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, Joe 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!
