I was invited to the Eagles show in Las Vegas on Saturday night and was utterly blown away by those guys. It is easily the best concert I have ever seen (I've been to some good ones)- and I wasn't even expecting to say that! I'd love it if someone would post the setlist from that night: I'm going to make a disc of all of those songs in that order- it was just so memorable.

And hey- if i could ever get my hands on a recording of that live show, I'll think I've gone to heaven.....

The Eagles put on a perfect show in Vegas – not a note missed; not a guitar lick out of place. (Glenn even sounded pretty good on “You Belong to the City;” a song that kind of made me cringe in the 2002 concerts now actually was very strong.) “Wasted Time” drew the usual screaming in between the long notes, and it really was fun to contribute to his performance. (I have no idea whether that bugs the heck out of him or not, but the long pauses in that song practically beg for screaming!) As usual, Joe caused the energy level to go up – both for the band and the audience. Timothy’s voice was as sweet as ever.

Glenn and Don didn’t really seem to banter as much as usual, but I don’t know if that was because I was a little further back than usual (18 rows back) and wasn’t able to hear and see as well. However, all were in good spirits. Don goofed around with Joe a few times; Glenn did his energetic dancing during “All She Wants to Do is Dance.” Heck, just seeing Don playing his electric guitar with Joe, with them both jumping up and down like hard rockers was almost worth the price of the ticket with that moment alone! They still harmonize so perfectly together in song and in their actions; and it’s very obvious that they respect and enjoy each others’ solo works.

It could be that I just have the post-concert blues, but when Glenn sang “We will never be here again,” I almost believed him. And when Don sang “Desperado” he seemed more melancholy and reflective than ever. I left the concert feeling very lucky to have had another chance to see them; and when I read the program afterwards I realized why.

Life’s been good to us for letting us enjoy these past few years with the Eagles, and I hope – as Don mentioned in the new program – that they continue to provide the “hearth” that we all need so very much.

There has been indication that this concert date will be released on DVD. I managed to see the Duluth concert but I will be first in line for the DVD if/when it is released!

Jeff--

I don't know which date they plan to use, but there is a DVD in the works. The plan is to get it out before the Asian tour...but like we said...that's only a plan at this point.

I echo Therese. The show was great and the sound was stellar. Outstanding. Theres, I've got the setlist and will gladly forward it in an email to you. Send me an email from JWFC and I'll get it right out to you. Rob

If they release the Las Vegas show on CD, I'll buy a bunch of copies and give one to everybody I know! I have since heard other good live stuff they've done, and the LV show just won't get out of my head- it was just so so so so so outstanding, in so many ways. That one show has made me a crazy, fanatical fan, and before this I was just another person who'd heard the Eagles all my life and liked them but had never really "followed" them. I vote for a Las Vegas recording!
