Eagles concert at Thomspon Boling last night

Anyone else go?

I got a call from the wife right before I left work. Seems a girl she works with had two extra tickets she could not sell off. Gave them to me and the wife. Would not take any money for them.

I had never been to that arena for any event before. Getting in to park was a little tough but it all worked out okay. Seats were facing the stage in the upper deck. The band looks like specks on the stage but they had a couple of big screens to make up for that. Seating in that place is cramped for a fatboy like me. No legroom, i was pretty darn stiff after being there for three hours.

but it was well worth any aggravation. They played for over 2.5 hours, with about a 15 minute intermission. Played a bunch of the new album as well as almost all the classics. Every time I have seen them with Joe Walsh he has stole the show. Last night I thought he did it again. really good rendition of Funk 49. No Rocky Mtn Way though. They did one encore with two songs to end the night.

I am glad I followed the law and did not carry. They were wanding everyone who went through the gate we used. No doubt having a pistol would not have ended up very well. But I did not feel unsafe at anytime while on campus. It is the only "dry" concert I have ever been too. that was kind of strange. I wonder if the band noticed a subdued sober crowd.

i guess I got lucky getting out of the parking garage. we ended up parking in G10 (for those of you that know the lots) Got out of there and was back home in about an hour after leaving the concert.

I had a chance to go to that but did not think I could so I passed. Turns out I could have went. My daughter did go and called me this morning and said that was the best concert she has ever been to (and she's been to a lot). If I ever get another chance I'll be sure and go.
