Notes:
I was fortunate enough to see and record the Eagles twice on their 40-year "History"
tour in 2013 and 2014. I was so blown away by the performance, I made myself go a second
time. When we lost Glenn in 2016, I never imagined going to see them again and did sit
out of the following tours in 2017 and 2018. I gave their live album a listen,
"Live from the Forum MMXVIII" and was pleasantly surprised how great Deacon and Vince
were singing these songs with Don and Timothy. Granted, its not the same as it was with
Glenn, but still very powerful. I decided to cheap out and get a rear-side stage ticket
at the box office 20 minutes before showtime for $99. I then went to find an empty near
that side facing stack and found myself sitting with a bunch of folks from "Vet Tix".
Before the show, everyone kept repeating how they wouldn't be there if it weren't for
Vet Tix! Im not sure what the discount was, but it had to be a great deal! The older
couple behind me were pretty bothersome during the "Hotel California" album performance,
so I moved 2 rows down to row V during the set break. While this eliminated their chatter
I had louder clappers next to me, which I did my best to fix in post. The one negative
about this recording is how I wired myself up. I was running the SP-SPSB-11 in my rear
pocket (not going to do this anymore!) and any time I moved in my seat you will hear
static noise and or scuffling. I did my best in RX7 to repair these loud noises with a
de-click tool, but all it ended up doing was smoothing out the spikes. They are still
noticeable when they occur. Does it happen often? No, but they are in there. They are (for
the most part) in between songs, but you will hear some light static noise during "Victim
Of Love", the tremendous "The Last Resort" and "Seven Bridges Road". This is very minor,
but it is worth mentioning when listening back. 95% of the recording is error free. The
final 50-some minutes we all stood, so there is no noise present from that point on. This
only happened as I was sitting down. I also applied a volume boost to the quieter songs
and band speak so playback is a more enjoyable listen. You may already know Deacon Frey
left the tour in 2021 and never returned. He officially left the band a week prior to
this concert. The songs he sung lead on ("Take It Easy", "Already Gone" & "Tequila
Sunrise") were reassigned to Vince Gill with "Peaceful Easy Feeling" going to Timothy B.
Schmit. They both did a great job. I really wanted to hear Deacon Frey sing these, but
I can always go back to the official "Live from the Forum MMXVIII" to get my fix. Please
share with as many Eagles fans as you know! Enjoy!
