This is a show review thread. While one can argue I spent too much time talking about security, it had a large impact on the concert experience for many - not just me - and I was prompted to be more explicit about my dissatisfaction only in reply to VA's post; my first post just mentions it. Still, I'm not going to apologize for talking about it. Just like we talk about the seats and acoustics of the Forum in these reviews, we can talk about the security at the Forum.
That said, I reiterate that I find no fault with the quality of the Eagles' performances.
While I liked Wednesday's better, it wasn't because the band sucked on Friday. Far from it - they put on a great show as they always do. With the Eagles, it's not about "were they good?" It's simply a matter of HOW good! My opinion is that while Friday's performances were very good, I simply thought Wednesday's were even better.
When I say this, I do not mean to disparage those who found the Friday show superior. It is just my opinion and obviously it is not even a majority one, judging by the reviews here. They are overall very positive, and even with my bad experience, I feel the show is worth the money.
The History of the Eagles tour is amazing, as are the Eagles.
