    Well, I meant what I said there about ticket prices too. People are willing to pay those prices, so it's hardly surprising that the faux Eagles are charging what they can get. There are obviously plenty of people who will shell out for this glorified cover band without hesitation. If it says "EAGLES" on the marquee, they'll go.

    How many times have we heard it? "I want to see the EAGLES" - that's all the matters. Who cares who's in the band?

    MAYBE people wouldn't want to see an Eagles without Don Henley. Hard to say. After all, I used to say no one would want to see the Eagles without Glenn Frey and I was proven wrong. Nothing would surprise me anymore.

    Because this "EAGLES" isn't a BAND anymore. It's a BRAND.

    Wow Soda! As our dearly departed Eagle used to say, "That about clocks it."

    I have been wondering about Don Henley ever since I first read your post.

    He has to know or at least suspect he is as expendable as Glenn Frey. The only question I have is who would the brand get to replace him? Family? Their long time touring drummer?

    Hi Dawn - There are plenty of Eagles Tribute Bands who have singers who sound/sing almost as good as Don. He could be just as replaceable as Glenn. However, would Joe and Tim do that ? They are both 70 now. I think when Don retires that will be it for the so called Eagles. I believe had Don passed instead of Glenn we would not be discussing this. He would have called it quits. We know Will is supposed to be a good drummer. But have we heard anything about whether any of his three kids can sing ? Look at Journey, they found a kid on you tube who sounds almost like Steve Perry.

    Hi NKIT! You make some good points. Personally I can't really see Joe or Tim wanting to continue without Henley but then again if they are healthy and still able to perform at a level that meets their demands/expectations who knows, this could go on indefinitly.

    Well EIK, have you heard every single one of them ? I have friends who have gone to see three tribute bands and told me the guy who sang Don's songs sounded almost exactly like him. His voice is not that unusual that someone could not be found who sounds like him.

    I have never seen a tribute band but my friends who saw those tribute bands could not get over how much the guy who sang Don's songs sounded like him.

    I don't want to argue over this. So, have a great new year.
