According to The Joplin Globe, Don will be the inaugural concert at the Downstream Casino Resort located in Quapaw, OK on May 16!

Can I remind Don that we have plenty of casinos in Atlantic City (none of which I have been to, but that will be easily rectified once he announces a concert date at any one of them!)

Oh man, ev - now did ya haveta go and remind me about when Don played at the Borgata a couple of years ago, and I wasn't able to make the trip! I've regretted it ever since, and thought that I may not have any other chance to see him solo. It would be awesome if he would play up there again, but I'm not counting on it.

And, let's not forget SoCal either. We have more casinos than you can shake a tommie-hawk at. Looks like all the sixties rockers are playing casinos and that's fine with me as most of the venues are small and good seats easy to get-at least here in SoCal.

And you know Dreamer, I've never quite gotten over the fact that you didn't invite me...you left me totally in the dark about Don performing right in my own backyard! How could you??

(In reality, I must have been comatose not to have realized it on my own. One of my most "Concert-Unaware" moments, I must say.)

Hmm, i've never heard of this casino before. I checked out the site and it looks pretty nice. It looks to be about 4 hours from me but i'm thinking that I may just have to make a weekend out of it. A weekend with Don Henley....Oh yeah, now that sounds like a great time!!

Yoo Whoo!!!! Don ---we have a couple nice casinos in Northwest Indiana and Southwest Michigan!!!! You'd be welcomed with some great Hoosier Hospitality also! I can assure you!!!!

In one of only two solo dates scheduled while on break from touring with the Eagles before heading to Europe, Don Henley will bring his solo show to Oklahoma on Saturday at the Downstream Casino Resort in Quapaw.

Tickets to Saturday's show are $100, $80, $60, $40 and $30 for lawn seating, and can be purchased at the Downstream Box Office inside the hotel's gift shop or by calling (918919-6099 or toll-free (888 396-7876; or through Protix online at tulsaworld.com/ProTix, or (866) 977-6849.
Gates open at 6:30 p.m. at Downstream's 6,200-seat outdoor concert facility, The Venue. The show begins at 8 p.m.
Henley's made several appearances in Oklahoma over the past year, including the grand opening of the new BOK Center in September with the Eagles, a repeat show there with the Eagles in November, and a solo fundraiser for U.S. Senate candidate Andrew Rice at Cain's Ballroom in September.
It's as if he's making a second home here.
"Well, this isn’t exactly something new," Henley said. "The Eagles and I have been performing in Oklahoma for over 35 years. This latest concentration of shows is just a reflection of the goodwill that we’ve built up there."
Some of that goodwill includes preservation issues, for which the Eagles in general, over the years, and Henley specifically have been noted. "One of my favorite places in Oklahoma is the George M. Sutton Avian Research Center in Bartlesville," Henley said. "The folks there do very important work. They played a critical role in bringing the American bald eagle back from the brink of extinction."
Henley is a fan of the "Tulsa Sound," a blend of rock, blues, country and rockabilly closely associated with artists like Tulsa's own J.J. Cale and Leon Russell. Bob Seger, who co-wrote the Eagles hit "Heartache Tonight" with J.D. Souther, has ties to the Tulsa Sound. However, Henley is quick to clarify that the Eagles band does not consider itself part of that movement.


"I am very familiar with the Tulsa Sound," he said. "I have several J.J. Cale CDs in my personal collection and I have great admiration for the body of work that Leon Russell created, as a songwriter, producer and recording artist. "Carl Radle and Jamie Oldaker and David Teegarden are musical legends, as are the Wilson brothers (of GAP Band fame)."

Thanks for the updates Jojo. I wasn't around last night to comment when you were posting, but modern technology is amazing, isn't it? I find it mind-boggling that people ask entertainers for autographs in the middle of their performance.
