Saw the Eagles last night...

...in Las Vegas and they are as musically tight as ever. :thu

The real surprise was the amount of solo work they played from Don Henley (Boys of Summer, Dirty Laundry), Glen Frey (You Belong to the City), and Joe Walsh (Life's Been Good, Rocky Mountain Way). They played for almost 2 1/2 hours, and returned for an encore with "Take it Easy", "Rocky Mountain Way", and finished with "Desperado".

The only disappointment for me was they didn't play "One of These Nights, or "Best of My Love", but I think that was more a function of the extensive catalog of music they had, and not wanting to play for 3 hours straight.

It sure brought into perspective the crap that's being pushed as "music" these days; no autotune, no synthesised crap, no "talking at me" rap; just 4 guys that can sing, play real instruments, and great harmonies.

Glad I went to see them, well worth the time!
 
I'd love to see them live. They've always had great harmony along with the music.
 
SWMBO and I saw them at the Arrowhead Pond (now called something else) 5 years ago. They were great then to, sounds like a similar show.

I too saw them at the Arrowhead Pond (now Honda Center iirc), a few years ago and they were excellent.
 
Saw them at AAC in Dallas a couple of years ago. Must have been nice for Henley who I believe has a home in Dallas.

The most remarkable thing about the concert is that they played their songs live as they were on the record. Guitar solos, lead volcals, were just as you heard them on the original recording. No long drum solos, or wild extended improvisational guitar solos.
 
I used to "see" Joe Walsh all the time... I just didn't know it.

One day I let my curiosity get the better of me and asked who that was dropping their kid off at my son's preschool in (if I recall correctly) a Lamborghini...

His kid and mine went through several schools together and he would periodically perform for school fundraising activites - never actually met him though I thought it rather nice that he would volunteer his time and talents for small scale events.

I've never seen them live but I'd like to.

Did catch Don Henley a couple of times when he was doing his solo act in the late 80's or early 90's and it was pretty good.
