    Default Don Henley at Wolf Trap 9-7-16

    Don didn't sway from his "regular" song list, although he did play "all she wants to do is dance", which I guess wasn't performed at every show. He was very animated--obviously in a great mood. Instead of the usual two encores, he combined them into one. He actually spoke a bit about losing Glenn, and that he and the rest of the band have gotten everyone's condolences, and that they are all very touched and appreciative. Then he said "this one's for Glenn" and played "Desperado". Gotta admit I choked back a few tears over that one. Totally worth the eight hour drive, just wish I could've stayed for the second show tonight.
    It was funny, though...it started to lightning and thunder at one point. Don looks at the sky and says "whoa...percussion!" Like I said, he seemed to be in a great mood. The way he was jumping around, you'd never guess his age. His band was awesome as always. I absolutely love his backup girls. They each bring their own style to the duets.

    It sounded like a great night ag - even with the extra percussion and definitely worth the 8 hour drive !!

    8 hour drive? Wowza, ambulance girl! Thanks for sharing your report of Don's concert! That's cool that there was thunder and lightning, but I would have been scared.

    Also, WF88, thanks for sharing the videos! Woo! They'll probably be taken down in a few days though.

    ETA: DL and OOTN are blocked in the US as of 10:52 PM PDT 9/9/16.

    Oh jeez. Good ol Don is still at it with YouTube videos. Really wish he'd just let it be, it's just smartphone clips.

    Thanks RCF!

    haha, looks like you were sitting up near me i shot a few short clips of certain songs. hard to do with the ushers aka camera nazis so close!! mine are just in my camera in case i need a pick-me-up during the day!! but thanks for the memories!!! just wish Don would either leave the videos up, or release a live concert video from this tour!! Because he was DAMN AMAZING!!!

    And the 8 hour drive was well worth it. I was dragging ass all day at work the next day (14 straight hours in the ambulance, dispatch obviously hates me lol) but I wouldn't trade a minute of it for anything!!!
