Eagles at Spokane WA - 5/29/2015

[TimFan222]

Well it's official-Don called this the final lap. Heard it with my own ears😓😓😓
Was at the show in Spokane last night. What a great show. They were playing so tight. I am more amazed with their abilities musically each time I see them!!
The night started in the usual way but without the lights coming down. It appears that is truly gone. Also different Glenn was sitting on a stool rather than a road case. When they do Saturday Night you can now see Steuart in shadows playing mandolin off to the side
Don talked about renting from "Bud" but (first time I heard this) Bud would buy a 12 pack and watch them play. He'd say "you boys sound real good".
Don would say anybody sounds good after 12 beers. Glenn was really laughing
After Joe sang Life's been good, Don looked at Joe and and said "that was pretty good". Got a smile out of Joe
At one point Joe announced he was going to tell everyone how Spokane got its name. Then said he had no idea really. Glen was laughing out loud here. Didn't see that one coming
This is the loosest I have seen them in a long time. They seemed to be having a great time. Lost of smiles all around. Guess they see the light at the end of the tunnel. Good for them bad for us
Will write more later if I think of anything worthwhile

Thanks for the info! Yeah, I'm not surprised this is the final lap of the tour - it had to end sometime, and it's been two years. I suggest everyone see it while they can!

They would want to make a trip back to Ireland/UK before they finish up !! :-(

I hate I won't get to see this tour. :sad: I just couldn't make it and Bossier City is on a weekday. Maybe they will do some touring next year and I got then, but than again. I'm still waiting on Mr. Henley with his album and possible tour whenever that happens. LOL

Very cool photos. If it's true that this is the final lap, I can knock another of my favorite bands that I'll never see live! :(

[sodascouts]

Well, final lap isn't the same as final show EVER. If I really thought that the band would never play together again, I would be devastated. I would also be cursing the fact that I wouldn't be able to attend the Bossier City show thanks to a commitment to go to Africa with Children's Emergency Relief International.

I truly believe, barring unforeseen circumstances, that we will see them perform together again. Now, it might be after a year's break or so, but frankly that's a good thing. Incessant touring will exhaust them and make it difficult for them to be creative. I'm ready for some studio work, be it solo or as a band. Let Don lead the way and release Cass County this year.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure we'll see Bernie with them again on a regular basis, though I hope I'm wrong about that. He is a fantastic addition and I like the idea of the Eagles being a five-piece again, with Bernie this time instead of Felder - at least in their live act, if not in the studio (although that would be cool, too).

[TimFan222]

Soda I agree that they will still play together occasionally just not HOTE. I am still praying for a new DVD. Would love to see that happen. I really think they will still play Vegas couple times each year. I have been checking the Bosier show and their are no good seats available
At the VIP party they even announced they will finally give away those great pics. There has to be about a million entries I think

[SilverAcidRayne]

feel free to correct me if this is in the wrong place. which i think you guys beat me to it. lmao

but i ran across these and thought you all would enjoy them :)

TF222 - Thanks so much for posting your thoughts and glad it was such a great show. It is very sad to think of the HotE tour winding down. I'm still in hopes they may schedule a few more shows in the fall, but you just never know with these guys. I do agree though that these won't be the final shows. I just hope they don't go back to an abbreviated setlist, although I fear they will.

And SAR - thanks for those great pictures. I went ahead and merged your thread with this one.

Thanks for the info, TF222. Glad you two got to catch them again. Maybe the final lap will have another leg.:thumbsup:

A small review, in the middle of the article. For whatever reason, their sports editor did the review.

In his last line of the review, he says 'interestingly (thankfully)', that the band plays nothing from LROOE. I've read a couple of other similar comments lately and I'm beginning to wonder if the band feels most folks don't want to hear anything from the album??? I personally find it hard to believe that most of the audience wouldn't enjoy hearing How Long. This is a question I sure would love to have the opportunity to pose to one of the band members.

TF222, thanks for your thoughts and I'm so glad you got to see them!

I wish I would have gotten to see them one more time on this tour, but it wasn't to be. I think they will be together again a few times a year, after a long break, but no more major tours. The lengthy set list will probably be no more too. I think they will tour some solo though. Maybe I can catch one of them. Here's hoping!

[Funk 50]

Thanks for the great revues everybody :thumbsup:

This being the last leg of the HOTE Tour means that they've got time to do a bit of solo stuff and then regroup for a certain 40th Anniversary. I kinda hope that they keep Bernie though.

Once again you assume they will do something for the HC 40th anniversary. As they've never done anything for the other album anniversaries I don't see why they would change for this one, no matter how famous it is.

So they have a reason to tour, of course.

[AlreadyGone95]

HC was released in December 1976, so they could wait until 2017 to tour (in which case I would save up $$$ to buy nosebleed seats :hilarious: ). That would give them a good 18 months off to rest, spend to with family, and work on other things. It's highly plausible, but with this band you never know!

A good review for the Eagles, a not-so-good-review for the woman who ruined the concert experience for this guy...

:hilarious:, I feel for the guy. That would suck to have your concert ruined like that. I found the review (about the band at least ) very nice. The comments, on the other hand.... :cuss: :cuss: :enraged:.
I will never understand how people can call one the best selling bands ever hacks (that's the tame description).

ETA: Can someone tell me how the Eagles are "elevator music"? :confused: :headscratch:

[VAisForEagleLovers]

I avoid the high blood pressure by not reading the comments on anything. There are too many people who go to an article (or page on Facebook or Tweet) and post negative stuff for the sake of it. They don't even necessarily care one way or the other.

[sodascouts]

I read the comments sometimes out of morbid curiosity, but 99% of time time, it's the haters who flock to post in the comments sections. I don't engage with them; it's a waste of time.

[Brooke]

At least he actually liked the guys!

KK, now fess up! :hilarious:

Looked exactly the same last night. I think he only has two shirts with him. The plaid and the white
