Red Rocks Casino,Vegas-9/18/2010

[carol7lynn]

Couple of vids up on YouTube already from last night's show. Here's the link:http://www.youtube.com/user/lvsammy26

Also a copy of the set list from last night's show indicates he ended with Desperado and cut the R&B cover last night. The George Jones cover was "I Just Don't Give A Damn." Turns out one of the other two mystery cover songs was a song covered by Garth Brooks and written by among others Tommy Sims entitled "It Don't Matter to the Sun." Now all I need to do is figure out what the last song he did Friday night was. http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/don-henley/2010/the-sandbar-red-rock-hotel-and-casino-las-vegas-nv-4bd5d3fe.html

Nice setlist!

If I click on the link , unfortunately, I only can read no available videos. What a bummer.

THATS WHY THE SHOW SUCKED....DON WAS AMAZING...the drunken few and crowd singing louder than Don was so SCREWED UP!

The most screwed up concert I have been to...not Don..but the way Red Rock Casino handled the clients...NO RESPECT AT ALL! RED ROCK STAFF BLOWS AND HAVE NO SKILL SETS WITH IT COMES TO CUSTOMER SERVICE!

I was right in the front with all the bullshit that was happening right up to the start as well as during the show.

I WOULD NEVER ATTEND ANOTHER AT RED ROCK CASINO!

First of all - welcome to The Border, LVLEXUS. Glad you found us.

Sorry that Red Rocks Casino sucked, but it's good to know that Don was great in spite your bad experience. Since you were there, can you give your opinion on this? I thought Don's voice sounded weak in the video, but it's probably just the quality of the video or the fact that the crowd was singing so loudly.

[MikeA]

Sorry I can't add anything to this. I've never been to Red Rocks though we have planned to go there several times and just haven't followed through.

I've been to concerts as several other Venus an never had such an experience as LVLEXUS reports. That's sad. Sad that they would allow obnoxious intoxicated concert-goerers to turn it into such a shambles.

Liquor is served during the concerts at Hard Rock (The Joint) but for the three I've been to there, never has there been any disruption caused by drunks. A few spilled drinks and maybe a little more disruption by people in the center of aisle worming their way to the exits to go to the bathrooms....but other than that, it was no problem.

The same at House Of Blues at Mandalay Bay. Drinks served, but no real problem.

Maybe it is a "policing" inadequacy at Red Rocks. No excuse for it whatever the reason.

Yikes! So what happened-exactly.

The crowd in the two Youtube vids that I saw looked pretty sedate except maybe for one young lady in the front who seemed to just be dancing. The rest of the audience, for the most part, just seemed to be sitting there enjoying the show. A couple got up to dance at one point and some guy asked them to sit down and they did which is why I wonder what happened that made you so upset. What do you mean about "all the bs...up to the start and during?" Looks like they had assigned seats so I can't imagine any pushing and shoving like at a GA show. Curious.

As MikeA said it's a bar and when liquor flows, people get aggressive. FYI most people do sing along at concerts-good,bad or indifferent. Most artists/bands even encourage fans to sing along especially during a song's chorus, so you really can't blame the staff for allowing fans to sing. Did Henley tell them to shut up? Cause he has no problem telling fans what he likes and doesn't like about their behavior. Again curious as to why you are dissing the staff so badly.

Thanks

If one was in the first 5 rows...one would know what I was talking about.

Yes...negative view of the staff at Red Rock...

Dont mind people singing along but you have drunks around and behind you and singing in your ear, while slobering ....as a local television commercial in Las Vegas states...Enough is enough!.

:thud:

[sodascouts]

Welcome, Lexus! I'm sorry you were dissatisfied with the staff of the Red Rock casino. Glad you enjoyed Don, at least.

[Troubadour]

I've just watched the video of It Don't Matter To The Sun... Gah. That was BEAUTIFUL. :sigh: :inlove:

Snap! Sounds as if you're still po'd. Sorry to hear that.

Well again the venue remember the concert was in a Vegas poolside bar. Back in the day when I was in a band and we played the local bars many the nights when we had to deal with overly lubricated bar patrons jumping on stage and joining in. Most just wanted to sing a chorus or two but some wanted to play the drums or my keyboards. :steviesmack: What can I say, booze makes people do things that they normally wouldn't do. Just chalk it up to Vegas-fever.

:thud:

Welcome Tom!

I have to say that I too like it when everybody sings along at the show. It's kind of this communal thing. Now if everyone's quiet and some dude is belting it out all by himself next to you... er... then not so much. I guess there's a time and a place for everything!

I was thinking of coming over for Don's shows & seeing this one & the Fantasy Springs casino - but my plans changed & I'm coming to see the Eagles instead.

I loved seeing Don's shows last year, but I'm glad I gave this one a miss. I would have been disappointed to have made the long journey & then get treated badly by the casino staff; things like that spoil memories of the show, don't they?

Sounds like Don was looking & sounding good(apart from a bit of desert dryness).
I wondered whether Don would be faithful to his old friend Frank Simes & get him in this time. I thought he probably would, even though Peter Thorn did a fantastic job last year.
I notice from the videos that Will still has that 'to die for' longer hair style............:smitten:

Not only is Henley loyal to Frank so is Don Felder. I saw Felder last year and almost fell off my seat when I saw Frank was there too. Don't know who Peter Thorn is but Frank has played every solo show of Henley's that I've seen since 2007.

Peter Thorn took Franks place for Don's shows last November(Frank had already committed to tour with Roger Daltrey). There is more about Peter in the threads reviewing those shows. Peter has worked with Will Hollis on other projects, so I guessed Will suggested him to fill in for Frank.

I've just watched the video of It Don't Matter To The Sun... Gah. That was BEAUTIFUL. :sigh: :inlove:

My thoughts exactly, Lou.

Watching that makes me really excited to hear Don's new albums. I hope he includes It Don't Matter To The Sun on the new album.
