I can't believe I know six of the seven Foreigner songs they list in the review. Who knew? I should go see them, I like those songs!

Sounds like he's not doing "Wash Away." Shoot. I really wanted to hear that one.

And here are a couple of quotes from the review:

Let’s just say that Felder’s set was as cool and refreshing as the light breeze that flowed through North Texas Saturday afternoon. Backed by a four-piece band, Felder treated fans to a set filled with classic Eagles hits and a few surprises.

An impressive version of “Texas Flood” ensued to the delight of many in the crowd. But it was a spectacular version of the Eagles hit, “Seven Bridges Road” that first brought fans to their feet. “Heartache Tonight” and “Life in the Fast Lane” also resulted in well deserved standing ovations for Felder and his band.
The reviewer says that Don played Stevie Ray Vaughan’s “Texas Flood,” but I don’t know if it’s right because Don usually plays another song by Stevie Ray Vaughan, “Pride and Joy.”

He sounds really good on Those Shoes - possibly better than Henley.

Okay, I just shamelessly begged for "Wash Away" on his Facebook page. I know the odds are extremely slim that it will affect his setlist at this point, but it can't hurt to let him know there are people who want to hear it.

Not to sure I like the Seven Bridges rendition, too much soprano. My opinion.

Interesting that he called Felder's set the best music of the evening. I know the things he said about Styx and Foreigner are the reasons I decided not to travel to see this show. I would like to see Felder, but I see no reason to travel to sit through the rest of the show.

A quote from the review:

Don was very personable on stage, drinking his hot tea and playing the hell out of his guitar, he was very comfortable as a solo artist. His set consisted of top Eagles hits that were played so well, he made you forget the original band. He really brought his game and played it with style and finesse.
