I have some so-so pictures, I was WAY over on Bernie's/Tim's side, so dont expect much LOL I couldn't get any service from there so I had to wait until I got back to my hotel!
The setlist was exactly like Louisville so no surprises.
Ok I took like 20 pictures and I dont want to add them all seperately so i'm trying to figure out how to do all at once so this might take a while LOL
Edit; ok i've wasted enough time trying to figure this out and it isn't working and now i'm just pissed, my pictures sucked anyway LOL I hope someone else posts some!
Hi guys! Just got back and all I have to say is WOW. Absolutely amazing. Best concert I've ever been to, hands down. It was hot, and I was sweaty, and I screamed so hard that I got a headache, and my throat's sore, but I don't even care because I just saw the freakin' Eagles. And surprisingly - not really any drunk people in our immediate section. Very nice!
I'll write up a review tomorrow, because I'm exhausted and a good night's sleep sounds awesome right now. But I'm on a huuuuuge Eagles high right now! :D
Sadly, I am too hot and tired to go into a lot of detail tonight, or post ny admittedly shaky pictures, but wanted to pop in and say it was a GREAT show!! Great sense of gratitude from them all, and a lot of playfulness from Joe and Glenn. So hot for them-Tim pulled his hair into a ponytail! And Don soaked thru his shirt--but they seemed to have fun. Bernie absolutely rocked...
I felt the second half of the show flowed better than the first--the pretaped video bits of Don and Glenn aren't needed--I'd rather they just told those stories on stage, live. And the order of the Desperado songs could be better--the Doolin Dalton/Desperado reprise confused people--unless you know the album and it's layout, people seemed to think they were simply doing an odd version of "Desperado!"
And for those keeping track, at intermission, Glenn changed into a grey tee with "Power to the Peaceable" on it. And he looked quite fetching!!
Thanks for reporting back so quickly, guys! I'm really glad they didn't drop anything!
I hope I didn't forget all the awesome moments I wanted to remember...Joe said some funny things, like "I dont know where we're going, I don't know where we've been and I dont know where we're going" (something to that affect!)
He stole the show, I think...everyone was on their feet during his solo songs, which is something that shocked me, the crowd sat for the first half of the show. I hate when people sit at concerts so I stood up anytime anyone around me did.
One thing I noticed and thought was AWESOME was how the crowd cheered super loud for Don, Timothy and Joe! Like audibly louder than they did for Bernie or Glenn. Did any of you notice that too, who were there?

I thought people cheered really loud for Glenn, actually. Don always gets tons of applause, though. (If anyone was sitting near Section 14 and heard lots of screams of "I LOVE YOU DON HENLEY", well... that was me.) Timothy's cheering was actually louder than I've ever heard it, Joe's was really loud too. Bernie's was a little less intense though, I agree.Quote:

Wow, they ARE fast! Thanks for posting this, I love saving stuff like this for shows i've been to! Haven't read it yet, just wanted to say thanks and DAMN Joe looks cool as hell sitting there!! I thought he was sitting on that but couldn't tell for sure, I was way on the other side!Quote:

oh my god, I just want to be there!
"That led to some minor surprises; the band's second album — one of its few commercial disappointments — got a fairly extensive run-out with "Doolin-Dalton" getting reworked alongside vintage clips of the guys playing cowboy on some '70s movie set."
Not a bad review I guess but I really wish people would do 5 minutes of homework sometimes... Even if he had just watched the documentary, they would have known the story behind that.
The song wasn't even "reworked", it was exactly the same as the album version! lolQuote:

I expected more people to know it though, that was in the beginning before people even started to act like they were at a concert. I was the only one singing along in my area at this point.
Oh, just remembered, nobody else mentioned this but there WAS an opening act. I didn't catch their name nor did I know any of the songs they played, a few of which were covers of other bands but I still didn't know them LOL I don't think many people were paying attention anyway, they were too busy finding their seats and getting beer! :hilarious:
I didnt check my phone when the Eagles started but I'm guessing it was around 8pm and it was over at 11 so they played about 2 hours!
Oh, so glad you had a great time, guys! It sounds wonderful! And Timothy with his hair into a pony tail :smitten: ... gorgeous! Thank you so much for reporting so quickly ;)
Here's another review already posted...wow these people are on the ball tonight!!
Gotta say, my favorite line of this review is when Joe turned it into a concert! HELL YEAH JOE!!! :thumbsup:

Happy to hear you all had a great show!
I noticed a lot of love for Timothy at our show too. It made me wonder if more people than I think know about his health issues.
Soda said the same thing about the pre taped video bits, that they should have just said that stuff live, but it seemed to me that they used it as an opportunity to make some onstage changes, because in Louisville the lights were out during those times.Quote:

I am absolutely loving the laid back vibe that everyone says this concert has. It's exactly the kind of thing I've always wanted to see from the Eagles! Just for them to loosen up a bit more and visibly enjoy it. Looks like Glenn was listening re: the t-shirt with no overshirt! Nice! I'm not even going to comment on Don's shirt... :brickwall::lol:
Ok-I'm posting those pictures in bigger form because they are so freaking good!!!

I think the guys looked even hotter (literally and figuratively) in Milwaukee then they did in Louisville! In addition to the ones posted, I love this one of Glenn:

See Glenn? THE OVERSHIRT IS NOT NECESSARY.
For some reason that reminds me of the HFO era clothes and "look".
I know, and since that's my favorite look for him, I'm dying over here!

What an amazing show! Because of the stage configuration, instead of 5th row seats we were in the 2nd row! But, like ALA, off to the Bernie/Timmy side. We realized before the show started that the people in front of us were also from West Bend, in fact, my husband went to school with one of them. We had a blast with them. We seemed to be in the "party" section - up and dancing thru most of the show, when the other sections close to the stage sat politely.
We had an aggressive "camera Nazi" about 10 feet from us. He was constantly scolding everyone around us. I kept cautioning my hubby to be careful, but that's not Steve. After a few minutes, he said "I'm taking pictures-let him bawl me out-I don't care". We only had our small camera with us, but Steve took over 100 pix.
A few things I recall:
-The name of the opening act was JD and the Straight Shooters
-Don to the crowd: "Can I get a "Ja der Hey?" Crowd: "Ja der hey!!"
Don: "Good, just checkin'!"
-Glenn at one point stopped talking and said "Oh, I almost swallowed a bug!"
-During Joe's talk box solo of "RMW", Bernie sat down on a speaker and just
enjoyed the performance with the rest of us.
-We got the "Detroit, where mother is half a word" joke, much to the delight
of my husband who thinks that's the funniest thing he ever heard.
-At the onset of "Doolin Dalton" there was some confusion with Timothy sort of putting his hands up like "I don't know". A roadie hurried over and handed something...Glenn said, "slight delay, we were missing a very important instrment"...Timmy's harmonica!
-During "LBG" the video board showed a cute video of Joe dressed as Godzilla. Glenn faced backwards much of the time and really seemed to enjoy the video-laughing and shaking his head.
-Thanks to the guy sitting next to my hubby...the "warm smell of colitas" was very much in the air last nite!
OK...I just can't be finished, I'm looking at the schedule and seeing where a road trip may be in order!
Here are a few shots from last nite:

Well done hubby! He got a big smack-a-roo for this one!
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y13...psff560cbf.jpg
Nice - especially since you can't really see the "power to the peaceable" print on the other shots. Thanks again!
Wow, Thanks Molly for the review & fantastic pictures!
Looks like another great show for our guys!
The reviews have been wonderful.
Thanks again
Yay Molly's husband, for being so brave! I saw a tweet or FB stat (can't remember which) that said that they were very serious about no pictures, going so far as to say they'd (don't know who "they" is) stop the show? Is this true? Yikes!!
Great reviews and sounds like they are off to a great start to the tour.
On a strictly shallow note~~ how good does Timothy look with his hair pulled back? Yummo!!
Thanks Molly! Sounds like you had a great time!
We're all like kids in line for the roller coaster - we ride it and then get right back in line to do it again! Can't wait until my next show!
I love TBS hair pulled back. Wow
Fantastic pictures you all.
I so can not wait until my show

I haven't frequented the message board (or Eagles news) in quite some time, so this bloke appeared on stage at the beginning and I started exclaiming, "Is that Bernie? It looks like Bernie. Doesn't that look exactly like Bernie?!" Blank stares from my friends. Turns out, eagle-eyes, right here! Awesome to see him play the break of "Take it Easy"!!!
I loved the slight suggestion of "Desperado" just before "Already Gone." One line stuck out - "Stole your dreams and paid you with regret."
The "Ya dere hey" quote from Don that Molly mentioned... OMG. Someone did their homework on the tour schedule, but ugh - so embarrassing.
What's awry with Randy? Guess I'll poke around the boards, as I'm certain you've all mentioned it somewhere. I hope he's alright.
Great show! Joe looked like a bloody RAWK STAR, too, between that shirt and the hair.
