Great concert! He sounded great and put on a great show. On my phone, so can't post pics. I didn't take too many and not sure how they turned out.

He sounded great overall. My sister seemed to really enjoy herself.
I have more to say but I am trying to type on my new smartphone and it's not easy. I'll write more later.
I'm sure Soda and/or Dreamer will post more details, but the show was great. Glenn sounded great, and his delivery amazing. He talked more and joked more, very much an artist who interacts with an audience.
On thing he did do that I noticed is that he tended to only sing and talk to half the crowd, the half on his right. In previous shows I sat on his right and so wouldn't have noticed if he's always done this. I have no idea why he'd look straight out and then off to his right and seldom, if ever, his left. I did sit on his left at Town Hall in NYC and I don't remember him doing it. Maybe it was one of the spotlights? No idea.
During The Look of Love, it was one he sang almost exclusively to the other side, and I'm not sure what was going on, but he grinned a lot through it. So I spent my time wondering why instead of enjoying the song.
The setlist was same as what was posted for the Charlotte show and the shows back in May.
The Will that we know and love wasn't there, instead, a different Will was in his place. He wore a hat and a different-looking pair of glasses. As noted in another thread, Reggie McBride played bass instead of Wade.
It was a great show, and again, made better by being with Soda and Dreamer. Enjoyed meeting Soda's sister. Of course, I missed HH being there.
Can't wait to see the pictures. Sounds like a great show again. Curious about the looking to one side more. Will be interested to see if others noticed or not.
So Here's To Life was not included?Quote:

I'll preface this with saying that at this venue, front row is too close to take good pictures. I couldn't get the zoom right, the angle was bad, and I didn't take many to begin with. Here's what I have... The first one merely shows just how close we were.

No, it was not.Quote:

Soda! Glad your sister enjoyed herself!
Sounds great, ladies! Very cool about him blowing a kiss! Oh, to be on the receiving end of that! :thud: (Is dreamer still standing?)
VA, awesome pictures! Thanks!
so excited to hear about Glenn blowing a kiss back to Dreamer...she will never be the same...
great pics VK...of course
so glad Soda's sister had a great time...knew she would right?

You knew I'd pick up on this ! No Will Hollis......hope he's OK. Maybe he was busy elsewhere.
BTW, there is a rumour that Will is going to be playing in Shania Twain's support band when she does her Vegas Shows, but I haven't been able to find out if it's true or not yet.
No Will. No Wade. No HH. Jus sayin . . . . . . .
Isn't Wade with Don Felder now?
I didn't think that was Will in the picture from Charlotte.
http://i579.photobucket.com/albums/s.../charlotte.jpg
He is or was, but keeping in mind I have no idea what I'm talking about, just guessing, I assumed that Wade was temporary because Reggie had previous commitments last May. I want to say that Glenn said something to that effect last May, but I can't remember for sure.Quote:

When I go to see Glenn Frey it's him I go to see. I like his band, but 'just as much as him'? Sorry; not in my case.Quote:

Well, Tom plays on the album (Al does appear though - he plays recorder on Caroline, No.
I had noted Al's absence before and tried to ask about it in May when we were talking to Michael Thompson, but no answer was forthcoming and I didn't want to pry.
I've caught up on my sleep from the trip, slept eleven hours last night! With a clearer head, it occurs to me that the likely reason he tended to sing and talk to the other half of the audience was that someone near the front on the other side (our side) was recording. Someone who buys a high-dollar membership plus pays for tickets might assume they have the right to record the entire thing.

Bummer!! And therefore everyone on the other side got the "cold shoulder", so to speak. :cry: Bet you're right tho. Was that person blatantly obvious about recording then?Quote:

When it does happen, of course, you feel like a million bucks - but again, it's not a regular thing at solo gigs.
You'll see him look out into the audience and make eye contact during Eagles gigs, but even that's often when someone else is in the spotlight and he's stepped back a bit. Perhaps this is because at his solo gigs, he might feel more exposed and vulnerable.
When he was performing, he took his typical stance at the mike, and closed his eyes while singing as per usual. I don't think he was trying to diss anyone.
