My wife and I just
returned from Las Vegas, where we saw their show at
the MGM Grand Hotel. What a show! It lasted almost 3
1/2 hours. Joe Walsh sang 5 solo, James Gang songs
(Don only sang 4 solo songs, big surprise). Glenn
Frey sang 1 ("You Belong To The City"). My favorite
song of the evening was "Tequila Sunrise". The band
was energetic, and the guitarist who replaced Don
Felder was incredible. I still missed Felder though.
No doubt the star of this show was Joe Walsh. This
guy was rockin' out. Joe just let loose and jammed.
The crowd were on their feet every time. Great show.

Just
got back from the Vegas show (lucky enough to stay for
a few days after
for vacation) and must say that it was A TIE FOR THE
VERY BEST CONCERT I HAVE
EVER SEEN (have seen over 85 concerts)----HFO IN '94
WAS ITS "TWIN".`The band
all looked wonderful, Glenn looked neat in jeans &
jacket. Joe changed between
sets looking very sexy in shiny green pants & black
beret during the second
set. Tim was sleek in jeans & grey shirt and Stuart
also wore grey. Best of
all, my man Don was totally beautiful in a silky black
shirt & black matching
jeans (& of course those same brown boots).
The best part of the show was having 3rd row right
(yep Henley's side) seats
and meeting lots of my Eaglesfans friends (L&M,
Jeanie, Tom, & Beth). Also, oh
my God, Don noticed our "We're Pukin NOW" sign early
in the show and told Tim
about it---Tim saw it, I pointed at him and HE
ACTUALLY POINTED BACK AT US,
WOW, WOW, WOW WHAT A TOTAL "RUSH" THAT WAS!!!!!!!!!!
What a dream come true, to
know that Don Henley (the man I believe to be "the
coolest man alive") and
Tim Schmidt (who is also quite cool) actually noticed
that I was at the
concert---absolutely AWESOME!!! That "Pukin" sign had
a great time this summer
at
Phila, Atlantic City & Vegas and it can't wait to go
to Farewell II next summer
(hope, hope, hope).
The worst part of the concert was that I forgot to
take a picture of the
billboard at the MGM Grand with the Eagles picture on
it. Also, of course, the
terrible fact that Farewell I is over now for me, boo
hooooooooo. Hurry up
Farewell II (please Mr. Henlely, give that
perfectionist thing a bit of a rest),
after all, us devoted Eagles fans desperately need
some new music cause "we
ain't
gettin no younger" if you know what I mean.
Other notes: MGM Grand is a fantastic place to see a
concert, fairly small
(about 12,000 seats) and shaped like a big bowl. Thus,
all of the seats are
pretty good ones. Best of all (for me personally) both
the left/right sides of
the
stage are very close to the stage(truly wonderful
seats). Note to the band
(especially Mr Henely)--I'm already getting excited
about Farewell II. So guys,
work work work work----hey, you don't need to be with
your families for
Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, etc---just hurry up
and get that new CD done so
us
devoted fans will have plenty of time to schedule our
'04 vacations. Finally,
to anyone out there in Eagleland who hasn't yet seen a
show, GO, GO AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE, YOU'LL REMEMBER IT WITH TOTAL JOY FOR THE
REST OF YOUR
LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
