I was really impressed with there live performance.. they sounded excellent! it was funny when they talked about there minds wandering thinking bout other stuff while they performed... well I guess if you performed 30 years worth of Hotel Ca you could kinda go on auto piliot after the 10,000 time...

I was just watching some video from a recent live show on TV. Yeah they are certainly looking older ( aren't we all ) but still sounding great. Great players playing great songs.

Yeah... they sound very good. I own "Hell Freezes Over" DVD and it is the best one I have.
Now and then, my mind does the same during gigs. The auto-pilot works great and when I realize my mind is 'wandering' sometimes I don't kwow exactly what the songposition is...

I know, I watched that show on our New York channel 4 (NBC) last evening and was quite impressed. My band does the Eagles "Love will keep us alive" and I was humbled by their rendition. Absulutely astounding. I was gratified, however, to see how hard they still work at their craft with rehearsals, warm-ups, and the "Ring of Fire" as they called it when they all practice their harmonies with one acoustic guitar backstage prior to the show.

I myself have been working very, very hard tuning my craft, and it's rewarding when it starts paying off. It payed off for the Eagles. I did get a kick out of their logic behind the Farewell tour I. It's just a joke on everyone and they are not planning on retiring or breaking up the band. They plan on doing Farewell Tour II, III, IV, and on, and on, and on.....

I did not see that show, and unfortunately I was laid up when they appeared in Providence ... I am happy to hear this is not a "Good-bye" farewell tour ... I really want to catch them next time around ...

Joe Walsh was awesome!!

This post makes me madder than hell (at myself). I had planned on watching last night but forgot. I had it in the back of my mind but sometimes the back of my mind is too far away.

I wasn't a huge fan, but I saw them back on the Hotel California tour ( 78 or 79, I can't remember ). They put on a phenonmenal show back then too.

I just had to go see Don Henley back at the Woodstock ( Bethel ) 99 concert, since I live about 10 miles from the site. He was pretty danged good that day as well.

There is a DVD available of the performance last night...I taped it and will try to find info.

You're right...JOE WALSH RULES! He was playing a new Carvin custom guitar on several songs...impressive! It's obvious he has a really good time on stage.

The bass player-Timothy didn't show me much initially, but I guess he tries to be "invisible" and leave lots of room for that great harmony.

I kept thinking through Joe Walsh's performance last night, "Wow, this guy is a dynamite guitar player". I never realized how good a guitarist he really is. I was blown away.
