Just a few quick notes from the show on Saturday.

They did end up releasing better seats too but they still were not what I wanted. Hey, for $125.00+ I should be picky.

My seat was behind the stage and it was obstructed by the stage set up. They did have large screens set up which really were not far from us so we could 'watch' the show. The problem that I had with that was I might as well have been at a Hard Rock Cafe watching a video or something.
I did not feel like I was at a live concert.


They all sounded great but Joe Walsh was the best part of the show. During "Lifes Been Good" he put a construction helmet and it had a camera inside it. He was going around getting crowd shots. Crazy, I mean ' Helmet Cam" it sounds like something from the David Letterman show.
The crowd was mixed and they either used JW's songs for a pee break or they went wild. I found out today that he has his own fan club and does Meet and Greets for a reserved number of them at different shows. I think that Lindsey needs to do something like this!

If Joe does a solo tour I am so there. The second half was filled with solo material from the band members. Don Henley is a great singer and sounds almost exactly like he does on the CD. He is kind of boring however. I really doubt that I will see a Stevie/Don bill. "Dirty Laundry" was a highlight, however.

There was also a barricade up in front of the stage. I am sure that if Henley does a solo tour one will be up. Another words maybe being front row for a Stevie solo show won't be the same as being front row for a Mac show.

I left about 3 songs before the show ended because I wanted to avoid the crowds and I was hungry. It was about 11:15PM and I figured that I would go to the Westin and get some food. Well, they looked at me like I had 8 heads. No, sorry we don't have a place open for food. I think that is crazy but hey that is my stupid city for you.

The show was good overall but they just aren't Fleetwood Mac.
