Absolutely the best show at the Casino yet---would see him again in a New York Minute. Added bonus was seeing Steuart Smith with the band---totally awesome!!!!
The band was awesome. Henley almost perfect. He was a little hoarse. The crowd was funny. One of the best I have seen.
First, the opening act. Horrific. I've heard better from karaoke bars after last call. Their band was in a state of disarray, which significantly changed the initial mood of the crowd, bringing them to jeers. The drummer dropping his sticks midway through a set just seemed like standard fare for the band. Henley. My friend, you are 62 years old. It's time to loosen your pants a little. The muffintop was distracting at best. And if I were to find any disappointments, I would say that it was that the man never climbed behind the sticks, choosing to stay out front for the entire show. His voice sounded harsh at the outset and seemed laboured to reach the range that is so well known to his fans, however, as the set progressed, the voice improved significantly. The backup band was probably the tightest group I've ever witnessed. Hotel California killed. However, even though knowing the arrogance of the man, it was still surprising that he didn't introduce any members of the band. The music ranged through solo, to Eagles, to pretty much every decade in the past century. It was all very tight, very passionate, very moving... I saw him some 10 years ago, I would see him again. Each show seems to give a little different feel.
Don Henley and the band put on an excellent show, three encores for a total of 2 hours playing time. This was our first time going to a concert at the Windsor Casino and overall it was pretty good, one of my beefs is that "meet and greet" was only available to the high rollers. As a photographer and fan I would have liked the opportunity to meet Don and get our picture taken with him but I can understand and respect his privacy and not everyone gets the chance. Both my wife and I had a great time and wood gladly come back and see him again. Thanks Don and the band for a great performance. Being from Sarnia I would like to see him at "Bayfest".
Don Henley was great. He made everyone feel relaxed with his humour and wit.
He may be getting up there in age but his voice is still the same! What a great concert he put on! Although it wasn't really long enough to include the many hits Don has had. The warm-up band was unannounced and unexpected. Did I/we lose time with Don Henley because of the warm-up band performing? It's almost like they were thrown in at the last minute to fill time.
Don and the band were great. Don still has it. 3 encores and solid vocals to the end. A classy performance and person.
Great show. Always wanted to see Don Henley. Glad he made it to Windsor, Great songs from Henley's solo career and hits with The Eagles. Highly recommend this show.
Incredible show!!! Don may be getting older like the rest of us, but it sure hasn't affected his voice at all. Just a great performer, and his backup band, well they were fantastic!!!
It was a good show,,,,but he started late, the guitar solos were a bit loud, the warm-up band sort of sucked, didn't sing enough eagle songs and he sang one really old 40's song and one 80's song (tears for fears-----everyone wants to rule the world) and one only christmas song???????.
Awesome show!! Will go again for sure. Great songs.
It was the best concert that we have ever gone to. He is remarkable and we hope he comes back for us in Windsor. Three oncores!!!! THANK YOU DON HENLEY
Don Henley really knows how to showcase his remarkable voice and his music. It started out with some unexpected pieces that still showed his vocal range. Each subsequent song built on our anticipation of his fabulous hits. The musicians in his group are also exceptional. What as great show. By the time he got to "All She Wants to Do is Dance" we all wanted to dance and did! Nothing like a live performance like this.
worth the time and price of tickets perfect set list
An amazing show! Don Henleys voice was in top form and his band was incredible. He played an excellent variety of songs, including my wife's two favorites-hotel california and desperado. Such a class act and two encores!!
