Dan: Fan Review |
My name is Dan Henry and I traveled from Seattle to
see the Eagles in Denver. The best part of the show
aside from the outstanding music was the bands
interaction with the fans. I last saw them in Portland
last year and this seems to be a new feature this
year. Don and Glenn both were both joking and seemed
to be having a great time.
I thought Don Henley put on a tremendous performance.
I would say the song I enjoyed the most was Hotel
California followed closely by their new song Hole in
the World. Don kind of explained the background on
how their Hole in the World song was written which I
found to be interesting. Joe had on an
interesting red suit and later in the concert wore a
camera cam construction hat. That hat really seemed
to get the crowd going. I hope to be able to see them
again in August. It was like a real party with
everyone dancing and singing in the crowd.
It was kind of expensive but I thought with the graphics and all things
considered it was worth the money. The list of songs
listed was pretty accurate. Overall I would rate this
the best concert I have ever seen. Hopefully their
final tour will continue for many years and they will
have more hits in the future.

My
favorite part was... Don Henley singing Wasted Time,
Joe on Rocky Mountain Way, the SOUND SYSTEM-AWESOME!!!
My least favorite part was.... Glenn doing 'You Belong
to the City'. This is a tired song, and wasn't even
performed well. You could barely hear Glenn through
most of the song. He seemed to be whispering...
The band members were..... Ummm... If you don't know
this, why are you on this site???
The show made me feel..... stupid for missing them the
last time they came through Denver
One thing I'll never forget is..... Joe in his flashy
red suit
Other comments ....... I wish they would have featured
Don a bit more. In my opinion, he is the biggest
talent in the band, and by far the best singer... The
only song he could really show his talent on in this
concert was Wasted Time, which was the best
performance all night. I would have loved to see him
singing "The Last Resort" or "Heart of the Matter"...
Replace Glenn's song with one of those, and you've got
an even more impressive concert!!!! If that's
possible...

My favorite part was...when the band was goofing
around--Glenn dancing to "All She Wants To Do Is
Dance", the guys bouncing around together when they
were all on guitar, etc. I really like to see them
looking like they are having fun and enjoying their
jobs.
My least favorite part was....the massive amounts of
guitars solos in the second half. I know I'm in the
minority here but I enjoy the singing more than the
guitars.
The band members were.....acting a little run down. I
was wondering why it seemed as if there were so many
guitar solos going on but I figured it out when I
realized that this was the last show before a little
break. I wish I could have seen them at the start of
the tour.
One thing I'll never forget is.....like the previous
reviewer, I loved Joe's zoot suit. Timothy's question
asking if it came in RED was hilarious. They
definitely need to keep him around to keep the band
from getting too serious!
Other comments .......Don's
voice seemed a little scratchy at first but it warmed
up and was great the rest of the night. Glenn's and
Joe's voices seemed weaker, like they needed a rest.
Timothy's voice was as great as ever. I truly hope
they give him the opportunity to do more lead vocals
on the new album. All in all it was a good time but I
can't count this as my favorite concert. That still
is my first concert which was the first millennium
show at Mandalay Bay. (But isn't your first always
your best? ;-) )

My
favorite part was... Of course when Timothy had 2
guitar pics sent over to me
My least favorite part was....How fast it was over
The band members were..... Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Joe
Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit
The show made me feel..... incredibly energetic
One thing I'll never forget is..... During All She
Wants To Do Is Dance, Joe Walsh came to the left side
of the stage with Timothy. He pointed to the shirts
and banner we were wearing in honor of Timothy. They
both smiled and waved. And then Joe broke into the
funniest dance.
Other comments .......From The Long Run to Desperado,
it was an evening like I've never seen. I don't think
I've ever seen them play to the audience the way they
did. Lots of interaction between the band and fans. I
really liked Glenn's You Belong To The City. Combined
with Al's sax and Timothy's backing vocals, it was
almost sensual. Don Henley positively took my breath
away. I have never heard Wasted Time or Desperado
sound so good. The longer he held a note, the louder
the crowd got. Joe Walsh can't help but get your
attention. From the moment he walked on stage in that
bright red zoot suit, to the final encore, he was
great. I especially liked the way Timothy and Glenn
would jump and freeze in the position they landed
during Funk 49. The entire band seems to really get
into Joe's songs. Timothy looked like he stepped right
out of the Farewell 1 tourbook, his shirt, light blue
jeans and black boots were picture perfect. He sang
his songs flawlessly. Stuart Smith was fantastic. He
really got into his playing. This is by far the best
money ever spent, and I will gladly do it again. I
flew in from Calif. for this show. I hope they
announce the LA dates soon. This was definitely worth
repeating.

Your
Name: Jean from Washington
I saw
the show in...Denver
My
favorite part was.... When they messed up on our
tickets and we got to sit in the fourth row on the
floor. The energy
throughout the whole performance, I couldn't help
myself but dance and sing with the band.
My least favorite part was....Not getting a guitar
pick
The band members were..... oh so fine, better
than in pictures.
The show made me feel..... That's the point, the whole
performance made you feel alive. The band gave so much
energy and heart throughout the whole three plus hours
it was contagious. I was exhausted from singing and
dancing and I can't imagine how tired the band must of
felt.
One
thing I'll never forget is.....the smile on Don
Henley's face when the band was cutting up, and Joe
Walsh's connection with his guitar during the whole
night's performance.
Other
comments This is the best concert I have ever been
too. I got my money's worth and more. I kept looking
around the Pepsi Center and watching as almost 15
thousand fans were dancing, singing and jumping with
the band. That to me was amazing. The music pulled you
from your seat and inspired you to remember when you
were 20+ and could dance for hours. It was just plain
fun, and I am looking forward to going to a
performance in California in August.

In a word: OUTSTANDING!
The Denver concert was by far one of the best concerts
that I have had the pleasure of attending. I was
gratefully surprised at receiving the tickets the day
of the concert, having believed that the St. Louis
concert would be my last chance to see the show. While
our seats weren't nearly as close as the our first
Farewell concert, we were able to see the band from a
different perspective and therefore able to watch the
great interaction with the fans. Glenn explained that
at one point all of the Eagles had lived in Colorado.
Don explained that they'd try their best to sing all
of the hits, but that it was a little harder at 8,000
feet. Glenn added that Denver was only 5,000 feet, but
the band was 3,000 feet high on its own. (Don
apologized and said he thought they were playing in
Aspen. J)
The guys were much more dynamic and entertaining than
they had been only a few months earlier in St. Louis.
There was a great deal more interaction and they
delivered all of the songs with precision and
enthusiasm. "Hole in the World" was met with great
satisfaction, proving the reason that the song
continues to climb the charts. I was especially
impressed (again) with Don's "Wasted Time" and "One of
these Nights". Glenn did superbly on "Take it Easy",
"Already Gone," and "Heartache Tonight" (although I
miss Glenn's "alright, nighty-night" and "break my
heart" fade-outs from studio versions). Glenn didn't
hold back any of his jokes, including the normal
accolade of "Take it to the Limit" to his wife (this
time, adding a long-time friend), and the dedication
of "Lying Eyes" to his first ex -- plaintiff. Timothy
held his own with the crowd favorite, "I can t tell
you why." The crowd was especially energized by Joe's
red suit and strong performance; he stole the show
throughout the evening (although it was difficult to
steal my attention from Glenn's jeans and blue
button-up shirt heavenly!!!).
During the break, I waited for a friend in the
hospitality room and watched the different
friends/visitors of the Eagles parade backstage. The
guys really keep busy throughout the entire show, on
and off stage. There didn't seem to be much time for
an intermission/break for the band. With three + hours
of being "on", it's amazing to see what these guys
continue to be capable of producing.
This was by far one of the best concerts I've been
able to attend. The music was at its very best and the
energy level of the crowd and the band was especially
high. The only disappointment of the evening was
realizing that this will probably be the last show I
see this year. Hopefully the guys will say Farewell a
few more times.

I
just want to say, WOW! I saw The Eagles here in
Denver, Colorado, on June 24th. As always, they blew
me away! My seats were side stage, and you got a
"behind the scenes" look at the stage. As a fellow
musician (singer), I was in awe. They sounded so
tight, musically and I really enjoyed how they "funked"
up some of the songs. It made them sound so cool. I
have never heard them sound so tight, vocally, either.
They were right-on with eachother and it was amazing.
I wanted to be on that stage with them, singing. That
would be such an incredible experience. I'm not sure
what my favorite part was. Maybe the Joe Walsh cam, or
the high energy, or the funky groove, or just the
whole experience. As always, they blew me away. Come
back to Denver soon, boys!
Thank you for yet, another, great, musical experience.
I can't wait for the new album to come out...sometime.
(ha ha)
