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.
