    Oh wow! This boggles the mind! I love all the ideas so far! Perfect!

    I would like for Jackson Browne, JD Souther, and Linda Ronstadt (she will want to do this, and feel like it, even though she is ill) to be special guests!

    ETA: Great idea UtW!!

    Instead of chronologically as IABAD suggested, it'd be amazing if it was entirely random. Imagine finishing the first song and then one of ninety being potentially up next! Would be great to literally bounce from extremities like Heartache Tonight to Doolin-Dalton to Somebody to Earlybird then to Hotel California followed by Midnight Flyer...

    OK, Dreamer, if we're going for three days, which is a grand idea assuming it's a large jackpot that we've won, we have time for some special guests. Like Jackson Brown can sing TIE with them, and they could even sing a song like Running on Empty with him. Of course, I'd love to see Seger on a stage with them, talk about a personal musical nirvana! I'd be the happiest person in the world if that ever happened! JD Souther is an obvious choice as well.

    Of course, while free for all of us, except for the one who won, it would be a great opportunity for all to donate towards a charity chosen by each band member as 'payment' for the ticket.

    ETA: I won a dollar in last night's lottery...pretty sure that's not enough.

    Yep - I'm definitely cool with having those special guests. I'd also add Kenny Rogers, Jack Tempchin, and Joe Vitale.

    Life sure is good when $$ is not an issue!

    Out of interest, if a company does shell out the relevant amount of $ for the guys, do they get any option to request songs or setlist order etc or is it only Glenn and Co. who decide?

    Not sure - But based on setlists I've seen of private gigs, they are generally the standard 90-minute setlist. Maybe the clients gets to throw in a couple of requests, but for the most part, the band determines it. Of course, for the right price, I suspect they'll let the client make it up all by themselves.

    This sounds awesome! Someone try to win the lottery!
    People talking about us they got nothing else to do. When it all comes down we will still come through in the long run.

    haha this would be amazing!

    this sounds like it would be a really really long gig for the guys!
    they would need a lot of intermissions!

    Glenn already made a joke about that during the HotE tour
    If I can't have it all, just a taste will do...

    Definitely a 3-day event, catered and on the beach in Southern California.

    Day 1 menu would be casual, I think a clam bake would be perfect. Solo performances kicked off by Joe to get the party rockin', followed by Timothy, then Don. Would have Glenn wrap up the evening with a heavy emphasis on the After Hours catalog while everyone sips a special selection of cocktails -- Mai Tai's, Mojitos, Sex on the Beach and TEQUILA SUNRISES because when the music ends for the night the guys will party with us till dawn!

    Day 2 menu will be a Luau with an acoustic set where WE generate the set list because the guys take requests from us whether it's a collective band song or a solo work! And if that means they play some songs multiple times, so be it...it's my money.

    Day 3 will be on a bluff overlooking the beach/ocean. No bathing suits today please. There will be a fabulous buffet with plenty of champagne, native California wines, beer on tap and tons of soft drinks & bottled water. THIS will be the no-holds-barred, full-on EAGLES concert day. They'll play a few hours in the afternoon and then again all evening.

    Cell phones, cameras and dancing will be encouraged. AND the entire weekend will be made into a special DVD set for everyone who attends!

    By the way, did I mention that at the end of the weekend Timothy and I are leaving for a 2-week honeymoon in Hawaii?????
