Went last night - it was a fair show. I went as a mate had a spare ticket. Had I known that the £50 tickets came with a just booked visit to the chiropractor I wouldn't have bothered as we were squashed into THE most uncomfortable seats one row from the very top of the O2. Musically the first half with all the very old acoustic stuff was better in my opinion although Joe Walsh is always good value.It's about as rocky as my mate likes and probably the least rocky that I get but there ya go. It's the "pension" tour and they're raking in as much as they can which is why ticket and merchandise prices were extortionate. It's 38 years since I last saw them and I think they were better then. I did get a little feeling of "we're just going through the motions"

Saw them a few years ago in Singapore. Hearing one of life's survivors singing "life's been good to me so far" was quality. And Glenn Frey's voice is holding up well.... "waiting in the weeds" is a great song.

Went last night. Blagged some seats very near the front. Their music will never blow your socks off but at times it was very moving. All their voices are holding up - the guitar work was great. And this solo was very special:

Well it was very good tonight - Joe Walsh can play that guitar and the vocals were spot on

Definitely was. How he still plays like that after everything he did in the 70s and 80s I'll never know. By rights he should be dead!

I know The Eagles are knocking on a bit, but the expression is 19th century. Mind you, I'm sure on NSC it must have come from the Steve Earle song of the same name on his Copperhead Road album!

Saw them at Twickers a few years back where the supplier paid, very expensive I understand but they were very good.
