    Mr. Schmit redeemed himself somewhat on I Can't Tell You Why, but both times he sang in the opening stanza — and this is probably more indicative of the dated sound of the two songs — one almost expected a slo-mo montage from Love Story to appear on the three big-screens behind and beside the stage.

    Walsh's high-pitched, nasally voice worked better on tracks like Life Is Good, but he remains much more enjoyable to listen to on guitar.

    One of the highlights of the second set was Henley's Dirty Laundry, just another song in a lengthy list showcasing his stellar songwriting skills. And still as timely as ever too.

    So can there be too much Eagles? Probably. But you can't fault a band for over-delivering.

    Are you kidding me? At least get the flippin' titles of the songs right! So glad Henley was there to save the day once again!
    He sings it high, he plays it low

    It means the guy can't write. LOL! What I mean is it doesn't make sense. Of course TBS sang the opening stanzas and the verse and the chorus. It's his song. What a dimwit.

    He obviously doesn't like "silly love songs" or TBS for that matter. But as McCartney replied and I too reply, "...what's wrong with that, I'd like to know?"

    And, the crack about his hair was just all wrong.

    Oh, those are fightin' words, Mister Reporter! Don't worry, Timmy, fellow Borderers and I have your back!! Obviously this guy is just jealous of the way TBS probably had every woman in the arena swooning.

    This is a very rare reviewer that dislikes Timothy's vocals... which are always spot on!

    Follow Borders... can there be too much Ealges? I don't think so!
