Don Henley - Smart Financial Center in Sugarland, TX- January 15, 2017

[shunlvswx]

It was show. The people were very hype at the bottom. The people where I was sitting were so dead and people were getting up a lot to get something to drink or bathroom. It was a little annoying.

The venue was beautiful and I thought the acoustics was great from where I was sitting. We had TV screens. So for us at the top, we got to see Don on the screens and he didn't look like an ant. Lol Other complaint I had with the screen was they were little late getting to whoever was playing, but I was thankful for the screens.

On to the show. It was amazing. Again. Don was very talkative. In a very good mood and so funny.

The audience at the bottom were howdy. They were yelling I love you, Don and other things I couldn't hear. Somebody yell out something and he was like I'm just glad to be here. One lady was hollering a lot and Don was like I have what she's having.

The audience just made it so energetic the first few minutes. Don was like settle down. The audience continue. Don was like just go ahead and let it out. Don did the come on bring it on gesture with his hands. I think deep down, I think Don was loving every minute of that.

He dedicated Witchy Woman to Jerry Seinfield who was there the night before. I talked about Jerry's old show and I guess that was why he dedicated to him. I think I missed the reference. I just know about Desperado.

Somewhere at the beginning of the show he talked about the world was going bat shit crazy or something like that. He was right. He said that line in Austin too.

Tonight Don was a little hoarse and kinda struggling, but he was hitting the high notes. A little story. I think it was before introducing of the band (I could be wrong. Somebody who was also there, if you remembered where he said that in the show). So I'm guessing Don was knowing his voice was hoarse. So he goes back to the mike with a lemon in his hand. This is a lemon with salt. He said it helps with his thoat ( I don't know how to spell it but it was funny how he said it) but also bad for your teeth. The lemon really did helped with this throat because his voice got better afterward. I'm surprised he came back to the mike and say he was doing.

He brought up Trump, but it was more like we need to pray for our nation and the president elect.

As Don was introducing Chris and him being from Dallas. He talked about how it was bad night. It looks somebody was watching the game before the show. Sorry Cowboys fans. It was a great game. I was rooting for them all season.

I loved the story he told for The Last Resort. I wonder if he dated her. Lol Don was so into this song at the climax of the song. That's the Don I love when he put his heart into. I love the Henley yell. Lol

Of course brought up how 2016 was a bad year and he was happy that it was over. He thanked the fans for their love and support from last year. I was saying to myself, Don Glenn's anniversary of his death is coming up in a few days. He didn't do this one's for Glenn. He was more I'm going to do a few songs I wrote with my friend and an amazing guy, Glenn Frey. I know Don missed him so much. We all do.

The set list was kinda different. He didn't sing Everybody Knows or Best of My Love. Other than that. No surprises and the set list was the same from Austin other than those 2 songs that wasn't sung. But I'm glad we got Everybody Knows and Best of my Love.

Overall it was a good show. I think Austin was my favorite of the two. If I can think of more, I will put more down. Since we really didn't have security up where I was, I took a few pictures.

Also i don't know what happened, but the police came to where I was and escorted two people out. I don't know what happened there.
