Henley fan might have more up to date information on this, but the band wanted to give people time to get the album and some time to listen to it for a while. I read they are planning touring behind it for at least 2 years.

You are correct....no tour for about a year. Of course things always change in Eagle Land so you never know. The success of the album might cause them to think about starting a tour sooner. But Henley is working on finishing up a solo album that will supposedly be out this summer so that might not leave a lot of time for the Eagles until next fall. When they do finally tour, it will be a huge, long, final farewell world tour. Better start saving now.

Thank you for the update HenleyFan--I can see you have been busy. I'll definitely catch them on tour as I have in the past. I hope they use the ILAA plan again. That was a great deal!

I will say this, one angle of Fleetwood Mac VS Eagles comparison where frankly I dont think there is any is the approachability of the members. I mean, Having had experience with Mick and Lindesy and seeing how genuinely friendly they are, from everything I've heard, Frey and Henley and the exact opposite and dont like interacting with their fans at all.

David--

That's not true about Henley and Frey. I've never met Frey, but I've heard he can be quite personable with fans, esp. on the golf course. I've met Henley numerous times and he has always been friendly and chatty and happily poses for photos and signs everything you ask him to sign.

I'm sure Soda will chime in since she's met Henley and Frey and Lindsey too so she can really compare the experiences.

yeah my friend Mr Bill met Henley on the Inside Job tour, as well as Stan Lynch (who was there to see the show) and chatted with both of them for several minutes, and Don happily signed something for Bill. I think, like just about everyone, these folk have their good moments and bad moments.

I know this is an old thread, but why start a new one when you can dig up an old one?

The Eagles have started to add new American dates (just check out Ticketmaster). I plan to go to the show at the Hard Rock Park in South Carolina on June 2, then drive over to Mississippi to see the Stevie show at the Hard Rock Casino on June 5. Crazy, I know, but they're both general admission - and with them both being Hard Rock, it seems meant to be.

I always meant to answer this but never got around to it, so might as well take the opportunity now. Regarding meeting them and approachability off-stage:

Stevie: When you meet her, she makes you feel totally loved when she's speaking with you, but probably won't remember you five minutes later - and who can blame her, with all the fans she's seen? Outside of controlled contexts, unapproachable offstage. (When I see "controlled contexts," I mean charity events and meet'n'greets - the only times I've talked to her, and only for two minutes a time, have been at those. In a hotel lobby in Atlanta, I glimpsed her coming through surrounded by her fan-repellent entourage). Maybe someone else has had a different experience, but that's what I've seen. I consider her the least approachable of the group. However, one must give her kudos for how gracious and sweet she is at her meet'n'greets . I will never forget how I felt when she took my hand and thanked me for donating to AHI.

Lindsey: Very approachable, as many of you know at this point. While going to his car from the show, he will sign stuff most of the time. On his own time, he is also happy to talk to fans. In my personal experience, when myself and some hard-cores saw him at a bar in Chicago, he came over and talked to us in a very friendly, genuine manner. Lindsey also is good about remembering you if he's seen you before, even if he only saw you from the stage.

Mick: I met him briefly at a meet'n'greet. He seemed eager to talk to fans, even excited when people talked to him. Perhaps this was because he was standing next to Stevie and not getting much attention, but from what I hear (although not personal experience) he is happy to talk to fans on his own time as well.

Don Henley: I have only met him briefly at Stevie's side after AHI in 2005, but he was very gracious to me and the other Stevie fans who talked to him. As HenleyFan states above, he has done meet'n'greets for fans where he is very charming and attentive. Additionally, he recognizes his hard-cores and has even acknowledged the fansite of HenleyFan, developing a rapport with her/them. I had not realized that he signed autographs and does pictures on his own time as well- that definitely puts him above Ms. Nicks on the "off-stage approachability" scale.

Glenn Frey: A special case, very unpredictable. Catch him off-stage and he may or may not sign autographs, depending on how he sizes you up and his mood. He is very concerned with autograph hounds but if he senses you're a real fan, he'll usually do autographs unless he's in a hurry. He doesn't really like to take photos with people, but will make exceptions on occasion if he feels you're sincere and not a photo-hound. He doesn't do meet'n'greets unless it is stipulated in his contract or some very special occasion. That said, in controlled contexts like charity golf tournaments, he is VERY sweet and attentive to fans, coming over and chit-chatting with you as if he's your friend and signing autographs even when he's not feeling very good. He has also demonstrated "above and beyond" behavior to super-hard-core fans that exceeds anything I have seen or heard about regarding any of the Mac members.

In sum, according to my own observations, one can't make a simplistic statement that the members of the Mac are more fan-friendly than those of the Eagles. It depends on the circumstance and which member you're talking about at which time.

As this is a hideously old thread I don't expect replies, but I thought I would "update" nonetheless!
