    Default Del Mar Fairgrounds, Del Mar, CA – February 16, 2014

    I couldn’t find a review of the concert, so I’m posting a few comments from Facebook. The following comments were posted on the U-T California 10/20 Facebook page:
    Don Felder and his band opened up the beer garden post race festivities with "Hotel California" among other great Eagles hits. This was the best post race I have been to. A+ performance by Don and the U-T California 10/20.
    Don Felder ROCKED IT!!!
    Don Felder was awsome, he signed my bib number and medal!! Concert rocked!!
    Best post race performance!!! Don Felder rocked it!♥♡♥ Well organized race by U-T CALIFORNIA 10/20.
    And this comment was posted on Don’s Facebook page:
    Awesome concert! Thank you for stopping to talk and letting us take pictures with you. Also, thanks for letting me feel like a goofy 15 year old.

    I wonder why the drummer is behind the glass screen?

    Great pics! Thanks SM!

    Brooke, the drum screen (or drum shield) is used to control the volume of the drums and to prevent the drum sound from bleeding into other instruments and vocal microphones and overwhelming quieter instruments and vocals.
