Sooo, one of my guy friends (whom i'm pretty sure wants to be my boyfriend) knows how much I love the Eagles. Thus, he bought me Don Henley tickets for next week.

Anybody seen Henley solo live? Any good? Bad? Should I get my hopes up, or expect a snooze fest?

I know a lot of people saw him when he toured with Stevie a few years back, so thought someone could give me a preview...

How fun!!!!!!

Never been to a Don solo show, but I bet you're in for a treat.

I would try lookin' around Eagles fan boards as to try to see what to expect... have fun though!

Thanks

I hope he plays some of his stuff with the Eagles. Some of his solo stuff is a little poppy for me (Boys of Summer, Dirty Laundry)... But it should be fun! Small venue too!

I saw him solo and it was boring. Plus I was with someone I didn't really like all that much, but he didn't interact with the audience at all, and didn't move around. I saw him with Stevie and have a dvd of the show and there is just such a difference in the energy level between the two shows. If you really like his music, then you won't care, but if you kind of like his stuff you won't become a bigger fan after seeing him live.

I've heard "New York Minute" live lasts ten. *snooze*

Crap, these are the things I was worried about... Oh well, there are worst ways to spend a Thursday night.

Go here and study up, Luke!
There are better things out there than the standard three and a half minute radio single.

Anyways, here's a review + set list of Wednesday night's show:

Set list:
I Put a Spell on You
One of These Nights
September Song
New York Minute
Last Worthless Evening
It Don't Matter to the Sun
End of the Innocence
My Thanksgiving
The Heart of the Matter
Dirty Laundry
Boys of Summer
All She Wants to do is Dance
Life in the Fast Lane

Desperado (encore)

Sounds like you'll at least enjoy the Eagles songs even if you don't like Don's solo stuff.
