The Eagles - A Tweetline

I woke up yesterday to a text message from one of our super cool volunteers letting me know they had two tickets to The Eagles Concert in Chicago. They couldn't go, and wondered if I would want them.
Called Janelle, and we headed out at 5:00 p.m. We got home at 3:00 a.m. Below are the tweets (updates on Twitter) I sent over that period of time...

Going to see the eagles in Chicago tonight!Driving by Gary. Chicago, here we come!

Ah traffic jam. How I loathe thee.
15 minutes to show time and we're stuck in line waiting to park. Hope the opening act takes a loooong time.We're in no cell phone in arena.Nevermind. Evrybody has their cell phones out. Just did Hotel cali and peaceful easy feeling. super tight.You can't hide your lyin' eyes. Absolutely fantastic sounding. Janelle's getting a kick out od the old drunk guy in the 4th row.Glen frey - "Our wives call this the credit card song... TAKE IT TO THE LIMIT"

I think don henley has played nearly every instrument on stage.

Joe Walsh deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as eddie van halen, stevie ray, Edge, keith richards, etc.


Couldn't figure out why they were making everyone stay seated. Looking around, I get it. There's a lot of old knees in here.

Encore time! Glen looks like he has one foot in the grave, but his vocals and playing are strong.


..... Aaaaand Desperado.


We caught all the encore and still beat all the traffic. A great show. A great experience.
