Zelda, where did you find a reference to a fourth concert?

The Eagles perform at the FNB Stadium in Soweto in the fourth and final concert in South Africa.

I think this is two or three posts down...demotix.com

Finally, reviews! Thanks!

I love how the above reviewer talked about the way Joe Walsh stood out when he performed "his solo hit Dirty Laundry" lol.

I can't access the Times link either, at least not from my iPad.

Looks like the set hasn't changed, and I shuddered with horror when another review noted that Glenn's plaintiff joke was back. Can't believe he's falling back on that again!

The guys look great, though, and I'm glad to hear things are going well for them.

I think since SA is a new stop, the old jokes work. And they did put Hotel CA as part of the encore, which is a big change, and perhaps it'll go back to being #4 in the US. I wish someone would have posted a setlist. I have high hopes that coverage of the Dubai concert will have more in-depth reviews.

You're right about the encore, VA. I'm so unobservant, to read it and conclude that there was no change when a big change was staring right at me!

As for a fourth show - unless they are playing two nights at the FNB, that was the third show and it was played Aug. 8.

It's Monday and it feels like it!! Yes, three shows in SA, the last one yesterday on April 8. A fourth overseas show in Dubai later this week. Then Vegas on the 21st and I think whatever that setlist is, that's what it'll be in Atlanta and Jazzfest. Same for the jokes...

Don't worry, I won't heckle him if he tells that joke in Atlanta. lol

With the encore change-up, I still hold out hope that perhaps there's been something added earlier. How exciting would that be??

As I was waiting to get out of the arena in DC back in 2008, someone said, "He told all the same jokes as before." His wife said, "You still laughed and besides, it's like a tradition. It wouldn't be an Eagles concert without Hotel California or the Plaintiff joke."

I love this from a fan.... "Shan_black_7 said : "What an AMAZING concert .... The Pure Passion of these Guys Brings tears to My eyes... Can't Even sleep!!!!!! #Eagles.""

I totally understand that!!!

Just curious...to those here longer than I... Have you ever seen a bad review of the boys anywhere?( can't imagine it)

Don and Glenn are nearly twins in their dark plaid shirts! And hopefully they will have new jokes next year for the anniversary (?) tour!

They're lookin' good though!

The jokes don't bother me. It's the reversion to being a 'tribute to themselves' that bothers me even if HC is back in the encore. All that is doing is shuffling things around.
