Props to MuseCafeChris........limousine liberal........I like that. Mind if I use it? ;-)

Go for it. I certainly can't claim credit for coming up with it.

The bass player is timothy b schmidt - has been since Hotel Cali.

The other guitarist was a studio guy from LA, did felders parts note for note.

I saw the show last friday - was a little dismayed that walsh didn't play a little more guitar.

Also not to defend the ticket price but they did have a 4 piece horn section at least 1 if not 2 other drummers, and 2 keyboard players.

Obviously the $$ isn't spent on a stage show or pyrotechnics

and on pricing I'm firmly w/ Stike ( is he ever wrong? LOL )

Let's compare cholestorol levels and waistlines, I'm wrong

Oh yeah I'd pay a hunnert buxx to see Randy Miesner(Sp?).

I saw the Eagles in 1994 at Tiger Stadium in Detroit. Tickets were less than $100, but not by much. Great show, all of the Eagles hits and all of the well known solo songs by Henley, Frey, and Walsh. Felder was there too. I never realzied how good a player he was until then. At first I thought Walsh wasn't there because he has short platinum blonde hair and I didn't recognize him!

The Black Crowes are playing on Carb Day in Indianapolis. I was thinking about going. I don't care about the "hits". They didn't really play them when I saw them on the "Southern Harmony" tour either. What I want to hear is the whole second album - Sting Me, Remedy, Sometimes Salvation, etc.

+1

He was the hired gun for Shawn Colvin's Fat City tour and he could play guitar like I breathe. Bastard probably can sing like a bird.

In college we had one suite mate that came to school with his entire record collection... Bob Seger Live and Eagles Live. That damn hayseed played it every weekend back-to-back for hours. Fricken torture. I had no idea the Eagles could have such an effect on 7 other people, unified to the point of absolute hatred. I almost wrote a Psych paper on it's effect. The Clockwork Eagles, if you will. Our suite catchphrase.

I saw the Eagles last night,

They were a terrible sight.

They said "Jingle Bells",

I said "go to hell"

I feel better now,

Steve

For your sake I hope it was "Live Bullet" and not "Nine Tonight."

I'm off the computer for a day and lookie what happens to my nice eagles thread. Some random hung over thoughts (BLS last night)

1) SS can play his ass off. Simply terriffic.

2) Mike - Joe Walsh did have blond hair, I couldn't figure it out until 3 songs later when I saw his face on the big screen.

3) I wouldn't pay $100 to see the crowes, they happen to be my wife's favorite band, so I went. Yes,they have plenty of hits. Jamming is fine, but not when you haven't toured in 4 freaking years, play 4-5 hits. It's not asking too much for an hour and a half set, which incidentally, cut your opener short and play two hours if you want to jam. Fuckers.

4) Eagles tix - $88 each, + ticketraper fees = over $100 per tix, $6.50 a beer, $6.75 to park. Three of us went. My ass still hurts.

5) Buck up, or don't see the eagles. I was too young or not born in thier hayday, this is how I have to do it or I never get to see them. I never went to see the Who at MSG because they ironically lost page/crowes as the opener due to illness of page, so I returned my $110 ticket. Entwhisle dies a year or so later.

6) The dueling guitar solos were magnificent. I can't say enough good things about that show.

Later and peace out!
