    First of all, I love that picture - it is hilarious! And thank you, VA and soda for a very intelligent debate. You both make some very excellent arguments, IMO, and I can see legitimacy in both viewpoints. Bottom line for me is I don't have a problem with the band's policy, but I do have a problem if the delivery of the message comes across as condescending, parental, or harsh.

    I'm going to repost part of what I wrote in my review of my last show that I saw in D.C. because that was the one show I remember where I felt the band handled things perfectly. Here's some of what I wrote ...

It’s time to get up and move your body.’ The audience got up, yelled and applauded, and remained standing for the rest of the show.

    I didn’t hear anyone complaining at all. I’m actually okay with their policy as long as they make it clear like they did that night. I just don’t like it when they reprimand the audience or leave it up to the audience to guess when or if it’s okay to stand. Are there other songs that I would personally like to stand for earlier in the show – Yes. But, I can live with the way it was handled in D.C. – it’s a good compromise. Those who want to sit (or are short like me) get to see a good portion of the show without their view being obstructed, but you also get a chance to rock out for a good while at the end.

    Uh-Oh!! A back-and-forth between two of my faves! All stuff we've already read and knew, but UCR is making it out to be a war of sorts.

    Yep - nothing like spicing things up with some journalistic sensationalism!

    Not strictly the press but my second favourite guitarist ever has just said this about my favourite ever! Glad to know he's a Joe Walsh fan!

    New Zealand Herald piece / interview with Henley. In it he hits back at claims from Robert Plant that they reunited because they were 'bored'. Makes for a decent read. RS has a similar article which is just an abridged version with the typical anti-Eagles comments.

    No matter how hard I try I can't imagine Don using the word 'mate'

    What did the doco mean to you? Was it like a weight off your shoulders?
    Actually we left a lot of things out, mate.
    It's a word that gets a lot of usage in certain parts of the UK - but is it also used in US? somehow it just doesn't seem right.....

    It's widely used in Australia, so presumably New Zealand, too. Maybe he was just trying a bit of localisation.

    Ahh Yes, I suppose so......I still think it would've sounded weird coming from Don though!

    I found this article on Facebook. 20 years ago today, The Eagles performed their first show together on the HFO tour in Irvine, CA.
