"They considered canceling the show. But, in the end, the Eagles decided to carry on even without ailing guitarist-vocalist Joe Walsh and play their sold-out show at the Sphere in Las Vegas on Saturday night (Jan. 24). The result was unlike any other show the massively popular Los Angeles band has performed during its lengthy Sphere residence, except, really, in one way: It was still an absolute delight to behold."
"Vince Gill, the country star who joined the band after original member Glenn Frey died in 2016, shouldered most of the load caused by Walsh's absence. He sang the tunes that usually go to Walsh and played many of his regular guitar leads with the other portion of those hot licks being handled, quite admirably, by ace touring member Chris Holt."
The Eagles performed a sold-out show at the Sphere in Las Vegas without guitarist-vocalist Joe Walsh after he came down with the flu and was advised to rest. Vince Gill sang songs usually handled by Walsh and played many of his guitar leads, while touring guitarist Chris Holt covered the remaining hot licks. Walsh had performed the previous night but did not take the stage on Saturday. Gill's angelic voice differs from Walsh's distinctive squawk-talk style, and some guitar moments suggested Walsh might have taken different approaches. The Sphere residency continues through March 28 and remains highly successful.
