To be fair, when you consider the scale, the money involved and the possible losses incurred if someone has a bad throat then you can see why a lot of bands have a vocal safety track. Shania Twain openly admitted this in her book. The whole band play to a prerecorded multitrack tape with a click. FOH have the mulitrack and the live mic feeds. If someone is off then they can flick the channels input from the live mic to the prerecorded digital stream.
One of the reasons artists are so protective of their live stuff being up on YT is because it makes it possible to see / hear what's really going on.
I will be sending this to my one of my guitar students though because he filmed a bit of an Eagles live show a few years ago and I said at the time it sounded like track rather than live.
Rant over.
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
But if you think it "changes everything", you're sure detracting a lot of value from the rest of the show (I've seen it). Joe Walsh is definitely 100% *not* miming, and they are definitely all playing their instruments - the show I saw Timothy B. Schmitt effed up a note at the end of Hotel California for a bar or two, very obvious, they had a laugh onstage at it, they moved on. Imperfections can be fun too sometimes.
I think sometimes if you're paying a lot for a *show* then maybe a prerecorded vocal track is *for the best*...

As regards the other very relevant question - would you rather pay to hear them mess it up..hard to say. With the ticket prices charged for big concert acts these days, given a choice between paying a couple of hundred quid to see somebody miming through a section of their concert versus listening to the same thing at home with decent wine/beers for free, I'd probably prefer the latter (if forewarned in advance, obviously ).
Anyone spending the amount of coin necessary to see the Henley, Schmit and Walsh + hired help would be (rightly or wrongly) assuming that was still the case these days.
If The Eagles have suddenly started "Take'(in) it Easy" - then one can assume the vast majority of aircraft hanger botherers are doing likewise.
Celine Dion was 1998 or 1999, in Edinburgh at Murrayfield with The Corrs supporting. She could definitely sing, no doubt about it.
The Eagles was in Belfast, on the same night that Jeff Beck played in another smaller venue. My friends who say Jeff were amazed and also depressed after witnessing his abilities. I had a great time singing along with The Eagles, enjoyed Joe Walsh & Steuart Smith immensely, and their vocals were brilliant.
Finally, Meatloaf, later era when everyone in the band was singing because Meat was either late, flat or mostly both. A pre recorded track or a muted mic would have been a blessing. He still gets brownie points for being one of the very few who played NI in the bad old days.
