Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne,VIC - Feb. 22, 2015

Two constrasting reviews.

Starting with the bad one. The reviewer is clearly indifferent to the music so chooses to critique the "history" part of the show based on a superficial knowledge of the band's history.

Hmm. The writer of this seems to object to the fact that the guys discuss their history and play the old songs. Well, it *is* called The History of the Eagles. Obviously someone who doesn't like the Eagles or appreciate these great songs. Probably allergic to melody.

More reviews. It's hard to believe that these reviewers attended the same concert!

Question - Joe didn't play Funk 49 & LBG last time they were in Australia?

Yes he did. The writer is thinking right back to the F1 show, forgetting the band was here in 2010. Yet both those songs were played on the F1 tour as well. What a shame to see the entire review so dominated by a discussion on phone usage.

As for the second review it's typical of the SMH/Age. Once again the show should be all about Walsh. As for not talking about the problems etc, they weren't there to do that. That was all in HOTE. I don't know what these reviewers want, or what they expect.

Don't get me wrong; I love Joe but I get very tired of reviewers thinking he's the be all & end all of the band & the only member they will be bothered to write about. It's lazy & it's an easy way out.

Yeah, all's about Walsh according to that reviewer, yawn
Also he didn't seem to understand the point of having a HISTORY tour plus I find it odd that he wants them to talk about sex and drugs and such, after all the great music is what remains of the stoned decade of the 1970s and it's also what is the most lastingly intriguing part of their history

The writer for The Age seems to be clueless that it's the music that made them famous, not the sex/drugs antics. Besides, the guys have successfully key-holed that part of their history right where it belongs....in the past.
