Columbia Review
Oh my, my. Woo hoo hoo! Last night was fabulous! I had a wonderful time, even if hubby didn’t get to go. I got to meet up with Peek and her friend Kristy during intermission and after the show. It was great to meet you girls and another member of The Border! My younger brother also came and we hung out a bit before the show. He lives there and the last time he saw them was when he was 17. The same show with me back in 1976. He thought they were awesome! I finally climbed in to bed at 1:35 this morning. Managed to get a bit lost getting out of town, but finally found a street I had heard of and found my route back home.
My niece was glad to take my hubbies ticket, and having never been to see them before, she loved them. She turns 20 next week, and I think we have a new convert! Our seats were 8th row, towards the center, smack between Joe and Glenn. We noticed empty seats in the 4th row and moved up there during the first set, but people came to claim them during OOTN and we had to go back. But that was ok. During Timothy’s little talk he asked if there were any college students there and there were quite a few. He said he was surprised, which got a big laugh.
The guys came out as usual and broke in to “How Long”. They all looked great in their suits, as usual. It was in the upper 70’s outside and a bit warm in the arena. I thought they might lose the coats a little early, but they didn’t take them off till after the acoustic set. I thought Glenn sounded a little hoarse. I was a little bummed because after the song got started everyone sat down. It was typical of the whole night. I never heard anything about any fliers or anyone telling people to sit down. It seemed everyone just wanted to sit back and listen.And I never heard or saw anyone mention anything about cameras. People were obviously taking pictures everywhere, all the time. Never noticed any death stares either! That’s a good thing! I hope mine turn out, but I am short and people in front of me were taller, so we’ll see. I’ll get them up ASAP!
Next I was expecting Busy Being Fabulous. It didn’t happen! Don headed backstage and Timothy came up to the mike and started talking about his new one IDWTHAM! I thought ‘oh no, they’ve cut BBF’. I was shocked. I wonder why? Anyway, Tim sounded and looked great!
Joe did GOTC and he looked and sounded great. I like his longer hair, although he did have it a bit slicked back with product. It got a little fluffier as the show went on.
Don’s first song was HC! He sounded a little hoarse, too. But he really looked fab!
The rest of the set went as usual, but my side of the floor seats remained calm and sat most of the time. They would stand and clap at the end of each song, but immediately sat back down. Grrrrrr. I wanted to dance!
Timothy got a huge ovation after LWKUA.
LROOE and WITW were absolutely beautiful. Somebody rocked!
Finally during Walk Away, Joe got a rousing ovation and people danced during most of it.
The band intros were great. We never got any of Tim singing the ‘tempted’ song or any of Glenn singing ‘My Girl’, but his dance during his intro was too funny! He really got in to it.
Don really got a huge ovation when he was introduced. So did Joe.
After that the guys removed their coats and I knew they were going to get with it! Joe came to the mike and told about Life’s Been Good which everyone thought hilarious. I took another sign and got it on the hat cam, if only very briefly. He really moves fast with it when panning the crowd.
The guys all seemed in a good mood and very animated.
Glenn did TIE and he sounded so good. My alltime favorite.
The crowd took over during the end of Desperado and Don just kind of waited for it to end and the lights went down.I knew it was over.
I took roses and rushed up as far as I could get (behind the 3rd row seats) to try to get them thrown up on stage. I had to pass them forward and never saw if they actually made it.
But, it was a great night. The Eagles are awesome! I’m a bit sad to think this will probably be my last time to see them. PEW has already begun to set in.
