Great show last night in Hamilton. The venue wasn't the greatest for accoustics however he can still belt out the tunes. Too bad he isn't making a stop in Toronto but the drive in wasn't too bad.
Great songs...great voice and very entertaining -- excellent work even if Jack said it first
Don Henley should of canceled his concert last night as his vocal cords were not working, he was not up to par so this was very disappointing for me as I love his music.. He spent more time talking than singing,,,,, when you spend a lot of money on a concert you expect the performer to give you nothing but his best performance.
Don Henley can still rock the house.....his talent has not faultered through the years...he still amazes me with that "voice" and carries me away with his vocals....truly a show to see .....I so recommend seeing him in concert if you get the chance.....he so blew me away.....
Don Henley was excellent but the warm up band was painful at best. We were on the floor and after I asked the fellow in front of me to stop moving I could actually see. Why can they not stagger the rows of seats on the floor so everyone is looking through a window and can see the stage. Two encores were amazing.
A wonderful nights entertainment,classy band full of classical music and a concert to remember,very surprised it was not a sell out,you all missed a treat.
The crowd had a Henley love in at Copps. It was probably not the best venue for his concert but from September Song to Desperado Henley was on! Great band backed the Eagles front man as he covered his hits, some Eagles classics and threw in a couple of extra. The crowd just sang along! A great night out and I was thoroughly entertained.
This was a wonderfully entertaining concert. Mr. Henley is a story teller both with words and music. Consumate instrumental performers in his group also. And it might also be said that it is refreshing to have a group present a polished look (suits, semi-formal attire).
We went to see Don Henley last night at Copps Coliseum. The opening band was more of a lounge singer, so we were not very impressed with them, BUT once Don Henley was on we were sooooooooo glad we went! He complained about having trouble with his voice but he sounded GREAT to me! Great songs! Great band! GREAT TIME!
Has stage presence, fab voice and great material. Acoustics at venue prevented me giving 5 stars. Henley is a top writer and singer of his generation. He gave it his all and his back up was very good.
Henley started off rough with his voice - but hit his stride by the middle of the show and was good to go for the night. His voice can still deliver country - blues - rock and his lyrics and choice of music can still speak for the heart of America - He still has something to say - lets hope he uses his talents to say something - to strike a chord and continue to make his mark - looking forward to his new material
I have seen the Eagles 4 times perform together, but after listening to Don Henley last night, you know who carries the show. All of the songs he performed were classics. If you just listened to him and the band you did feel that you were at the Eagles concert, just without the other familiar faces. The young guy on the lead guitar was amazing. Henley mentioned that his voice was rough, but even so it didn't distract from his unique sound. What a voice!
Don's classic. Every song amazing. When's he back?
A class act!! Henley just gets better and better. !
My husband and I went to Windsor to see Don Henley at Caesars on November 6. I hadn't seen a Henley solo show since the 80's, although we did see the Eagles in 2008 on their Long Road Out of Eden tour. I must say, after a drive of 4 hours, the show was absolutely worth it! Don performed some from his own collection of songs and some classic Eagles with a few surprises in the mix. I don't want to give anything away to spoil the experience for those still going to see the show on Don's too short fall tour. I recognized a few familiar faces on stage with Don from the Eagles Long Road Out of Eden tour. A nice touch might have been to introduce them to the audience - just to be respectful of the talent they so clearly brought to the stage. All in all, an amazing show. Don Henley had everyone up on their feet during the encores!!!
Don Henley was great, what a seasoned performer. He played all of his greatest hits from his solo career and some of my favourite Eagle songs. We sat third row and is was amazing.
Don Henley put on a great show, classy, entertaining and must be considered as one of the few remaining professional showman. True to form in both his solo career as well as a driving force member of The Eagles.
Don Henley's November 6th show at Caesars Windsor in Canada was handicapped by a late start for an average Little Feat wanna-be cover band, and a 10 p.m. start for the headliner – not a great decision for an AARP-and-above audience. Henley's set started slow and raspy with unexpected renditions of "I Put a Spell on You" and "September Song" separated only by "One of These Nights." It appeared that Don may be going the way of Rod Stewart in crooning his way through the night with an odd mixture of old standards and Henley ballads, but then he found his rock-and-roll stride as he swung into the meat of his solo career, tossing in an unexpected cover of "Everybody Wants to Rule the World." Don also tells a funny story involving his encounter at an L.A. party with Jack Nicholson and an unnamed blonde co-star from one of his movies in the 80's which led to Henley writing "Last Worthless Evening" (based on the timing, Micelle Pfeiffer, perhaps?). He introduced "Dirty Laundry" by tying the song's contemporary relevance to Nancy Grace & Jane Velez Mitchell; "Two of the biggest mouths and worst hairdos on television." After closing the set with "Life in the Fast Lane," Henley held to his Eagles roots in the first encore, offering spot-on renditions of Hotel California and Desperado. While some concert-goers may pontificate about their desire to hear meandering riffs or re-imagined arrangements of an artist's staples in their live music, I was thrilled that these two songs in particular sounded like they came right off "Hell Freezes Over." Henley's 8-piece band is talented and polished, and, judging by the audience reaction, their only indiscretions were in the set list omissions. From "Sunset Grill" and "Not Enough Love in the World" on the solo side to "Best of My Love," "Witchy Woman," and "Last Resort" from his Eagles book, Don left a lot on the table. The band came back for a second encore, but followed the monster "Hotel California" and "Desperado" combination with the relatively unfamiliar and poorly timed "I Will Not Go Quietly" which seemed to spend all the good will his first encore built with the audience. And despite having the quintessential closing song in "Taking You Home" in his crooner's holster, he stretched a bit for November 6th and used "Please Come Home for Christmas" to end the show. Strong show if you are a Henley fan, but I have to believe that critical elements like adjusting the set list and getting on stage 30-60 minutes earlier for an audience built on white hair and walkers is vital. Much like the old joke about why a dog does...what he does, and based on the pace and selections in his show, it seems that the answer to why the 62-year-old Henley makes some of the choices he does at this point in his career is simply because he can.
Don Henley was, as usual, fantastic. He didn't miss a beat. His band, which the majority toured with the Eagles their last tour, was second to none. Don put together a nice combination of his own songs, as well as some huge Eagles hits, including Hotel California. The only complaint I have is the opening act. JD and the Straight Shot. Thet were terrible. I have heard better bands at the local bar on a Saturday night. Their front man/lead singer was awful, off key all night. I have never seen so many people walk out of a show as I did that night. JD and the Straight Shot should be on a bus "Straight" back to where ever they came from! If you are going to the show, don't worry about getting there early to hear the opening act, that's for sure, but Don Henley is worth every penny!
The warm up band didn't get us there, their music didn't match the show we had come to see. We had to work hard during the encore to get the best of Don Henley and I didn't find those numbers by other artists to be of the same value.
