Agreed, this is pathetic. It would be like Mick and Keith carrying on without Charlie.

Not planning to go but....you'd think they'd bring Bernie Leadon along and even forgive Don Felder and let him come too..no slight to Vince Gill or Deacon Frey but neither are members of the original or classic lineups...

Steely Dan shouldn't be opening for anyone.
Especially the Eagles,

This tour will go longer than Elton John's.

I'm impressed an Eagles thread gets this much action.

There's a line in SD song that goes, "Turn up the Eagles, the neighbors are listening." I always thought that was meant as a joke, until I checked the liner notes and saw that Timothy B Schmit actually sings on that track, among many others in the SD repertoire.
It strikes me as odd that someone as brilliant as Fagen would be a fan of such bland music, when his is anything but. Oh, well. No accounting for taste, I guess.

The History of the Eagles tour show I saw was excellent. It was towards the end og the tour. No Felder but still great. Joe Walsh was mind blowing.

"Everything You Did" is an angry song directed at an ex-lover. The line, "Turn up the Eagles; the neighbors are listening" has become the mythologized in rock. Steely Dan admired the Eagles, and the group's had the same manager: Irving Azoff. The duo has been coy about the line, but legend has it that Walter Becker's girlfriend loved the Eagles and played them all the time, which bothered him a bit. One day they got in a fight, and he came up with that line.

Oh my guess would be playing guitar? I love Joe Walsh, the Eagles reunion in 94 saved his life and he has taken full advantage. I do have a question about the upcoming 4 year farewell tour. Is Deacon Frey a part of it?
