Don and Stevie confirmed
 

Q104.3 had a phone call in from Don Henley. He confirmed that he indeed will be on tour with Stevie this summer!

Thanks for the info! Wonder if they'll do "The Highwayman"?

shouldn't i be a lot happier about this than i am?

Yay!

Nay!

Yay!

Nay!


I can't decide!

(I'll still go to a show here and there)

can't really say? when i found out that FM were doing the september shows, i nearly choked on a sandwich (in a good way) and that's just not the case...

maybe it's because i know that the tix prices will be outrageous? maybe it's because i know that i'll vomit in my mouth when he mumbles 'dirty laundry'? maybe it's because i know that i'm not going to get (what i consider to be) the full stevie concert experience?

i'll go anyways, i'll go to any/all shows within reasonable driving distance...
i also know that i won't be paying hundreds upon hundreds of dollars for my seat...

Thanks, for the info. I wonder when we will get dates and venue info. I have a feeling that it won't be a long tour if he is going to be back with The Eagles in August.

Did Don give out any info about how the shows were going to work? Are they going to do any duets together or something?

I will only attend if they come within comfortable driving distance.

I know - but it pretty much guaranteed they will come here to Atlanta as we have a variety of different size arenas and are a major market. But, I have to say, I do not plan to travel for this one. I mean China and Vegas have put a dent in the checking account already :laugh:

Hrmm....

Come to think about it, this tour might be good for me. There is a HUGE Don/Eagles fan base here. Stevie hasn't been here since the Wild Heart tour. This pairing could work to my advantage...and Krista could drive right on over to hang. :)


PLEASE COME TO WEST VIRGINIA......

So from the looks of things, it will probably be a mini-tour, huh? They better hit Florida, although I have a feeling they wont :mad:

Your best shot probably is Atlanta, where you are always welcome!!!!!! - or maybe Biloxi at the Casinos.

I wish that we had a little more info on this tour before I can decide if I want to see a show or not. I am not going to travel at all for this bill but I still wish that we knew more. I only want to go IF they play Providence but I doubt that. I am NOT going to travel to even Boston to see them.

I like Don Henley but I would rather see The Eagles and after seeing all of those Mac shows I have to say that this bill just seems kind of dull. I am sort of disappointed about this but maybe Stevie will even tour with The Mac. :laugh:

I am kind of wanting to see Joe Walsh solo this summer but I bet that he won't even come close to the east coast. :rolleyes:

Of course it is Lindsey that I want to see solo, too. :blob2:

Boy, I really wish we had some INKLING of what her show will be like. Just a TINY clue would do!! :shrug:

First of all, we need another box set release like Enchanted only with more unreleased demos, outtakes, rareities and B sides. Then at the shows she could do a few standards, a lot of ones she hasn't done it a long time and a few never heard before. Sound good? :nod:

I would go to one or two of those kinda shows, even if she doesn't get to be on stage for 2 hours.

Agreed on the Dirty Laundry thing.... GAG!!! (where's the puking green smiley when you need it?)

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

I'm on the same page as everyone else here. I'm having mixed feelings and even if I don't go to one of these shows then the fact that I will have just seen her in Vegas certainly softens the blow. I just think the whole thing sound uncomfortable. During Don's stuff all us Stevie fans will be miserable and during Stevie's stuff all of Don's fans will be in distress! I am confident she will also be doing some solo shows after this little tour with Don. I will go to as many of those as possible.

I am also fairly confident the songs she will be doing in Vegas will be a similar setlist to the songs she will be doing on tour with Don. So, the fact that I am going to Vegas makes me not crave this Don/Stevie tour as much.

You know what? I'll just take anything I can get. I'll be wanting to stick knitting needles in my eyes 'round about the time you all resurface with your Vegas reviews. So if I need to endure a little Don to get a lot of Stevie... I'm so there. My bet is on a mini-tour, too - maybe the month of July (which I've conveniently asked for off from work). The ticket prices will indeed be outrageous, but her touring years are fast fading... I'm not about to miss this...

I love "Dirty Laundry" I remember when it came out, It is that awful "Taking You Home" song that makes me want to GAG! :lol:

That is a sad thought.

Can everyone stop saying this please! She has shown no signs of slowing down. She has been involved in touring at least every other year since the Dance so why is everyone acting like she is going to be in a nursing home soon? She is just in her mid fifties for crying out loud. And 50 is the new 40, so let's look at it that way! If she was a man no one would be saying this. No one is saying it about Lindsey and just how old are the Rolling Stones anyway? I'm just saying that being in your 50s does not automatically mean that your living on borrowed time.

Lindsey's touring years are fading fast.

The Rolling Stones' touring years are fading fast.

Get over it.

Cash grab. :distress:

Oh, and that one might be a good reason, too. :laugh:

How are her touring years fading when she is touring more then ever these days? And I am not going to get over it. There is nothing to get under. She has not shown any decline in touring, if anything it's the opposite.

:nod: Much like i'm sure Don's decision to allow Lisa Marie Presley to record and release Dirty Laundry as the first single off of her new album was. Dissapointing.

How is it Don's decision to let Lisa Marie Presley release the song as a single?

I would assume (and of course, I could be wrong) that since it's his song, he probably owns the rights to it and he would have to be given compensation for allowing someone else to re-record his song much like Stevie made a lot of money from The Dixie Chicks version of Landslide. It's a cash grab...much like IMO, this tour will be.

Man, the riches they will accumulate on this tour will be mind boggling. :rolleyes:
I'm so glad for Stevie-in-Vegas, so I can skip that Don thing, or at least see only one show. :D

That's one of the thoughts that popped in my head and made me decide for the Vegas option. Also, I'm long overdue for a regular vacation, haven't been to Vegas in longer than most of you are old and I missed the 2nd leg of SYW so never got to see Sara live. Vegas seemed a perfect fit. I may still go to a Don/Stevie show and get cheap seats again, or not. I've been a front-row fiend for so many years, the clamoring gets old... I can go to more concerts if I force myself to opt for nosebleeds. :rolleyes:

Peace,
Laura

I'm a big Eagles fan too so I would love to see Stevie and Don tour together. Not that I will in the UK of course

Pip

Don
 

Cash grab is right.

I am hitting one show...and not travelling to do it.

I am curious why you guys think that Stevie will pick up and tour solo after this Don gig ends this summer? I dont see that happening at all..
It appears there other reasons behind this joint venture than the "love of touring". Like it or not. I agree her touring years are fading..I believe she has admitted that when talking about how good the Vegas residency looked to her.

Of course Don had to ok Lisa Marie using his song and he will make money from it. The kids on AI can't chose any song they want...they have to have authorization from the artist who wrote/recorded it before using it. Do you honestly think the Chicks just picked up Landslide and rerecorded it without authorization from the owner?

Because she's trying to make as much money as she can before she calls it quits. She knows she won't be making any money from album sales. :shrug: It's not a big deal; most of the "veteran" artists do this.

I think it's actually the publishing company that administers the rights for people or artists to use the material - these are the people they approach when they want to record something - they represent the artist by licensing their music and they keep track of it's use, keeping a portion of the proceeds for themselves of course and paying the artist a royalty. I'm sure Don knew about it, but whether or not he can vito someone using a song, I don't know....

:laugh: :lol: :laugh: :lol:

Wow. Everyone has such a negative attitude about the Stevie/Don tour. Imo, the Vegas thing is a cash grab all its own.

All I know is we BETTER get a dvd from these shows!!!!!!!!

Nah. I predict it will bomb. Not a hot seller by any means.
