Review: History of the Eagles Concert

Today, we saw the History of the Eagles Concert at the SAP Center in San Jose.
I have never seen San Jose this crowded! The concert looks like it was all sold out.



We didn't have the best seats in section 213, row 11. People were constantly going back and forth, either getting beer or drinks while the concert was going on (it was a bit distracting).

Eagles started out all acoustic, with Glenn Frey and Don Henley playing an acoustic version of "Saturday Night" and talking about how they got started. As the show went on, additional band members were added and introduced until there were 10 musicians on stage.

In terms of entertaining the fans, Joe Walsh led the way with his crazy antics on stage. He had a camera on his hat and would show what the fans were doing on the big screens.


Highlights of the show included "Desperado," "Hotel California," "Lyin Eyes," "New Kid in Town," and "I Can't Tell You Why." I enjoyed the concert and was surprised that the band could play for 3 1/2 hours!
