Reminiscing

[Glennsallnighter]

Yeah me too! In fairness, my hubby put up no argument either when I declared my interest in going to Fallsview.

How freaking awesome to hear the Eagles do "Please Come Home for Christmas" live! I was hoping they'd do it in Las Vegas, but I guess it was just too early.

I have to admit, when Don introduced it by saying how much they were missing their families, I started to tear up (both for them and me - up until then leaving the kids behind had been a GOOD thing!!). It felt quite intimate that he would say something so personal (more in the way he said it, than the words).

And it has been really amazing to make new friends with the same interest (obsession) - not just in the Eagles, but in great music too.

Well - You definitely got a treat in hearing that live, EK. Funny how it's often the little memories like these that we cherish forever.

Not an anniversary to reminisce about but I was going thru some pictures last evening and when I came to these, I couldn't quit looking at them and remembering this night. Not only was it the best 20th anniversary present from hubby but I got to meet some new friends from the Border that night and was the first of several adventures to come with them.

Aww Willie - I love that you were reminiscing for no particular reason. Don't you just love it when your mind goes to those incredible places! And Maleah, those pictures you took in Chicago are still amazing after all these years. Everytime I see one of them, I think of you. (But only for a moment, and then my mind goes off to incredible places, too.)

Just realised I missed my 2nd anniversary of seeing the Eagles twice at the Hollywood Bowl on 16 & 17 April 2010.

Quick thoughts:-

Opening with 7BR
Glenn wearing baseball cap backwards
Will looking gorgeous with longer hair(1st time I'd seen it longer)
Great sound at the Bowl
Being right in front of Timothy


Lots of people(including me!) stranded because of the volcanic ash causing flights out of US to parts of Europe to be cancelled.

EAGLES MGM GRAND, LAS VEGAS 24 APRIL 2010

Another 2nd anniversary today for me; I'd seen 2 Hollywood Bowl shows, and should have flown home to the UK by 24th.

Thanks to volcanic ash I got an extra 9 days holiday, so what else could an Eagles fan do, but get a concert ticket & a flight to Vegas? especially as my friends who I was staying with had already booked to go.
Not a difficult decision to make!! (and how would I ever forgive myself if I passed up an extra opportunity to see my darling Will?)

I could only get a seat on the side, rather than the floor but it was quite close to the stage - second block, lower level if I recall correctly.

It was a good show, with lots of crowd reaction. Even on the side seats people were on their feet & singing along.

I hadn't been to Vegas before, so it was a new experience for me. I remember looking out of the plane windows as we flew over the desert, and seeing Vegas coming into view. I hadn't seen that kind of landscape before(not a lot of desert in England!!).
It was very hot in Vegas that Saturday as I walked the Strip, taking photos and watching the fountains etc.

I'm not a gambler but I like to have a look around the casino, and I even risked $20 in the slots...and lost it of course. I do like to watch roulette, don't know why but it fascinates me.
Why are these places so sexist? they had 2 scantily clad young ladies dancing on the bar.....but no hunky male dancers. Not that I personally wanted to see them; after 3 hours of drooling over Will, the Eagles, Scottie-the-hottie et al, I'd seen enough hunky males for one night I guess.

Sound photos from the show:-

Love those photos, Steph. I guess we can thank the volcanic ash for extending your vacation so you could get to that Vegas show!
