Newbie from Jacksonville, FL

Hi! My name is Robin and I've been a DIE-HARD Eagles fan since the mid 70's... IMHO, NO other band has ever compared to these guys!!! I've been head over heels in love w/ Don Henley since I was a teen! His voice really sends chills down my spine! *sigh* I've seen Henley do a solo show in Biloxi w/ my mom right before Hurricane Katrina destroyed that city and I'll never forget how good he was that night! I guess Don Felder was my 2nd love, he was just such an awesome lead guitarist IMO, but I also absolutely adore Timothy and Joe! I've only been able to see them all (minus Felder) in concert one time, at the Hard Rock Theme Park grand opening in Myrtle Beach S.C. last year. And although it wasn't exactly a Full show, they were absolutely awesome!!! My hubby bought me 2 tix for my B-day to the upcoming show here in Jacksonville on 1-28 - Section 3 Floor seats on the 8th row! I'm really looking forward to finally seeing them do a full 3 hr. show next Wednesday!!! I know that filming videos is an absolute No-No at all of their shows for some reason, but I'm really hoping that they'll allow cameras? The security guys kept telling us that no pics were even allowed at the one show I went to at the HR Theme Park, but they had a pretty hard time enforcing that rule there since it was a theme park, so I did at least manage to get a few decent pics during the show there. Anyways, I've got an awesome non-professional Panasonic Lumix w/ 40X zoom that takes pretty amazing concert pics, so I'm really hoping I can bring it and get some great shots of the guys up close this time! Also, just wondering if anyone has any tips and/or advice on getting autographs either before or after the show? I got to shake Joe's hand after he got off the LITFL roller coaster in Myrtle Beach, and he really seemed to be such a very nice guy! Well, I guess that's all I've got for now, LOL!

Welcome Robin, I am Elisa, aka EL. You will love it here I am a Don fan too, but I love all of the guys equally.

Hi El! Thanks for the warm welcome! You can just call me Jags if you like - that's what everyone calls me at other forums that I post at. While I am kinda partial to Don, I really do love all of the other guys, too!

Hello Jags and welcome! I got to see our boys last Sept. in Chicago - great, great show. And although the tickets say no cameras, and you may be searched and sent away if you have a camera, the band themselves have been allowing pictures. So just be sure you can stuff that camera way down at the bottom of a bag and you should be fine! To see some great photos that Maleah, another Borderer, got at my show, see Concert reviews - Chicago.

Welcome, Jags! Glad you could join us!

I went to that Myrtle Beach show, too. Too bad the park is already closed down! If you'd like to post the photos you took, that would be great! How cool that you got to shake Joe's hand! I'm afraid it's quite rare to get the guys' autographs before or after a show, unfortunately.

If you're camera's a really nice one, you'll have to be extra-discreet while taking photos. One time I was sitting next to a person with a professional-style camera, and while they ignored the people snapping away with cheaper ones, they asked her to stop.
