I just double checked the "Eagles, Family And Friends" dates and this show sits on the Saturday, right between the two, so there could be some very interesting special guests, although the geography is all over the place. It could be an Eagles show, not billed as an Eagles show, serving as preparation for their Classic East show as well as celebrating a notable milestone in Don's life.
Even with Glenn gone, I expect the Eagles to prepare meticulously, for every show they perform.

Eagles will open the first night of the series with Steely Dan and The Doobie Brothers. Classic West will kick off July 15-16 at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, with Classic East scheduled two weeks later, July 29-30, at Citi Field in New York.

I expect the venue and ticket price to compare favorably too.

Pre sale is today. Doubt if there will be any tickets left by Friday

Don is also doing the Runaway Tour that weekend too. July 22-24. So this date is also part of that.

Decided to go all in and booked the Runaway Tour. Don will be doing the Q&A and photo session the Sunday night after the concert - should be quite an experience!

We have planned to go to Los Angeles to visit our daughter out there in July the weekend before and planned to go to the Classic West concert.

We are seeing Timothy in Cincinnati in April, Joe in Memphis in May and now this....going to have an Eagles filled year! :thumbsup:

That's awesome and doing that for his birthday!!! :D Looking forward to hearing who else is going to be there.

I wish I can go to this, but I'm not upset that I'm not going. I've gotten to see Don twice in January.

I went on ticketmaster this morning at 10:00 and tried the Amex presale. All three of the front sections were not available. I don't understand. I don't think these are all reserved for the runaway package?? That would be a large amount of seats. Does anyway have any ideas??

AMEX rarely offers anything in the front sections during any pre-sale anymore unless it's offsides like at the LA Forum no matter which customer service number you enter (save maybe AMEX customers with concierge priviledges).

8778770987 is AMEX number I use.

Stay Tuned!

Stevie also came to my mind to be there. Stevie only has one tour date in July and that's at Hyde Park on the 9th.

I have a few people in mind that's going to be there. His family will probably be there to help celebrate his 70th Birthday. I think this is going to be a great concert and party. I wonder if some of the guest will be singing with Don and Don also doing his songs.

When I first heard that Don was going to do another Runaway Tours, I never thought he would do it on his birthday. Maybe I need to start saving just in case Don do another one next year.

What an awesome way to turn 70! Wish I could be there. All kinds of names are popping into my head. I doubt I can make it work, but you never know. It would be a pretty awesome show. At least he has a Boston show if this doesn't work out for me!

I totally agree with you. I'd love to go to the concert but I would skip the Runaway Tour--too $$. But if I don't make it to Dallas, at least I did get to see him perform earlier this year. :smile:

Good for Don going all out to celebrate! :thumbsup:

Dawn post this in Don's thread. I'm bringing it over.

Ok. Stevie was a giving. Those two always support each other and help each other when it comes playing together. Joe and Timothy will be there to help celebrate their bandmate. Those the only three performers schedule to be there at this moment.

If Stevie's going to be there, so am I. I can't afford the Runaway thing because of some unexpected expenses, but I can get to this concert.

The only problem is that the good seats are pretty much gone at this point and I don't want to pay broker prices.

I'll find a way!

It's really a smart move on either Don or Runaway Tour's end to have this concert open to the public and not just the people going to the Runaway Tour event because if it was only for the people who's paying to be at the Runaway Tour event that weekend of his birthday, they wouldn't fill the place. It would be empty.

I really want to go, but with me having a broke ankle I probably won't be fully heal by then. I hope they put this concert on DVD, but I doubt it.

According to 'Fleetwood Mac News', Joe and Timothy along with Stevie will be some of the special guests at Don's birthday bash concert. If true this will be a very special evening!

Shun - I know you feel your ankle might not be fully healed by the show but I wouldn't let that stop me if everything else worked out. Its still 4 months away. Does the venue have disabled areas?

I was debating on buying tickets for this show. But, no need to now; I just won tickets from my radio station! How cool is that?! Yay me!! :yay:

Congratulations!! :yay:

It should be an awesome concert!! I'm looking forward to it.

The Runaway Tour packages for it have all sold out except for the single "no hotel" option.

That's awesome, ETG!! I'm leaning toward going too, since the Classic West concert is unlikely for me at this point.

Thank you! I agree, it should be awesome!!

Runaway Tour would be great, but definitely out of my budget.

WTG ETG.

Its nice to know a certain blonde haired witch, a guy name Walsh and long haired bass player will be there. I'm looking forward to see who else will be there.

Thanks Delilah!

My husband and I have been talking about going to the Classic West concert too and take in all the Eagles sites in California while we are there. But he may frown on it now and say there is no need....

It's very, very cool. I'm completely jealous. Have a great time!!!!

Thanks everyone!!

Congrats!

ETG, good for you!! :thumbsup: Have fun!

I'm thinking about this. I just got a voucher from American Airlines for getting bumped, and I'm debating between this or a trip to the West Coast (but not for the West Coast Classic Tour, just because I've never been to California.) I'll have to think about it some more. This show is really tempting, though. It seems like it will be one of a kind, and I love that Stevie Nicks and Patty Smyth, but especially Joe and Timothy, will be there helping Don celebrate his birthday.

The show really does sound tempting Mary! You deserve it :)

It sounds like it will be a very special show. I don't think you'd regret going!

I would love to know how Don sounds at Leather and Lace and Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough today. Its been probably 25 years since Don sang SLJAE.

I wonder if Trisha will be there or she's touring with her husband. I need to check and see if Garth has a show on Don's birthday.

I wish I could go to this. It sounds like its going to be a great celebration of Don's 70th Birthday. I don't blame Don of not wanting to be home being depress at turning 70. I know the feeling. When I turned 30 seven years ago, I depressed myself.

ETA: Looking at Garth's dates. Unless he adds more dates from now until July 22nd, Trisha won't be on the road at that time. So Trisha could be another guest.

Don celebrated a wedding anniversary yesterday (May 20th).

May 20, 1995 – Don Henley of the The Eagles gets married for the first time to model Sharon Summerall in Malibu. It’s a star-studded affair with Glenn Frey, Joe Walsh, Randy Newman, Jackson Browne, David Crosby, Jimmy Buffett, Sheryl Crow, and other famous celebs at the ceremony. The house band at the reception features Bruce Springsteen, Sting, Billy Joel and Tony Bennett.

---

If any of these guys turn up for his birthday show, it'll make it into quite an event. :smile:

OK. I looked up Trisha's tour schedule and Garth will be playing at the Forum on Don's birthday. Heck from July 21, 22, 28 and 29. So unless Trisha is doing happy birthday video or decides to not do that one show and go back the next day, she won't be available for Don's birthday celebration concert. I would had loved to hear Trisha and Don singing Walkaway Joe today. Some 25 years later.

Shun, that would be cool to see Don and Trisha sing Walkaway Joe. I have always liked that song.
