I watched a good portion of this AXS broadcast on an old TV that doesn’t have DVR capabilities. I haven’t bothered to hook up a DVD or VHS recorder. I was watching the season finale of Walking Dead too so I missed a good deal of the first hour. Also, I must confess I have never seen this concert before so I have a fresh perspective.
It started out really well—boy did Glen look great here, and they sounded good.
Im not crazy about the cheesy horn section.
TITTL - I must say, this was pretty disgusting. I had no idea this whole time that Glenn introduced this song by saying “this was a song Don and I wrote in the 70s”...really Glenn, no mention of Randy Meisner’s role?!! I knew this was a period of time when the band were trying to pretend the former members didn’t exist (too bad about the internet, guys) but this just brought it forth glaringly. I actually had to change the channel at this point even though my favorite Glenn solo song was next.
I watched the remaining concert, or most of it, and there were some good performances with the assistance of the backing musicians and singers, but there’s no way I’d ever pay $ for an official DVD.
Disappointing, b/c I try not to dwell on the negatives that is seen all over internet when it comes to this band, but stuff like this is hard to defend. I am grateful at least that this era will not be the most remembered in ‘the long run.’
Another weird thing: Henley introduces “Hole in the World” as 5-part harmony...but the 5th guy, Steuart Smith is way off to the side like the red-headed step-child.
