Post Description

The Eagles come home to the City which spawned them--Los Angeles, and to the newly renovated "Fabulous Forum," former home of the Lakers and in past years, a world renown echo chamber concert hall.

However, the Forum has been completely reborn as a concert hall, so it has new comfortable seats, acoustic paneling and a state of the art sound system which Glen Frey said was the "best sounding
concert venue in the world, and we've played them all."

Well, Frey may be over-selling the sound, as Los Angeles has the Hollywood Bowl and the Greek Theater, but this was a great sounding show, although I had a whistler a few seats away, but through
some post recording processing, I've reduced his footprint considerably.

Much of the banter is about Los Angeles and the six years they spent here developing their sound and their favorite haunts. So for the most part, it is probably meaningless to most of you out-of-towners. But there is a dedication to Randy Meisner. Don Felder is not mentioned by the boys, which given the the past lawsuits by the two and Felder's tell-all book, is not a surprise. Felder did contribute to writing "Hotel California," the band most successful recording.

The Eagles have performed shows with this static set list for several years now, and the only other Schoeps pulls were two fine recordings by Ed Tyre and Datfly in a couple Florida and New Jersey
shows last year. So I hope you enjoy this one from the Forum. 

This is a long show, almost three hours of music, so you'll get a lot of bang for your buck.

"We used to rehearse at an old at old shack in a parking lot at the Eastern end of the San Fernando Valley in a parking lot next door to a liquor store, owned by Bud, who was thoroughly pickled most of the time. That's right--It was convenient--free parking and booze." Don Henley January 16, 2014, about coming back to LA where the Eagles were formed.

"This next song is dedicated to my first wife, Plaintiff." Glen Frey January 16, 2014, dedicating the song "Lyin Eyes to his ex-wfie, Texas debutante Janie Beggs

"I'm from Detroit, where 'Mother' is only a half a word. Glen Frey, explaining the his tough Detroitneighborhood.
