What a great show! The guys all seemed to be having lots of fun. I got a pretty bad sunburn from waiting out in the heat for over 6 hours for the guys to take the stage, but it was more than worth it. I got there as soon as possible with my friend Kristin and we began our camp-out about 10:30 at the front of the General Admission section. Whit came a couple hours later and made her way up to the rail with us, along with her very nice mother! I'll tell you all about the show later, but right now, I'll say that I'm very glad I came!

I'm gonna copy my post from the pre-concert thread over here:

That was awesome. It blew the last eagles show I saw out of the water. Last time I was in the nose bleeds and this time I was close enough to see them clearly! It was so worth the four hours standing in the sun. The set was the same as Atlanta. I'll let Nancy give y'all the details. She's better at that sort of thing than I am.

VA, thanks for moving those photos over from the NOLA website. By morning there should be more pix submitted by fans and a review of the show. Looking forward to reading Nancy's post as well.

Here is the review from NOLA.COM. I note they misspelled Timothy's last name with a 'd' BUT they did spell 'Glenn" correctly.

That was a nice write up, aside from spelling Tim's last name wrong. At least he got into some details about the show. Looks like everyone had a great time!

Oh my gosh, I feel so sick this morning. Maybe my sunburn was worse than I thought. Unfortunately, I'll be doing this again today because I promised my friend we would stay to see Bonnie Raitt (it's only fair because although she enjoyed the Eagles, she would not have camped out except for me). I hope I can make it without puking!

Oh, Nancy, I'm sorry. Drink lots of water and put tons of aloe on that sunburn. Feel better and have fun.

That sounds like heat exhaustion Nancy... please be careful out there in the sun today. Drink lots of water and put on some sunscreen.... and if you can, sit in the shade or shade yourself with an umbrella or hat.

Nancy, Sorry to hear that your not feeling that great. Be sure to use sunscreen & when it's really hot out. I sometimes carry a washcloth, (wet it & put it into the freezer for awhile.) It will help to put on your neck or forehead & keep you cooler out there in the heat. Drink water & try to eat. Hope you enjoy the show with Bonnie Raitt!!!

Getty Images also have some including backstage photos - this is the link to the ones with watermarks.....don't know if any of you can get them without the watermark elsewhere.

Thanks Steph. Some great shots of the guys. Unfortunately the only way you can get Getty Images without their watermark is the buy them... and they are expensive.

So does anyone know who Chris Littleton is and why Glenn is choking him?

VK, the caption in the Getty Images refers to him as 'Tour Manager'.

I did a quick search. He is given special thanks in the HFO DVD. He is a tour manager for the Eagles (2011) Toto, Shania Twain, Steve Miller, Luis Miguel and many more. He also managed Don Henley's "End of the Innocence Tour/ Walden Woods Benefits," 1990-92.

I have no idea why Glenn is choking him! :laugh:

Great find, Steph!

Love these photos!!!

Yesterday was grueling. I couldn't sit in the shade because we had to be up front for Bonnie Raitt - no shade there, rather a metal grate. It was even hotter than yesterday because there was no cloud cover, and I thought I would be sick. I have never been that drenched in sweat in my life. However, we got rained on about three hours in and I felt much better.

Driving back was hellacious thanks to bad weather and my exhaustion - I had to pull into a rest stop about 3:00 am because I was afraid I would fall asleep at the wheel (don't worry folks; I know my limits, that's why I pulled over). However, after sleeping in the car for a half hour, I was able to make it back home and I'm ready to enjoy Glenn today! I'm listening to the album via Parade.com's stream right now.

Glad you're home safe and hopefully feeling better, Soda.

Great pics from Atlanta and New Orleans. Gonna have to decide on a new avi picture. Might have to stare at them for awhile before deciding. Agonizing!!! :lie:

I thought those photos would keep you all busy for a while! I think some of the individual ones are amazing - so close-up & clear.
Happy drooling :smitten:

LOTS more photos here - including quite a few of the boys waving goodbye at the end. Keep clicking through until you're sure you've seen the last Eagles one, 'cos there are some crowd shots mixed in. Enjoy!
