I made a review post for tonight. I will try to post pictures from online.
Here are some video from a guy's periscope account. The first three songs were Seven Bridges Road, Take It Easy and One Of These Nights.
They sounded great on Seven Bridges Road and I thought Deacon did a great job with Take It Easy.
I see Steuart and Don is back there on the drums.
Joe introduced Deacon. Deacon wore a Dodger jersey with sunglasses on his head like his father use to do.

Saw on Twitter that the guys had a moment of silence for Glenn.

Bob Seger on Heartache Tonight.
Surprise guest. Bob Seger and he sang Heartache Tonight.
Shun, do you know who sang Tequila Sunrise?
Thanks Shun, you're the best!
I saw Take It Easy on Instagram by looking up Deacon as a hashtag, and I was amazed that he sounded Glenn-like. I was like was this pre-recorded vocals from Glenn? I'm definitely not saying that it is, but I was shocked in a good way. I'm no hearing expert though, so this is just a feeling that he sounded pretty similar to Glenn.
I've heard Deacon sing Hotel California and Change the World (Clapton) on YouTube and never thought that he could sound like Glenn.
So I did something I said I wouldn't do, watch a video from the show. I watched two IG clips, one of Deacon singing and one of Vince singing.
My thoughts are this. To me, Deacon is a spitting image of his dad visually but their voices are rather different. Deacon actually has a lower tone to his voice to my ears and not the same but I'll be the first to admit I actually got choked up watching him sing TIE and it put a smile on my face afterwards. Regardless how I feel about what has went down, that was a cool moment and is why I decided to watch it. Rather if he wanted the band to continue or not, Glenn had to be proud.
Vince, I thought did ok on PEF. I think it was much like the other videos we've seen of him either from the Opry or the KCH. Good, but not the same by any stretch. I think Vince, as great as he is, should thank his lucky stars for being there. I think HE knows how special it is, but still. He seems like a nice guy but I didn't care for his eagerness to join the band or saying how perfect he was for them. And I think Vince is a nice guy, but perhaps a bit too eager to replace a songwriting, singing, and entertainment legend regardless of influence that he may have had on him. Admittedly, it has tarnished my thoughts of Vince a little, I always thought him to be more humble than that. But maybe it's just the press.
Thanks.
I second RCF's post! Thanks Shun for all the updates. I can barely keep my eyes open but I'm so drawn to this show. Deacon sounded great singing Take It Easy. It brought a smile to my face but it was bittersweet at the same time. Is there a video or audio of TITTL? I can't find it. So awesome that Bob Seger showed up!!
I know it was just cell phone audio but I did think SBR sounded anemic without Glenn.

Looking at all the tweets I read tonight, everything was positive. One negative tweet, but he didn't care about the Eagles or Steely Dan. So I guess that doesn't count
Everybody enjoyed Deacon and said he sounded a little like his dad and good reviews from Vince too.
I almost expected Clint Eastwood to come out after the horn intro to HC.
Thanks for keeping us updated, Shun.
Deacon talking before he sang Peaceful Easy Feeling.

Shun, this has been terrific coverage of what's been posted out there for us tonight, and I thank you so much for bringing it to us. Like Delilah, I can hardly keep my eyes open, but I don't want to miss your next post, either! :thumbsup:
The end of the show bow.

Quote from Don I saw on Instagram.

In case this is our last dance we want to thank you all for the support.
Actually Austin. Deacon sang Peaceful Easy Feeling not Vince.
Like I said in another post. Per Irving's interview on Sirius, Sirius radio will play some of the performances of the festival in a few days once they tweet the audio and everything else. He didn't say which performances or how much will be played.
Irving said their probably won't be a tour, but knowing Irving, his mind will change. I saw mostly positive tweets tonight.
WF88, you're right about how Deacon sounds lower than his dad, but it still sounded Glenn-like to me. If Deacon's voice was compared to his dad's recordings in the 70s, then yes, it's not as close. Since as people get older, their voices get lower. So Deacon's voice still was Glenn-like to me, if I compared it to how his dad sounded on the recent tours of the last decade. I'm not saying that it's bad that Deacon's voice isn't as high as his dad's, since that's pretty difficult to adjust as I could imagine. I know that you're not saying it's bad either, since you were just stating an observation. Deacon did a great job for his first big show and that's pretty amazing.
Oh yeah, I thought it would have been weird if Deacon grew out facial hair like his dad (maybe not as thick), so I definitely agree with you on the spitting image part. I was thinking that was the only thing missing, but thankfully, it was missing.
I didn't know that Vince Gill said that stuff about wanting to be in he band so bad. I couldn't blame him for saying that, but I get that it's a bit too eager like you said.
Definitely Deacon :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28dQD53HdxY
Ok I went back and looked and it was Lyin' Eyes. I thought it was PEF, my bad.

So far, Lyin' Eyes and Those Shoes have been blocked, so get these while you can.
Shun - You out did yourself here - Thank You !
I had a hard time with the Instagram but was able see the you tube also. Thanks UTW. Very cool that Bob was there. He loved Glenn so much.
On another note, I do not believe a word Irving says about these being their only shows. If money is to be made Irving will be at the forefront.
Side Note: Just listened to TIE & PEF- Deacon does a great job. He sounds a lot like Glenn but I think, at least from these videos, Glenn had a better voice. Don appeared to be very supportive to Deacon and kept coming over and talking to him in between singing. Joe also seemed very supportive and made a sweet intro of Deacon. They all seemed to enjoy being together. SBR was just so so.
WARNING: THE VIDEOS UTW PUT UP WERE BLOCKED ALREADY 8AM HERE ! I tied to see the others posted and ding - blocked.
I found Those Shoes. Here it is with Peaceful Easy Feeling.

I'm downloading the songs right now.
Thanks for the updates all, I've been trawling various social media outlets trying to piece it together so it's good it's all in one place here!
Decent setlist by the looks of things, solid and well-structured with the odd deep cut for good measure. Deacon certainly did his father proud from what I have seen of him, and it was brilliant to see Bob come out for Heartache Tonight, he absolutely smashed it in the KCH performance.
Here's Lyin' Eyes.

Thanks for those two. Have you found Heartache Tonight?
