All four can sing brilliantly and all four are talented musicians. Your word ‘unforgettable’ is a good one that also describes our experience last week in Birmingham. I hope they keep on coming back over here – they are very popular in Britain. I love all four of them but I have to say Henley is my favourite because of his total irreverence with Walsh a close second beaus he is such a lovable eccentric.Trevor Gayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01148705981847576706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9533912.post-56118972868081729782009-07-15T18:16:50.841+01:002009-07-15T18:16:50.841+01:00Trevor: Saw them earlier this year in San Antonio...Trevor: Saw them earlier this year in San Antonio.

Quite the opposite of course of early Eagles casual dress!<br /><br />In the second half of the concert the jackets come off and ties are loosened or removed.Trevor Gayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01148705981847576706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9533912.post-20790822412467368122009-07-09T22:02:53.578+01:002009-07-09T22:02:53.578+01:00Hi John - you would expect nothing less from me :-...Hi John - you would expect nothing less from me :-)<br /><br />Actually the consensus of opinion in local press reviews is that this was superb entertainment from a band that seems to mature with age.<br /><br />They played “Funk 49” in the concert and Walsh was amazing – performing some guitar duets with Steuart Smith who most regard now as the fifth Eagle.Trevor Gayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01148705981847576706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9533912.post-38814316982695640002009-07-09T13:10:11.474+01:002009-07-09T13:10:11.474+01:00Was their Royalty in attendance at this concert?

If I didn't know who they were and just saw the photos, I'd be thinking they were a group that plays jazz or "big band" tunes.<br /><br />Fascinating.Dan Gunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08558728437011171686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9533912.post-4946217361261977932009-07-09T02:41:20.670+01:002009-07-09T02:41:20.670+01:00Hey Trevor, we knew we could count on you for an o...Hey Trevor, we knew we could count on you for an objective review of the Eagles! :-) <br /><br />Hey, have you checked out Joe Walsh's first major band, the James Gang, from the early 1970s? Their quasi hit was "Funk 49." It has one of all-time GREAT guitar riffs.
