The Eagles rock! Saturday night we went to see the Eagles Farewell I 2005 Tour at the Indian Wells Tennis Gardens. It was awesome. Almost surreal, and on so may different levels. First of all, I have never gone to a concert that was 1.96 miles away from my house. It only took about 10 minutes to get parked. Concerts usually involve 2+ hours of driving (both ways), and in the case of Green Day/Blink 182 concert we went to in San Diego - 2 hours to get out of the arena after midnight, when we all had to work in the morning.
We went with my parents, my sister, and Mike's sister & her husband. It's cool to be able to do things like that with my parents. They all came over to our house before hand for the pre-party. I have only been to one other concert with my parents, which was Joe Walsh, coincidentally. We all had a great time, and we got my mom to dance with us. She actually danced more than I did! It's just so unnatural to sit down at a concert! Beers were of course $7 each, but that didn't stop us. Mike and I even got by the "security" with 4 Miller Lites stuffed in his pockets, while we were each drinking one.
They played for 3 hours, with a 20-30 minute intermission, no opening act. At first I thought it was going to be too long of a show, but they got to play all the songs I wanted to hear, plus some songs from their solo careers, too, like Funk #49, Boys of Summer, etc. I never thought I'd see the Eagles period, much less in such a small venue. Awesome!
