The music was good, but not what I expected from someone I saw with the Eagles 2 years ago. I found it pretty slow and boring. My dad (89 years old) would have loved every minute, and I would have enjoyed taking him.
First off, I like Glenn and his sense of humor.... never get tired of hearing him refer to his first wife... "Plaintiff"... :-( The old Eagle's stuff was good to hear but he performed way too many of his new "old" songs and Glenn just could not cover the classic crooners w/o an experienced recording engineer at the sound board. A couple of the "classics" would have been ok, but he over-did it and was more into "his" favorite songs than in tune with his fans interest. Many people got up for a drink at the bar.... and ended up staying there until he returned to his early material. Tkts should'a reflected the fact that half the show would be a bust... :-(
Glenn Frey transported his fans at Town Hall to a nostalgic time in music and won them over with his fondness and passion for it. It was a pleasure to see Glenn Frey perform. He sang songs from his new CD - After Hours. He rocked some classic songs like "The Shadow of Your Smile", "Route 66", and The Beach Boys' "Caroline No". And to keep with the atmosphere, Glenn sang "The Heat Is On" and "Smuggler's Blues" channeling Tony Bennett to the delight of the audience. Some Eagles favorites were sang as well as other Frey hits. My favorite was hearing "The One You Love"- just heaven. A great show covering many eras in music-a must see.
Did not know what to expect. Band was excellent. Glenn in good humor and great voice. Totally love the new album. He mixed it well with other of his solo work and some Eagle. But only Don Henley can do Desperado... Could not have asked for a better show. Great venue...
Show was good but on two of my favorite songs I was a little disappointed. On the song Smugglers Blues, Glenn slowed it down to sort of a jazzy blues number and I hate when artist change one of their best songs. On You Belong to the City, Glenn's age started to show because he couldn't hit the high notes. I'd rather have him try and miss the high notes rather just lower the key like he did. The last part of the show was great where Frey performed a string of Eagle songs and did them well.
this was a big waste of $200.00. he had no energy and appeared to be ill. he was singing songs like " the shadow of your smile and about 6 others from his new godawful cd. I have always been a big fan of glenn frey and have seen him live on many occasions with and without the eagles so you can imagine the disappointment to see a show with little or no effort to exhibit some life. it was like watching his lounge singer clone on the stage. he even managed to ruin "the heat is on" by slowing it down and playing it as a blues song. if i could give him less than 1 star i would. we left in the middle of the performance. save your money, you are only in for a huge letdown. i have spent my last dollar on glenn frey. it also appeared that he was having trouble playing the guitar which he did sparingly.
Glenn still has all the right stuff. New stuff is great. And of course his classic eagles and solo stuff is always a blast. He didnt dissappoint. Show was over too fast. Would go see him again in a heartbeat.
Totally FABULOUS concert! First time I've seen Glenn Frye in person, and won't be the last.
...he performed too many songs from his new album, After Hours. It is a collection of love songs plus Route 66 and the material was not his forte. He opened strong with 3 Eagles songs including" Peaceful. Easy Feeling" and "Tequila Sunrise" then launched into his new efforts. With the exception of a haunting song ("Same Girl") written by Randy Newman, the songs from the new album had the crowd restless and some people were leaving. Once sanity returned, so did the non-sellout crowd's enthusiasm. Except for an ill conceived jazz arrangement of "The Heat Is On", the second half of the show (no intermission) was strong and he ended with 2 encores (2 songs each). The band was excellent and Glenn's voice was outstanding - especially on songs like "Desperado", "Take It To The Limit", and "Take It Easy" Sorry, Glenn, I appreciate your desire to explore a new music genre, but love songs are not your strength. .
Starting with Eagles songs..Peaceful Easy Feeling, Tequilla Sunrise, Cheating side of town, Glenn got the crowd going strong. A few songs from the new album and some solo hits from the past were very enjoyable. Then, he finished with Eagles Greatest Hits which he helped write with Done Henley....Desperado and Take It Easy made the night an amazing show. I highly recommend it to any Eagles fan...you'll love it as we did. Thanks Glenn Frey for a great night.
