It must have been Glen's night off

It must have been ..I'm not senile quite yet. I would have remembered seeing any of the Eagles live. Like I did Joe Walsh opening for Stevie on The Wild Heart.

I believe you. I remember reading that Glenn did not exclusively do the entire second half after Men At Work left the bill. I think I actually remember reading that Glenn only performed one night at the Forum. So it totally makes sense that Dave played the night you saw them.

That would explain it..One thing that I can't remember is who opened for them the first time I saw Fleetwood Mac at the San Diego Sports arena in December 1979.That show was awesome too .I may have gotten there late .I was still in high school.

Danny Douma opened...

Danny Douma AllMusic Review by Rob Theakston

The opening harmonics on "Hurt to Pride" make it sound promising, but then the band kicks in and Danny Douma's debut recording seems mildly flaccid at first, echoing the musical DNA of several other southern California acts of the '70s. But as the recording continues, things pick up steam and Douma starts to develop a unique sound of his own. It's a polished effort through and through, with concerted efforts to break the mold of southern California rock. At times Douma succeeds with flying colors, and at other times he fails miserably. The big hit here, however, is "Hate You," a bluesy laid-back shuffle affair (think Fleetwood Mac's "Don't Stop"), which features everyone in the Mac (minus Stevie Nicks) and Eric Clapton as his backing band. Douma never made another album after this -- which is both a curiosity and an enigma, considering that his potential as a singer/songwriter could have been so much more with a bit more

Men at Work were slated to open originally, but when Fleetwood's LA shows were postponed to late October, Men at Work was out because of scheduling conflicts and Dave Mason and Jim Krueger were hired to open. The two did an acoustic set at the Forum. Glenn Frey was an opener for the specially arranged Irvine Meadows show, a medical benefit (also featuring Don Henley, Boz Scaggs, Joe Walsh, and JD Souther) and in Oakland.
