Reminiscing

[Freypower]

A year ago (my time) some of us were getting ready for this:

Yes, I post the second photo a lot. I'm proud of it because it was very difficult to take a photo at all. The experience, both nights, was one of the most extraordinary I have ever had, and left me hungry for more. I got my wish earlier this year, and perhaps I will get my wish again next year. Hearing him sing those songs (and watching him without a guitar) was incredible.

Also it was wonderful to finally meet some Borderers - Soda, GA, Dreamer, PLS, GL & hubby, HH & hubby, TF & her father when I was in Toronto. It was just wonderful.

I may as well post one of the photos from the second night too. That was the closest to Glenn I have ever been.

If I only had a photo of 'my moment' when he pointed at me as he sang 'if you ever plan to motor west' during Route 66 on the second night. Later on he smiled at me & I framed his face in a heart made of my fingers. I don't know what he thought. :inlove: :heart:

Thanks for the memories, Julie. I was just heading over to this thread to post something when I saw you had just posted. We must have been reading each other's minds. This was the day before the first show, but, as you said, it was the first time some of us met for the first time. What a wonderful few days that trip was thanks to Mr. Frey and our fellow Borderers!!! :thumbsup:

I should point out that today is August 23 for me, which is why I said 'a year ago (my time)'. Sometimes I wait until the following day in order to be in line with everyone else, but today I didn't want to wait.

[zeldabjr]

I love looking at your pics ladies and hearing all about Glenn's shows last year...I wish I had been on the border then...I would have known about them and gone, seeing they were in my backyard!!! hope he comes here again soon!! keep those memories coming girls!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

Sounds like you had fun.

eagles or Glenn, TBS, Joe Or Don concerts are the best and seeing Boarder friends makes it special. We saw Joe and Met soda and HH and VF for the first time.
Then we did the sands in may and met boarder frineds again.
I am so siked for the revel..
LOve your pitures

[Koala]

I Love this thread. It' so interessting to read all your memories and see The pics again!

[sodascouts]

It was a wonderful time. Very happy memories!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Maybe I'll have to stop reading this thread for the next couple of days! I'm getting angry at my old boss all over again for not letting me take any time off or even work a shifted work-week. So my memories are of being in a pout and of course, watching my trees vibrate and the earth literally wave, and hear things falling off the walls. Yes, today's also the one year anniversary of the big quake here in the east! I still haven't repaired the drywall in the garage...

[Ive always been a dreamer]

That's right, VA - the earthquake happened when I was in Niagara Falls, so, fortunately for me, I missed most of the excitement. Although there were some folks even there that said they felt tremors. I remember when I returned home, my computer monitor was lying in the floor and my printer was leaning off the stand but didn't fall. Thankfully, neither were damaged. The only other visible effect that I found was that it also cracked the drywall next to my fireplace. I was having such a good time on the trip that I didn't even think much about any damages. I just figured I'd deal with any problems when I got home.

[Brooke]

Those are wonderful memories for all of you that got to go! Doesn't seem possible that it's been a year now!

[Henley Honey]

In some ways it seems like it was just yesterday that we were braving the "hill from hell" to get back from the Falls to the hotel to meet up before the show. I'd only been on the board for a few months but was very happy to meet everyone "in the flesh", put some faces to the names, and spend some time with new friends.

It was the first time I had seen Glenn's solo shows and he did not disappoint -- either night! It was nice that he mixed it up with old and new songs. I'd go back in a heartbeat!!!

Oh, so would I if I could!:partytime:

[Glennsallnighter]

I too have been reminiscing all week too about the wonderful few days I spent with the other Borderers in Niagara Falls - Soda, Dreamer, PLS, FP, TF, GL, HH, and their respective spouses. It was wonderful after four years on the board, and after wanting to see even ONE Glenn :heart: show to be able to do two in a row. and of course he did not disappoint, with his mix of old and new, solos and Eagles. As FP has posted pics, he looked fabulous, and of course, the sweetest moment for me was when he actually read out the sign that I had brought!

Of course I too would go back in a heartbeat! Y trip earlier this year to LA with Soda and FP has only whetted my appetite for more....... And there are so many people I'd love to meet again!

I wish I would have found this board before this. Then maybe I could have met Zelda and TopKat.
Someday.......

[sodascouts]

If Tim puts out a new album and tours behind it, we can do it all over again!

omg I can't believe it's three months already!! seems just like yesterday to me! can't believe we were all there and I didn't know you then and I couldn't find TK in the crowd...someday we will all see sweet Timothy B together!!!

[StephUK]

It was 4 years ago that I made my first visit to the USA.

I stayed with my friend in Texas and we saw the Eagles at the Toyota Center in Houston on the 9 Sept, and at the AA Center in Dallas on the 13 & 14 Sept. This was the year of Hurricane Ike, and the Eagles cancelled their 2nd Houston show which should have been on the 11 Sept. So I missed out on one of my planned shows, as it was rescheduled for 1 December.

I remember these shows with great affection; seeing the Eagles in the US for the first time was a special experience. We did ILAA(which was a lot cheaper then!) so we had good seats and the shows were amazing :applause:- even though this was the era of the black suits.

Will looked absolutely gorgeous :bow: and I adored him even more after these shows.:inlove:

I can't believe it was 4 years ago; where has the time gone?

Here are some photos I took at the Houston show. I don't think I've posted these before. Great memories.

I couldn't believe that Zelda showed up at this show. I had no idea she was coming....We finally met at the Eagles show on Sept 2nd. We are both big TBS fans! Hope to meet you too SallyG because I know you are also a big fan of TBS!

Also got to meet Soda, Va, HH, & Dreamer in Atlantic City!!! It was a great night with the Eagles!

Steph, Those are some beautiful pictures of the guys. Was that LROOE tour? Looks like it! YUMMY

Yes TopKat, it was the LROOE Tour. I saw one of the first shows of the tour at the O2 Arena in London on 22 March, and the next ones I saw were these 3 in Texas. Seems so long ago now.

[Glennsallnighter]

Wonderful pics Steph, and wonderful memories too! It was great to meet you and your friend in Belfast in 09! I hope we will meet again some time, and also that you are continuing your recovery.

[Topkat]

I wanted so much to go to the LROOE show when they played in NY Madison Square Garden on May 28,2008. One of my friends was going & I went to look for tickets on StubHub & there was a ticket, for some outrageous price for a really crummy seat. I did get to see a video of the show later on.

I must say that although they all look gorgeous, I am not wild about the black suits with the white shirts & black ties. It looked too much like a somber event like a funeral, also the fact that they were all in matching outfits was a bit odd.
But the setlist for that show was fantastic...a longer show with the acoustic set, is just fantastic & I loved all the songs they did from LROOE!! I am hoping they will add some of those back into the 40th Anniversary Tour!

Steph, you are very lucky to have seen a few shows on that tour :jealous:

[Henley Honey]

I was in the nose-bleed section for that show and it was FABULOUS! That concert was the start of my continual road trips -- and I hope they keep going!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

Step,
Thanks for posting pics and sharing memories. I love them especially your Will.
Jahh and I saw them LROOE tour at the Wacovia center in PHilly in June of 08. we went ILAA (yep...much cheaper at that time). we wanted to see them and it was both our first concert. God rewarded me and I was in front of GH all night. Yeah me. THen we saw them two days later in AC at the Borgata and I was infront of TBS in the 7th row. After waiting my whole life to see them, I got to do it twice in one week. We refer to that as the year we went to the hotel california.lol
Then, the fri before thanksgiving the same year, it was actually really early in the am on Sat, I was dosing on the couch watching LFM dvd.I heard JAhh say Yes I'm going for it.
Turned out he was buying seats to their concert 2 days before Thanksgiving when they came back to Philly . We wound up with 5th row seats on the floor in front onf GH yet again.
SO, I am greatful that I saw them three times in one year.
Let alone at all.'
I jsut love the group and there isnt too much I would say bad about them. They always enterain and I am greatful the memries are burried in my brain.:rockon:

[zeldabjr]

one month ago today...:sigh:...doesn't seem possible...

http://i1252.photobucket.com/albums/hh572/zeldabjr/012-2.jpg

[Glennsallnighter]

Yeah, its amazing how quickly the concerts recede Zelda, but the memories never do! Hopefully we have many more to attend in the year to come!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

I had so much fun at that concert.'
They were spot on with the show and the border company was great.

OOh, I have withdraw:-(:-(

[VAisForEagleLovers]

One year ago today, Soda, HH, and I saw Glenn at the Master Sessions lecture at NYU given by the Song Writer's Hall of Fame. It was an excellent evening and a great memory.

It was a great evening, VA. It was the first time we met! We've come a long way in year and I treasure our friendship! It was a rare treat to hear Glenn speak about his early song-writing days and his writing process. He was genuine and open in encouraging the music students of NYU to follow their dreams. He proved to me that he is a class act.

It sure was fun hearing all about it here!

did you guys just happen to sit near each other?

[VAisForEagleLovers]

did you guys just happen to sit near each other?

No, I sent her a PM the day before, I think, said I was going. I'd gotten an Amtrak ticket but then didn't know if the boss would let me go. I upgraded to Acela so I could use the Wifi and work the whole trip up. Grrrrr. But we determined a time and met in front of the building. Soda was with her. It was great to meet them both and we had a wait to get inside, so we had lots of time to talk.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I'm still very sad that I missed that lecture, but thank goodness you all did such a great job of documenting it here, so it definitely eased the pain a bit. I really feel like I got pretty much all of Glenn'shis message with the details you all posted for us.

[sodascouts]

That lecture was fantastic! Hard to believe it's been a year!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

Hey you guys....its also a year for us seeing JW and BB king at the borgata and the first time Jahh and I met soda, HH and dreamer(did I forget anyone)
JAhh and I were celebrating our anniversary and we stayed down a couple days and you guys were all going to the lecture and we were alll talking about it over drinks and dessert after the show.'Hard to believe its a year already.
Lots of fun border memories.:partytime:

[VAisForEagleLovers]

A year ago, I was in Vegas to see our guys. An incredible night that I'll never, ever forget. Got to spend a lot of time with HH and her DH, little did they know that they'd never get rid of me!

[sodascouts]

My very first Eagles show was 7 years ago today in Sacramento, CA. I had seen Don before with Stevie a few times but that was it. I went on the spur of the moment thinking I might never get another chance (I know, LOL, but anyway...) What an experience it was! It also happened to be the first time I met Dreamer and PLS in "real life" along with Z. What a life-changing event!

[Prettymaid]

I am always amazed when any of you remember these anniversary dates!

Soda, I do think it's cute that you thought you might never see them again way back then, but then it's easy to be a Monday morning quarterback! What's even more important, I think, is that you began your friendships with people you met on the boards and have continued to meet friends all over the country and the world!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Soda, a year ago today, you were in Vegas to see our boys! I remember this because I was at a Seger concert here in Pittsburgh on the same day.

[sodascouts]

I am always amazed when any of you remember these anniversary dates!

Well, "This Day in Eagles History" helps, lol.

VA - you're right! That was a terrific time, too!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yep - This Day in Eagles History comes in very handy in reminding me of this kind of stuff.

And the Sacramento show was definitely a special show for me as well. Even though it wasn't my first Eagles show, it was the first one that I met up with other fans. As they say - "the rest is history".


Soda, I do think it's cute that you thought you might never see them again way back then, ...

PM - We seriously did think it would be the last show we ever saw, which is exactly the reason we flew all the way to California to see them. The band had hit some bumps in the road with the recording of the Long Road Out of Eden, and at the time, it didn't appear as if the album was going to happen. Don and Glenn were both making comments in interviews that they were about ready to hang it up for good. Thank goodness they got back to work on the album, and things seem to have been going much more smoothly with the guys ever since. :yay:

just curious about this time in history...do we know what the "bumps" were?

[Topkat]

In one of the interviews with Joe, he said there were a lot of problems making LROOE. It was very hard for them since they hadn't made an album together in so long. The process went almost nowhere for about a year. It became very labor intensive, & I think there may have been disagreements as to what songs to even put on the album & then it turned into a double album. I don't think that was the original plan for a double album.

[Freypower]

It's reminiscing time for me too, as November 19, 20 & 21 were the dates of the 2004 Sydney shows.

[Glennsallnighter]

This time 5 years ago the Eagles kicked off their LROOE tour in London's O2 Arena. I was there along with my daughter (whose 1st Eagles concert it was) and 2 other Borderers, glenneaglesfan and Mrs Frey! Think it was 20 March, but they also played on 22 March.

It was absolutely wonderful!

Wow - I can't believe that was five years ago!!!

[zeldabjr]

which songs from LROOE did they do back then?

[Freypower]

which songs from LROOE did they do back then?

They would have done these:

How Long
Busy Being Fabulous
I Don't Want To Hear Any More
Guilty Of The Crime
No More Walks In The Wood
Waiting In The Weeds
No More Cloudy Days
Long Road Out Of Eden
Somebody

Those were the days. :huh:

[Glennsallnighter]

You just beat me to it FP!

It was a great night!

[Topkat]

Yes, that was an awesome show!!! OMG!!
I saw it in NY

[StephUK]

I was at the London O2 Arena show on 22 March 2008 - can't believe it was 5 years ago. It was my first Eagles show & the first time I'd seen my darling Will Hollis in the flesh......the world stood still and I'm sure my heart stopped when Will & the other support band guys walked onto the stage.
Although the arena was full, for a few seconds I wasn't aware of anyone except Will.:smitten:
I've got wonderful memories of that night!! The Eagles ran onto the stage as they played the opening bars of 'How Long' - haven't seen them run on at any show since.
I didn't care that they were in THOSE suits; I was just overawed to be at my first Eagles show.
We had seats in the middle section, row 3, so we had a good view.

'LROOE & Waiting in the Weeds' sounded awesome, and I was pleased that they did 'Somebody' 'cos listening to the CD I'd thought that it would make a good live song - and it did.

You never forget your first time.

[Topkat]

That was the 3 hour show if I recall correctly....
Maybe they are going to do 3 hours for this tour???? Didn't we hear that someplace??

[Houston Debutante]

I think Glenn Frey said it ~ I would pay the money they're asking to see a 3-hour show. It would be worth it. If they ever come to the South, that is.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

A year ago tonight, HH, Zelda, and I were shopping in a freakishly large liquor store in Alpharetta, picking up supplies for our stay to see our guys. Tomorrow will be one year since the three of us and Soda saw them, and Saturday will be one year since HH, LizzyPlays, and I saw them.

A pic from each:

Ah yes! Happy times! Today is also the anniversary of the San Jose show I saw with Troub, Wildthyme, Peek, Rhonda, and PLS in 2010. That was the night Peek took the famous photo of the "airborne Eagles":

:hilarious: We were tagged in it yesterday, I noticed. I will never forget getting a text from a couple of the ladies out there saying something like "OMG!! Joe and Smokey were just standing within feet of us at the elevator" and then finding out that it had left them all speechless. Kind of glad Ticky behaved herself and Joe was able to still make it to the shows. :hilarious:

[zeldabjr]

Today is a special anniversary to me...last year on this date I lost my Eagles concert virginity...dang it was good!!! I was in Atlanta..well Alpharetta..the Verizon Ampitheater...with VA HH and Soda...I was in the ninth row smack dab in front of Timothy...and I stood for two hours...everyone was standing...it was outside and the weather was perfect...to me the whole night was perfect...I remember crying at the end of the night 'cause I thought I would never see them again...HA!!!...the most magical night!

[Prettymaid]

Wow, you guys and your memory for dates...I'm no good at that.

[zeldabjr]

I was in Atlanta..well Alpharetta..the Verizon Ampitheater...with VA HH and Soda...I was in the ninth row smack dab in front of Timothy...and I stood for two hours...everyone was standing...it was outside and the weather was perfect...to me the whole night was perfect...I remember crying at the end of the night 'cause I thought I would never see them again...HA!!!...the most magical night!

Hey BJ...happy eagles anniversary.

[Glennsallnighter]

Awww thats brilliant Brenda, and TT. Enjoy reminiscing. I'll be doing a bit of my own later this month!

[Henley Honey]

It was one year ago today that VA, Houston Baby and I had the privilege of seeing Glenn play his first After Hours show. Sigh . . .
It was a wonderful night. Great seats, great show, great night.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

It was a totally awesome night!! I'm really looking forward to the History tour of the Eagles, but I surely could use an After Hours concert fix. The CD is great, but live is oh so much better.

[Henley Honey]

This was also the date in 2009 where I dragged my poor husband to Utah to see the Eagles open the Rio Tinto Stadium. We spent a few days and went to Park City for lunch and shopping, but the highlight was the concert. Definitely.

[Houston Baby]

I so agree HH & VA - it was a wonderful, awesome, PERFECT night! Glenn Frey in NYC looking so handsome in a beautiful old small theatre. :smitten: My first solo GF show and bonus - I get to meet y'all. It seems like forever ago. I feel like the little girl in the commercial - "We want more, we want more!"

BTW HH - I am curious, what is your Eagles concert count? :D

My count is over 20, but with VA -- Six?
I'm not counting solo shows. That would raise the number significantly.
And yes, like the little girl in the commercial, WE WANT MORE!

[Houston Baby]

:jealous: That's awesome HH - you lucky girl! I am pea green with envy!

[Glennsallnighter]

That was a wondeful evening indeed for you all! I so wanted to be there with you.

And guess what....

I WANT MORE TOO

[Outlawman13]

You ladies are so lucky!!!! LOL. Damn HH!!! Over 20 Eagles concerts? I want to go soon ohhh and I can't get enough Eagles!!!!!!!! I wish I were there with you ladies on that night!!!!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

My count is over 20, but with VA -- Six?
I'm not counting solo shows. That would raise the number significantly.
And yes, like the little girl in the commercial, WE WANT MORE!

Yes, we've gone to six Eagles concerts together, one songwriters event with Glenn, two of Glenn's solo shows, and one of Don's. (And a Seger concert!) Oddly enough, we aren't doing any shows together in the upcoming History tour and no shows at all in the next one.

[zeldabjr]

you know I have always hated that commercial..but when I think about it in terms of Eagles concerts...yeah I like it much better!

[Freypower]

Very briefly the Wiltern show was a year ago today my time. Soda, GA & I had a blast. I sat near Cindy & Jack Tempchin, saw Otis as 'guest percussionist' & had the immense privilege of seeing Here's To Life for the first time live. Also Same Girl, FSR, Worried Mind.... wow. I never dreamed I would then see it all again next year.

I wasn't right down the front but I was in Glenn's direct line of vision. When I stood up at the end I am pretty sure he saw me then. He was building up a library! :partytime:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v242/ozeagle/Solo%20Years/After%20Hours%20Tour/Wiltern32.jpg

[Glennsallnighter]

I'm doing my own bit of reminiscing too this weekend. What a wonderful time it was, and being with Soda and FP made it even better. I can honestly say that it was one of the best if not THE best concert I have ever been to. I was right in front of Glenn :heart: in the front row with Soda. It all went by just too quickly.

http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t236/Irisheaglesfan/Glenn%20Frey%20LA%202012/LA2012084.jpg

I should also say that we went to Dan Tanas for a meal afterwards and just being there too, steeped in all that Eagle history was just so awesome.

I think by the time we got back to the hotel that second night the sum total of my hours spent sleeping (apart from a little power nap in LAX while waiting for Soda) over 3 nights was....... 9

FP it was wonderful for you too that you managed to do it all again and in such style again this year. I'm still regretting I didn't get to join you!

[sodascouts]

The whole whirlwind trip was amazing. What fun times we had! My decision to go was a last minute, spur-of-the-moment thing and I was infinitely glad I did so. Glenn was superb and it was such fun doing the "Eagle tour" with GA and FP. Wish I could do it all over again! "Here's to Life" indeed!

[Troubadour]

What a fabulous experience you had! I know that trip has been on GA's mind a lot this weekend... I love the photos and love hearing about your travels. Enjoy those memories. :singer:

[zeldabjr]

one year ago today was one of the best days of my life!!!...I went to see sweet Timothy B at The Hamilton in Washington DC with VA and Dreamer...thanks VA...it wouldn't have been possible without you and your hospitality...will never forget it and love it as long as I live...here's some video of it someone put on Youtube...we were in the front but more directly in front of him than this person I think...and I sat there so close to him with my camera sitting in front of me...and forgot to pick it up and use it!!!...

Thanks Troub! This time last year I was just leaving LA for Dublin via Atlanta. I left LA at 10:30 am, and with 30 mins in Atlanta to transfer (ever RUN through an aprport) and losing 8 hours on the journey home I was back at 730 am the following day. Leaving 90 mins to get into work and on duty.......!!


Zelda, fantastic memories for you too!!

Wow--now that's dedication or craziness. I'm not sure which one!! :headscratch::hilarious:

[sodascouts]

Maybe a little both... says someone who's done the same thing. lol

[Brooke]

Too funny!

Soda, Ga, and Fp, what a cool experience you all had together! I would so love to do the 'Eagles tour'! Someday I will, you can count on it! :nod:

[Prettymaid]

Yeah, we'll do it together! We'll rent car and name her Thelma...

[Skpx]

Yeah, we'll do it together! We'll rent car and name her Thelma...

No you must name her Gladys!!!! You guys make me so jealous.. I feel like I have a lot of time to make up!!

[Brooke]

Yeah, we'll do it together! We'll rent car and name her Thelma...

Sounds good! Thelma, Gladys, who cares?! :lol:

[sodascouts]

Just don't pull a Thelma and Louise!

I hope I get to go. I've done Eagles tours three times and some here can attest to my skills as a driver. ;) we can bring Bridget!

[Brooke]

Lol! Soda, I think you should be 'tour director' as many times as you have gotten to do this! We don't want to miss anything!

[Prettymaid]

No you must name her Gladys!!!! You guys make me so jealous.. I feel like I have a lot of time to make up!!

I knew I was going to grab the wrong name out of my feeble memory! Gladys!!! Gladys!!!

[zeldabjr]

well today is one year since Day 2 of my "Timathon"...when I got stranded at JFK when my flight was cancelled returning from seeing his DC show the night before with VA and Dreamer...as it got later and later in the afternoon and my flight kept getting delayed and delayed...I started thinking about how TBS was playing in Manhattan that night and wouldn't that be cool to go to see him again...I had been sitting near this girl and chatting with her the whole time and had told her how there was a concert in Manhattan that night that I would love to go to...I talked to HH on the phone and she had tried to get me a hotel near BB Kings but I really couldn't afford it so had given up the idea of spending the night in NY and seeing him again...then they announced that my flight was cancelled...and my new friend Karen...a stranger really... grabbed me by the hand and said "come on we're gonna take a cab to Manhattan...you can sleep on my couch...I'm gonna get you to see your concert"...and there I was within the hour sitting at BB Kings waiting for Timothy to come out...a day I'll never forget...I remember strolling through the place trying to find Topkat because I knew she was gonna be there...and I only knew her face from her Facebook pic...we hadn't met at that time...but it was dark and jam packed...and I couldn't find her...and later I found out SallyGee was there too...didn't know her then either...Topkat videoed this....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7Uf3H--2zc

[Henley Honey]

I was thrilled for you and a little horrified at the same time. I remember making you give me the name and address of this woman because I couldn't believe that she'd offer you her couch having just met you. It all worked out, though, you had a great time, got to see Tim again and didn't end up robbed and dumped in an alley in Hells Kitchen.

[SallyGee]

Zelda, I love that story! One year ago I finally got to see Timothy solo. After admiring him for 40 years, he finally got the attention I always thought he deserved. I first loved him in Poco, and being so near to him was really a thrill. To be able to hear him tell stories and sing lead on every song was like a dream come true. I love the Eagles, but I always thought Timothy was so under used. So just him was so great. As Zelda mentioned, she and Topkat were there, but I did't know them. I had not yet found this board. Another great thing about this show- it's the reason I found the Border. I was looking for anything I could find about the show and I found you all. I am so glad I did. It is so great to know there are others as crazy about Timothy as I am. I just hope this show was not a once in a lifetime thing. I hope and pray that Timothy is healthy and regains his voice. I can't wait for another solo album and hopefully another tour.

see I never thought of anything like that...all I could think of is...I'm gonna see Timothy again tonight!!!...and that the girl I stayed with didn't know me either...I could have been an axe murderer!

[Topkat]

I woke up this morning thinking that it was last year that I was going to see Timothy at BB Kings. I have the post card with the date on it in my wall unit & I was remembering that day....Getting ready to go, what to wear =...it was so hot & humid, actually a lot like it was today & it was supposed to rain. Apparently, it poured while we were inside at the show.,..

Now, I had seen the Eagles several times, & Poco many times, but I had never seen Timothy's solo show...I was so thrilled to be there...
I met 2 really nice women on line at the show & we sat together right in front of the stage! I took some pics & video & I see Zelda posted one of them.

I had no idea that Zelda was going to be there, because as she said it was a last minute & lucky break that she ended up there... She didn't have my number so we didn't meet up there, but I did get to meet her when we saw the Eagles in Atlantic City in Sept!! I later heard that Sally Gee was also there, but we didn't know each other yet either!

It was a wonderful night & I had such a great time....Sure wish I was watching Timothy play tonight, instead of sitting here typing about it!:depressed:

[Houston Baby]

I've done Eagles tours three times and some here can attest to my skills as a driver. ;) we can bring Bridget!

Sodascouts - you need to write a how to book on touring! "How to see 5 concerts in 5 states in 5 days and live to write the reviews" or something to that effect. You have had some unbelievable experiences! :thumbsup:

[Houston Baby]

Z & TK - I'm so jealous of your time with Timothy! What beautiful memories!! Very special indeed!

You're closer than you know. I have had some wild times, and I keep track of 'em all! Here is a list of all the shows I've been to, both Fleetwood Mac and Eagles related, since my first Stevie show in Houston twelve years ago. They're in chronological order - and you can see many of them are within days of each other!

This is the first time I've made this list public. Don't judge! lol

[NYC Fan]

Well, color me impressed! No judgement here, except to say that is a pretty amazing list. You are so organized to keep track of all of that. :)

[sodascouts]

I had to keep track. I have such a bad memory that I would have gotten everything all muddled up in my head if I hadn't kept a list. It's easy enough - just write down where you went as soon as you get home! lol I also tried to keep tickets but sadly with the advent of print-out tickets that stopped being fun. I try to do Will-Call but some places won't even let you.

[NYC Fan]

Good point. I have a friend who keeps a spreadsheet of his concerts. I tease him about it, but I guess that would have been a good idea, but that ship has sailed for me. All I have is a shoebox of ticket stubs :)

[Houston Baby]

OMG Nancy!! I am EXHAUSTED just reading the list!! Just one word from me - AMAZING! Ok - 2 words - JEALOUS!!

The closest that I have come to that is this year in one week:

Saturday - 03/16 - Eric Clapton
Monday - 03/18 - Alicia Keys
Tuesday - 03/19 - Maroon 5
Saturday - 03/23 - Eagles (Las Vegas)

And those were all in Houston except for the Eagles.

So..........:bow:

[Prettymaid]

Soda, un-believeable!!!

[zeldabjr]

yeah jealous is a good word...lol...

[TimothyBFan]

I was thrilled for you and a little horrified at the same time. I remember making you give me the name and address of this woman because I couldn't believe that she'd offer you her couch having just met you. It all worked out, though, you had a great time, got to see Tim again and didn't end up robbed and dumped in an alley in Hells Kitchen.

Amen!!! While I was reading what Z posted about that night, I got nervous even knowing that she's fine and still with us. Glad it worked out but...No!!No!! No!! No!!! :fingerwag:

[Troubadour]

Incredible list, Soda!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

Wow soda, what a list.
Sounds like a book in the making to me..lol

FOr me, Jahh and I saw TBS solo at the keswick in glenside pa. May 31st 2012.It's a Beautiful old theater and it was half empty...such a shame. He completed my "seeing them all solo". I had decided before hand not to listen to Expando..I just wanted to be suprised and enjoy the music for the first time....glad I did.

I love Zelda' story , although I admidt that I almost chocked on my burger at the hard rock in AC when she told me.(our dinner before the eagles concert sept.1,2012..Dreamer, Soda,JAhh, Zelda and me...HH and VA were at pre show dinner at the revel before the concert)

FOr me, my very first "show" was DOn henley at the Borgata in June 9th 2007. He was sick that night but such a trooper and a great show

Then therewas the LROOE tour which I saw them three times .(Twice in July in Philly and the borgata in ac) (At this show at the Borgata, I got my picture taken with Scott Crago, WIll Hollis and Stuert SMith and their autographs and did I mention a hug from WIll and Scott??? ANd a TBS pick thrown right at me by TBS himself.What a night) And then Nov 25th 2008 at the Wachovia again.

Then there was Joe Walsh and BBKing at the Borgata 10-22-2011. It was an anniversary gift from JAHH ..We met up with Dreamer, SOda HH and her dh..FIrst time we met everyone and it was drinks and dessert after the show.

Then, After Hours tour at the Sands in Bethelhem Pa and it was Happy Birthday TT from JAHH..where we met up with Soda, Dreamer, VA and Pretty lil miss...(forgive me there were other people who joined us for drinks after and names escape me now)

Then came TBS as stated above, which means I had seen them all solo.

Next was the revel sept 1,2012...what a blast what a show and got to meet Sela Ward to boot. LOL She loves the Eagles and thought tey wer fab..When DH was motioning to her to come back stage,.I thought he was pointing at HH since she and Va were next to Sela and her Hubby.

Last but not least was the DH show Feb 1st at the revel with HH and her DH , dreamer,Va JAHH and myself. Great show and we were all sitting where we could see each other during the show. ALso got to meet Michael Thompson and he signed my cd too..Awesome expierences all of them

This is just the "boys"

It has been fun sharing stories and conceert reviews on line with other border people.
The Tbs show was one year ago today and it was great..Terrific talented guy.SO blessed tohave seen them all solo..you see another side to them.

[HeatherB]

Certainly enjoy hearing all your experiences!! I've only seen The Eagles twice, once in 1994 and again in 2010. Waiting for some Cali dates. Would love to hook up with other board members!!:rockon:

[sad-cafe]

October 7 will be my first time

[HeatherB]

Sad-cafe......you're gonna love it!!! Have a great time!!

[Topkat]

Last year on June 4th I was lucky enough to win tickets to the IHeartRadio show that Joe did in NYC....I was in the front row, center about 3 feet from him...He was amazing, as always! Such a fun night..
Here's a video I took that night;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHo9cRiKMH4

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Wow, it's been a year already!!

[Topkat]

Yes, I know it's hard to believe a year has gone by...It went by so fast!

Can't wait to see the guys again, but it looks like the solo shows will be on hold for a long time!

[Brooke]

Tk, can't believe it's been a year already! Such fun for you!

On this day in 2003 I got to see the Eagles at the Savis Center (now Scottrade) in St. Louis on the Farewell I tour! Can't believe it's been 10 years already! I didn't have great seats (25th row on the floor in the center) but hubby and I had a fantastic time! I actually tried standing on my seat, but figured I'd get in trouble, so I gave up on that and finally towards the end, made my way down to the front of the stage in a crowd of rabid fans on Joe's side to get a closer look!

I need to read my notes to try to remember if they wore the suits and what they sang! But I do remember it was fabulous! :brickwall: :lol:

[Topkat]

Brooke, It'a hard to believe that it's been 10 years since the Farewell 1 tour!!!
YIKES! That was a long time ago.
Funny you mentioned standing on your seat because as a teen, I did this all the time! I got away with it too, & nobody even complained, but of course those were the days when the ushers were all stoned on pot like everyone else!!!LOL:hilarious::hilarious: They didn't really care what you did! I used to sit on my boyfriends shoulders, & jump on my seat! I was a little maniac back then! I think I once even fell into the row behind me :hilarious:

[Prettymaid]

I need to read my notes to try to remember if they wore the suits and what they sang! But I do remember it was fabulous! :brickwall: :lol:

I don't think they brought out the suits until the LROOE tour...

[Brooke]

Tk, too funny!

Pm, of course you're right! See, it's been so long I didn't even remember that! :lol:

[Topkat]

Wonder who came up with the idea of those suits for LROOE tour????
I totally hated it! Looked like a funeral, not a rock band!
I can't wait to see what this new tour is going to be like!

[zeldabjr]

one year ago I saw Timothy's solo show at the Three Rivers Arts Festival in Pittsburgh...an outdoor venue...beautiful evening...
I took this video...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duR0PD2dkmA

[Freypower]

Wonder who came up with the idea of those suits for LROOE tour????
I totally hated it! Looked like a funeral, not a rock band!
I can't wait to see what this new tour is going to be like!

It was probably Glenn. I am surprised you didn't work that out.

The band as a collective have not actually worn suits since 2009 - that is FOUR YEARS ago.

[Topkat]

I was just thinking that when I saw Joe, he had a little yellow rubber ducky on the stage on the floor, right next to the mike stand...It was so cute!

At the end of the show, I really wanted to steal it, but I didn't dare!:fear: I was afraid one of those big bouncers would grab me & beat the crap out of me for taking Joe'e little duck!:fear::fear:

[Glennsallnighter]

This night 4 years ago we were all at the Eagles in the RDS in Dublin. It was a wonderful evening. Even though it had rained heavily all day it dried up in time and even Glenn :heart: commented that the weather was 'cooperating'!

I know StephUK was there - Laura and I had met her and her friend in Belfast two evenings earlier.

They dispensed with the suits and looked every bit rock stars that night!

[Prettymaid]

Was this show featured in the documentary, GA?

[Topkat]

Was that the LROOE tour? I hope they are planning to play some of that on this new tour, because they have only been playing 1 song from it & it's such a good album...
Nice pictures GA...Timothy looks Yummy

[Freypower]

Was this show featured in the documentary, GA?

No LROOE shows were featured in the documentary, only HFO shows & footage from F1, something I completely failed to understand.

[TimothyBFan]

http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t236/Irisheaglesfan/DSC02134-1.jpg (http://s161.photobucket.com/user/Irisheaglesfan/media/DSC02134-1.jpg.html)






I remember clearly the morning I pulled this picture up. It took my breath away. :fainted:


No LROOE shows were featured in the documentary, only HFO shows & footage from F1, something I completely failed to understand.

This was something that stood out to me in Part 2. It was such a huge tour, I can't believe no footage was included in the doc.

[Glennsallnighter]

Yes, I was disappointed with that too! I'd've loved to see some footage of LROOE, particularly as I got to some of those concerts too!

I suppose after the effort that was HOTE it is unlikely they are keeping LROOE for some future recording......?

Glad you liked my pic Willie! I DO remember posting those pics late the night I was at the gig!

[sodascouts]

Doubtful. I think they just didn't like how they looked. There was like three seconds of How Long from a LROOE show, but the rest of the time they'd talk about LROOE but show clips from Farewell 1 and the HITW video. Lame! One of the few things I didn't like about the doc.

Anyway, back on topic - I remember when you first posted those photos, GA. Absolutely terrific!

[Troubadour]

What a great show that was, GA, and the guys all looked gorgeous. I love the photos! Was it during this show that you phoned me while Don sang Desperado? :inlove:

[Glennsallnighter]

It was during the Belfast one two nights previously. I was texting you and said 'Wish you could hear this...... hang on..... maybe you can...' and called your number!!!

[Troubadour]

Aw, well I appreciated it so much! That's the closest I'll get to a phone serenade from Don... :sigh:

[TimothyBFan]

Aw, well I appreciated it so much! That's the closest I'll get to a phone serenade from Don... :sigh:

It reminds me of one I still have on my phone of Mr. Schmit serenading me with ICTYW when someone called me and I missed it, therefore, keeping it forever in voicemail. :heart: Thank you Troub & Peek!!

[Glennsallnighter]

Aw, well I appreciated it so much! That's the closest I'll get to a phone serenade from Don... :sigh:

Awwwwwwwwwwwww. I'm glad I thought of it at the time!

[Troubadour]

Aw, I'm glad you did too, GA! :hug:


It reminds me of one I still have on my phone of Mr. Schmit serenading me with ICTYW when someone called me and I missed it, therefore, keeping it forever in voicemail. :heart: Thank you Troub & Peek!!

I'm so happy it worked out that way. Now you can listen to your own personal serenade whenever you want!

[Brooke]

:hmm: I guess you all know what I'm thinking now? Someone needs to phone me during PEF or TS so I can have it saved on my phone!

Soda, dear, you have my number..........when's your next concert?

:lol: JK!

[prayfordaylight]

:hmm: I guess you all know what I'm thinking now? Someone needs to phone me during PEF or TS so I can have it saved on my phone!

Soda, dear, you have my number..........when's your next concert?

:lol: JK!

She, Dreamer, VA and I will all be in DC on Monday :D

[sodascouts]

I'll do PEF for you, Brooke, if you're serious.

[GlennLover]

That's so cool! :partytime:

[Glennsallnighter]

Brilliant idea!

[TimothyBFan]

I'll do PEF for you, Brooke, if you're serious.

Brooke-- Soda does it well also. I got to listen to the first 4 songs when the Eagles played Chicago a few years ago when I wasn't able to go. It was awesome!!!

[Brooke]

I'll do PEF for you, Brooke, if you're serious.

Hell yeah! I would love it on a message so I could save it! Thank you so much!

Now, should I answer or let it go to message? :yay: I don't want you to miss out on anything though......

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Brooke - if you want to save it, then don't answer the phone when Soda calls you. My saved voice messages eventually get deleted by my telephone service. I wanted to preserve a voice mail for all time once, so I recorded it, saved it on my pc, and then even burned it to CD.

[Troubadour]

That's awesome, Dreamer!

As cool as it would be to hear it live, I reckon you'll be so much happier if you let it go to voicemail, Brooke. Then you can listen over and over, and pick out little things you wouldn't notice upon hearing it once!

[Glennsallnighter]

This day night two years ago I saw Glenn :heart: solo for the very first time in a live solo show in Fallsview Casino. I can still remember how utterly excited I was waiting in my seat. I kept reading over my ticket and pinching myself wondering was it really happening or would I wake up a few minutes later. But it happened. It was fabulous, beyond my wildest dreams.

And in addition I had it all to look forward to the next night too.

Not to mention how wonderful too it was to finally meet so many Borderers in the flesh! Soda, PLS, Dreamer, FP, HH,GL, Timfan..... And the respective husbands too.

A wonderful never to be forgotten time!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Wow! I'm totally with you there, GA! Again! (at least in spirit, but we can dream, can' we!) :grin: That was indeed a wonderful trip and there are so many great memories.

And thank you for reviving this thread. I actually meant to post in here last week to reminisce about my first Niagara Falls trip to see Glenn, and forgot to do that. I will say, I definitely didn't forget about the trip, I just forgot to post.

Yep - August in Niagara Falls to see Glenn solo shows are some of my fondest memories ever!!! I'd love to continue the tradition. Hint, hint, Glenn!

[Freypower]

Two absolutely wonderful, incredibly surprising shows. What a privilege it was to see some of the After Hours songs performed for the first time, as well as On The Way Home, from an idea Glenn had that never came to fruition. I will never forget how he pointed at me during Route 66 at the second show. I knew then he remembered me from Sydney 2010. He would get to recognise me again later on. I can't thank him enough for those shows & of course it was incredible to meet some Borderers for the first time. Whether I ever will again I suppose only time will tell.

Wonderful indeed! I hope we have the chance to do so again!

[Glennsallnighter]

So do I!

I imagine his commitments with the Eagles will keep him busy for the foreseeable future but it is possible again of course, and he HAS mentioned the possibility of another album along the style of 'After Hours' with more if his own compositions in the future. So we live in hope!

:pray:

I just want the show to be filmed.

[GlennLover]

I sure haven't forgotten either! I've just had a busy couple of days without much time to post. It was a privilege to have seen these two shows. To hear Glenn make the initial announcement of the impending "History of the Eagles" documentary & his own "After Hours" album & to have seen him perform On The Way Home & four songs from AH was beyond my wildest dreams!!! It was thrilling to see the attention Glenn gave to GA on the first night & all the Borderers sitting at the front the second night! I must admit that I did feel some pangs of jealousy though. :) I still get all excited when I think about those concerts! They are one of the highlights of my life.

Apart from the concerts it was such fun just spending time with the other Borderers & the spouses that GA mentioned! It killed me that I couldn't join any of you for any of the After Hours tour! FP, as you said, Glenn mentioned in NF that he wanted to do another album. I pray that he does & that I will be able to make it to at least one concert if he does tour for it.

I also wish that there were others that could join GH & me in Montreal for the Eagles HotE concert there! Would really love to see all of you again & to meet other fellow Borderers! Harold misses seeing everyone too!

[Glennsallnighter]

Well sadly I can't make Montreal GL! But have a blast......

And say 'Hi' to Harold. He's a sweetie

[Henley Honey]

Well sadly I can't make Montreal GL! But have a blast......

And say 'Hi' to Harold. He's a sweetie


He is a sweetie. I had the pleasure of sitting next to him at dinner and he is funny, charming and a really good sport.

I had never been to the falls before and it was beautiful, but it was that much more enjoyable with other borderers. Maid of the mist, lunch at the Hard Rock, dinner at Shoeless Joes? Oh, yeah. The concerts weren't bad either!

I hope he plays there again. If so, I'm am definitely there!!!

[GlennLover]

GA & HH, I'll pass your comments on to Harold. He really enjoyed his time with the "Border Girls" (as he calls them) & Jesse.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I'll go along with that. GL, I'm really sad that you and Harold can't join us at one of the shows this year - we miss ya both. Please let Harold know that this "Border Girl" says 'hello' too and that we hope to see y'all again next year! :thumbsup:

[sodascouts]

Say hi from me, too, GL. Harold is a hoot!

[Troubadour]

I've enjoyed your reminiscing, ladies! I know how special those shows were for all of you.

[Freypower]

GA & HH, I'll pass your comments on to Harold. He really enjoyed his time with the "Border Girls" (as he calls them) & Jesse.

Hi Harold! :partytime: All those hours at Toronto Airport comparing the Australian & Canadian public services! And I spent some time talking to Jesse about golf!

Those shows were indeed special. I was in a state of shock after the first one.

[GlennLover]

Those shows were indeed special. I was in a state of shock after the first one.

So was I!!!

[Glennsallnighter]

I think I'd left Shock behind by then!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well today is the 3-year anniversary of my one and only Party of Two show. What a way to spend Labor Day weekend that was. It was an absolutely fantastic setting in Aspen, an absolutely fantastic show, and an absolutely fantastic party with Soda, Perfect Little Sister, Wildthyme, and, of course, GlennLover and her hubby, Harold.

GL, I'm loving your avatar! :thumbsup:

[GlennLover]

As my av & sig indicate, today is the anniversary of Glenn & Joe's concert in the JazzAspenSnowmass festival in 2010. The concert took place outdoors in Snowmass, Co. surrounded on all sides by the Rocky mountains. What a fantastic experience! The guys were in great spirits, cracking jokes & kidding each other. They gave a great performance!!!

I had the privilege of sharing the experience with Soda, Dreamer. PLS & Wildtyme. The only downside of the weekend was that time with these gals was too short! My husband & I stayed for several days & we were able to explore the area.

This is a picture of the Little Nell hotel (on the right), situated right at the base of Aspen Mountain. It is built on the site of The Gallery, the club where David Geffen sent the Eagles to practise after he signed them in 1971, as mentioned in the HotE.
http://i579.photobucket.com/albums/ss232/1Cdn/Aspen%20Vacation%20Sept%202010/026.jpg

[Ive always been a dreamer]

VERY cool picture and piece of trivia, GL. The fact that we can share these tidbits of information is one of the many things that is so great about this board. We had an absolutely wonderful weekend, for sure.

[GlennLover]

Glenn mentioned The Gallery & Little Nell in the concert & I had remembered hearing the story before that. That's why I took the picture, but it didn't really mean anything to anybody else. Now that people have seen the HotE doc it has more significance to others.

Dreamer, sure wish we could do it or something similar again!

[sodascouts]

What fun that was. Happy memories!

[Brooke]

Nine years ago today I got to meet Don Henley at a solo show in Springfield, Missouri! Can't believe it has been that long-where does the time go?!

I remember when he came in to the meet and greet that I thought he was such a small person. After idolizing him for years surely he was at least 7 feet tall! I knew I was going to cry before it was finally my turn to speak with him, I mean, I had loved that voice since 1972....I was in the same room and was actually going to touch him and talk with him! He was very nice and signed everything I presented to him and then we got our picture taken together.

A moment I'll never forget! :sigh:

[Houston Baby]

What a priceless memory Brooke! I share your feelings about that voice!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Wow, Brooke! I love it every time I hear stories like this. You are so lucky to have met Don - it's still near the top of my bucket list although I don't have any idea about exactly how I'm going to make that happen. :idea:

[GlennLover]

That's wonderful, Brooke! Truly an experience to cherish!

[Glennsallnighter]

Absolutely! What a great experience Brooke!

I must say though most of you would guess, meeting Glenn :heart: is number 1 on my bucket list.

[Brooke]

He's on my bucket list too, Ga!

Back in the day though, Don was my fave. Somewhere, somehow, Glenn rose to the top as my fave with Don running a very close second! :lol:

[WalshFan88]

Watching some videos of when I saw them in 2008. I'm so ready to see them again!!! And meet some Borderers. But seeing them not in funeral clothes will be nice and to see Bernie. Although I prefer Walsh, I have respect for him in that he paved the way for guitar and for multiple guitar changes over the years (Bernie/Bernie+Felder/Felder+Walsh). And I do dig the solos on PEF and TIE and of course the song WW. I will be glad to see the band in slightly less formal/more casual appearance.

[GlennLover]

Brooke & GA, meeting Glenn is #1 on my bucket list too!

Austin, I saw them in the suits in 2008 too so I am looking forward to the casual look as well!

[sodascouts]

What a wonderful memory, Brooke!

[Brooke]

On this day in 2008 I saw the Eagles on the LROOE Tour at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis! We did the VIP deal for the first (and last!) time in my life! First row, smack in front of Joe! It was absolutely awesome! An experience I will always treasure!

Fabulous show! Fabulous night!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

brooke thanks for saving your fab memeories.
what a night

[Glennsallnighter]

What a brilliant memory Brooke, and never say never! You don't know what the future holds for all of us!

[sodascouts]

I didn't post this yesterday because I was too freaking tired, but yesterday was the fifth anniversary of the Chicago show where I got to meet TimothyBFan, Prettymaid, and Maleah! It was such a hoot! I was really lucky to share that night with such cool people!
:grouphug:

[Ive always been a dreamer]

That's a great story, Brooke. Such a great memory.

Today, is the 41st anniversary of the first time I saw the Eagles in concert, in 1972. I still have the ticket stub. The tickets cost $5.50 and the show also included Yes and Edgar Winter. :grin:

I always love reading this thread! And Springbo, your anniversary takes the cake. Wow - how lucky you were ... I would love to see a picture of your ticket stub. Would it be possible to scan it and post it here? I would be very grateful. Unfortunately, even though I was a fan of the band from the very beginning, I never saw them live until 2003. So I love living all these old shows vicariously through those of you who were so lucky. And just for the record, $5.50 won't hardly buy you a bottle of water at a show today. :shock:

[Prettymaid]

I didn't post this yesterday because I was too freaking tired, but yesterday was the fifth anniversary of the Chicago show where I got to meet TimothyBFan, Prettymaid, and Maleah! It was such a hoot! I was really lucky to share that night with such cool people!
:grouphug:

Yep, I lost my Eagles viginity that night! First show ever! Lol! I had to convince Mr. Prettymaid that Soda, Willie and her hubby weren't serial killers (even though I'd never met them ;-)) and we had dinner together before the show. We had gotten our floor, row 20 tickets months in advance and thought we were sittin' pretty, when we see Soda, who didn't have a ticket when we all arrived, being led to her row 10 aisle seat! Hubby and I just looked wide-eyed at each other and shook our heads! Maleah, who I got to meet briefly before the show, took all of those excellent pictures we're always raving about from row 5, Joe's side. Willie has been kind enough to invite us to her home, and you couldn't meet nicer people than her and Larry. Soda has met us at a couple more shows since then, and we always have a good time. And the show was great! DUH!

[Brooke]

Fun times!

[Brooke]

Very cool, Springbo! I wish I had my ticket from my 1976 show. :sad:

[Houston Baby]

I still have my ticket from a 1976 show. Those guys were just so darn cute back then. You couldn't help but LOVE them!!
I need to look and see how much the ticket was in 76.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Thanks Springbo for the picture of the poster and your efforts to post a photo of the ticket.

And HB - I'd love to see your ticket too if you find it.

Anyway, I noticed in Today in Eagles History that the Eagles played their first show in my hometown of Richmond, VA. Now, unfortunately, I can't reminisce about it because I didn't go to that show or any of the others in the 70's for that matter. But it did remind me that I forgot to post in this thread earlier this year about the 10-year anniversary of my first Eagles show in Richmond on May 9, 2003. I definitely didn't forget the date, but I just forgot to post about it here. I would love to see some video from that show, but as far as I know, none has ever surfaced. I'll never forget the excitement of loosing my Eagles virginity even if I was a very late bloomer! :wink:

[Houston Baby]

I looked at my ticket and the price must have been on the other side because it is not on my half. Back in the days when they tore tickets in half, I did not like that. My half does show EAGL and Main Floor, Section C, Row 4. I will take it to Memphis and maybe Dreamer or Soda can show me how to post photos.

[NYC Fan]

Thanks everyone for sharing your stories. Love reading about people seeing them for the first time, and would love to see ticket stubs. My Eagles-versary is coming up in November. 34 years ago, on Joe's birthday. And I get to see them at MSG the same month. Feel so lucky we are still able to see them in concert!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I didn't make it here to post before the clock struck midnight, but, I wanted to mention that yesterday was the 8th anniversary of the Eagles show in Sacramento. The show was special to me because it was the first show that I ever went to and met up with other Eagles fans, including Soda. We haven't looked back since - still going strong!

[Prettymaid]

What a wonderful memory to have, Dreamer!

[Brooke]

Wonderful, dreamer! And just think, those crazy internet people turned out to be nice, too! :lol:

[GlennLover]

That certainly isn't a day to miss acknowledging! It's a red letter day in Border history! :partytime:

[Glennsallnighter]

What lovely memories Dreamer! I too am privileged to have met you on nit only ken but two occasions. This is a wonderful forum, and you Dreamer do so much to keep it that way!

[Freypower]

I don't mention the dates of my shows often but I went to three Sydney shows in 2004 at this time (November 19/20/21) & then they added another show at the start of December. So I have seen Joe on his birthday!

[Glennsallnighter]

Nice one FP! 9 years now! Wow!!

[Prettymaid]

Lucky you, Julie! Do you remember if they mentioned Joe's birthday during the show?

I don't often mention the dates of my shows because I don't remember! Lol! I must not be very sentimental!

[Freypower]

Lucky you, Julie! Do you remember if they mentioned Joe's birthday during the show?

I don't often mention the dates of my shows because I don't remember! Lol! I must not be very sentimental!

No, they didn't. But there was something in the atmosphere that night. Everyone was very playful & that show just seemed more relaxed than the other shows. I remember Glenn giving Joe an affectionate look at one point which was very sweet.

[Brooke]

Fabulous memories Julie!

I would think they would mention any of their birthdays if they happened to be playing. It would be a fun thing.

[Prettymaid]

Fabulous memories Julie!

I would think they would mention any of their birthdays if they happened to be playing. It would be a fun thing.

Yeah, I wonder if they ask the birthday boy, whomever it may be, before the show if it's okay to bring it up. I would imagine it would depend on their mood.

[Freypower]

I did think of something else that happened at that show. Joe said he had spent all day in his hotel room watching cricket & all I could think of was 'on your birthday? You poor man'!

Thank you all for your kind comments. And it's amazing how nice some of the crazy internet people that I have met over the last 8+ years have turned out to be. I'm very lucky because, thanks to this site, the list has become way too long to name everyone. But, I cherish the friendships I have made with my fellow Borderers.


That certainly isn't a day to miss acknowledging! It's a red letter day in Border history! :partytime:

Now - this just made me laugh. :thumbsup:

[sodascouts]

lol! It certainly was! ;)

Who are you calling crazy?? :grin:

[Brooke]

You all are too funny! lol

Well, it was 37 years ago today that I went to my first Eagles concert at the Checkerdome in St. Louis! The Eagles had been me and my husband's favorite band since he got their first album in 1972. We were poor and it was such a thrill to get to go see them live! I so wish I could remember something about that concert other than that they looked like ants from my view in the rafters and that smell! Maybe that’s why I can’t remember anything! I remember the trip there, but not much else! :hmm:

I was so thrilled to find this entry in my old diary a couple years ago because I couldn’t even remember the date for sure:

Tuesday, November 23, 1976
“B and I left for St. Louis this afternoon at 4:30 to go see the Eagles, Joe Walsh, and JD Souther. We went with 4 other friends. They sang all my favorites plus some songs from their new album ‘California Hotel’! (Obviously I didn’t have the new album yet! :roll: lol) I’ve waited to see them so long, I wish it wasn’t over! I loved it!” :sigh:

My brother and cousin declared that they went all the way down to the stage during the concert! I never knew whether to believe them or not, but was jealous that I hadn’t been brave enough to try it! (And to think I might have gotten a 3E button! Didn't know anything about those back then!) I didn’t even remember that JD was with them, but my husband does.

And it was 26 years before we got to see them in concert again!

[sodascouts]

How cool that you found that entry! "California Hotel." Lol!

[Henley Honey]

That's a fabulous story, Brooke. I don't know what to be happier about -- the fact that you are still so happy in love with your husband or that you are still so happy in love with the Eagles!!! Either way, you've got good taste, girl!!!

[Glennsallnighter]

What a lovely story Brooke, and you have seen them again this year too! With the same guy!!

[Prettymaid]

California Hotel just doesn't have the same ring to it...

[Brooke]

I know! :lol:

Yup, hubby and I still love each other and they are still our favorite band!

That really was a special show. Thanks for posting the pictures. They brought it all back. Ahhhh.

[Glennsallnighter]

Great pics Brenda, thanks for posting!

[Freypower]

I saw Glenn a year ago (February 21) in Brisbane & in Melbourne the next night. The Brisbane show was extremely special because I received personal recognition at the end.

Oh Fp, I just read your Brisbane review again and am just amazed at your 'encounter' with Glenn! How wonderful! Still! What special memories for you!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Have fun reminiscing, FP! I love reliving Eagles adventures in my mind.

Enjoy reminiscing FP. Still my greatest regret of last year was that I didn't grab this by the horns and GO!!

[Freypower]

Thanks for the comments. There is a great deal I could write about it but I don't wish to be self-indulgent. I was on my way to Melbourne a year ago today; I will leave it at that. :thud:

[GlennLover]

I'm still thrilled for you, FP! I love hearing you tell about it!

[zeldabjr]

I'm very emotional today...It was two years ago tonight I was in Alpharetta Georgia to see my very first Eagles concert...sigh....It was amazing...I was in the ninth row...right in front of Timothy...omg...

VA took lots of great pics that night!!!...like this one...http://i1200.photobucket.com/albums/bb328/vernakrose/may%202/tim.jpg

[sodascouts]

Fun times!!!!

[WalshFan88]

Very cool Zelda!

I remember very little of my first Eagles concert in '08 as I was on some pretty heavy duty medication at the time and it wiped out my memory from that whole year pretty much. However I do remember the second (last one so far) one very well from last year.

[Glennsallnighter]

Wonderful memory Brenda! It's true, I get emotional too then I think 'this night last year/ 2 years ago etc, I was watching the Eagles/Glenn :heart: etc'.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Go for it, ladies - I love reminiscing too! :thumbsup:

[sodascouts]

So I was trying to decide what to wear today and as I was shuffling through my tshirts, I found my tank top emblazoned with "I got Frey'd at Manhattan Beach - June 14, 2008." Of course, I had to wear it! Can't believe it's been 6 years!

[sodascouts]

On this day in 2006, I saw the Eagles in London, England. It was only my second time seeing them. How I wish I were there tonight as well!

[Glennsallnighter]

Yes that was a pity you weren't. Or even better the 16th when Troub and I were there!

[Glennsallnighter]

Can't believe its a year tonight since my first HOTE show. In addition to a wonderful weekend in New York, watching my favourite band play 2 shows, I also met Desperada, VA, LP, TK, Desperado, NYC fan...... the list goes on, for the first time. And also renewed old friendships - HH, Dreamer... Hope I haven't left anyone out. I know I got back again this year AND had my own shows in Ireland and the UK, but they just leave you wanting more!!

GA, I second everything you said, it was a magic weekend!:partytime:
I really hope the Eagles produce a HOTE concert DVD very soon!
I would love to see this show again:pray:

[Glennsallnighter]

I hope so too! I can recreate a lot of it in my head, but I miss that banter between the guys and the obvious fun! My son only went to one show but he seems to have a photographic memory and talks about all the background images/videos etc like he had seen several shows.

[zeldabjr]

yes I was there too...I roomed with you guys...I keep thinking of that weekend...may have been the last times I ever see the guys...kind of bittersweet thinking of it...very memorable two nights...

[Glennsallnighter]

Oh hell Brenda, of course! I KNEW I was leaving people out! Sorry!


I hope you DO get to see the guys again though

[VAisForEagleLovers]

It was a great weekend!! We need more of those weekends! It was great meeting both GA and Desperada, and all the others I met as well as saw again for the first time in a long time.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

It sure was a fun weekend. Actually, the more I think about it, November has been a very good Eagles month for me dating all the way back to 2005 when I experienced my first show with other fans, including Soda.

[sodascouts]

November 19, 2005, Dreamer! My first Eagles show and meeting you.... a life changing event!

[zeldabjr]

my two roomies from a year ago...very appropriately attired in their new jackets!!...GA and Desperada!!!

[Glennsallnighter]

Thanks Brenda! We had a great weekend alright from start to finish! Thanks for the pic. I posted the same in Frey Fever, only I 'let' desperado wear the working pass as we are celebrating her new 'Border Desperado' status.

[Brooke]

Wonderful memories for all of you!

Cute pic too!

[GlennLover]

Nov was a memorial month for me too. Just over a year ago on November 4 I saw my first HotE show in Montreal. I met Glenn Honey and her husband for dinner and we had a lovely evening with them.

[Glennsallnighter]

Great Memories GL and GH!

[Desperada]

Thank God hell forze over!
I hope that we are able to it do all over again, please Eagles, You're not ready for the rockin' chair!!

We had great times, thank you.

[DJ]

I sure wish they'd make their way to my neck of the woods! I'd love to see them. I can only hope they tire of some of the places they've been and venture out west.......:inlove:

[Roey]

Looks like Glenn is waving just to you ! What great seats you had. If only there were more concerts scheduled. In 2014, I saw 2 shows locally (NJ and NY) and flew to California spur of the moment for Anaheim and San Diego. My family laughs at me but it was the best and I would do it again.

I just saw J Geils and Bob Seger at MSG. Bob gave a shout out to his friend "Glenn". Fantastic concert but nothing tops the Eagles in my opinion (or heart).

[zeldabjr]

a pic I took that night in Vegas...This was Timothy's first performance after his cancer surgery!!!

I'm looking forward to seeing Seger next month!

I think Glenn may have really been waving at whomever was taking the picture, it wasn't me! I got it off Twitter.

[Glennsallnighter]

Great pics and memories ladies. Love the seats you had. Do I see HH's husband in one of those pics too? I hope they continue after Australia. I want to see more of this....

[Brooke]

Great memory for you guys! Nice pics too!

[DJ]

:thumbsup:Great photos! Glenn does seem to be waving right in your direction.
