Weirder than this tour-what is going on with Europeans gobbling up Britney Spears tickets?

Yeah, well that is just a neurotic negative irrational reaction to this world wide financial crisis thing going on... kind of like Americans stocking up on hundreds and hundreds of cans of Spam - same thing, different meat smiling smiley .......

I had never seen the Eagles until a few months ago in Chicago.... it was totally a last-minute decision. A friend wanted to go so another friend & I tagged along just for the experience. We ended up getting $210 seats for $140 from a ticket broker, since it was the day of the show. The show was good... not great, but good. I was glad we went.... Joe Walsh was the best part of the show. I wouldn't exactly call it boring by any means, but it's not even close to a Stones show (which I've seen at least 25-30 times). Is it worth it... if you like even some of their music and have never seen them before, I'd say go for it. If you can wait until the day of the show to pick up tix cheaper, even better!

Ok, I am not one that usually goes for corporate LA mellow rock. And was starved for good music in Singapore, so when they flew in I went. And it was a great show! Yeah, not a lot of "show" but just some great musicianship. And to be honest my favorite part of the show is when Joe Walsh did Funk #49, and Rocky Mountain Way!! That was fantastic.
Another high point is their great harmonies. They are spot on live.

Yeah SCL... (long pause)........ If it was 1975 !!! I saw them after they finished up the LONG RUN album and they were fine, don't know how they managed to NOT MOVE AN INCH but besides that.... Nowadays? Buy the DVD's and Henley Solo CD's is my advice - go to Pat Pong in Bangkok to see a good "Live" smiling smiley show....... different "set list" every night....

I`ve sen them live in Germany the last two times. As already said, perfect sound but truly without soul. But it was an expierience to see them. For me it`s not worth the money to see them again doing the same show they did the last time. If you wanna see them, wait for all the scalpers standing in front of the arenas selling tix for half the price :-)

This is their first "Farwell Tour". Before this one they were on the "See Ya Later Dude" Tour for a pretty long time then they did their year long "We Need To Get Going Because We Need To Wake Up Early Tomorrow To Feed The New Baby Twins" Tour and then before that one they rocked around the entire effing planet for 2 years on their "This Is It Man Cause We Are Now Even Boring Ourselves Silly" Tour which followed their "Listen Up Cause This Sh*t IS Getting Really Old" World Tour which they began a few weeks after they finished their "Hell Freezes Over" Tour about 20 years ago. All that touring and they have introduced 3 new songs and 2 crazy arrangements of past hits - man oh man, these guys mush be working on magical powers from some dark world or something - even Red Bull Power Drinks can't make all that magical musical sh*t happen on your own !!!

In which case, I must have seen them on their "We Need To Get Going Because We Need To Wake Up Early Tomorrow To Feed The New Baby Twins" tour, and I have to confess that it was a strange, eerie experience, even for an owl.

...they couldn't have lacked any more warmth had they sent along a hologram of themselves.

Oh yeah Barn Owl, that was an especially good tour, Henley switched from a black to a brown leather coat and HOTEL CALIFORNIA went from opening number to second encore .... all those heavy changes really threw me off, had kind of a "panic attack" or something wacky thrown into my nervous system with the room spinning and stuff - nervous breakdown maybe??..... eventually did recover though, nuthin'stops Helter from Rockin' and a Rollin'!! smiling smiley

I saw them live once with Don Felder. Really a great show. Mostly as noted in the posts above.
I just finished reading Felder's book, "Heaven and Hell."
Personally, now I'll never send Henley or Frey another dollar of my hard earned money.

When you've never seen them, than I would go if I would be you.

I saw them in 1996 as a 5-piece band. They were really fantastic.

The book is OK.
From what I understand, most of the true dirt on the early songwriting, ie Hotel California, and the results of the latest lawsuits were blocked by the threat of more lawsuits from the Henley/Frey camp.

It is another story of a guy that should have been at the top of the world, but success is not always what it's cracked up to be.

One cool tidbit I learned is that Felder was Tom Petty's guitar teacher!

Going to see The Eagles is like buying shark fin soup in some Asian restaurant - it just encourages them to continue to do a bad thing.
