    Default Echo Arena, Liverpool, 26 June 2014

    5 stars from an incredibly glowing report here http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/whats...-arena-7336664

    My own take on the matter https://twitter.com/Matt95RFC/status/482291658399432705

    My apologies to GA for not meeting up, I'll PM you later.

    Needless to say they were as brilliant as usual. Not really much difference song or talking to the audience -wise from London, although there were mentions from Joe, Glenn and Don about Liverpool and its significance etc. Glenn also comparing Detroit to a proper city like Liverpool got a big cheer. Crowd were perhaps a little more 'disruptive' than London and a little more static, but it didn't detract from the guys on stage.

    Also loved Don Henley's intro post-Saturday Night of it being great to be on 'Merseyside' before pausing a while and adding 'Scousers!'

    YES.

    I'm proud of the place. I am glad they gave the band such a great reception & the band seemed to respond. The Eagles certainly will never walk alone in Liverpool, as I wrote when the show was announced.

    GA.... that is so wonderful. You deserve that like nobody else. Congratulations.

    GA, what a great review! I loved it! Glenn is a real sweetheart, isn't he? I'm so glad you and Desperada got the picks, and even better that it was such a good show and the guys were in such great moods.

    Thank you FP - I'm still on a high after it all. I know I was just very lucky! And yes, VA, Glenn really is a sweetheart and will always be so special to me.

    TLR, I love that pose of Glenn 's! Soooo cute. Pity we never got to meet. I was looking forward to it.

    TG, didn't realise you are from Liverpool too, I thought it was a lovely city, particularly the area around the waterfront. It was all done up and so pretty. I was thinking of suggesting to Desperada that we finish off the night by going up in the big wheel outside the arena......when they switched it off! Lol!

    That a too for your lovely comments GL, HB, SG, Soda, and Brooke.

    DD, I really saw how lovely Don can be on Thursday night! He was really relaxed and having fun! I guess I sent that kiss up to him from all of his Border fans!

    Funny thing, when this concert was announced I had initially decided not to go, as it was a time when I would be very busy workwise. It was a very impulsive decision made when I saw the tickets for sale. And for me it was the best of all the 5 European ones I've been to although they all had special aspects to them!
    I guess I saved the best till last and I'm glad of that.

    Roll on NYC in September. After that........?

    Found this on YouTube this morning. Quite decent!

    GA - This is awesome!!!

    I am so happy for you. You and Desperado are so worthy of recognition from Glenn given all of your loyalty and dedication. You are true, devoted fans and very deserving.

    Another glowing review here:

    Is there some rule though that if you spell Schmit right, you have to spell Glenn wrong?
