    At least with Take It Easy you leave on a high & the entire band is showcased, not just one of them. I have always felt that this song should close the show. I know they can't drop Desperado but as someone said they could play it when they play the other songs from that album; and it should feature Don on drums & Glenn on piano.

    I linked to this in another thread, but I found a couple articles written from the perspective of musicians that discuss what you should consider when you're trying to structure a setlist:

    http://www.joelmabus.com/composing_a_set_list.htm

    http://www.roland.co.uk/musicindustr...800007667.aspx

    The second one seems to agree that it's good to end with something uptempo, which goes with the idea of ending with something like "Take It Easy."

    Take It Easy is my biggest complaint about the setlist, but my second and only other complaint is how they ignore Long Road Out Eden!

    That album surprised me by how good it was. songs like (obvioulsy) How Long, Busy Being Fabulous and Guilty Of The Crime would be solid additions and freshen things up a bit, i think.

    Yeah, it seems that the majority, at least here, feel that TIE would work best last in the actual setlist structure.

    As for LROOE (and I agree), if you want to talk more about what you'd like to see added, go here:

    Not much I can add here, but have always thought TIE should be the closer. And Desperado should go with the other songs from that album.

    I think, as some others do, that TIE gets the whole band involved, not just Don. Plus it's my favorite song of the Eagles.

    Glenn finished with Take it Easy in Niagara Falls 3 years ago, and I still left the arena in floods!!

    I was wondering where to post this, it kinda fits here plus I don't mind semi-derailing my own thread:

    I posted elsewhere a couple of weeks ago that Lyin' Eyes was one of very few Eagles songs I could think of that has never been dropped. Saying that got me thinking about what the other songs in that category would be. I got:
    Take It Easy, Desperado, OOTN, Lyin' Eyes, Hotel California, LITFL, Heartache Tonight, ICTYW, In the City, LWKUA.

    I'm a bit unsure on some - TIE and LITFL aren't on the Houston bootleg, and I don't know if Already Gone was permanent until it vanished in the LROOE era.

    (My criteria generally are missing for a tour or significant length of time.)

    Anyone able to help?

    LWKUA was dropped when they cut out the acoustic portion of the show during the LROOE period.

    Interesting - I didn't realize OOTN had been in the setlist so consistently!

    Every concert I have been to including Glenn's solo ones have included 'lying Eyes' and 'Peaceful Easy Feeling' at least!!
