    Default Philadelphia, PA 7-14-08

    Hello All

    Last night the Eagles kicked off the 2nd leg of their American LROOE tour and literally blew the roof off the Wachovia Center. Philly fans were ramped and ready for anything but everything is what they got. During 'Life's Been Good To Me' the woman in front of me (I was in the second row directly across from Joe.) flashed him and he caught it on his web-cam-now that's what I'm talking about! I'm too old to do that but God Bless America. The boys of summer got a big testosterone kick out of it and just to seal the deal she did it again as they said their good-byes. That's a show they won't forget for awhile. But, the Eagles gave as much as they got. Last night's Philly show was the best show that I have seen since the 2nd Nokia show when even the L.A. Times admitted the Eagles rocked the house.

    Timmy got to do 3 numbers tonight unlike Newark doing my favorite ICTYW-Well I can-he's too cute for that suit! OhhhBaby! WhooHoo! Nothing new to add about the set list but their playing was superb, spontaneous, spectacular and sooooo hot! Joe was smokin' hot and shredded guitar chords faster than a hot knife through butter. Angles cried Amen, I kid you not!

    Got to hit the road for Atlantic City but wanted to get my review in first. More to come-gotta run.

    Here is a review of last night's concert.

    http://www.philly.com/philly/news/20...ia_Center.html

    The writer seemed predisposed not to like the concert, and it shows in the review. The pot shots at their age, especially that crack about "seeing my orthopedist in the crowd--wonder if he was there to make a house call" are particularly harsh. What does their age have to do with their ability to play fantastic music? Give me a damn break.

    Review number two. This one is a bit more balanced:

    Thanks for you review Carol7lynn. As for the other two, fuggedaboutit. To quote Rick Nelson, "you can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself" and obviously the guys are pleased with their performances. And obviously so are their fans cause they keep selling tickets. I personally can't wait to attend a concert, and I don't care if they sound too perfect, they are "the f***ing Eagles man!"
    I possess the silver bullets to slay the demons from my past. How do I know? Because I survived them-and I am already stronger than I believe.
