My favorite so far?


Don: "After 12 beers pretty much anything sounds good.
Glenn: "So drink up ladies and gentlemen."

Driving home now. The show was GREAT!! Loved my seats and the guys sounded awesome. I'll be getting home pretty late and have to work tomorrow, so a full review won't come til then, but just know that the show was rockin'!

I definitely agree with Tori! The Eagles were rockin' in Green Bay, and I had an amazing time! I also enjoyed Glenn's jokes, even though some of them have been told for years, the crowd really responded well to them. I also had quite a few laughs at some of the background images for the songs, including Glenn's "Already Gone" saga, and all of Joe's antics! :hilarious: I even managed to sneak a few photos, this one being my favorite:

Another picture that shows off Glenn's very long shirt...

I think Don's shirt is a bit too long as well (still a nice view though :nahnah:) but the rest of the band...:thumbsup: :grin:

On a more serious note, it sounds like the guys were really on form last night and I loved the beer quote !!

Nice picture, LITFL! I think if you have other than on the floor you have a greater chance of possibly nabbing a few photos. The gestapos on the floor are pretty relentless until the final encore and bows. I mean, what are they going to do at that point...escort you out as the house lights come up???

[cynd1231]

This is, by far, the BEST review I've read in a long time...

I love it!! My favorite line:



Known for impeccable sound at their shows, Sunday night was no exception. It's hard to imagine Frey's voice sounding any more pure than it did on "Tequila Sunrise" or Henley's show-ending "Desperado" any more beautiful.

Sorry in advance for the wall of text, I just get so excited about these people! I live in the Milwaukee area so the drive to Green Bay took about two hours. We killed a little time by getting dinner and doing a little shopping, and then we went and parked (at Lambeau Field!!!) and picked up our tickets. We got all signed in, given the commemorative tickets which are amazing, and then we got on the floor. I thought 13 rows back would be pretty far back, but WOW. They were GREAT seats! No one ended up sitting in the row in front of us either, so the view was pretty darn great. The phone policy was pretty severely enacted, but I managed to check Facebook a couple times and post one crap-quality photo of the stage to Instagram. And then all of a sudden the house lights went out and Don and Glenn came out and did their fist bump, along with Saturday Night. Cue screaming, uncontrollable giggling, and shaky limbs. (I probably acted like most teenage girls would at a One Direction concert, but hey, these guys ARE my One Direction, so give me this moment people!)

The entire show was AWESOME. All of the guys sounded great and looked great as well - same clothes as the other shows. Personal highlights for me:
-The new Witchy Woman arrangement is so great, oh my goodness.
-The DD/Desperado Reprise never fails to blow me away live.
-Glenn did Plaintiff before Lyin’ Eyes and my sister and I rolled our eyes so hard. The other usual jokes made appearances as well.
-I thought I’d get through Pretty Maids without crying, but they got to the “ooh” interlude at the end of the song, and there were pictures of small children frolicking through cornfields and watching fireworks and all that, and I lost it because sometimes I’d give anything to go back to being a little kid running around without a care. Plus that song was one of the first Eagles songs I ever heard, so that made things even more emotional.
-Tim did this thing before ICTYW where they lit up different sections of the audience so “we can see your beautiful faces”. It was cute. I had to cheer for the people in the nosebleeds because that’s where I was 11 years ago!
-These two rambunctious and possibly intoxicated ladies decided to “seat-hop” into the empty row in front of us. They were being quite loud and distracting from the show, so the guy sitting next to my sister attempted to get them out because they most definitely had not paid $450 for those seats. The guy next to us and the ladies got into a verbal squabble, including f-bombs and one of the ladies pulling the “I have breast cancer” card. Seriously. It’s a terrible thing, of course, but that doesn’t give people a free pass to be rude! An usher came to escort them away during NKIT, and we were pleased.
-Heartache Tonight’s intro is still so great. I love it!
-I continue to be blown away by Joe’s solo after In The City. Crowd went wild when he really got into it.
-Band intros were the usual. I screamed “I LOVE YOU DON HENLEY” in a semi-quiet moment, haha. Tim seemed to get a LOT of love from the GB crowd.
-Don seemed quite happy during Long Run. I was pointing at him and singing at him and all sorts of cheesy stuff. I can only hope he noticed. :)
-Hotel California remains one of the greatest songs of all time.
-During Rocky Mountain Way, Joe cued us to sing the “time to change the batter” line, so me and my sister jumped up on our chairs and screamed it. The people around us looked at us funny, but they found it amusing, I suppose!
-Don’s voice was ON POINT during Desperado. So beautiful. Gosh I love that guy. I also have to shout out to the lighting designers here. The single light being on Don was great enough, but then the rest of the guys being lit when the backing vocals came in was just beautiful. I wish I could’ve taken a picture. I ended up telling the light/sound techs that they did a great job as we walked past the booth on the way out!

When the guys left the stage, we stood on our chairs again briefly. I waved, blew kisses, and made little hearts with my hands at them… and I’m pretty sure Glenn and Don noticed. I got a couple nods from them, so my life is complete basically. :) :) :)

So there it is. Another fantastic Eagles concert in the books. Round Four was a great time and I can’t wait til Round Five… eventually!

Oh yeah, and we almost hit a deer. But we’re okay!

Oh, Tori, your review made me smile from ear to ear!! I'm so glad you had such a good time. I love that you were both so enthusiastic. The guys like that kind of feedback, I think, although if I did it at my age they'd likely consider calling security. :hilarious:

Thank you for posting it, I believe you made my day!

[Tori]

Gee thanks, VA! Glad I could make ya smile, I guess the enthusiasm is infectious!!

In other news, the post-concert depression is so real right now. Worst part about Eagles shows. :(

[sodascouts]

Thanks, Tori!

Great reviews and photos, too. Sounds like a good time was had by all!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Another review!

Tori, wonderful review! Sounds like you had an amazing time! And glad you missed the deer and are ok!

PEW, it's a terrible thing! All you can do is listen to their music and watch dvds! Or possibly, go to another show!

Just wanted to add my two cents for the Resch Center concert - it was beyond FANTASTIC, every song was perfect!!! I feel fortunate that I was able to catch one of these shows and I'm happy to see so many rave reviews.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Glad you had a great time, SPrim!!

Here's an article that talks about the lack of cell phone use at this concert. As is getting more and more prevalent, the idea of it is favorable.

I found it interesting that a lot of the older crowd on the floor questioned it at first, but then complied (for the most part). I know I certainly had my objections to it at first, but now having seen the concert from the floor with very minimal phone use, I have to say I'm liking the idea more and more.
