Las Vegas Show!!

How to describe or put into words the most “AMAZING EVENING” spent with The Eagles. “WOW” is just one of the many first words that come to my mind when it comes to the feelings I felt at the show that night! My mom, dad, daughter and I flew from Canada to see this show! There was no way I was going through the year 2004 without seeing the greatest band alive “rock in concert!” Third year in a row!! It may have put a little bit of a hole in the pocket, but let me tell you, it was well worth every single penny spent! I could re live that night over and over and over again if I could…..

You could feel the excitement as the crowd started to gather at the gates…it was amazing to see and to know that there were that many people out there feeling the same excited feelings that we were that night! It was also really neat to see that the crowd ranged in age from at least my daughters age of 5 and up.. to who knows how old. There probably was even younger kids there than my daughter! The whole atmosphere around us was just filled with such excited anticipation!

We went straight to our seats to check out how close we were to the stage. We were on Timothy’s side and were about 30 rows back I was happy with the seats, but like always; still determined to get closer to the stage at some point in the night. Security was really tight at that venue let me tell you..I thought for sure that there would be absolutely no way of getting remotely close to that stage at all…just when I thought I would give up on the idea of sneaking my way to the front….all it took was just a little bit of friendly talk with the security guard at the end of our row and what do ya know..right after intermission he moves us up to the third row in the middle..what can I say ..when you got it ..you got it…but now I need to go back to the beginning because this part of being moved up to the third row was after intermission…and you don’t get that part until closer to the end…

Before the show started my daughter and I were very thrilled to have met Timothy’s wife Jean. She was standing just a few feet away from us and me being the “not so shy person” that I am walked up to her and asked her if she wouldn’t mind coming over to where we were sitting to meet my daughter. She was nice to do so and it was very exciting for us, as we are big time Timothy fans! Thank you very much Jean!

Within a half hour of that exciting experience out come the “Gods” of all music. Timothy, Glenn, Don and Joe! Amazing sight to see! They started off with ‘The Long Run” and as usual were in tip top shape in every aspect of their performance! They all seemed calm, cool, collected and playful. Smooth operators! They played up there in front of us with such ease. Don was absolutely amazing when he sang ‘Wasted Time”..truly amazing that man is! Timothy was just a dream as always. Both of his solo songs LWKUA and ICTUW were to die for! His sweet voice and his sexy look. You couldn’t ask for anything better! He also had his guitar strap on his guitar. Good choice of colors! It suits him perfectly! Way to go “FEED THE FIRE” Group! Glenns “You Belong to the City” sounded a lot better than it ever has in the past! Boy, can that guy ever move! He was dancing away when Don was singing “All she wants to do is dance”

Joe was just a riot. He is a wild and crazy guy and every song that he sings drives the crowd just as wild and crazy as he is! He rocks! They are all amazing in their own special way and when you bring all there amazing talents and their amazing voices together, it is a match made in heaven! After intermission they came back on and they were sitting on stools..it was like Hell Freezes Over all over again. It was brilliant! I really enjoyed “Hole in the World”.

I would have to say that the biggest highlight of the evening for us was when we got moved up to the third row in the middle section. We could almost reach out and touch them we were so close. My daughter had her “ I love Timothy” shirt on and when we first got up to the third row I propped her up in my arms and Timothy took note of her right away and we could see him squinting his eyes to try to read what was on her shirt and then after that he waved to her a few times. That was very exciting for my daughter to experience especially it being her first concert ever. That will be a moment she will never forget! She still talks about it! My mom was so excited to be that close I thought she was just going to take a running jump over to the front row from the third row. The security guard kept pushing her back to her seat. It was hilarious to watch! She was thrilled and didn’t realize how amazing it was to be that close to them. Watch out for the 59 year old grandma! I can only imagine what she will be like if I ever get her up to the front row! I can just see it now the papers will read ‘ 59 year old grandma jumps onto stage and throws her arms around Glenn, had to pry her off !’ haa haa.

The whole night was amazing! I look forward to many many more nights to come! FAREWELL 2 PLEASE!!!!!
