No, doesn't surprise me. Don, lighten up while you still can!
Yeah, if the guy deserved it, I'm glad Don gave it to him.

1948-2016 Gone but not forgotten
As a matter of fact, that is the very FIRST thing I noticed.
And I also noticed how many covers there are in the set list. I'm glad that Don is mixing it up a bit, but most of these songs I've never even heard of. C'mon Don - you have a pretty decent catalog of your very own to choose songs from - what about singing some of them ... that's what I wanna hear at a live show! Oh well - I'm sure the show was great - but still!
And kudos to Don for handing it back to the jerk at that show!

I'm not surprised that he wore a suit after reading the setlist - September Song, I Put A Spell On You... It seemed to fit the mood of the songs better than jeans and plaid (however much I love the latter!)
you better put it all behind you, baby, 'cause life goes on
you keep carrying that anger, it'll eat you up inside--
"Pleasant and Predictable"? Is that reviewer kidding? The show sounds like anything but. How about moody, atmospheric, heartfelt, rocking...I could go on....
At least this sentence was phrased well:
"Bolstered by an eight-piece band that slickly transitioned from easygoing supper-club jazz to melodic rock, Henley did most of his roaming near the start of the show, beginning with "I Put a Spell on You," in which his voice sandpapered the lyrics."
Personally, I adore the way Don's voice "sandpapers" lyrics.
And unlike Dreamer, I love the fact that he added some new songs to his set list. I love his hits but fortunately we can listen to them at any time. As the reviewer bluntly put it, a "checklist of career highlights" is good, but the addition of new songs, interpreted as only Don can, sounds great to me. In fact, I would love a show made up almost entirely of covers. To hear the unique way that he would interpret standards would be heaven to me.
I envy everyone who got to hear him sing "My Thanksgiving" live; I adore that song. And I also wonder what he said to the heckler.
My thoughts are with all of you who are lucky enough to see him this time. I am with you in spirit!
I agree about the setlist sounding intriguing...songs to be interpreted in the way only Don can. Cool!
Soda, I love your new sig!
