Cool Va. Love vince gill such a humble and talented guy
Great! Thanks VA. Gotta wonder how many celebs are walking around backstage with one of those things around their neck. ;-)
Wow, I wouldn't have recognized Vince Gill without Joe's caption. He looks a bit rough!
Hillary Scott of Lady Antebellum is also at the concert. She tweeted a photo taken from her seat and is obviously a big fan:

That's so cool! But secretly...deep down...aren't you thinking how much better your seats were in Memphis than hers are? Lol!Quote:

Yep. Heck, one of the people tweeting her excitement during the concert was Leslie Fram, VP of Music Strategy for CMT. I wonder if she'll be told to stop texting and put her cell phone away? ;)Quote:

A USA Today correspondent who is there just tweeted that the drummer for Poco, George Lawrence, is in the audience.
(I'm following this show on Twitter since I couldn't be there and I'm torturing myself! lol)
Rick will have to tell us how many celebrities he saw!
Joe just tweeted at "halftime" as he called it that Roy Orbison Jr. was backstage with him. He called him his "adopted nephew."
Joe Don Rooney of Rascal Flatts is at the show tonight. Joe Don is the blonde one. He's not the lead singer. I think he plays. Crap. I forgot what instrument he plays.
Steve Warner tweeted on Twitter that he wished he had gone.
I think there were a lot of country singers at the concert tonight, but the question is who.
Just saw that Reba McEntire was spotted.
The Tennessean has already posted photos!

Wow, I'm glad I didn't go to Nashville cause I might have spent the whole concert scoping out the other celebs & missed our guys!:lie:
It would be funny. That you're just seeing there and you notice you are sitting next Vince or Joe Don or Hillary. What do you do? LOL Well when you're in the country music capital of the world, you never know who you are sitting next too.
Glenn is in blue again- LOVE IT!!!
Amusing tweet:
"I thought Glenn wrote this song, then he told me I did." - Joe Walsh (introducing 'Life's Been Good' during the Eagles concert tonight)
:hilarious: I just laughed out loud at that one! LOVE IT!!!!!Quote:

Very cool that the country stars are there! I never thought about it, but of course they are! Lots of them have said the Eagles were some of their inspiration!
It would have been cool to be there, but I would have been like HB and missed a lot of the concert looking for country stars!
Sounds like a great gig! Thanks for posting the pics Soda. Glenn :heart: looks great in the blue shirt.

Great review, but if they had checked in to it they would have known that it wasn't a surprise that Bernie was with them! :laugh:
Yeah. Isn't it amazing that they haven't heard about it before? I mean, we all knew before the tour began but now, how many dates have they played and they're still surprised!

Yeah - it is rather shocking that Bernie is considered a surprise guest, especially in Nashville - you'd think they would be in the know. :doh:
But, overall, it is a pretty good review. And like the writer, I have to also respectfully disagree with Glenn's remarks about the Beach Boys being pioneers and the Eagles just being settlers. I know he's trying to be self-deprecating, but I wish he would drop the line. Many people, including myself, boo in disagreement everytime he says it cause it just ain't so, IMHO.
He said that in Australia. He meant the Beach Boys paved the way for the Eagles & other California rock bands as opposed to country rock bands. I have no problem with that because in my opinion it is the truth. It is not 'just' being settlers (even if he used the word 'just'). The Eagles built strong foundations on the path the Beach Boys had laid down, and pioneered country rock, although some would argue the Byrds were the real pioneers here. I honestly don't think saying the Beach Boys were first is being self-deprecating.Quote:

FP, thanks for the explanation, but I think I understand what Glenn meant … I just don’t happen to agree with it. However, I’m not sure I understand your post – it sounds like you believe an artist can’t have multiple influences and can’t be a pioneer in their own right if they were influenced by another ground-breaking artist, which I can’t agree with. In the case of the Eagles, they were influenced by many artists including Elvis, The Beatles, the Beach Boys, and the Byrds, all of who were pioneers in various ways. Even though the Eagles may not have been the first to perform the genre, I happen to believe that they were pioneers in popularizing and perfecting the country rock sound in much the same way that the Beach Boys were pioneers of California surf music.Quote:

That has to do with country rock & sort of got buried in the rest of the post. I believe that Glenn's main point about the Beach Boys was that they were the pioneers of California rock generally.Quote:

Of course there were a lot of bands that sang with harmonies, but in the documentary, Glenn was pretty emphatic that the Beach Boys were a huge inspiration to him to sing in 'harmony bands' (or words to that effect). Given that, it's no wonder he felt the Beach Boys paved the way, so to speak.Quote:

I've never really agreed with the word 'settler' when speaking of these people, but given what they did, I have to agree with Glenn. The Eagles may not have been the first ones there, but they're the ones who defined it and made it theirs.
There are some more pictures from Nashville.
