    Even if that were true, though, the basic fact remains the same: without Glenn Frey's voice, without his artistic contribution, that band is not really the Eagles. It's three guys who used to be in the Eagles singing with Vince Gill and Glenn's son.



    I feel the same, except I know I won't change my mind about these shows. Maybe one day I'll want to go to a solo show again... but never one of these shows.
    Soda, exactly how I feel.

    Soda - I have bolded your thought to say that is what I would expect Don, Tim and Joe to say. How else can they legitimize their continuing after Don's saying over and over for an entire year that the band was over, that you can't go on without the guy who founded the band. It is the only way to make it legitimate and have the fans, or most fans accept it.

    I agree, but that doesn't mean Glenn would have hated this iteration of the Eagles. There's no way of knowing how he would have felt, but it's hard to imagine he would have disliked seeing his son Deacon with his old band mates and his friend Vince Gill. No, it's not the same as the Eagles with Glenn, but the group sounds great and they seem to be having a great time. Except Deacon, they're in (or approaching, for Vince) their twilight years, and of course they won't be doing it much longer. If nothing else, I love seeing the smiles on the guys' faces when they're up their together.


    ETA: This quote from Joe Walsh in the Michigan News-Herald seemed related:

    “So we figured we would at least try it and see where it went and we worked on it and thought it through and we tried it out in Los Angeles and it was just magic. It really was. It was received wonderfully and the energy that we all have is very, very healing, so I think Glenn would be proud of this and we decided to do it some more.”

    So agree with you on all of this!

    I had forgotten about the part I bolded! But, also, Glenn told Bernie that this isn't over at the last HotE show. So, by then, he had not decided to quit yet.

    It's all speculation.

    He did not know they were going to continue without him.

    Couldn't agree more.

    No one will convince me that Glenn would have been for this OR that he would have wanted it or would have continued the band if something happened to Don.
