Frank (Fan Review)

I was at the Singapore show last night. The set list followed those posted on this site (and the Bangkok review). My comments:

* Quite a show, especially in length and scope of material! Overall, very entertaining and enjoyable!

* All band members showed great energy except Henley. His voice and quite thin and he looked lethargic.

At times, the pacing was quite odd, with high-energy momentum abandoned while the band re-arranged for the next number.

* Good humor throughout the night, especially from Frey who dedicated Lyin'Eyes "... to my first wife, Plaintiff", and Already Gone to George Bush.

* Joe Walsh was, of course, a big crowd pleaser. I don't think the audience actually knew the old James Gang tunes, but the lick were great and the place was rockin'

* That said, rockin' for our Asian friends means occasionally standing (rarely dancing) and clapping loud when the songs end. Yet, I actually heard some pre-and in-song screams, and saw some dancing! The Singapore Indoor Stadium was sold out (11,000+), a fairly rare feat. (I saw some empty seats when Elton John played last year, and The Rolling Stones filled the place up for two nights but only with heavy promo and give-aways.)

As someone who saw The Eagles 25 years ago, I was pleased that we've all made it this far and could enjoy a fun night together...
