The Paramount, Huntington, NY - 4/03/2013

Just saw a tweet where Don apologized to the crowd for being a little hoarse, that they were to just pretend he's Joe Cocker.

He also said, "Did you see the documentary? We left some stuff out."

Good job with those tweets, VA. We're going to bed. Hit ya tomm with the setlist and concert comments.

Hmm. It makes me wonder what exactly was left out, and who's parts it was that were left out.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

cant wait to read and hear all about it

Don, that was funny! I bet he got a laugh there!

Hubby just took Zelda to the airport, so I have a few minutes to post about the show. It was fantastic. The man NEVER disappoints.

He did the same set list as he did at the Revel except he didn't play Everything is different now and Everybody Knows. I love those songs so I was kinda of bummed, but he was really chatty and much more personable than usual.

When introducing It Don't Matter To The Sun he spoke of his admiration for the song writers and said "it may be on the solo album. It may not be. We'll see". Then he said "it's time for a crying in your beer song" and he began IDMTTS. I really really really hope he puts it on the album.

When introducing New York Minute he talked about how they drove in from Newark airport today and he noticed the change in the Manhattan skyline. "I'm not a big fan of skyscrapers, but it was moving to see the buildings going up where the World Trade Center had been. To me it symbolized resilience. Defiance, even. You can't stop us."

After The Last Worthless Evening he apologized for his hoarse voice. "Just pretend it's Joe Cocker".

He talked about going back to Nashville today to finish his solo album. He joked that it'd only been in the works for 4 years and that it'll be out in September. He talked about the "other band I play with" and the documentary. "We left stuff out". He talked about George Bernard Shaw who said "Youth is wasted on the young" and Henley added "with the emphasis on wasted".

He said that the Eagles had decided to tour again and that "it could be the last one -- you never know. We're gonna bring out the walkers and the oxygen. We are starting on the East Coast in July and we're gonna go for a couple of years". He went on to say "here's one of the songs we'll be doing" and they began One of these Nights.

I can only speculate as to what he was alluding to, but when introducing The End of The Innocence, he talked about Bruce Hornsby and what an amazing talent he is. He said "for the last year he's been working on the score for a Broadway musical. It's going to be interesting. Very interesting". So am I to assume BH is writing the Eagles musical that they've discussed doing?
It would seem so.

After Rule The World he did the band intros. After Hotel California he said "You've been wonderful. Thank you so much for this warm welcome. That's whey we keep doing this -- even past retirement age".

Before Desperado he talked about how they wrote it in 1973 in a little house up in Laurel Canyon that was up on stilts.

It was a great evening. He was spot on. The band was rockin' and a good time was had by all. I love, love, love me a little DH.

I'm a happy happy fan!!! Now I really wish I were going to Louisville, although I'll probably go a little crazy when they play it.

I'm so glad you had a great time, but of course I knew you would. I wish I'd been there.

September, uh? If that holds true, I wonder if he'll try to slip in some solo dates during a 'rest' time in the Eagles touring schedule? I hope so!

[NYC Fan]

HH-
Thanks for the wonderfully detailed report! Sounds like a really special evening with Don.

I love that he mentioned the new WTC buildings. I work across the street from them and I like the defiance comment. It's been a long road back, but it's so good to see them rising up. That must have been a nice moment.

And very cool about Bruce Hornsby. He is so talented. Will definitely be interested in seeing whatever musical he is working on.

Glad you had such a good time and thanks for sharing!

July can't get here soon enough...

[Houston Debutante]

Thank you for the detailed review!

When introducing It Don't Matter To The Sun he spoke of his admiration for the song writers and said "it may be on the solo album. It may not be. We'll see".

He doesn't even know what's going to be on the album yet? At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see "Cass County" until 2014.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Wow - I sure would like to have It Don't Matter To the Sun on Cass County. Don does such a beautiful rendition of the song. But, about the now September release date for the album. I hope they put him in lockdown in Nashville the entire spring until the album is finished.

Loved the "Joe Cocker" remark. As far as leaving stuff out of the documentary, I have no doubt. I guess we'll never know.

And last - I agree that the remark about Bruce Hornsby is very intriguing. You know, Glenn once told, Soda, PLS, and me that one of his goals was that he'd like to score a movie. Now, a Broadway show isn't a movie, but it always made me wonder if he would do the score for the Hotel California musical. I guess we'll see.

Glad you all had a great time, but I didn't really think that was ever in doubt.
