[Wino you know]

JUST GOT MY TICKET-SIX ROWS BACK, DEAD CENTER!!!!!!!!

[magnus & Mr Moon]

Great seats!!!!! We are going tomorrow in Greensboro - but are tix s*ck. Oh well - it should be fun!!!!!

[Wino you know]

You'll have a great time.
The last time I saw The Eagles was in 1978 in Sydney, Australia. (Their opening act was Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show).

Anyway, I could've gotten tickets to that concert in the nose bleed section 1/3 the price, but figured, what the hell, it's only money and it IS the Eagles, and it's a GREAT seat.
SO...........................................................................

[magnus & Mr Moon]

We will send a review - should be fun!!!

[Wino you know]

I'm pretty excited that I get to see them after over 30 years.

Be sure to let me know how the concert in Greensboro is. (As if I wouldn't be able to guess).

NOT THOSE EAGLES.

[gingerbreadman]

What a show! I imagine the show in March will very be similar.

9 songs from Long Road Out Of Eden. Woooo Hoooo!!!

But they did NOT play a few of the other good ones from that album, like Frail Grasp On The Big Picture, Last Good Time In Town and It's Your World Now.

Videoed the Band Intros, but only recognized the big four, Joe Walsh, Glenn Frey, Don Henley and Timothy B. Schmit. Steuart Smith (one of the co-producers of LROOE) also played guitar in the front with the rest of 'em.

If it's not listed what album it's originally from, then it's from Long Road Out Of Eden. Listed the albums for my benefit.

Thanks for the "stuff" gbman!

Here is a photo of Steuart Smith. He's a fascinating guitarist. I remember seeing him when he toured with Dar Williams. He also played with Rodney Crowell and the Cicadas and has played on several of Mac McAnally's albums.



Watch these with Rodney.




And with Shawn Colvin at Lilith Fair


OK, back to the Eagles. Wish I could make it to see them yet.

Oooooh...I'm originally from Moline.....if they still have tickets, maybe I should go....

Yes, you should go. We got our tickets a little late, and that's why we were on the side like that. It wasn't that bad at all, and I'm pretty sure they were cheaper than 6th row dead center!

Here's Desperado and them all waving their final goodbyes. We were right in front of the steps leaving the stage.

I'M SO EXCITED!

Janice just D.D.ed me from the Eagles concert.
(That's THREE D.D.s I've gotten this decade-on my way to a new record, I tell ya)!

JANICE:
Next time you D.D. me, make sure you're actually DRUNK, okay?

- well if they had any Land Shark or or other decent beer it might have made it easier to get drunk ....suffice to say I didn't even finish the beer we bought...

Great show - you will love it and the 6th row center tix - definately worth it!!!

[Big Phan]

gbman and m&MM...that looks like about the same angle to the stage we had in Toronto last summer! Price was right and it's all that was left one week before the show when we decided to go. However, in Toronto they exited the stage on the OTHER side.

It was such a great concert that part of Mr. BP's Christmas gift included tickets to see them again in Columbus.

Thanks for the great pics and thorough (as usual ) setlist!!!

[Johnny]

Are there any tickets left for this?? I woudl truck out there for that!

Yes, there are, Johnny.
Several scattered singles.
I just pulled one up for Section D, row 29, seat 9.



COME ON TO THE QUAD CITIES!
My God, it's the EAGLES!

[Tiki Torches]

What is the going rate for Eagles tickets these days, $250?

[Wino you know]

What is the going rate for Eagles tickets these days, $250?

To the venue I'm going to (see my previous post), seats in sections A, B, & C are $185.00.
Seats in sections D, E, & F are $165.00.
Seats in the red section are $85.00.
Seats in the yellow section are $58.00.

[gingerbreadman]

Ours was $140, including all the fees. Not bad!

In Greensboro, we were 4th row in the equivalent of Moline Section 101. Probably just a bit more expensive in NC?

Not bad? I had seats in the 10th row for Plant and Krauss over the summer that cost roughly $80 after service charges. That's what I'd consider "not bad".
