Eagles were awesome!

The Eagles were nothing short of awesome last night. I do believe the sound quality was a bit better in the Compaq center some 5 years ago when we last saw them. Last time we took all three of our kids and thoroughly enjoyed then too. All in all, the Assisted Living Tour they called it, these old boys have still got it. Nothing short of amazing. They started the first set with 4-5 songs from the new album and started the second set the same way from Long Road. No doubt of course the rest of the time was a variety of their stuff from back to 1972 till now, Hotel California, Life in the Fast Lane, Lyin Eyes, what they called their wives credit card song, you guessed "Take it to the Limit," you're right, along with 3 or4 of Joe Walsh's classic tunes, "Life's Been Good to Me So Far", "Walk Away" and then they encored with Take it Easy, and Don Henley singing Desperado solo.

After the encore the four of them stayed out on stage, walked to each side of the stage, stood there and smiled and waved for the crowd, like they truly enjoyed it and appreciated the enthusiastic crowd response. All in all they did almost 3 hours of songs. Said they were glad to be in Houston but, they were going to do the other show on Thursday and get the heck out of town before Ike! They'll be in Big D this weekend Sat & Sun. Might be the last hurrah for them touring. Hope not but not sure the quality they've come to expect will be with them much longer, voice wise.

One other thought though, there sure were a lot old people there last night. What's with that?

Oh yeah, for now we're staying put and watching to see what happens with Ike.

Life's been good to me so far,
