Eagles/Fleetwood Mac Tour

dontlookdown · #1 05-13-2004, 12:35 PM

I read here a few weeks ago that someone heard a quote from Lindsey saying that maybe they'll do a tour with the Eagles.
I took this as sarcasm from Lindsey but someone thought otherwise.

Anyone know anything about this.

I know in the early days there was some competition between the bands and more than a little animosity between Lindsey and Don Henley. (That's long past - Lindsey has done some playing and singing on Henley's solo albums).

I got the Very Best of the Eagles recently and realized how great some of those old songs are. (Although I'm not sure their stuff holds up as well as Fleetwood Mac's old songs).

Also - Don Felder is no longer in the Eagles - for me that would be like a Buckingham-less FM tour.

Competition between bands? Or is that Stevie's fault?

I think being around 2 ex-lovers everyday would max anyones tolerance level, I can't imagine adding another 2/3, so I doubt Stevie would be particularly enamored with this touring idea.

Well, they did it back in the '70's....
Stranger things have happened these days!!!
You never know...

YES. Don Felder is sooo underated, much like Lindsey.
IMO, he blows Joe Walsh off the stage.

LOL! Good point. Stevie would be touring with three exes.

Don't forget Mick....Lindsey, Mick, Don, Joe, Stevie...all on one stage. Woo...there'd be some interesting group dynamics there.

Ah, I didn't know Joe was back with the Eagles. So that would make four ex-partners. That would be pretty wild. That's some serious rock & roll going on there.

I don't think Joe ever left(did he?). Of course, they fired Don Felder.

Yeah, I think Joe has been a constant for a long while now with them.

By the way, I know that sometimes The Eagles aren't exactly regarded with much of anything on this board, but I saw them last year and they were really really good. Okay, okay...they aren't the Mac, and sure, many of the songs sound like they did on the albums twenty five years ago...but I have to say, they put on a great show and I'd see them again if I have the chance.

I don't think this could ever happen as there are way too many giant egos involved. Who would headline?

Janet · #12 05-16-2004, 09:54 AM

Why was he fired from the Eagles?

I think it would be weird for Stevie to have that many ex's with her on tour, but yet again, in her day, I'm sure they were all sharing love and she's had to share the stage with many ex's, ones we don't even know about. It was the 70's and she was a single, gorgeous rock star.

But I wouldn't want her doing sweet songs with Henley and then one with Lindsey...ewwww. That would just be wrong!

( I know she's done stuff with Don live within the past 10 years, but wasn't Lindsey there for one??)

I think their songs hold up fine, but they never had near the variety that Mac songs can offer.

I don't think they ever officially said why. But, he's an awesome guitar player, so I'm assuming it could only be "personality" issues.
