Felder is still sharp at 82. Played his co- written songs with the Eagles as well as his own stuff. Struggled a bit with the high power chords but still plays an excellent guitar. Had the class NOT to slam Don Henley and Glen Frey. Played the extended Hotel California guitar solo with Dave Amato ( REO Speedwagon) with the famous double necked white top guitar. Super job although not as powerful as his younger day.
Really really enjoyed, Heavy Metal, especially with cuts from the movie in the background. Youngsters would love Heavy Metal. Still holds up after all these years - the song and the movie. He also played, Holleywood Victim, a song I didn't know, but it was excellent - kinda related to, You belong to the City. Perhaps a jab at Glenn Frey?
Total surprise was Randy Bachman. He and Burton Cumming are life long friends and I had thought Burton bought him along on this tour, out of semi retirement, as a gesture of friendship, however, Randy rocked three BTO songs, doing vocals and playing a harsh lead, Taking Care of Business, Let it Rode and You Ain't seen nothing yet. Burtons band backing him up was loud and gritty - completely different from the Guess Who's power ballads and delicate arrangements from the early 70's. Burton Cumming's long mystical lead in to American Woman followed by AW was really sweet.
I get it: old stuff. Boomer stuff, but the stuff that helped shape music today. If you're over 50, you'd know and appreciate most of these song and take a road back to the days of psycadellica, 70s, protests and Vietnam.
Ask your parents - oh,make that your Grandparents…
Ok, for the 4 of you who read this, that's all I got. I won't wait around for Rolling Stone to call me…
