If you're talking about any of the shows coming up at the end of February, 
those dates will be Eric's last shows with the band unless he decides at the 
last minutes not to do those shows which is very unlikely.  They are well 
worth seeing and if past history is any indication, when there's this kind 
of tension within the band, they play at a much higher level, even if Perry 
Farrell's become the alternative music version of David Lee Roth these days.

As for Duff's presence in the band especially if they are going forward with 
new material, the best case scenario is the band will take on a punkier edge 
like early 80's LA punk bands like X.  Worst case scenario, they put out 
something like "Strays" which will basically be a watered down corporate 
hard rawk record.
