The country-flavoured Rock & Roll Hall of Famers are saying their ‘Long Goodbye,’ a tour billed as the final one

It was 11 p.m. and the last of four encore songs by the Eagles was still resonating in Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena. The long-running band left the stage with goodbye waves as fans quickly headed to the exits. Some people like to stay out late, some folks can’t hold out that long and some need to make the commuter train home to the suburbs on a Wednesday night., about risks, romance and inevitabilities: “Somebody’s gonna hurt someone before the night is through.

The Eagles strove for perfection, as did their Southern California cohorts Steely Dan, who, on their 1976 song, sang “Turn up the Eagles, the neighbours are listening.” In response, the Eagles included the line “They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can’t kill the beast” on 1977′sIf he was listening, Steely Dan’s lone remaining co-founder Donald Fagen would have heard that classic song and that line night after night on the current tour, as the group is the Eagles opening act.

Some Steely Dan fans were crushed by the news that the group would not perform. One of them said on the social media platform X that they had travelled from the east coast just to see them. Another, Toronto’s Quinn Henderson, told The Globe and Mail he was “kind of bummed.”“It’s really unfortunate,” David Marskell, CEO of TheMuseum in Kitchener, Ont., said before the concert. “The Eagles are great, but I was totally going to see Steely Dan. They’ve always been my favourite band.
