"The Eagles" concert was awesome last night.
For a bunch of "old guys" they still sound great. Joe Walsh had a bit of trouble hitting some of his old notes but he covered well. They all look like they are in good shape, after all the years of drugs and drinking. Joe once said, he decided it was time to clean up when he started to see all his friends dying from drugs and alcohol.
They arrived on the stage at 7:50 for a 7:30 concert with the song, "Take It Easy". Then spent the next 2 and a half hours playing all the old hit of the Eagles plus few of the individual hits of Don Henley, Glenn Fry, Joe and Timothy Schmitt.
The first encore was the classic, "Hotel California".
Now if there was a way to not let "idiots" into the building it would have been a totally enjoyable experience. Even though the concert started 20 mins late, there were still at least 50 people that had to find their seats AFTER the concert was going. So the first 30 mins of the show was looking over and around people.
I had to laugh at the lady in front of Hubby. She had EVERY flashy, blinky, lighted object known to man. And she used them all at the same time. I thought the spotlight had turned on US! As she was dancing in her seat, twirling and waving all the "Bling", I think she spent more time looking at the blinky stuff than the band.
Quite a place to people watch - that's for sure!
