Apparently there are still two sides to everything? The interview I read last year had Felder suing Fry & Henley over royalties he claimed he was due - the numbers were in the upper six-figure range. It was supposedly not a case of getting "fired" as he was PO'd and wasn't going out on tour with them if they were stiffing him for 100s of thousands of dollars. "It's nothing personal - it's just business..."
I saw the Eagles in August 2003 at the White River Amphitheatre in Auburn, Washington. Don Felder was conspicuously absent, and they did not have a replacement guitarist for him.....Walsh and Frey did all the guitar work.
All I can say is that as much as I enjoy Joe Walsh's unique style, Felder was by far the better guitarist....and the Eagles aren't quite the same without him.
Based on their treatment of Don Felder, I didn't watch it. From those who did that I've asked, their performance level wasn't to par with "Hell Freezes Over", so perhaps between that and the commercials, maybe I didn't miss much?
