It always makes me chuckle a bit when someone posting in a thread asks why it's still going. You're answering your own question!
Still, it is true there is more than one thread on this topic. I suppose it could be merged with Eagles 3.0, but the problem is that this thread was started before all of that.... I'll think about it.
Lol, I realize making a comment means that I'm doing my own part...but maybe if someone spoke up...if I may offer a suggestion, I think that this topic really is different from the Classic Concert/Eagles 3.0 discussion but it started veering off...in my view perhaps it should stay separate but closed. Although if anyone had any more insight about the actual question "Will they play again", it would be unfortunate to not be able to read/discuss it.

Positively, I hope it's the greatest day(s) of Deacons's life... so far.
I think the question "Will they play again?" is almost certain to crop up again. Certainly this August. It looks like they will.
I'm interested to see what changes, if any, now Glenn's no longer running the show, will occur. Such as, Will all the band still be on stage at all times during the concert? Will they adopt a policy to always play at least one new or previously not performed track?
Being a member of a legendary band that has some fans questionining "what's next" and not in a positive tone e.g. more "Replacement Children"? is a legitimate concern as is the question of will Glenn's replacement make more than TBS, SS and JW or at least as much as DH? What about Guest Artists? How do they fit into revising the band's policy to compensate for the use of their "talent" to supplement the Eagles brand? And lets not forget merchandise sales/licensing how is that going to work out with some of the big names we've seen as potential additions e.g. Seger, Browne, Souther, etc?
What's happening in August?
The Classic concerts will be over and the question. Will they play again will surface again.
I've no idea what the incoming guests are going to contribute. Henley is still singing and writing great, Tim's voice is getting better with age and Joe's guitar playing is still exceptional. I hope the live set list shifts to reflect and highlight these attributes, dragging them out of the legacy market.
I don't think Deacon is a being lined up as a direct replacement for Glenn. A precedent will be set though. Don, Joe and Tim all have musical offspring too. I wonder if they're now making preparations to become future Eagles. :
It was Henley's wedding anniversary yesterday. I'm guessing that that was the last time all the band got together outside Eagles obligations, which will happen again, this year, at Henley's birthday party. It'd be great to see them playing together again outside the confines of the band in the future. It happened lots in the 70s, very rarely, if at all, since HFO. There's even question marks about Long Road Out Of Eden!
