Eagles HOTE Tour Discussion (2013 - 2015)

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Catching up on this thread after a long hiatus. How did we get from the HOTE tour to a mythological discussion about a tour for the 40th anniversary of HC? I really think that if the discussion needs to continue, a new thread should be started. This thread is about an actual tour that deserves to be discussed.

It happened because the title of the thread was changed to say (2013 -?) so people started speculating on what they would do next.

I think that that is my fault. When talking about what they might do next, I said that I wondered if they would tour for the 40th anniversary of HC. I apologize for derailing the thread.

It hasn't changed since it was created. If it helps, I'll change it now.

ETA: FP you were right, it was changed. Originally it said just 2013. It was changed to the ? in June 2013.

Sorry, I hadn't noticed, but a new thread would probably be appropriate now that this tour has finished.

I think a new thread might be a good idea. Obviously the focus has changed as the HOTE tour is now over and the speculation is on what will follow. Also for new people to the board, a lot is missed when there are 60+ pages to trawl through, wheres a new thread makes it more of a bite sized chunk.

I remember, Joe in particular, was pretty insistent that the Eagles needed to change their set list after their previous tour ended. Nobody has said that the HOTE has run it's course. It has ended to allow Don to promote his new album, which was due to be released in 2014.

If the Eagles resist the temptation to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Hotel California, next year, they could return to the HOTE set list, particularly if they want to retain the services of Bernie Leadon.

Logic says that, after a break of, at least, 8 or so months and with new music in the can, they'll move onto a new chapter.

Well, Don has said it several times. In an interview and many times from stage. That being said, he also said it in the spring of 2014 (but did clarify he meant the US). There are quite a few here who do not believe it's really over which is why I had not put the '2015' on the thread title until now. It's fine to discuss the continuation of this tour here.

Whether this is the end of the HotE tour remains to be seen AFAIC. I know it has been said that it is, but I also know that the band likes to regroup at the beginning of each year to ponder their future. And I also know that the band has been known to change their minds. It may be wishful thinking on my part, but I'm one that wants to wait and see what happens next. No offense VA, but I would personally be ecstatic if you had to go back and reinstate that in the title of this thread.

And yeah - I agree that we should move the relevant posts into a new 40th anniversary Hotel California tour thread. VA, do you want to do that or do you want me to take care of it?

[VAisForEagleLovers]

I will do it. Meant to do it earlier, but got distracted with other things!

ETA: I moved them. Some of the discussion was around a residency, so I named the thread for both. A general discussion on what they should do next.
