Kelly P's Review

I am just blown away with how wonderful the Eagles performed last night. Joe Walsh was excellent and funny as $%#@. Glenn, Don and Tim were playing excellent as well and moving all over the stage. Nice dancin' Glenn!! What a horn section! The newest guitarist they have is wonderful. Keyboards were great too. A perfect concert and they were very courteous to their fans. I appreciate that. A class concert in KC! I am so glad they came to Kansas City. Thanks Guys!!!

The show was just incredible! I knew the Eagles were going to be great in concert, I just didn't know how great! They played for over 3 hours and they still weren't able to give us all their hits. It is really hard to believe all the songs this group has under their belts. They sounded awesome and you could see how much they really loved performing.

I am a big Don Henley fan, but I became a fan of them all, individually, after last night. It was apparent to me that Joe Walsh truly loves to still be up on stage performing. Thanks for letting me share my thoughts with you.

Deb's Review

Well, I never thought I would sit down and write up a review of an Eagle's Concert.

I thought a concert was a concert......nothing different. I've been to the Moody Blues, the Police, Phil Collins, Billy Joel, Alabama, and Jimmy Buffet to name a few, but nothing like the Eagles!

To give you a little background, I get on this site for my mom, who is an avid Don Henley fan, and now the Eagles number one fan 65 years old to boot!) I print out all the tour reviews for her.....so thought since I'm doing this for her, I might as well go to one of their concerts.....why not?

I kept looking at ticket prices on ticketmaster, and ebay, among other sites, and they all were asking too much, and always for two tickets. I eventually went back on ticketmaster.com the day before the concert in Kansas City, asked for the best available seat......and got 10 rows back from the stage for 146.00!

I booked it quickly.

I got to the arena early the day of the concert, and watched the excitement build, as the time drew nearer! I must say I even was getting into the groove. When the concert was about to start, I ran up to the front row, center, since there were about six seats not filled.....and the concert started. I was blown away!

Unbelievable, sheer excitement from the crowd....and the Eagles sure belted out the tunes! Eventually, I had to go back to my seat 10 rows back, but not before I had the eye contact with Timothy B. Schmit (now I'm a fan forever)! I, too, know the feeling my parents have when they go to any of their concerts! They played the full 3 hours, and did 5 encores! It seemed like they did not even want to leave....but, alas, the evening was over. I only wish they were on tour longer, and that I could follow them from town to town. I'm hooked!

Jamie's Review

As I set down to type up this review I wondered what I could possibly say about The Eagles Concert that hasn't already been said. It was a wonderful, great, awesome show-I guess you could say I liked it :-) I knew that the concert would be great because I have seen them before and the majority of the concert reviews from others were good. However something did happen to us to make the concert even more enjoyable. When I got online to purchase the tickets on the Internet Pre-sale I was a little disappointed with the seats that I got. The seats that I got were in the section just above the floor. They were not bad seats but I was really wanting to get seats on the floor section (who wouldn't)??? I decided to take the seats anyway. These seats were better than the ones we had in Denver.

Finally the day of the concert arrived. My husband and I drove into Kansas City, checked in the hotel, got something to eat and took a drive to Kemper Arena to scope out the place and check on parking. While we were driving around the arena we found the ticket office. We had discussed on the drive to Kansas City about the possibility of upgrading our tickets. My sweet husband said "What ever you want to do is okay with me." I had decided that I would only upgrade if the seats were just too good to pass up. I went up to the ticket office and asked the guy "Do you have any seats available on the floor?" He looked at me and smiled then said "I have got 2 seats available on the front row." I think I must have broken the record for whipping out a credit card right then. I was on cloud nine!!!

When we arrived at the arena we noticed that there were a lot of people who had tickets to sell. It seemed that our chance to unload our one set of tickets were pretty slim. We decided to take the loss and just go on in the arena. Since we had got great seats I decided to try to take my camera in. I didn't get to take it in so my husband took it back to the car. On his way back from the car he was able to sell the set of tickets we had. We went in the arena and found our seats and had another nice surprise. I thought the seats we got were on the end of the front row but it turns out that they weren't!! The seats we had put us in front of Tim and Glenn. Sorry that I am going on and on about this but this kind of stuff never happens to me!

Now for the important part...The Show!! At 8:20 the lights go down and the guys come on. I just couldn't believe that I was getting to see them so up close. The set list was exactly the same as it was for most of the other cities (no Seven Bridges Road or Best of My Love for us either). Glenn was the spokesman for the group and welcomed us to their 30th anniversary concert. Highlights of some of the songs performed:

Wasted Time....Don sounds so great on this song. I wished that there wasn't so much hopping and hollering by the crowd during this song because Don is just so soulful on this song (maybe that's why the crowd goes wild!) To just see his expressions during this song was a treat! The crowd literally yelled and cheered for a minute during a pause in the song. Don stood there and waited for it to quiet down; he even motioned with his hand to hold it down. He finished the song and the crowd went wild!

Take It to The Limit....I have to admit I am a big fan of Randy's version but Glenn does a good job on the song. He introduced the song as "a song that Don and I wrote with Randy Meisner. It also is how my wife feels about our credit cards" which got a laugh. At least he doesn't do the ex-wife jokes anymore thank goodness! It was neat to hear the crowd sing with him!

Already Gone......this one was just a lot fun. The crowd was into it and so was the band especially during the "woohoohoo" parts.

You Belong to the City.....I have always liked this song. I really liked it this time because the keyboard that Glenn played was right in front of my seat! He sat down and it was like he was playing it for me. The guy sitting next to me leaned over and said "aren't these great seats??" I agreed with him totally! Tim was helping Glenn on the vocals with this one. I have to agree with other people that this seems to be a hard song for Glenn to sing but he was singing it to me (okay a girl can dream can't she??) and to see his expressions on this song is priceless.

Life's Been Good.....the crowd went wild when this one started. Joe outdid himself on this. His new lyrics were a riot and when he sang the line "everyone says I'm cool" we all shouted back "he's cool" it was just so much fun and you could tell he was having a great time with the song.

All She Wants to do is Dance.....I hope that if they ever put out a DVD of their concerts they get good close ups of Glenn dancing with the Horn section. That is quite a show! You have to see it to believe it; he goes wild-it was great! Even Joe started dancing. Actually I noticed Glenn doing some moves during other songs, I think he was doing some footwork during Life in the Fast Lane. Then Tim started following him. It was neat.

Things that I noticed regarding the band were: I was so impressed with Tim. He makes an effort to acknowledge everyone in the audience. He walked from one end of the stage to the other. He seems like such a nice guy. Glenn is the greatest band leader. He is so much fun to watch. His facial expressions are the greatest. Plus you just got to love his dancing! Joe was having the best time playing. He looked like he was thoroughly enjoying every minute of the concert. His interaction with the audience is great. Joe and Stuart Smith were really interacting with each other-they played great. Don's voice was great as always . He sounds so good. His interaction with the crowd is somewhat limited when he's playing drums but it is such a treat when he comes down to sing or play guitar with the guys. It was so good to see them playing and singing so well and they just seemed to be enjoying it so much. Before the end of the show Glenn thanked everyone from coming. He told us how much they appreciated their fans which is why they have been working on a new studio album that they hope to release next year or die trying to get it finished. I know that we have not heard the last from them.

At the end of the concert I was standing in the corridor looking at the t-shirts, hats and concert programs wondering if I should buy something. I decided that I had the greatest souvenir of all...my ticket stub to my front row seat and all of the great memories of this concert. If you have the opportunity to see them do so! It is a treat!

Two Sides Review

We had a fantastic time. The show was better than Hell Freezes. Don was a little raspy but got it going a little later. The crowd was old but loud. Glen kinda cut it loose a little and Timothy didn't miss a beat. But lets all face it, I came to see Joe Walsh. The man is flat out the best axe grinder I have ever heard. He makes a guitar hurt. Walk Away, Funk 49, Rocky Mountain Way all turned it up a notch, and it was the first time of many that I heard Life's Been Good with a awesome horn section. I kept a good eye and ear on Mr. Smith and he didn't miss a beat except on I Cant Tell You Why and Hotel California. That's the only two songs that if you closed your eyes and listened, you would notice that Felder wasn't on stage. I did find out that Joe had hurt his back a couple of shows before KC and that he was traveling with and getting therapy from a back cracker. He also said that after the tour he and Glen would be doing a couple of gigs in Vegas. Stay tuned for that one. I didn't hear anybody complaining about prices except for the people that were not going. I am also quite sure that this was the best show to hit KC in a long time, except when Joe played Spirit Fest two years ago, that show was amazing. Now I am very ready for the Tour next year. I sold my Omaha and Iowa tickets very easily on ebay and I am still kicking myself. But because the shows were so close together I just couldn't get the time off. These guys are like fine wine, they get a little better as the days go by. Couldn't get a better show. We were headed to the Plaza after the show, but everybody in the van were very exhausted and just wanted to head for home. Turns out Mr. Walsh spent a late night out down at the Plaza after the show. DAMN!!!!!!!!
