A Refugee and an Eagle: Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers/Joe Walsh Concert Review

I saw Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers and Joe Walsh at US Bank Arena in Cincinnati, Ohio on June 12, 2017.
Two more I can mark off my list.
Both were fun.
Both Joe and Tom were quite appreciative of the crowd.
Both their bands are very good, especially Tom’s.
I’m glad I finally saw both.
Next show is June 27, when I see Journey and Asia.
Stay tuned.

P.S. Below are some pics I took, as well as the setlists.
However, before I show you those, I also want to say that I found out before I went to this show that one of my favorite people in the world passed away.
Mr. Norman J. Beebe.
For those that knew him, they know what I know, and that is that he was a Saint.
He always had time for people, would always listen, was very smart, had great stories, and was a mentor to many. Including myself.
I still have a lot to learn and a lot to do in this life, but if I could just be even a tenth as great of a person as he was, then that would be a great thing.
Rest In Peace Norm!
You earned it.
My condolences to all of his family, friends, and everyone that loved him.
Love ya Norm!
