Eagles Concert

So the Eagles concert was AWESOME last night. They played for almost three hours. Which is way different from most of the concerts I've been to, where opening acts play for the first two hours and then if you're lucky you get maybe an hour of the main draw. There was no crappy opening act. There were, however, a bunch of drunk middle-aged white people in the audience...haha.

They played a lot from their new album, most of which I didn't know, but then pretty much all of their old school hits as well as some hits from the band members who had solo careers. All four of them sang lead vocals on at least one song and played at least two different instruments. And they all sounded just as good as when you hear them on the radio. Again, this was super different than most concerts, where you're lucky if you're hearing actual singing live, and they have all sorts of special effects to detract from the fact that the artist doesn't sound as good live. I'll trade in the smoke and pyrotechnics any day to hear good music. These guys just stood there and played their music, and it was fabulous.

Not taking away from the situation was the fact that we had luxury box seats, which come with free food and booze. The last concert I went to see at the arena was Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban, and I had second deck seats...and the two adolescent girls behind me were having a "who can screech at the top of their lungs louder and longer" contest right in my ear. It was horrible. The concert was decent, but the experience was awful. I think I need to luxury box it from now on. I shouldn't have to sit with the peons. ;)

Next up: hopefully Billy Joel and Elton John, if we can wrangle some tickets for that. Apparently I really like the same music as most 50-year olds. Haha.
