Nice set, very relaxed venue, decent acoustics though it took me awhile to locate stereophile sweet spot. Want to know where? That's extra. Good place with place of close parking, but it is stairs or elevator from Pavilion hall so a little foot wait getting out but no biggie. Felder and crew in good form. My quest to see remaining Eagles one at a time continues...
PS: Tix were like $60 (vs gazillion at Henley shows) in a crowd of maybe 1500 people. I've been to barmitzvahs that were larger. That high school fantasy about having a rocker at your reunion? This was it.
