Don, and his band's, performance last evening was everyting I anticipated and more!
Non-stop guitar artistry and hit-after-hit-after hit. He threw in one Stevie Ray Vaughn, Pride and Joy, and received standing applause for it too! I believe Don used a different guitar for every song, bringing back only one (silver) once. Of course, he used the famous white 'twin neck' for Hotel California!
Have followed Don with the Eagles and ever since. His 2008 best seller, Heaven & Hell - My Life in the Eagles, provides unique insight into this wonderful musician's skills and temperament - a welcome balance to some of the other Eagle personalities..
I personally appreciated being able to see his show in a smaller venue (ninth row, center) vs. larger arena or stadium settings. Don is definitely an 'audience-friendly' entertainer. He shared the backgronds of many of the songs, laughed and genuinely appeared to be having a good time.
After closing Don remained on stage signing autographs and chatting until the last person received theirs (how often do we experience that with mega-stars today?). Again, typical Don Felder - VERY well received and much appreciated.
MS, TN and AR were treated to a wonderful show last night. Appeared all present knew it was a rare treat to catch one of his shows. Let's hope Don returns soon!
