Annnnnd...Here...We...GO!

The opening band was awful. No idea who they were, but they just filled the lace with sound. Some of the songs were cool, I guess they do music for movies and TV shows and stuff like that, but the lead singer kept talking like he was the smartest man in the room and he knew it all...Just..ugh.

Anyways, about 8:10 the lights dimmed and the cheering began. Don and Glen walked out and played the opening song, then joined by Bernie (Who being from Minneapolis got a HUGE applause) and sang Train Leaves Here. Tim joined in for PEF, and Joe came out for WW. Once the entire band was on stage...WOW. It was phenomenal. Seeing a true 5 piece Eagles band was something I never thought I'd get to experience and HOLY SHIT they rocked.

Every review I've read from the show has said that it looked like they were just "going through the motions" UM...were these people even at the SHOW? That is just the WRONG way to describe things. Glenn and Don were funny as hell, and Tim and Joe even got in on the action. It was an amazing night, and the second best concert I've ever seen. (Meat Loaf at Mystic Lake last year is my tops all time...but that's a story for a different time)

Highlights for me include Doolin/Dalton and the DD/D reprise. THE HARMONIES OH MY GOD. WERE AMAZING. ALL. NIGHT. LONG. I couldnt believe it. I caught myself with my mouth open more than once at how amazing they sounded together. Already Gone, Take It To The Limit, Hotel California, Life's been Good was AMAZING...had the WHOLE CROWD SHOUTING ALONG...Something Ill never forget...(Thank god I have video!)

The whole show just blew me away, and the first words out of my mothers mouth after the lights came up "This was so worth every penny". She hadn't seen them since 79 when she was 19 years old!!!!!!!

I'm still on a huge high. I probably will be for days, if not weeks to come. Pictures will come in a few moments!
