Glenn Frey in small theater with 2 for 1 priced tickets , great seats in mezzanine.....outstanding songs, old and new! Truly an unforgetable show....I am a dedicated Eagles fan so what a treat this was as most venues are so much larger and of course the ticket prices are also much larger! Bergen Pac is a favorite of mine, size and location!
Glenn Frey is an incredible talent...and he did not disappoint, considering the age of this classic rocker. I figured going in that he would be promoting some sort of new album, but I hat no idea that he would be singing his new music for about half of the concert time. Actually, it wasn't 'new' music, it was more like 40's and 50's music that is a recreation of songs from some of his favorite artist of generations long since passed. I tried to keep my exceptions low and did not expect that he would be singing all tunes from the Eagles and I also knew that he would be mixing in some of his Miami Vice tunes, but I came away feeling a little disappointed . To Glenn's credit,he took the time to introduce almost all of the songs and to connect with the audience which was borderline geriatric. It was also very apparent that he is truly passionate about his music and of that music of an era that is essentially forgotten by most people. I can tell that I was not the only one expecting more Eagles tunes based on the number of people that got up and left during the show. Bottom line...I'm glad I went (he did sing the Eagles tunes really well), but I will look forward to seeing Don Henley or Joe Walsh instead.
Glenn Frey & entire band performed great! Nice mature stage presence.
Concert not bad....except for his new stuff. Sound system at Sands Event Center poor and needs fixing. Had to change seats to get decent audio.
great renditions of old songs; Eagles songs were awsome- just wished he could have done more!
While I'm a huge Glenn Frey and Eagles fan I didn't particularly like the new music and probably wouldn't attend again. If Glenn ever plays his old Eagles and solo music I would definately be there again. I've seen all the Eagles individually and as a group numerous times and love them all. Just didn't care for this setlist.
Superb venue....almost as nice as the beacon theatre! Some old stuff some new stuff and a big chunk of The Eagles....he's still got it!
Great show. Though it seems to be a matter of course that every artist needs to support a new album, as was the case with Frey, he still pulled off a great event. He played a few Eagles songs, most of his own hits from the early eighties and played most? of the new album. A few fans were sure to be disappointed, since the new album consisted of old standards (Shadow of Your Smile and The Look of Love were two of those). He pulled it off quite well and ended with two encores.
Well planned mix of classics and new material. Engaged the audience throughout the show. Voice sounded good. New material was well done. Older classics were well played and his band did not disappoint. Encores were generous.
I have flown all over the country to go to Eagle concerts. I have seen Walsh and Henley several times on their solo dates and i must say i was looking forward to seeing Frey since i believe he is one of the best song writers/collaborators around but to say i was dissapointed in the show at the Sands in Bethlehem,PA would be an understatement. As like the other shows he started out with some classics and then played pretty much the whole after hours album. Now i must admit that when i bought the tickets i did not know and it was not plugged as the "After Hours Tour". I found this out the night of the show. Frey's vocals were strong and the band was tight but the sound/reverb/echo was terrible all night at the Sands. I sat in the 1st row and heard the echo of the drums a half a beat late all night. This i don't believe is Glenn Frey's problem but it did add to the total disappointment of the night. On another note, Desperado only should be sung by Henley! Period! Come on Glenn get back to writing rock ballads to which you are the best in the biz!
The Glenn Frey show was memorable. His voice was good, did a lot of old Eagles hits and enjoyed his singing of old standards. As for the new Sands Event Center, it has no style and the acoustics were very poor. Lot of echoing of the drums. I don't understand how a brand new venue in a classy hotel/casino could have been constructed with no thought to style or sound. Very disappointing on that end.
The soothing sounds of Glenn Frey's melodic voice was good to hear. He did great old songs and mixed in some of his new classic's. What wasn't enjoyable was the Sands Event Center. We felt as if we were in a high school gym. Flat seatting on folding chairs. The acoustics were terrible. This is a brand spanking new building. What were they thinking? So glad we had 8th row seats because anything beyond the 10th row all you would see is the guy in front of yous head. AND NO BATHROOMS? You must exit the center go into the casino for restrooms and then head back through security to re-enter the venue. All this for $125 a ticket? Fool me once sham on you, I'm doubtful I will return at that price.
Glen is backed with some amazing musicians (no not henley and walsh) but one hell of a show in small venues. he did some arrangement changes on eagle classics. this is not to be missed and he will croon on some classics and then bring you back to the 70's. Absolutely great show!!!
The new album material was very good and the Eagle's songs were Great.
If you want to listen to 1950's Tony Bennet/ Nat King Cole music go see this. 2/3 of show covered these types of songs. Literally. Classic songs from the 1950's. Disappointing.
I read a few of the earlier reviews that raved about the show. After seeing it I wondered if I was watching the same performance. The Eagles hits were fine but the new material was an absolute snore-fest and the dumbing down of "The Heat is On" to match to slow nature of the new material was really disappointing. Overall, I was unimpressed with the show and wouldn't recommend spending the money unless you like the new cd and are ready to listen to 8 cuts from it.
Having only seen The Eagles half a dozen times (!) I insisted my wife attend - it was great to see one of the creative forces of this giant band doing his solo album promotion. A great mix of classics from the main career, plus some charmingly arranged American classics from the new recordings. A genuine performer, a funny man and a professional through and through who I really believe is enjoying these retirement plan events, as he refers to them. His solo efforts get better with time an it was fun to hear The Heat Is On with a jazz adaptation. He was doing his bit for his daughter's NYU alumni by having them play strings, so clearly a Dad in touch helping his family and friends out through these tough economic times. His daughter must be getting some credibility for that. Great value, great fun I would go every night if he played a week in the city. Looking forward to seeing Th eEagles when they go back out on the road to celebrate their - interrupted - 40 years soon
I think he's one of the great American songwriters of the rock and roll era. He assembled a fabulous band that put on a totally professional show. However, I as much as I love Glenn's music and always will, he spent too much of the show doing songs from the new album of cover songs (which no one in the audience cared for), but more importantly, he just couldn't hit the notes in his own songs. This probably doesn't show as much performing with the Eagles, but with all due (tremendous) respect and admiration, the time has come to retire as a solo performer.
Show was great but Sands event center should have video screens.
Show was great, there was an annoying reverberation from the rear of the buildingz.
