As for Don chastising those people... Eek! If he directed something like that at me during a concert, I'd probably cry! (Note to self: sit down when they sit down, stand up when they stand up...)

When I went to OKC last summer to see Don solo, I had third row seats, the closest I had ever been, so I was trying to take a lot of pictures. A good number of other people were taking pictures too. The stage was pretty high and I was to the left, so I wasn't right in his line of vision. Anyway, somewhere about the 4th or 5th song, he says, "A couple of pictures per song is okay, but some of you are trying to turn this into your own personal photo session. Please stop--it is distracting." I immediately blushed and put my camera away. He did it in as nice a way as possible and I knew he was talking to everyone, not just me, but still I was embarassed. Later on Soda sent me a bootleg of that very performance, which was very special to me because he sang a new, slower version of End of the Innocence that just blew everyone away. Anyway, when I heard that camera comment again, I still felt like he was talking directly to me!

I never stand if I'm the only one though. I think standing at concerts should be a group thing. One person standing alone looks weird. If you can get the people around ya to stand, that works fine, but just you and a cople other people doesn't cut it.

I kind of agree, but then there's that gray middle area between nobody standing and everybody standing. I usually will stand if I see other people in the section standing, even if they're not near me. Many times I'd be the only one in my particular few rows standing, but maybe 4 rows ahead, a few other people would be standing...

I've been at concerts where the majority of the floor NEVER sat down, not even for slow songs, so the tempo alone isn't a determinant as Don implied. That said, I do feel silly standing during a slow song if no one else around me is. I remember I was torn about TITTL - it starts slow and the people around me weren't standing, but it was my favorite song and I knew it would eventually get to the fist-waving part! So I stood, and before long, the people around me were standing too. So you never know.

Wanted to add something to the review. During encore breaks kids were waving their cell phones instead of lighters. HAHA!

I did that too.

OMG, Maleah, your pictures are just wonderful! All of the guys just look gorgeous! What a great job you did and how nice of Glenn to actually relent and allow pictures. I still don't understand why he allows it at some shows and not at others though. I was so disappointed at St. Louis.

Yours and Soda's reviews were fantastic! I don't know how you can remember all those details either. Great job, both of you.

And I LOVED your t-shirt! You are so clever and talented!

Wonderful photos Maleah.

Thanks for posting these beautiful ones of the lovely Will Hollis. I'm in 'Hollis Heaven' now! Although I'm already having Eagles Withdrawal since seeing them in Houston & Dallas.

Maleah--You just made me cry like a baby!! Thank you so much for letting me relive my wonderful night thru your pictures again. I hope you don't mind, but I want to download them all onto my computer in their own special folder named Eagles Chicago 9-24-08 to keep forever!!! Thanks again!!! You made my morning!

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply that I knew for sure it would be their last tour. They made no such announcement. I sure hope it's not... but let's face it, it's a real possibility.

I definitely do not think this will be their last tour. Everything I've heard indicates that they like the money and the release they get when performing. From what I've heard, "yes" they feel the stresses, but "that is what they DO." I think they LOVE IT. The performing I mean.

As for another CD....I think all of them have left the door cracked so that the possibility is there, but the likelihood is very slim that they will record another. I recall things to that effect that Don and Joe have both said in interviews.

But do not be at all surprised if they continue touring for 15 years on this tour <LOL> There is precedent (1994 through 2007 basically on the same tour!) Heck, they are ONLY 60 now. That's YOUNG! I speak from experience <smile>.

Maleah, I have to say that is the best set of Eagles photos I have ever seen. Thank you, girl, you rock!! Your camera is first class, and we are all reaping the benefits.
I tried to post my favourite, which is Glenn doing a high five with Will in the background. I've already taken a couple off for desktops. Superb!!!

Maleah, I put the photos on my ipod and took them to work to show everyone. They were all very impressed with the quality you got.

Thanks again!
