Looks like The Band is on a full fledged tour next year! How do you feel about that?

I appreciate the answers to my own particular question. I was curious how fans would feel if there was evidence he would approve of this. It's done quite often now, although I'm not sure how often this happens when a founding member has passed on. Quite a few bands are touring without someone who was an integral band member.

Moonrambler, in light of what I posted:

Glenn threatened to go to the press and say we weren't the Eagles without him.

How would you feel about the "Eagles" continuing without Glenn if you knew for a fact that he did NOT wish them to do so?

I leave that question open to any supporters of this "new lineup."

PS. Good to see you again!

Excellent question, Soda. I don't believe in all our discussions, the question has ever been asked in reverse like this.

And WB from me too, MR. Hope all has been well with you. With regard to bands bringing in replacements, I think each situation is different. In the case of the Eagles, if this had happened early in their careers before the band's legacy was well- established, I believe I would have been okay with it albeit very sad. But, in the twilight of the band's career when they have nothing to gain but a bigger bank account, NO WAY! I would have felt the same way if it had been any of the remaining members. But, this is particularly true of Don and Glenn who were the only remaining founding members and the ones responsible for writing and singing the band's most memorable songs. As I've said several times ... to quote Kenny R. - "you got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em'.

Thank you, Soda and Dreamer.

I am uncomfortable about the band touring in this version as Eagles and have not gone to a concert. I think I can understand why they feel compelled to do so and don't think it's just a money grab. Being Eagles is their life to a large extent.

To me, they do not seem like Eagles without Glenn. I had a difficult enough time accepting the band as Eagles each time a band member left voluntarily.

If we knew for a fact that Glenn did not want them to continue touring under the band name without him, then I would be completely against it. I honestly don't think that's the case, though or I doubt that his wife and son would have gone along with it.

At this point, most bands of that era have lost someone, and a lot of them have continued to tour under the band name anyway. I don't know how their biggest fans generally feel about it, though, because I don't pay attention. For instance, with the movie last year, it highlights the fact that Queen tours without Freddie. Before they started doing that, I couldn't imagine they ever would. But then again, Freddie was not a founding member.

I'm not so sure, moonrambler.

I think if the money was right, they might just change their minds!
