I Saw an Eagle: Don Henley Concert Review

“This is for Glenn”.
As spoken by Mr. Don Henley, at his concert in Cincinnati, which I attended Tuesday night of August 23, 2016.
This was Mr. Henley’s tribute introduction to Glenn Frey, his fallen Eagles bandmate and collaborator who passed away earlier this year.
And this was his introduction to The Eagles song Desperado, the final song of the night.
This was a great concert for sure.
Mr. Henley sang and played basically everything I wanted to hear.
He sang many Eagles songs, solo hits, and several songs from his latest album, Cass County.
As much as I loved seeing my favorite Eagle in concert, though, seeing him solo makes me wish forevermore that I had seen him with all his bandmates of The Eagles while I could.
I will forever regret not going to see them.
But I did see Mr. Henley.
And that will do for me.
Love and Peace everyone.
