Topic: The Eagles

So the Lovely missus and I went to see The Eagles last Saturday night at the Hollywood Bowl.

First time at that venue and it is quite amazing.  Getting there and getting out is a pain in the ***, but once inside, music, starry night and songs you knew all the words to.

Don, Glen, Timmothy & Joe are all in their early 60's.  I didn't have high expectations for sound quality.  However, the harmony of those 4 gentlemen absolutely blew me away.  Individually, their voices are starting to falter some, but when they sang together, the harmony and acoustics were simply stunning.

They came on stage about 7:45, played till about 9:15, took about a 20 minute break then played till 11:00.

Be it the natural ampitheater, the $$$$$$ in equipment they used, the 35 years of singing together or some combination of all three, this was simply the highest quality sound I have ever experienced at a live show.  It was 3 hours with 17,000 fans singing the songs we grew up hearing, mixed in with a few new ones from their newest recording.

All things considered, I really enjoyed the event.

Hey Joe - It's close to home and your buddy Mayer is playing there soon.  It would be sooooo cool to see you perform there.

Re: The Eagles

Sounds like a fabulous time to me. Timeless music in a great venue. Of all physical gifts, the voice is the last to go. Great to hear they still can bring it. cool

Re: The Eagles

Hi Rockfarmer,

I wasn't that excited to see the Eagles, my husband wanted to go more than me, BUT I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the show last time they came 'round Philly.  It was GREAT, they still have it.  And how about those guitar faces Joe Walsh makes?  cool
