Just got back to the hotel. The show was great and Peek got tons of fab shots! I also managed to snag a setlist from one of the crew. We didn't get the second encore and Don's voice was a bit rough at first, but he was in a terrific mood and after his throat opened up, he was nailing it. More details later - I gotta get some sleep. It's Joe time tomorrow!
Before I go, though, a sample of Peek's handiwork:

OMG--That is gorgeous!!!!! Can't wait to see the rest if they're even half as good as this one.
OMG that is an awesome picture! He is gorgeous as usual :in love:
I am glad he was in a good mood. Can't wait to hear more.
Beautiful picture Peek! Glad you had a great night. Have fun tonight with Joe
WOW! What a beautiful photo!
Sounds like it was a good show. Good that Don's voice got better through the show. Did you enjoy hearing him do some quite different songs?
PLEASE tell me - how is my darling Will? Did he look gorgeous as usual?
I know his piano intro to 'It don't matter to the sun' would have been beautiful.
Did you notice him conducting the horn section?
That's something about him I remember from the shows I saw - playing the keyboard with his right hand & conducting with his left.
Will was in excellent form, and IDMTTS was indeed beautiful. I didn't notice the "conducting" bit but I guess I'm not that observant!
I didn't notice it either in the concerts I saw.... I guess that is another reason why I need to see Don again :-)Quote:

Steph - check out the photos in this link. Quite a few with Will, though he looks a bit fierce in a couple of them. :)Quote:

That's a BIG horn section. The Eagles only use four & Glenn when he used more than one person only used four.
That photo is so, so gorgeous! Good job, Jess. :thumbsup:
Stunning photo, Jess! Looking forward to hearing & seeing more when you get a chance. :thumbsup:
Soda and I went over some things and she's gonna do a proper write up of this show but I thought I'd go ahead and do a quick post of a few of my thoughts. This was my fourth Don Henley solo concert and I think this one was my favorite one of all. Don was in fine form all around. He sounded great and looked fantastic. I loved that he seemed relaxed and chatty. Going into this show I knew what to expect regarding the setlist but being there and seeing/hearing those songs performed live was much more exciting then I expected. It Don't Matter To The Sun was absolutely breathtaking. I'm so glad he did this song because on the setlist that Soda got this song was listed as an "Audible". I hope he includes it on his upcoming country album because his version is so beautiful. The whole world should get the chance to hear him sing it.
HOTM has always been my favorite of his solo songs but this time around, for me, it was extra special to hear it live and I'll admit that I got a little choked up and teary eyed when he sang it. He can't go wrong when singing this song live. Beautiful, just beautiful. I didn't realize til after the concert that Don didn't do Witchy Woman. I was a little surprised by this because I'm pretty sure that he did that song at his other solo concerts I've been to. I was having such a great time that when the band came back out and started into Hotel California I was a surprised that I had forgotten all about this song. It was a very pleasant surprise tho.
There were many difficulties for me leading up to this concert but nothing was stopping me from getting there. I made it to the concert and enjoyed every single moment. This concert was AMAZING!! I'm so thankful that Don came back to Oklahoma to do this show. He is more than welcome to come back again and again.
I'll post some of my favorites of the pics I took. Here's the link to rest of them. Steph, there's a few of Will in there for you too.

Take a good look at this next one. You can actually see the sweat dripping down. :drool::thud:

Thanks for sharing the pictures. DON LOOKS FANTASTIC!. I'm going to have to take another look at those.
GAH! I have no words... They are incredible photos, Jess, and he looks absolutely drop-dead gorgeous. I can't even pick a favourite! Thank you so much for coming through yet again with amazing pictures!
PS: The sweat was the first thing I noticed. Sigh!
Wow. Just WOW. I haven't even clicked the link to the rest of your photos yet and I'm totally blown away. Thanks so much for posting these so fast, Peek!
WOW!! Just WOW!!! Those are some of the most gorgeous pictures I have ever seen. Were you on the freaking stage with him? They are so clear and close up!! Thank you!!!
ETA: Just looked at the others you linked to!!! Steph is gonna LOOOOOOVE you!!! :thumbsup:
Oh my god these pictures are Wonderful! Like the others I am speechless. How did you get such great shots? I have to say the second one is my favorite, but it was a tough choice since they are all just great. Don looks gorgeous as always and you just captured this perfectly. Thank you for sharing!
Great to hear from you Peek and your pics are absolutely fabulous! Thanks so much! You must have a super camera! :thumbsup:
Glad you had such a great time! How could you not?
Pictures are fabulous. You really seemed to capture the passion he feels for his music.
I'm sorry I've been so remiss in posting reviews and such - I'm desperately trying to get everything at work done before my trip this weekend!
OMG! WOW!
Those pictures are absolutely incredible, Jess! What a fantastic job you did.
And I love Don's new shirt!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
I think I like that second photo best too. :smitten:
Wow loving all your photos Jess. :nahnah: Don is looking mighty good. :thumbsup: Off to look at the link now. :)
:hilarious: You got me dreamer! I'm like, what new shirt? Went back and looked! Yup, seen it! Then I saw your lol's! :fingerwag:Quote:

Sorry 'bout that, Brooke. I just couldn't resist. And you're right - he does look gorgeous in those pictures. Now I'm really not ragging on Don cause I love him to pieces, but I do giggle whenever I see that shirt because he wears it so much. He must REALLY like that shirt. Maybe someone will give him a different one for Christmas. :)
But really, I'm just poking a little fun at him - in all seriousness, he has earned the right to wear whatever he wants whenever he wants!
Yes Don, please do include 'It don't matter to the Sun' on your album.:thumbsup:

Thanks for drawing my attention to that link TimFan. Will does look a little fierce in one or two, but gorgeous in the others. :faint:
Peekaboo, your photos are amazing. :thumbsup:
Thanks for all those lovely ones of Will.:smitten: Also love the one of Mike Thompson when he came out from behind the piano to 'get funky' - I was sorry I didn't get a photo of him at the shows I saw, but yours makes up for it.
Glad you had a great time - knew you would.
Thanks again for sharing your wonderful photos and for spoiling me with so many of Will.
WOW, your photos are amazing, Peek! THANKS
Lol to Dreamer! I was thinking the same thing - Don must really like that shirt!
Jess, your close ups are incredible! Aren't zoom cameras great?
Peekaboo, I have to keep going back to your photos to have another look...Will looks so gorgeous. :nod:
I think Don must feel comfortable in that shirt 'cos he does keep wearing it - although I suppose he doesn't take many with him on tour.
Maybe he has several versions of the same shirt... so he doesn't need to stress out if it doesn't come back from the laundry in time :hilarious:
WOW!!!! I just got a chance to look at these. They're awesome. I love the look on his face in the second to the last one. Love the sweat pic, too. I have to go through those again when I get back from visiting my sister-in-law.
So glad y'all like the pics. I certainly had fun taking them. :)
If only, Willie, if only. Who knows what would've happened if I had been on that stage with him. :smitten:Quote:
