Don will be on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert tonight.

[Funk 50]

As I was listening to both performance. Don was definitely struggling.
I watched New York Minute. It was a good performance, but it Sounded like something was wrong with Don's voice. He was struggling a little. You could tell. He didn't even hit the high note at the end. Poor guy. I hope he can rest his voice until the tour.


Great performances.

I remember Don went to some considerable lengths to prove, to some, high profile doubters, who couldn't believe it, that he was indeed, hitting all the high notes during the Hell Freezes Over tour, 20 years ago.

His voice is still in pretty good shape considering he's almost 70. New York Minute was tough for most singers, even when Don first sang it, over 25 years ago.

Thanks, Funk - you're a star!!! I actually love Too much Pride 'cos I love the Ray Charles feel to it - maybe I'm in the minority???

Anyway, Don was in top form and loved the not so subtle digs at Mr. Vanity

DD, can I join your minority? I like the song, and I love the music!

As for the digs at a certain president nominee, I applaud Don for them!

Don's performance on the Colbert show has caused a welcome ripple;

I'm not at all surprised that Don's digs at Donald Trump would stir the pot, especially with Trump being the main GOP candidate who's in the news and the forerunner of the Republican party. I don't know how American politics are covered on the news outside of the states, but every day I see Trump's face on the news. Considering how much controversy he's caused and his arrogant "I'm invincible and can get away with saying or doing anything" attitude, I'm glad to see that someone who the gall (or the balls) to dish it back to him!

Not a fan of Too Much Pride.

Polka dots on Don Henley, who would have thought!

The shirt was all black with white polka dots. The suit looked like what he had on in one of the article. The picture where he's still standing with his hands on his jacket.

In the first photo you posted, I swear that his jacket looked brown to me.

The polka dots were very subtle.

I thought he looked amazing, but I wish he'd left off the chains. Too "Daddy Warbucks\Colonel Sanders" looking for me. Just my thinking.

It seemed a bit too "steam punk" given the fact he s 68. The hair...no...no...please no.
Looked like he wasn't wearing his scruffy redwings either.

Love the fact that Don is actually doing some promo stuff for this album! I kind of figured he'd just release it silently but I've been pleasantly surprised. I have to agree on the chains on the outfit. Every time I caught a glimpse of them, I kept thinking he was wearing his pants hoisted up high. LOL!

I'm undecided on the song. This was the first time I had heard it and I kind of liked the style of it, but as has been mentioned, Don did struggle a bit so I couldn't really decide. He kept doing this falsetto type vibrato that was kind of throwing me off. I'll have to check it out on the cd and then I'm sure I'll love it.

As for the Trump comments....I'd just say two things.... #1. Even though I'm not a Trump fan...I could have done without it. Ironically enough, when he first said the "Donald" comment....I thought perhaps he was talking about himself! #2. I hate political season.

All in all, even though it may not have been his BEST performance, I still thought he did well and looked good! I hope to see him getting out and about more with this album!
