I try to check Don's official site once a week or so, and there are actually solo dates posted there today! Finally, GOOD news!

He is playing Borgata in Atlantic City on June 8 & 9! Tickets go on sale 5/12.

This may end up being a great summer after all! Now…..I am holidng my breath to see if he comes any closer to me….like Tunica….

Dreamer, I want to SO badly. I just don't know if I can travel that far. That's why I am hoping for more dates a little more South.
I just don't know if there will BE any more dates, so I am definitely torn.

Seeing Don solo is on top of my "to see" wish list. Sadly I can't get to the States this year due to work commitments but hopefully one day I'll be there to see him do his thing! Enjoy the shows you lucky gals that go along and please give us lots of details and pics 8)

Very cool! I don't think I can afford to go that far either, but I'm sure hoping he comes closer to me.

To me this would indicate that an Eagles album is even farther off than we thought. :cry:

Let's hope not, Freypower.

You guys in the US are so lucky. 8) Glenn and Don doing solo shows, that's what I never get to see. :(

Maybe it just means they got offers they couldn't pass up? ;) I sure wish I could afford to go! I'd hit both of 'em up! :P

IF they are going to do more shows I wish they would announce them BEFORE they start selling tickets.

I want to see Don, too, but that is way too far for me! :(

DonFan
05-08-2007, 09:39 PM
Okay, here are two more dates—maybe he will add even more!

Don is playing Niagara Falls right before he plays Borgata, but so far he is going further away from me, not closer. :cry:

Check Ticketmaster for more info.
(I'm going to be checking it daily!)

Brooke
05-08-2007, 10:23 PM
Well DonFan, at least there is another date. Which means there might be even more! :pray:

DonFan
05-14-2007, 05:59 PM
Don has added one more date!

8/4/2007 at the Nokia Theatre in Grand Prairie, Texas.
Pre-Sale is this Thursday, 5/17 & Friday 5/18 at 10 am .


This one I might be able to see! Hooray!

Woot! Thanks for the info, Dana!

Maybe Don will add even more dates. Hope he comes to the midwest!

That's great news about Don's solo dates. Df, I do hope you'll be able to make it to at least one of them - we'll be needing a review!

Woo-hoo!!!! It's about time Don's performing near the Dallas area. I really should go since it's not that far from where I live. :D

Yes - Holly, you really should go to this if there is any way possible. My theory is that you should never pass up the opportunity to see an Eagle if they are in a reasonable distance from you. :wink: Besides, we would love to have a review.

It looks like I'll probably be going. :D
I told my mom earlier and I've been doing Weight Watchers since March of 2006 and I've lost 93.8 pounds so far. My mom had been talking about having a party for when I lose 100 pounds and I've told her I don't want a party (unless she wants to hire Don as the entertainment which I highly doubt she'd want to do that). So I mention to her that a certain drummer who lives here in Dallas (like I do) is playing a concert in August and that she should buy me a ticket as a reward so it looks like that's going to happen. :D

Holly, I can't think of a better way to celebrate than seeing Don or any of the Eagles! You must go! 8)

And congratulations on the weight loss! Way to go! :)

DonFan

Apparently, the latest news is that Don is sharing the bill in Dallas with The Pretenders and the Stray Cats. While I like both of those groups, I was really hoping for two hours of Don. 8) I have been trying to juggle schedules here so I could plan the trip and that isn't happening either, so I guess I will have to pass on that show. :cry:

I guess I will just save my money, cross my fingers, and hope for another show closer to me. Don seems to like playing in Atlanta--I SO hope he adds a solo show there, or in one of the casinos in the region, like Tunica.

Thanks, Brooke! I'm pretty excited about going. :D

Congratulations from me too, Holly--and we want a full report after the show!

05-16-2007, 03:51 PM
Holly - What a wonderful gift to you from your mom. Congratulations on your achievements - that is so awesome. Have a wonderful time at the show and don't forget to bring us back lots of details.

So hmmm - let me see - I wonder how much weight I have to lose before I can talk my mom into buying me ILAA tickets for the next Eagles tour. :wink: :D

glenneaglesfan
05-16-2007, 05:23 PM
Gosh, SH, that's a fantastic achievement, and what an incentive! I do hope it works out, and that you get a great seat. I'd love to see The Pretenders as well - Brass In Pocket is one of my all time favourite songs!

SweetHolly
05-16-2007, 11:47 PM
Thanks y'all. It hasn't been too hard losing the weight. I'm halfway to my goal. Of course, I'll be giving y'all a full report. I'm really excited about going. And another reason I'm doing Weight Watchers is because I want to look good in case I ever "accidentally" run into Don here in Dallas. :D :wink:

Good grief Holly - you sure are giving me lots of reasons to go on a diet! :wink: :D

Don has added another date--he will be playing in Glendale, Arizona at the Peak Festivus on August 8th along with the Stray Cats and the Pretenders. Tickets go on sale Monday, May 21st.

I am glad that he has added another date--now this is starting to look like a mini-tour with the Stray Cats and the Pretenders.

Another thought—
Doesn’t Stevie Nicks head up the Heart Association fundraiser in AZ about this time every summer, and doesn't Don try to make an appearance with her most years? That might be why he did this—so he could play the same general area twice.

Unfortunately, Stevie hasn't done a benefit for the Arizona Heart Institute since 2005, when her father died. The benefits were done for him, so maybe she hasn't wanted to do one since. We're hoping that's just temporary, but so far there has been no announcement.

If there is one, though, I imagine Don will be involved unless there is a conflict in scheduling. He is very supportive of her.

SweetHolly

I'm glad that Don is still very supportive of Stevie. They are so adorable together. :D

I'm really serious about "accidentally" running into Mr. Don Henley since we both live in Dallas. He doesn't live that far from me. One of my dad's friends sees the Don at Starbucks sometimes here in Dallas. :D 8) :wink:

Yup he goes there and I know which one he goes to. I love coffee too. I can't forget how much I love Don either. 8) :wink:

Don continues to add and change solo tour dates. He has cancelled his Albuquerque date and is now playing the same night in El Paso.

sodascouts
07-12-2007, 11:15 PM
Yikes, that sucks. Wonder what happened?

DonFan
07-12-2007, 11:25 PM
I wonder too. It makes me nervous when dates get cancelled. Maybe it was a problem with the venue.

glenneaglesfan
07-13-2007, 12:35 PM
I hope no one here had tickets for that show. I presume the face value would be refunded, but it doesn't make up for the disappointment of not seeing Don, supposing one couldn't get to the other venue. :?

sodascouts
07-13-2007, 12:41 PM
Not to mention airfare, if anyone had planned on flying in for it. Oh well, at least it wasn't canceled day-of.

DonFan
07-26-2007, 04:46 PM
To borrow a line from Zermie in another thread, Don's solo shows in Dallas and OKC are a little over a week away, and I'm pukin'! 8)

The last time I saw Don was September 2005---I am sooooooo ready!

SweetHolly
07-27-2007, 12:33 AM
I can't wait to go see Don at his Dallas concert. I'm counting the seconds till I go. :D 8)

SweetHolly

I'll look for you next week in Grand Prairie, SH!I'll be there. I'm not too sure of my seat since my mom bought the ticket and since she hasn't shown me the ticket yet but she said the seat was up high. I can't wait to go. Do you want to meet up before the show?

DonFan
07-28-2007, 10:19 PM
Sure! I'll send you a pm.

Two days to go and I am SO ready! I just read this online:
----------------------------------------------

Jack's Big Show featuring Don Henley

This shindig, sponsored by 100.3 Jack FM, is an eclectic swath of rock that wrangles an Eagle, a few Pretenders and some Stray Cats onto the same stage for one night only. Whether affable rockabilly is more your bag or you crave earnest, jangly rock, you can feel pretty good about plunking down the cash to attend this particular concert because, according to Jack FM's Web site, one dollar from every ticket sold will benefit the Texas-based Caddo Lake Institute, a private foundation designed to, according to its Web site, "protect and improve the ecological and cultural integrity of the Caddo Lake ecosystem."
--------------------------------------------------


I love the fact that Don has arranged for part of this fabulous concert to benefit the Caddo Lake Institute.
