I'm listening to a bootleg recording of the Houston 11/76 concert and I sure wish they would do the 11 minute version of Witchy Woman. I love the long guitar intro!! I could listen to it all day long! So great!!!

I just remembered another similar topic we had going awhile back about our DREAM SETLISTS. Here's a link for some of the new members that want to give theirs also.

Interesting that this topic and that one were both started by me. I must have something about setlists.
And I wanted to find my dream setlist to see how close I am to what I put here as what I think needs to be changed for this tour earlier this morning. This one is from 2009 and apparently I thought differently than I do now about solo stuff and Desperado.

Rocky Mountain Way needs to STAY! That should NEVER be dropped from the set list!
I hope they don't stick to a 'hard' chronological set list, and I really doubt that they will. I think it's much more important for them to set the correct tone throughout the show, with slow songs and rockers where they should be. I'm sure they will do that.

And I dream I'm on vacation 'Cause I like the way that sounds,
It's a perfect occupation for me.
I started to write a list and, honestly, I just can't do it! I am completely torn between the songs I would love to hear in my own fantasy land (eg: some of the deeper cuts, like Hollywood Waltz, Wasted Time, The Sad Cafe and After the Thrill is Gone) and the songs that we all know they have to play. It will be hard for them to narrow it down and play some different stuff, whilst keeping in all of the songs that people expect to hear. For this reason, I reckon they might just cut out all of the solo stuff. Surely a History of the Eagles tour should just include band songs? I have a feeling they will put in some of the 'pivotal' songs in the band's history... such as Get Over It. It's not my favourite song and it wouldn't be in my personal setlist, but I can see them throwing it in there because it was the first song that Don and Glenn wrote together after all those years. At least they could rock out with that one.
The chronological idea is an interesting one. I like it as a concept but, as PM said, I wonder whether they could keep the show balanced enough between the different vocalists and the slow/uptempo tracks... Plus, what would they end with? I would be surprised if it was entirely chronological all the way through. Still, I am open to surprises! I'm just excited that this is even happening and that we are (presumably) going to hear and see songs performed that haven't been performed for a long time.

Very well said, Troub! I haven't had time to contemplate my list yet but I see where you're coming from.
I also think they should do away with the solo songs because it is the History of the Eagles tour. We can see them do their solo songs on their own tours. I know this brings up the Joe problem, but since they have performed Life's Been Good and Rocky Mountain Way since Joe joined (and even before he was an Eagle) then I would allow those two.
More later!

I'm actually open to anything since I've yet to see them. I can definitely relate to fans who have seen them multiple times who would rather not hear the same ol' songs. I think if they played After The Thrill Is Gone I'd be in high heaven. I'd also love to see Don sing Heart of the Matter.
