The concert was supberb. Although we love the Eagles, it was like a combination of the best of the Eagles and the best of Henley in one show. It was great to see him in his glory. We love the way he does not change the presentation of the music when performing live. We want to hear the music the way we remember it from the original recordings. This is what memories are made from. We ould rate this concert on a scale of 1-10 as a 12. Our only dissapointment is that Henley does not perform our favorite song "Best of my love" anymore. We just attended the Eagles concert less than 3 months before and it was still great to see Don out on his own.

Don Henley was superb! Still has a great voice after all these years. Well worth seeing I would give the show itself 8 out 10

Favorite moment: New York Minute was superb and Don's between songs banter was humourous and entertaining. @
Setlist: The show started with One Of These Nights, the Eagles classic, followed by one of my favorite solo songs, Everything is Different Now. All other expected songs were included along with a couple of surprises, Precious Days? a 1938 oldie redone... and a few other surprise cover versions including Everybody Wants To Rule The World (Tears for Fears) @
Opening act(s): somebody and the strait jackets... a little too low-key I think which left the warming up of the crowd to Mr. Henley @

The crowd was small and mostly baby boomers. At 42, I was on the young side. Then again, Henley is 62 now so, the age demographic is no surprise... When I say small, it was shockingly small.... perhaps 3500 tops, but that didn't stop Henley from giving his all and it certainly didn't stop the crowd from showing an animated appreciation. Maybe the recession has dampened people's concert budgets, because Don is always a pleasure to see for anyone who can afford it. Don's voice faltered here and there in the early parts of the show attributed to seasonal maladies, but unlike other singers who generally go downhill after a few voice cracks, Mr. Henley just got better and better. Near the end of the set, those high-noted Boys of Summer choruses were all hit with classic Don Henley ease. He passed on the Reggae version of Hotel California as has been popular in recent tours and instead delivered a perfect rendition matching the studio classic we all know and love. The musicianship was unparalleled with both guitarists deliving spot-on performances of all the classic solos. The fretless bass work was astounding... Great piano and keyboards... to beautiful and talented backup singers... and a grooving drummer completed the act. Two encores... It was great.
