I saw Glenn Frey solo once when he was riding his wave of popularity due to Miami Vice. Very boring show. That said, I feel no need, no pull, no anything to go see a full on Eagles show. In my opinion, Henley is the talent there. Frey's lucky he

Quotemtaylor Springsteen has really become a Las Vegas act - how many people on stage now, some 20 musicians? Yeah, because a lot of people on stage means Vegas! One of the purest rock and roll acts out there!

Quotetrainarollin The sound is bad because there are 16 or so people playing every instrument known to man very loud in a stadium. I saw him last year in a 15,000 seater and sounded awful to the human ear, however, listening to a recording of the show later it sounded better. The sound at the shows I saw on this tour was excellent. Both arenas and stadiums.

Thinking of getting Eagle tickets for MSG in November and the seats are on the side of the stage closer to the rear. Has anyone seen their show this year? If so can you tell me if it is an open stage? Just wondering if there is a restricted view from the side? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
