    In other words, you hear again and again and make yet further. And so, the Eagles again on Friday evening in the indoor stadium to nine musicians on stage and their lawyers and accountants backstage support. It contributes guitar, a suit and tie.


    Delights of the well sound

    As expected, the weathered quartet from Los Angeles, what is career since before Almost forty years at best, which he also sold millions of records has introduced: it gives people exactly what they want to hear. Namely aerodynamically honed songs about durchgeföhnte Desperados, time lupene car rides, sad men and beautiful women, sun without end, and the vast land America in all its myths and stereotypes. This set takes the audience appreciated it and lift rocks with the band and their crew in the delights of well sound.

    Classics like "The Long Run", "Witchy Woman," of course "Hotel California" or Don Henleys excellent solo piece "Dirty Laundry" alternate with excerpts from the last double album. The new tracks do not sound much different than the old ones, but are not from embarrassment. The cover version of "How Long", for example, where as the opening piece, closes easily to earlier successes at.

    Music without abdominal

    The Eagles play a music without abdomen, and their texts landing partly beyond the self-parody. But as the four Americans to perform the whole, remains untarnished: rich set of vocals, beautiful guitar solos played out, precise breaks, and the safe feeling with the songs to stop before the boredom of it all too similar deadline. Better can not be good.

    Ouch! Shallow? How can I Can't Tell You Why be shallow? He sings it so well... and perfectly might I add. I'm wondering if by "shallow" he means mellow? (wishful thinking, I know) At least he liked his bass playing.
