Life In The Fast Lane
Heartache Tonight
One Of Those Nights
That was almost the exact set list with the exception of "Eagles Blues" was not included. He performed a song he wrote earlier in this career instead. That was fine.
The playing? Above average with an experienced, professional band.
Yeah, it was kind of an Eagles Greatest Hits show. It was sort of surprising that he performed as much material from before his time (from the 1st & Desperado), but that's kind of what people expect, right? My biggest reason for wanting to see him was to better determine what his contributions were on those songs. Maybe he should've gotten a writing credit on "Life in the Fast Lane." After seeing Joe Walsh do it during the Strat Pack concert, it was my assumption that it was mostly his work.
He opened with HC, as was to be expected. He added in two cover tunes from the two Stevies: Vaughan ("Pride and Joy") and Wonder ("Superstition"). DF was very chatty with the crowd, and the reason he chose to come to Niagara Falls was made clear after he told the audience that his fiancee is from nearby Niagara-on-the-Lake. So, we were fortunate.
My only criticisms would be for him to have included more of his own songs - "Visions" would've been fun, and might not have gotten played live much, if at all, over the years. "All of You" would've been a good campanion piece to go along with "Heavy Metal."
Unforunately, there was no merchandise stand. I was hoping to purchase Heaven and Hell at the concert, but got it from Barnes & Noble yesterday. Can't wait to read it!
All in all, he's a very talented guitar player. The Eagles sound is not the same without him, but that's all history now. Considering it was $30 to sit in the 8th row, this was an excellent value in a cozy, pleasant atmosphere.
