B is for Babyface. To be honest, we hadn’t really thought much about Babyface before this show. All we knew that he was a talented producer who had won numerous Grammy’s and that Oprah hung the moon on him. Babyface remarked that he never thought he would be opening for the Eagles. His set consisted of him, some attractive jewelry and a chorus of talented individuals. The crowd quite enjoyed "Change the World" and got a preview of the hit that is burning up the charts now—Bruce Springsteen’s "Fire". We will admit that we took a bit of a break during Babyface’s set (see R is for restroom, below).

C is for Construction. As we were sitting waiting for the show to start, the two guys behind us began to talk about Timothy B. Schmit. Apparently, one of them worked for a construction crew and a few years ago had been working on a house. At one point, he noticed someone leaning up against a fence watching everyone work. The guy, who was the foreman, told the onlooker to get back to work and told him where to haul a heap of lumber. The onlooker smiled and replied, "I’m sorry, but I’m the owner of the house." Yup, it was Timothy and the renovations were being done on his house.

D is for Don Felder’s beard. It was missing, but the smile on his face as he stormed through numbers and sang backing vocals was huge indeed.

E is for Eagles ‘Nuf said.

F is for Fans. It was great to meet up with Eagles fans before the show. We wish we had more time to hang out. At the Hard Rock, we ran into Rob, Sarah, Chris, Jill and her sister, Alex and Susan. We also got to hang out with Erin and meet Sandy who stopped to say "hi" at the show. We’re sorry we missed Sayuri and Ginger.

G is for Golf. Because of Tiger Wood’s involvement, the event had a sort of Golfy theme to it. There were famous golfers in attendance. Guests to the post show party received golf balls emblazoned with the Tiger Woods foundation logo and they showed golf video. To introduce Tiger to the audience, they showed a greatest hits video of all Tiger’s best moments set to the beat of "The Heat is On". It was rather exhilarating and the crowd loved it.

H is for Hootie and the Blowfish What’s the most frequent complaint about this South Carolina group? You’ve heard one of their songs…you’ve heard them all, right? Well, that may be the case when popping in a CD, but live, these guys cooked. We’ll be the first to admit that we don’t know the names to all of their songs, but they were all recognizable (except for the new tunes they previewed). "Let Her Cry", "Hold My Hand" and the other big ones were all there. We’ll also admit shamefully that they only band member whose name we know is Darius Rucker. He seemed to be in awe sharing the bill with Babyface and the Eagles. At one point he shouted with glee, "I just touched Don Henley’s drums!!!!" He also confessed that when the band was first starting out, they played "Take it Easy" all the time, but that they wouldn’t be doing it that night because he had a feeling that they would, "…get their asses kicked" if they did. The highlight of the set was a rousing rendition of "Love the One You’re With" combined with an amazing version of Schoolhouse Rock’s "Three is the Magic Number". Wow!

I is for Irving Azoff. We didn’t see him, but he was there. He was thanked quite a bit and apparently bid on everything at the auction (see P for Party below).

J is for John Elway. The Bronco’s quarterback was in attendance. Glenn publicly apologized to him for picking the Packers to win the last Superbowl on a national sport show. John didn’t seem to mind. He so energetically enjoyed the show, which it was reported that he thwacked some of the people near him in the back of their heads as he gyrated to the beat.

K is for Kids. That was the theme for the night. Both Tiger and Glenn emphasized that what was being done that night was because kids are important. Glenn took this to heart and brought his own kids to the event. Taylor and Deacon enjoyed the show, especially when Glenn said hi to Taylor. "Hey Cha-Cha" he yelled. How cute is that?

L is for Leno. Walking into the event, we noticed Jay Leno outside his studio, taping something for his show. We were quite excited. The first famous person we had seen in L.A. This turned into a treat, though. Jay came out to do a bit of schtick between the Hootie and Babyface sets. Jay talked about O.J., mudslides and Monica Lewinsky. He had to keep stretching his act for time, though, because Babyface and his entourage were having a group prayer before coming out.

M is for Master of Ceremonies. That was Glenn. Wearing a suit and tie, Glenn was the first person to take the stage. He introduced Hootie and the Blowfish and thanked everyone responsible for the event. He had quite a long list and had to come out a second time to thank those he had forgotten. He was in great spirits and we can think of nobody who could have done a better job.

N is for New Times. A local L.A. freebie entertainment newspaper, The New Times, wasn’t exactly hyped about the event. They called Glenn a no-talent and said that he was the "scariest, most Frankensteinish looking member of the Eagles." We’re wondering what other members of the band are Frankensteinish looking. Mean, mean paper.

O is for Ovation. When Don Henley finally took the stage the crowd went wild. In fact this was the loudest and longest we’ve heard a crowd hoot and holler. Rob Markowitz suggested that the response was due to the fact that the crowd didn’t quite believe that they were going to indeed see the Eagles. Don had a great big grin on his face and seemed touched by the audience’s reaction.

P is for Party. We didn’t have tickets for the after-show party and auction, but a few folks who were there clued us in as to what went on in the Mexican restaurant on the Universal City Walk. Glenn was in great "spirits". When Glenn walked in, he spotted a man wearing a checked jacket. Glenn walked over to inspect the coat and said, "Don’t worry, they can get that out at the cleaners!" Glenn then asked the man, "Isn’t it great when you can drink for charity?" Glenn also announced to the crowd that Henley and Irving weren’t at the party because Henley was pissed about his sound monitor and Irving was consoling him. Joe wasn’t there at all either and Tim and Felder only stayed briefly. The highlight of the evening was the celebrity auction with Glenn "assisting" the auctioneer. Glenn apparently didn’t think the crowd was bidding high enough on some of the items on the block. He got very worked up trying to get people to bid. Wife Cindy rubbed his shoulders and told him to calm down. Glenn did have the mythical "Irving" start most of the bids. "Irving starts the bidding at $5000", he would say. "He’s got the money, he won’t mind." One of the big items up for auction was a trip to play golf with Tiger and Glenn at some golf course in Florida. A very lucky(?) woman bid $95,000 for that. All in all, the event seemed like a blast and made great money for kids.
