James' Review

I have seen the Eagles live at every opportunity when they have played London since hell froze over, Wembley in 96 realizing a childhood dream which I never thought would happen; seeing my guitar hero Joe Walsh with the Eagles, Earls Court in 2001 (great show sadly not the best venue), The awesome Twickenham Stadium show in the summer sun of 2006, but Saturdays show at the 02 was phenomenal as it was a totally new dimension with the brilliant fresh up to date sounding new material intermingled with the classics and solo offerings, the new album has been a long time coming almost thought it wouldn’t happen although new songs have surfaced from Get Over It to Hole in the World I thought that maybe it.  The new stage production and show structure was first class. 

The earlier reviews and L&M’s audio review has already offered set list and informative synopsis of the all new performance and production delivery of this tour so wont be repetitive on that.  What I want to share is I took this opportunity to take my 10 year old son Henry to his first concert.  He has grown up listening to the Eagles, The Who, Neil Young, The Hamsters-(UK live act worth looking up) and in contrast Natalie Merchant & Lloyd Cole.  Funnily with out being forced other than from witnessing my own enthusiasm Joe Walsh is his guitar hero too rather than other’s his age opting for pop or younger rock acts new to today’s market.  Henry chose the Eagles as his baptism to live music rather than a pop act like most kids his age, much to his mother Nicola’s disappointment I might add as she was left at home to baby sit his 5 year old brother, who himself also can’t wait to old enough see the Eagles too.  Henry sporting a red and white bandana just like Joe whore on stage back in the 70’s we took our seats over looking the stage from the right hand side, we had a great aerial view from the front row of the upper tier in block 20.  Henry was on the edge of his seat for the complete show awe struck from start to finish, I was worried he would get tired but was so wowed & wide awake by the adrenalin rush this great experience produced it was unbelievable.  It proves nearly four decades on the Eagles are still attracting a new youthful audience.  I haven’t seen my Live in Melbourne DVD since we got home; I wonder where it is, in Henry laptop no doubt.
