Hey cm, you did it! Nice pics!

Yes, you got lots of cool stuff! And a denim jacket on the way! The one time I did the VIP years ago, we didn't get much at all. Let's see if I can even remember.....a leather journal, lanyard, dinner, front row seat.... can't remember anything else at all! And it cost $895! Oh well, times change!

They were sick? Never would have known! Glenn mentioned his cold, but it didn’t affect his singing. I told my son, “I wonder if he’ll sing ‘Already Gone’ if his voice is shaky?” Not only did he sing it, he nailed it – even the high “Who-hoo-hoo – my, my!” phrase. They were all phenomenal. Don’s voice was as strong as ever (high notes on “One of These Nights” were crystal clear), and Timothy is still hitting those stratospheric high harmonies. And Joe Walsh…well, Joe’s from another planet – maybe another dimension. He brought the house down. Was really pleased to see original guitarist Bernie Leadon with them – a real treat. I liked the whole History of the Eagles setup. I’ve seen a lot of phenomenal concerts in my time, but this one was the best ever – hands down.

The Eagles have been my favorite band for over 40 years. James Taylor and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young got me started singing and playing guitar but the Eagles got me into songwriting. I’m still singing, playing, and writing 43 years later, and still playing solo and with my band – and we play a lot of Eagles songs.

This is the second time I’ve seen the Eagles. The first time was in 1971 on their very first tour before people knew who they were. They were playing small clubs and bars, and they landed at a club called Reflections (now a parking lot) in Clifton by the University of Cincinnati campus. They mingled with the crowd on breaks and I bought Don a beer (even though he got his for free) and told him, “I play in a band, too.”

Kids…

I had the unmitigated gall to tell Don Henley that I played in a band, too – and 43 years later I’m still playing in my band.

Oh – and Don’s still playing in his band, too!

Great review. Thanks!

Just out of curiosity, I checked Ticketmaster on Sunday morning. There it was, 5th row floor seat for $185. I was already going to be in Ohio for the Columbus show on Wednesday, so I couldn't resist. The winter storm made for an interesting drive, but it was worth it. As the folks above have stated, this venue has many shortcomings, but it couldn't stop a great show from happening!

Glenn did expand on his Ted Nugent/Detroit joke. He said that Nugent might find out that he was talking about him and shoot him with his bow and arrow, which was pretty funny (Nugent is an avid hunter).
