Islander Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Not a single date in Canada? That's disappointing. I saw the Eagles twice, once at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto in 1977, and once at Exhibition Stadium, also in Toronto, in 1980, I think. Very good shows. Have you seen any 2-generation bands? Arlo Guthrie's middle-aged son plays keyboards in his band, and Randy Bachman's grey-haired son plays 2nd guitar in his dad's band, which may or may not be called BTO. Tal Bachman had just the one hit, unfortunately, She's So High. It was a good song, and he deserved more success, but rock and roll's a crazy game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1291 Posted July 8, 2023 Author Share Posted July 8, 2023 Welllllll, that @001 is reading again, which is good. Lightens my load in here. Their ain't gonna be no more. Think what you may but factor in this. This is the way to go out. The RIGHT way to treat their fan base, which is HUGE or maybe I'm wrong? It's the way they roll and remember I'm from Ohio and I'm ancient. I've seen a thing or two and KNOW a thing or three. Life's about respect imo. They began the "Hotel California" tour w/an 11 stop pre-tour just to get the feel. Full orchestra and full choir @ EVERY stop. Additionally EVERY former member of the band played those stops with the exception of Glenn Frey and Bernie Leadon. I flew into Phoenix and had a date w/my youngest who knew every darn song they did by heart. She was amazed at the show done by a bunch of old guys. lol She's learnin thank God! Had one of the best times of my life that nite with her. Simple. Then comes the tour after that w/zero downtime cause they hit every stop on the planet paying back to the fans. Their best album EVER! A wallet rape? It takes a huge amount of money to tour and they basically make some money. Then after that Joe's out doing his Vets Aid gigs and killin it donating the money to his foundation. Just like he promised he would when he started it. Now we're into the final run of "The Eagles" as we know it. Couple all that up w/Steely Dan playing with them??? It's a darn no-brainer for a show. Joe's almost 77 and for the last 10 years he's been bustin his balls fulfilling EVERY promise he's ever made (that he can remember lol). Joe has NEVER made an idle promise that I know of. In fact, when he did his Vets Aid show in Columbus. It wasn't just Joe but he brought back his original band The James Gang one last time. They flat out killed it! He also brought in some great bands from Ohio one of which was The Black Keys from Akron. Check 'em out if you haven't heard them. I also know he fulfilled a promise he made years ago to a guy to play at the Toldeo Zoo??? A 2-3k seat venue outside. Yup, he sucked it up, lost money but fulfilled his promise. That's Joe! Check me out if ya wanna. Have at it cause I'm laffin. The reason he played there most prolly isn't there. A promise is a promise to him. Period. I really debated on posting this but we're ALL in this together for ONE reason or maybe i'm wrong on that. lol This is it. Hit their site, make the drive and enjoy the show cause it's gonna be one heck of a bittersweet moment for me. They're never gonna stop and there could be some spot gigs down the road but the tours are done. Joe will play anywhere for money. lolol That's Joe! Choose your poison wisely. Drop the cash and take your wife or whoever and enjoy the show and re-live the memories. Like it,or laff at it cause I don't care. I'm already in. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't even looked at the tour stops yet but it sounds logical. I got the word this spring about Cleveland but nothing then about a full blown tour. So dunno.

Jeff Matthews Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Depends on what develops, but I could possibly consider going to the Denver show or something. I imagine the shows will sell out quickly. That's kind of an issue because it means I will have to be decisive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck115 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 I hope they release a Blu-ray DVD from this concert tour, I will certainly buy it. I have the Blu-ray of the Eagles Farewell Tour (1) from Sidney, the last one with Glenn Frey. I also have the Eagles "Live From The Forum 2018" on Blu-ray, which included Deacon Frey and Vince Gill, great concert!!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1291 Posted July 8, 2023 Author Share Posted July 8, 2023 @Buck115 I think the Forum was a box set maybe but can't remember w/o looking. The lp's are dialed right in as I recall. I can't see them not having something out there but who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YK Thom Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Sounds like a show for the ages, I'll keep my eyes peeled for any western Canada dates that may materialize down the road. Would be worth a flight to either Edmonton or Calgary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
