But sometimes I still do!
\nLife’s Been Good to Me So Far…<\/p>\n
Anyway, simple review:
\nWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.<\/p>\n
Oh, it was grrrreat!!!<\/p>\n
This is most likely my last Eagles concert unless they pop out a new album (and by new album, I mean 12 new tracks and not some box set bullshit for $100. no no no). Between the new car and austerity savings, even I can’t justify the expense. (Corollary: if the rumor is true and Henley tours with Stevie Nicks sometime, I will be there with bells on).<\/p>\n
So…we had great seats. Not floor seats, but two rows off the floor and very close to the stage. During “Life’s Been Good” Joe Walsh walked down an aisle and I think it may have been ours. I couldn’t tell since people were standing up in front of me and since Joe had the helmet-cam on, I didn’t want to get the Jumbotron surprise. They started with The Long Run and ended with Desperado (complete with Star Search\/American Idol minute-long final note, ugh). It was basically the same set as Farewell 1 2003 (Farewell 1.0?).<\/p>\n
Frey, Walsh and Schmidt were in great voice. I think Frey sounds identical to the original albums (and that’s their goal, BTW). Henley sadly was sounding rough, which is a shame.<\/p>\n
Henley spent most of the Eagles songs behind the drums (minus Desperado, natch…and maybe Wasted Time?) and the rest up front with a guitar…possibly a prop guitar? By the end I could tell the guitar had strings on it, but it just didn’t get much use.<\/p>\n
Anyway — I’m whining too much! Life’s Been Good was great, all the Frey solo stuff was letter perfect and I made sure to clap extra hard for I Can’t Tell You Why and Love will Keep us Alive (even though I disagree with the sentiment) because poor ol’ Tim just didn’t get enough face time.<\/p>\n
A good time was had by all – even the dogs are pooped (ha ha) from doggie sleepaway camp!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
