Saw them play in san fran at at&t park. Man, they put on a great show. Total pros. Glenn Frey's son Deacon sounds almost exactly like his dad, and also a total pro. Joe Walsh, as usual, cutting it super strict going nuts, playing so good. Steuart Smith also played great, he is a great guitarist. Flawless, the entire night, not a mistake, just spot on! One thing I didn't like was Henley putting his solo stuff in the set, especially his 80s stuff. Saw them on the Hell Freezes Over Tour, and this was almost as good. Not many guys can play every night and sound like their albums. Some people say its a good thing, while others say its bad. I enjoyed it.
Forgot to mention, Vince Gill was awesome. He was throwing down heavy complex leads as if they were nothing. Played rhythm guitar and sang beautifully like Deacon did. When Vince Gill was playing a tele, he was getting INSANELY GOOD TONE!! he even broke out a Les Paul for a few different songs. He played a different Les Paul for each song. Joe Walsh was also getting great tone. I think he was playing through a DR. Z and I could not make out what the other amp he was playing. He also busted out a couple guitars that I had never seen before, as I didn't have a clue as to who made them.One even had a Floyd Rose on it. Him and Steuart Smith both played Ernie Balls through out the night including a double neck played by Smith for the Hotel California solo!! I know people like to say Freebird and Hotel California are worn out and cheesy. But to me, Hotel California is awesome, wont ever get old, and the solo is totally AWESOME!!!!
