Gonna have to disagree TM..
Yes they should have a say, but ultimately whose to say they really knew what Glenn would have wanted done. From the sounds of it, he declined so quickly that there may not have even been a chance to discuss the Eagles going forward. If that was the case, they could still be choosing something that would have upset Glenn....
I hope DH and Irving did ask Cindy, but even still, that doesn't make what they are doing right to me and some others here, and that's just the way it is.
Glenn and Don are/were irreplaceable. You could replace darn near every member but those two and still have it be the Eagles. Trust me, I hated that fact when Felder was ejected. But it didn't slow ticket sales any. People that were only casual fans may not have even noticed. But you get someone who was the frontman/singer, and it's a different story. I've always had a problem with them hogging the spotlight and attention, but it is what it is. That said, Glenn and Don were/are the Eagles no matter who else was there. The reverse is not true.
WF - I agree.......
I agree too, WF.
The Allman Brothers situation was different though. They were a young, newly successful band and their leader was accidently killed. The Eagles are 45 years in and their leader died unexpectedly. Time makes a big difference here.

Sure makes it sound like this isn't just two shows... "forever"...In other words, the "Eagles" are going to keep at it after Classic East/West, just as I predicted.Added Henley, “He doesn’t have to do this forever. Someday, if he decides to write his own songs and have his own band, we’ll be the first to support him. But this is a good way to break in.”
That phrase wouldn't have been used for just TWO SHOWS...
And FTR, I don't see Vince Gill giving up his solo work and touring, so maybe they'll either coexist or he'll drop out at some point.
I see Deacon singing the "rockin'" Glenn songs, and Vince singing the smoother countrier numbers. Vince doesn't have a very convincing rock voice IMO. Too smooth and twangy.
Still, not cool and a thumbs down from me.
