The Eagles are THE best "old" band out there performing! As Glenn Frey said "Welcome to the Eagle's Assisted Living Tour". I knew it was going to be a great evening when they opened with "Seven Bridges Road". I went to the concert with my friend Susan, and this song was bittersweet for her. It was played at her husband's funeral last October. However, we sang along, and realized that Dennis was probably there with us in spirit!
They played so many hits that I can't even remember all of them. Hotel California, Take It To The Limit, The Best of My Love, Lyin' Eyes, Witchy Woman, Take It Easy, Peaceful Easy Feeling, One of These Nights, Life in the Fast Lane, solo Don Henley hits: The Boys of Summer and Dirty Laundry; and Joe Walsh hits: Rocky Mountain Way and Life's Been Good. They also played quite a few songs off their latest CD, Long Road Out of Eden: I Don't Want to Hear Any More, Guilty of the Crime, and No More Walks in the Wood. They did two encores, which kind of seemed like three because they started to leave the stage after the second encore, and the lights went down. But soon they were back and singing Desperado. They performed for over three hours, and only took a 20 minute intermission. Their harmonies are still incredible. I'm amazed that I remembered all the lyrics to every one of their songs. I guess they are etched in my heart somehow.
There were a lot of people complaining about the majority of tickets being priced $175 - myself included. (I bought $85 tickets). But I have to say - they were truly worth that amount of money! So, if you have the chance to see the Eagles in concert, you MUST GO! It will be something you will remember for a very long time.
