Some quick things to note:
It was my very first Don Solo show!
Don was a little raspy at the start, struggled a little through NYM, got better as he went along.
He sounded great on the newer material, and Burn the Cornfield Down was a treat to hear!
Loved hearing the horns that were brought in for a couple of the songs, and I was shocked that he did Shangri-La as one of the encores! I think most everyone was as well!
It Don't Matter to the Sun was done as a group song and was great!
Really impressed by the back up singers, they all had great voices and I couldn't help but think it was kind of like Don's own talent show with this roster of different voices to showcase.

Thank you kt! Sounds great!

Shangri-la as an encore? There are many other songs I would have picked, but whatever!

Loved the show! My first Don solo show also. I love his new album, so it was great to hear so many of the songs live. He was also very chatty, which I loved. He seemed very nice to the young girls singing back up. Very encouraging. The only bad thing was we had to leave during The encore because we had to catch a train home. Missed Shangri la and All She Wants to Do Is Dance. I was surprised he played so late. Every other show I've been to at the Beacon always ended at 11:00. When I saw that someone was opening for him, I was afraid he wasn't going to play as long, but he played for 2 1/2 hours without a break!

Thanks for the reviews!

I hope you don't mind - I moved them to their own thread.

[alexandranick]

thank you !

[Brooke]

SG, thanks for your thoughts! Glad you enjoyed it!

[sodascouts]

BTW I'm surprised he did "Everybody's Famous" - I don't think he's done that at any other show.

As for "Shangri-La" - well, I made my thoughts known on that elsewhere, lol.

Glad you liked it, though!

Thanks for the reviews ktdids and SallyGee. Glad you both enjoyed yourselves at your first Don solo show. Don solo virgins no more!

Sorry t.his is a little late. The previous reviews were spot on. It took a couple of songs for don's voice to warm up. At the end, he didn't seem to want the concert to end. The 3 female backup singers were fantastic. Will Hollis was introduced as band director and Scottie Crago was on drums. Don praised Stueart Smith as a great friend and musician and to whom he owes a lot.

This was the first anything Eagles concert for 2 of my nieces. They enjoyed it and commented how nice it was to sit and listen to the music. Disappointed that I didn't meet any other borders. Hopefully there will be a next time.
