[Prettymaid]

Great find Koala! I see 3 day passes are sold out. I wonder what day they are playing?

[TimothyBFan]

Mission for anyone who chooses to take it....Find that picture WITHOUT the huge banner across their foreheads!! Beautiful smiling picture of them all.

[Prettymaid]

Yeah, Joe looks especially hot! :drool:

They're the headliner on Sunday night. Fitting -- save the BEST for last!

[Koala]

Thanks WT, for finding the photo without the banner!:)

[sodascouts]

AWESOME! I think my little sister who lives in Austin is gonna get a visit from me in October! ;)

Are the Eagles included in the general admission price? If so, what a deal!

[Brooke]

WT, thank you! Great pic! :thumbsup:

[tbs fanatic]

[tequila girl]

OMG That looks horrendous!

[Brooke]

I'm sure the Eagles will be performing under drier conditions! :lol:

I need to let my daughter know about this. She always goes to the ACL festival.

Well I seem to be using this little smiley sign more and more for reporters...http://bestsmileys.com/signs5/21.gif

I can't stand The Eagles. Can't tolerate their lyrics. Can't bear their songs. Can't stomach Don Henley's super-smooth voice over super-smooth instrumentation, all filtered through super-smooth production. I know The Eagles rose to radio dominance before bands were more likely to wrap the blues in folk or combine rock with country, and they stood out in their era as a result. But their music doesn't stand the test of time, most obvious when lined up next to genre-blenders like Iron & Wine or Neil Young or even Michael Jackson. Cheesy lyrics; annoying songs.


Does this mean doom for the fest? Doubtful. The second-tier of headliners includes one of The Strokes' few announced tour dates in years, along with amazing live acts like M.I.A., LCD Soundsystem, Sonic Youth, The Flaming Lips, Monsters of Folk, and on and on and on. I'm personally happy with sleeper inclusions like Midlake, Sarah Harmer, and Mayer Hawthorne. And the folks who come for The Eagles and Phish will certainly stay for Robert Earl Keen, Pat Green, Blues Traveler, and Lucero.

This is just funny! The same person wrote these two remarks. Okay - so these are the acts this guy is looking forward to hearing, and he says the Eagles "music doesn't stand the test of time" ...

M.I.A., LCD Soundsystem, Sonic Youth, The Flaming Lips, Monsters of Folk, Midlake, Sarah Harmer, Mayer Hawthorne, Robert Earl Keen, Pat Green, Blues Traveler, and Lucero.

I guess there is just no accounting for taste sometimes.

I know I'm old, but never even heard of most of these acts. Speaking of the test of time - wonder how many people will know any of these names 30 or 40 years from now. :shrug:

[Brooke]

Really! The only one I've heard of is Pat Green!

This guy doesn't know what music is! http://bestsmileys.com/signs4/21.gif

Ooh, I see everybody's getting some use out of Willie's smiley link today! :applause:

[Freypower]

'Genre benders like Iron & Wine'? Who the hell are they?

This must be the first time Henley's voice has been described as 'super smooth'.

'Cheesy lyrics; annoying songs'. OK, pal. JUSTIFY IT. Why? Or are you just another in the growing list of 'journalists' who think it is more fun to vent their petty prejudices than it is to write about news objectively.

[Brooke]

I know! I would never describe his voice like that! To me it's raspy, scratchy, smokey, etc. Beautiful, but definitely not smooth! :rolleyes:

[sodascouts]

Reading these items just makes me roll my eyes. They're just your typical pretentious music critics loudly proclaiming their preference for obscure indie groups in order to prove that they have a much more discriminating musical pallette than the plebeian masses.

WhatEVER.

I'm packing right now. I hit Mississippi tonight, which is a 4 hour drive. There, I'll pick up my Mississippian friend who is going to accompany me to see the Eagles - it's her first time to go to an Eagles concert. Then, early tomorrow morning, it's off to Austin to my sister's place (9 hours). Of course, the show is on Sunday, then on Monday I do it all again since I have to be in Memphis to teach my class at 6:00 pm.

It's a pretty brutal pace - but anything for the Eagles! ;)

[Glennsallnighter]

Oh absolutely Nancy! Anything for our boys! Yeah?

Good luck, safe driving and I hope your friend really enjoys here first Eagles gig. Well she couldn't have a more experienced tour guide!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Have a blast and tell the boys 'hi' for us! :lol:

[luvthelighthouse]

That's dedication Soda! I know you are gonna have a great time! Be careful driving after the show. That's going to be long day, but hopefully the high of concert will keep up your energy.

I can't wait for another of your awesomely (is that a word? :lol:) detailed reviews!

[Koala]

Have a fantastic time everyone who goes! Can't wait to hear all about it!

[EaglesFanatic]

Have fun, and have a safe drive!

[MikeA]

Enjoy Soda! But do please be careful!

[TimothyBFan]

I so admire your dedication!! Be safe and bring back another great review!

[MikeA]

Forgot to mention..."Band Of Heathens" is playing at ACL this go-round. I don't know if they are through with their spot or not, but if you hear them announced, give them a LISTEN. They are the most fantastic "new" band I've heard. Sort of a cross between Blues, Cajun, Rock and Country....sound a little familiar? *G*

[Prettymaid]

Soda, you're meeting up with Cami, right?

[carol7lynn]

Have fun! :partytime: Can't wait to hear all about it! Rock til ya drop!

Carol-Lynn:nahnah:

[Wildthyme]

Well I am in Austin.., Had some awesome Texas BBQ for dinner at the Salt Lick in Driftwood on the way up from San Antonio. Now I am going to relax and get ready for tomorrow... :blueblob:

[Stars]

Have fun at the concert-can't wait to hear all about it!!:partytime:

[sodascouts]

Safe in Austin! Just talked to Cami on the phone and we're hooking up tomorrow morning. Now, off for a good night's sleep before the big day!

[Peekaboo]

:jealous: I so wish I could be there too. Glad you both made it, Nancy and Cami!! Have fun, girls :rockon:!! Hurry back with the details. And pics too...Please!!

[Wildthyme]

I am waiting in line to get in. The guys are on stage doing soundcheck right now. Think I'd get in trouble for jumping the fence? :rofl:

[carol7lynn]

It's worth a try Cami! I say go for it.

Good to hear everyone is safe and sound and in line! Drink lots of fluids. 12 hrs to go! Keep us posted.

Carol-Lynn
SoCalGal:nahnah:

[Prettymaid]

That's a pretty early soundcheck for them, but they've got no choice since performers will be on stage all day.

Cami, you are a real trooper! You and Nancy both. I sure hope some of these performers are worth listening to, for your sake.

[Maleah]

Don't forget to watch online tonight guys!! I can't wait!!

[Prettymaid]

I saw where they are streaming some shows - are they streaming the Eagles??? :stunned:

[Prettymaid]

It doesn't list them on the broadcast schedule. :-(

[Maleah]

Oh really? What the heck, it said I could watch their show on my phone but that was through the vcast program on there. Well that's disappointing. Sorry for getting you excited! lol

[Brooke]

Soda and Wt, have a fabulous time! Can't wait to hear all about it!

[Troubadour]

Have a wonderful time, you guys, and be safe! Can I just express how relieved and HAPPY I am that Don appears to be healthy again? Send him a big kiss and lots of love from all of us.

[Prettymaid]

Absolutely. No more sick Eagles. It's simply not allowed. :fingerwag:
