Eagles Head To South Africa

[GlennLover]

Since when is "Fast Lane" one word?

I was having a senior moment. When I was typing it I couldn't for the life of me remember which was correct.

Aw, I didn't mean to embarrass anyone - I assumed the article got it wrong and not you! I should have read more carefully. At any rate there are worse things, lol. Heaven knows I make enough of those kind of mistakes on a daily basis.

I'm so eager for reviews from SA - it won't be long now!

So the Eagles perform at Cape Town stadium... TONIGHT. Sigh. How I wish I could bring you first hand news of this concert, but sadly it is not to be.

However, I have asked a Facebook friend to take notes of the setlist. She said she will try, but can't promise anything, because she has trouble remembering the titles, hahaha. Anyway, I did try!

I heard a wonderful interview with Joe a couple of days ago from one of our local radio stations, Kfm. I missed it, but was able to listen to it on Facebook. The concert promoter, Big Concerts, posted the interview. He sounded so excited about coming here, and said that all the guys felt that way.

Glenn and Don were also interviewed for a local magazine programme, "Top Billing", which was broadcast last Tuesday, and repeated last Sunday (when I was able to catch it). Both guys were in great spirits, relaxed, laughing and joking and clearly excited to be visiting South Africa. They plan to do some of the usual things while they're here, such as viewing wildlife. That came from Don.

It was also exciting for me to see the posters of them on street poles when I went cycling over the weekend. I couldn't help breaking into a broad smile as I passed the posters.

I'm wearing my LROOE tour T-shirt today to pay tribute to the boys, even though I can't be at the concert. Of course, I'm gearing up for my own show tonight, supporting my friend James in his "Elvis" production at the Roxy Revue Bar, GrandWest Casino, Goodwood, Cape Town. Tonight is our opening night, and we'll be performing four nights a week for ten weeks. I'll hold the Eagles in my heart throughout my performance tonight.

I had this fantasy that I would bump into one or more of the boys (particularly Glenn ) on the casino grounds on one of the nights we were rehearsing at the Roxy (four times last week, Monday and last night this week), but sadly that didn't happen. Problem is, we were rehearsing, and didn't really make ourselves visible. Perhaps they did visit the casino grounds, who knows...

Sounds like a great gig you've got lined up, MF. Hope the run goes well!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Ah, MF, it's such a shame you can't go, and a shame you didn't at least 'run into' one or more of them. So cool that you got to hear part of Don and Glenn's interview. Is it out on the internet anywhere, do you think?

I really hope your show goes well tonight!

VOL, it's like you're reading my mind. Have been thinking of the boys all day...4hrs til showtime...2 hrs til showtime... OMG they're on stage right now... all those lucky people... I feel so bad for Mrs. Frey that she can't be there.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I feel bad for MF, too. Still can't believe she's not there. Can't wait for coverage!

[Victim of Love]

According to the World Clock app on my iPhone it's now 11:48 p.m. in Cape Town. So far I have been able to find one single mention of the show -- not that I would expect any reviews just yet, but I couldn't even find any PRE-concert stuff of consequnce! I can only imagine what an absolute treat this show was for the fans over there but it is beyond my comprehension that I didn't even find the concert listed on the Events Calendar in the different newspapers! I'm going to keep digging. Am SO eager to hear reactions.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

I imagine most fan reviews and pics would be on social media, and I don't have a Twitter account.
