The show tonight was amazing!! Don looked and sounded great. I love the girls who sing with him. Luckily the rain held off! And there was definitely plenty of the "warm smell of colitas" going on around me...

Yeah. I experienced the "colitas" thing at the Joe show in Memphis, too. The only problem is it makes me dizzy and nauseated, so I'm not that into it!

Glad you enjoyed the show! Any surprises song-wise?

no, no real surprises...I've been following his song lists so i knew what to expect. but before he played "desperado" he said "this one's for Glenn"....made me tear up a bit

Here are a few reviews. Don sporting the clean shaving look for a while. I hope he stays clean shaving after summertime.

Great pictures in that last link especially! Thanks shun!

In a few of those in the previous post he looks rather ticked off. Someone recording? :lol:

Thanks Shun! Be sure on this third link to go to the bottom of the article to another link when you click on Don in the truck. This will bring up a series of older photos, but starting with the third photo there is a brief interview. Among other things he talks of having Thanksgiving with Glenn & his folks in 1973 in Royal Oak! I thought others might have missed this as I nearly did!

Hi, I'm not finding the older photos and Glenn in Royal Oak.

I am here, did I take a wrong turn? http://www.mlive.com/music/index.ssf/2016/08/don_henley_tells_us_about_the.html#2

Sorry! By older photos I meant not those taken during the Meadowbrook concert like the others. Just arrow through the photos to read a different question and answer by each picture. Number four is where Don spoke of Glenn's folks. It's not much, but I had never heard that story, and I enjoyed the thought of it! I thought folks would like to read where he mentions Glenn, however briefly.

FWIW

Thanks for posting the links Shun. I loved what Don said about Glenn. Such heartfelt words.
"I think about Glenn and his family every day. I live with a mixture of sorrow for his loss and gratitude that I crossed paths with him 46 years ago. He was an extraordinary person. I learned a lot from him."

It was also nice to hear from him that Nellie was such a big supporter of the Eagles right from the beginning.

Thanks from me, too Shun. And thank you, FreyFollower for the tip. I like Don's quote about his favorite song to sing-"the one about the hotel."

Thanks from me too Shun and FreyFollower!!! :D I love that Don spent Thanksgiving with Glenn and Glenn's parents and brothers. And having now seen Don that was awesome hearing all of us sing along to "Hotel California".

OK, got it now. Sorry, I'm easily confused. That is a sweet memory.
