On My Way to Chicago with An Extra Ticket

[pberry]

I'm on my way to Chicago. My wife couldn't make it (my daughter is not feeling well) so I have an extra ticket and it's a great seat. I would love to sell it to a Ledgie at a discounted rate--say $70. If you're interested, call me. I will not be checking my email any more today.

The ticket is in the 8th row, section 104, close to center. You'll be sitting next to me. I have Ticketfast tickets and can meet you near Tweeter.

I'm looking forward to the show!

Sorry about your dilemma. If I was going to Chicago, I'd snatch it up in a minute. Sounds like a great seat, and an even better price. Hope you unloaded it, and more importantly to someone who was fun to be next to. You're in Stevie heaven now. ENJOY!

I totally would've if I'd known about the ticket sooner! I'm sorry...

wish I would have known--I was bummed that I could not go and had no one to go with--I hope you were able to sell your ticket and had an awesome time!!!

Thanks all for the nice words. I was not able to get rid of the ticket. There were so many brokers lurking at Tweeter, desperately trying to unload tickets. It was hard to find a fan in need.

Anyway, I thought I would give you all a quick review...

Don Henley lacks stage presence. When he first came out, I wondered what had happened. He seemed disheveled, dressed as if he were going to do work in the garage and not perform in front of a group of people. On top of this, his voice was strained during the first three songs.

HC, NYM, TLWE -- with Stevie were highlights. She is an amazing interpreter of his music. The crowd went wild, and Don told us that she will be back. During TLWE, Stevie made a joke of some sort. I could make it out. I only saw her make some motion with her hands and laugh.

Boys of Summer and The Heart of the Matter were very good.

Dirty Laundry, Life in the Fast Lane, and All She Wants to Do is Dance--I could do without them. As I watched Don perform these songs, I felt as if were saying, "Look at me, I can still rock."

End of the Innocence and Desperado were also excellent. When introducing EOI, Don say Happy Father's Day to the audience. He then got political.

Outside the Rain...I love the rain video. I found the transition from the opening music to OTR to be jarring.

Dreams...Stevie seemed to be doing a little hula dance with this one. Cute.

Rhiannon...love the videos...the scary dolls...the piano player....one of the best versions I've seen in a long time.

Enchanted. Am I the only one who dislikes this song? I also thought the pyschodelic background here was distracting.

Gold Dust Women. Interesting, but I can't say that Don added much. During Stevie's set, he wore a sports jacket.

Circle Dance -- the best moment. Stevie announced that her father was here. She said that he flew in from Arizona so that he could her and Don sing.

Band Introduction... Nice comment to Carlos...Stevie said I love you for sticking with me during hard times.

Stand Back...the beat was slower, I think. Something was different. As usual, it was great. Stevie seemed younger performing the song tonight. She did a high kick and did spin lots!

Beauty and the Beast ... second favorite moment. I love the video...the costume...the candles.

Edge of Seventeen...Stevie really seemed to enjoy shaking hands. The guards kept a lot of people from getting up close. Oh, well.

SDMHA -- Don did a good job here.

Leather and Lace -- fabulous, playful. They hugged quite a bit, here and throughout the nice.

So You Wanna Be A Rock and Roll Star -- could do without this one.



Anyway, I going to sleep...
