What a nice intro!
Walk Away is my favorite Joe song and a great way to get the crowd going! And I love your Jerry Mcquire reference.Without further ado, they plunged into the rocker "Walk Away." That catchy opening riff gets folks going every time and the song's energy keeps them there! The little girls next to me and I were literally jumping up and down, and everyone around me was rocking out as the adrenaline of the entire crowd surged with the song. The crowd was wild for them already and would just get more amped up as the show progressed. They had us at hello!![]()
Ordinary Average GuyIt sounds like they were really interacting with each other much more than we get to see at an Eagles show, and understandably so. This was a much looser show and I would have loved to seen it.Then, into the song intro! Joe began by saying, with a completely straight face as he always does, that while he and Glenn are rock stars, they're really just ordinary average guys. They take out the trash and mow their lawns
Glenn chimed in that yeah, they're totally ordinary, besides the planes and mansions and all.
Lyin' EyesBefore going into this, Glenn said he smelled smoke... cigar smoke... and that people should be smoking other things besides cigars! (I should say that I smelled some nasty skunk smell which PLS informed me was 'skunk weed.' My response: "People smoke something that smells like SKUNKS?")
I love it when he changes it up!In the City
I did notice that Joe changed up the guitar solo, not only here but on other songs as well.
I love this song too. What made you think this? What did he do?You Belong to the City
I love this song - its building intensity, its drama, that interplay between guitar and sax, Glenn at the keyboard... and, to my delight, he sang it without falsetto! Danny Grenier joined him on the verses like Tim used to do when the Eagles performed it. The audience was completely into this and while it seemed at the end Glenn wasn't quite satisfied with how the song went down, everybody else was loving it... including me!
I would have loved to seen this. When I saw Joe solo at the IL State Fair he did it but one of his backup singers sang lead on it. This sounds so cool!Life in the Fast Lane
As GL already said, Glenn and Joe shared lead vocals equally - Joe sang the first verse, Glenn the second, and they went back and forth on the third. I loved it. Man, it is so freaking cool to see an Eagles song like this done so differently and still sounding so incredible.
Me too!I Hear You Knocking
I wondered at there being no Desperado, but honestly I didn't miss it hugely because I like it when the show ends with a rocker rather than a ballad. End with a BANG, I say!![]()
