! The notification came up on my FB Page this morning. Well, we were all right that this is only the beginning. Don's comment about the West/East maybe being their last concerts was about as iron clad as they were done due to Glenn's passing. Based on comments I read from the FB post, most people can't wait for them to come to their town.
Dawn - thanks for the article ! I had read it long ago and was interesting to read again. I'll bet Irving has not changed much. Maybe refined his skills some.

SIDE NOTE: The weather here in NY/NJ has been hot and humid as hell for the last 1 1/2 weeks. The temps have been in the mid to high 90's with a heat index over 100 degrees. Who ever goes to the East this coming weekend needs to take care and dress for the heat. Also, our local NY newscasts have begun making announcements about massive security checks and to get to the ball park early. NY Police take security VERY SERIOUSLY and are, I feel, the best in the business. You can go to the park and feel very safe. They do not let anything by them. That also goes for NY/NJ Port Authority Police and NJ Transit Police. For those who will go by train/subway(#7 to Citi Field) be more concerned about delays than any kind of security problems. I take a train to work every day and feel safe.

It looks like Azoff has started a new "Classic" brand. Possibly Steely Dan were part of the plan before Walter Becker missed Classic West. This is another 50,000 seater which is quite a change from the HotE arena tours. It's one way of maintaining income while reducing the strain of touring. This stadium sounds pretty good with its umbrella canopy.

Yeah - in fact, as of today, they're still selling tickets for it. I'm assuming the HOB show is going to be called off, but they better get their act together!

Talk about unprofessional!

If I was looking forward to that HOB show, and it got called off because of a "Eagles" show (that I would despise), I'd be one mad person. Hopefully they'll make it right by those ticket holders.

I expected Joe's show to be cancelled but it hasn't, so now we're faced with the prospect of the Eagles playing a show without Joe.

If Steely Dan can play without Walter Becker, Eagles can play without Joe.

The question is, who will replace him?

Bernie Leadon, Don Felder, Chris Holt, Will Henley or maybe they'll just stick with what they've got, which I'd say is already guitar heavy.

Hmmm, I don't know about that. Joe is vital for kicking up an Eagles show a notch, from what I've watched and read from concert-goers. Walter Becker on the other hand, has been kind of a mess on stage lately.

I can't imagine the Eagles playing without Joe. Not only would Henley be the only original member, he also would be the only guy from the HC line-up. I don't mean to diss the others, but that's pushing it closer toward tribute band territory.

I'm all for bringing back Bernie and Don F, the latter if it's ok with Deacon (just to be clear, this is wishful thinking, not "stewing").
