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.

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!!!!!

Another highlight of the trip was having the pleasure of meeting Lynn, Kelli, Melody and Joandra for breakfast the next morning! We talked about the amazing night over pancakes and eggs! I am glad that this trip gave me the opportunity to meet these great gals! What a blast! I look forward to hanging out with all you gals next year! This time next year I hope we are all together again! Love you Lynn!!!!!!!! J Many thanks to Mel and Lisa for running such an awesome website! These gals are great! If you need the info, they have the answers!!!! I am proud to be a part of this one big happy EAGLES family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Las Vegas (Mary Fan Reivew)

First, let me apologize for lateness of review, the hotel I stayed at had NO NET ACCESS & I just got home yesterday---OK, here goes the review.......Vegas definitely is a great place to see any concert & especially the Eagles, just fantastic. I had been to the August concert in Vegas last August & just couldn't resist going again. This years concert was a bit shorter than last years cause the cut out "James Dean" for this show (one of my favorites so I was just a bit disappointed), but, other than that, the show was Fantastic as always. My seat was pretty good (tho not as good as last year when I sat in the 3rd row). This time around, I couldn't afford anything more that the $75 seats---HOWEVER, I managed to get one of the best seats in the "cheap seat section". I sat on Henley's side in the 1st row which actually wasn't that far from the stage so I didn't even need binoculars to get a great view. OK, enough about my "issues", on the stuff everyone really wants to know.

The guys looked great, as usual. Tim wore a blue shirt/black vest. Don had on the tan plaid shirt that he has been wearing for most of the shows. Glenn wore a blue & white stripped shirt for the 1st set & a blue plaid shirt for the second & Joe had on a t-shirt & camoflague pants & announced that he was running for president again this year cause "he felt he could do a MUCH better job than the guy in the White House right now"---this got a big round of applause. The set list was virtually the same as all of the previous shows of the tour EXCEPT they opened with "Long Run" & saved "Take It Easy" for the end. Don seemed to be at his grouchiest (love it when he makes that cool grumpy look whenever he pounds those drums real hard) and he really ranted lots & lots about Rubert Murdock just before singing "Dirty Laundry". Henley did seem to be a bit down during the whole concert which made me wonder what was bothering him ---but it sure didn't affect his voice any, he was as fantastic as always especially on "Wasted Time" & "Desperado". Well, thats about it except that I think Joe spoted my "I'm Pukin NOW!!" sign which made me happy-----I make sure to bring my sign whenever I go to a concert---actually its the second one I've made because I can't use my first one anymore cause it has Henley's autograph on it

from when I met him in DC. Still, I would LOVE TO GET THE REST OF THE GUYS AUTOGRAPHS ON THE SECOND SIGN ONE OF THESE OLD DAYS!!!! Till then, I'll just have to keep goin to more fantastic Eagles concerts till it happends. I recommend to anyone who hasn't seen the Eagles live yet---GO, YOU'LL SEE THE SHOW OF A LIFETIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
