Pretty good review - tho I don't understand why he had to put in the last line.

I highlighted a part that really got my attention!

Here's another one from the Miami Herald

At the end of a long night, the four Eagles might even have had, gasp, fun. The audience certainly did.

Gasp! You bet they did!

Thanks Willie!

Now that is a good review, by a writer who knows how to turn a phrase. I love the passages below:

The vocal harmonies, already crystalline in the first portion, gelled even more pristinely on several acoustic numbers performed by the singers while seated on stools. No More Walks in the Wood and Waiting in the Weeds were sublime. The Eagles, with numerous accompanists, delivered the exotic and lengthy Long Road Out of Eden title track, Henley's topical treatise on politics, war, greed and ''cultural junk,'' as a centerpiece and accented it with Walsh and Steuart Smith's stinging electric guitar fills.

Newer Eden tunes like the infectious rocker Somebody held their own with the classics and were well received by an adoring audience.

The Eagles were polished but playful on slashing rock numbers like Walsh's comical 1978 solo hit Life's Been Good, the landmark Life in the Fast Lane and a couple of Walsh's James Gang staples.

The finale, Desperado, the Eagles' old ballad standard, found Henley's distinctive rasp sounding as pliable and soulful as it did when the band originally released this tune during President Nixon's abridged second administration.

"Crystalline harmonies," indeed. Yes, "Somebody" is always well-received by the adoring audiences. The guys were "polished and playful"--I love it. And Henley's distinctive rasp is always soulful to me.
Thanks for posting!

TBF, I liked the review you posted too, especially the Hotel Baghdad part you highlighted. I never thought of it that way before.

And how nice for a reviewer to emphasize Don's contemplative side in this quote:
Don Henley sang it in his wistful, reflective way, sounding more contemplative than self-righteous.
Bravo!

This was one of the most positive (read 'accurate'!) and well-written reviews ever, unless you want to include those that we Borderers write!

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I don't see any more photos apart from the ones in the thumbnails.

I don't see any more either. Although I have got the thumbnails which are shown to full screen size. Has everybody else done that?
