The Eagles announce ‘The Long Goodbye’ final tour: ‘The time has come to close the circle’
By Jack Hobbs
July 6, 2023
They are taking flight one last time.
Popular rock ‘n’ roll band The Eagles announced Thursday that they plan on embarking on a final cross-country tour beginning in September through 2025.
“Our long-run has lasted far longer than any of us ever dreamed,” the band said in an emotional statement. “But, everything has its time, and the time has come for us to close the circle.”
“The official farewell tour is currently in the planning stages,” continued the statement, which then goes on to give a bit of the band’s history.
“The Eagles have had a miraculous 52-year odyssey, performing for people all over the globe; keeping the music alive in the face of tragic losses, upheavals and setbacks of many kinds,” said the band, which formed in 1972.

Glen Frey is already dead.
Joe Walsh has been brain dead since the 1970s.
Don Henley is a notorious @$$hole.
They are soaking the Boomers for a few hundred dollars a ticket before they head off to take their eternal dirt naps.

Joe Walsh may be brain dead but boy can he play the guitar.
Joe Walsh himself agrees.

I was never a fan. :shrug:

I saw them 20 years ago ... Glenn Frey and Joe Walsh were the show. Don Henly stood and sang with a scowl on his face.
I haven't seen Don Henley around Walden Pond in Concord, MA, lately.

The Eagles in their day, were the ultimate example of their genre. In fact C&W and country rock in general would sound much different today without their influence.
But......
Maybe the best analogy of their silly incessant farewell tours are coming across like a Tropic Thunder Scorchers Trailer.......

Henley's brain has suffered decades from Green Brain Rot.

Initially, I was skeptical. Sure, sure guys, this is your final farewell tour until your next reunion tour, lol. But looking at their ages, and the loss of Glenn...could be. I don't care how much Glenn's son sounds like him (or Vince Gill) for that matter....it ain't the same.
I paid over $200 for a ticket to the Hell Freezes Over Tour. Even if I did concerts these days....no way.
I could see them doing an extended gig at a stationary location (Vegas) at some point. :shrug:

Vince has too much going on in Nashville to commit to a Vegas gig like that. (Not that Henley Walsh et al. wouldn't try to replace him... but still...)

My opinion of The Beagles....er sorry...The Eagles is similar to the Dude's feelings about the band in "The Big Lebowski."
Jeff Bridges got into trouble with some members of the band who didn't understand that it was his character who hated The Eagles and not him. Bridges has stated that he likes The Eagles.
My attitude is closer to the Dude's attitude towards the band. While I didn't hate them, I never thought they were anything exceptional. The only song of theirs I halfway like is "Take It Easy."

I already said "good-bye" to the Eagles back in 1974.
