Mark (Fan Review)
I saw the show in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Area on Sat. 5-22-04.
The Eagles still have it going on.
Opening with "The Long Run" and continuing through
the vast majority of their hits plus some Glenn Frey, Don Henley and Joe Walsh solo efforts,
the bad was flawless in there now legendary and polished performances of some of pop culture's most
classic tunes.
The Eagles horn section consisting of 4 players gave many songs a great deal of sonic depth.
The guitarist replacing Don Felder was note perfect on every lick.
Surprisingly, all the original members voices where just like we remember them on the recordings from the
Seventies and Eighties. Don Henley's vocals seemed to get tighter and crisper as the evening progressed - just shy
of three hours. Although, this is an Eagles concert, Joe Walsh's performance of his classic 1973 hit "Rocky Mountain Way"
was terrific and perhaps the highlight of the evening. An original blues intro kept the crowd guessing until the famous guitar cords intro of "Way" were strummed out by Walsh. Joe rocked the house.
Another highlight from earlier in the evening was :"New Kid In Town" and "Wasted Time" which where sung to
perfection Frey and Henley, respectively.
The Eagles sound mix in this venue was excellent in all locations of the arena. Kudos to the all the sound engineers and technicians for a most enjoyable event. And thank you Eagles from not hanging it up yet - lots of steam left in these boys for more "Farewell" tours to come.
