I liked the Eagles until I saw them live (about two months before the Hotel California album was released). After that, I couldn't stand them. I think if you're going to come out & play your songs exactly, note-for-note, how you recorded them, then you ought to save your fans the expense of the tickets & parking & concessions. I'd rather just save the money and listen to the albums, since the sound is better, in the comfort of my own home or car. They're obviously not doing anything different to entice me to see them onstage.
And, the song "Hotel California" has long ago reached the plateau of songs such as "Stairway To Heaven", "Roundabout", "Riders On The Storm", "Money", "Another Brick In The Wall", "Smoke On The Water", "Free Bird", "Sweet Home Alabama", "Hey Jude" & "Dreams" (yes, "Dreams") that if I never hear them again, I won't miss hearing them.
