I wonder how Joe Perry is doing after stumbling offstage and collapsing at a recent show?

I caught a documentary on Netflix about them. Now I don't care if I ever hear another Eagle's song.

I wasn't a big fan, but curious what you learned that put you off.

They seemed to be a group of very shallow, goofy, lightweight boys who someone got connencted to a few good lyrics. Glen Frey and Don Henley wrote most of the stuff, but they too seemed less than serious.

I don't know I saw the same documentary you saw, but the one I saw showed two egomaniacs. Glen Frey in particular. Real jerks.

Unlike all the other rock stars in the biz. I still can't see why it matters as far as the music.

Have you ever seen any documentary about about Chuck Berry? He was a world class asshole and any of the old timers who knew him would verify that.
But why do I care?

I didn't see Tia, but I saw a few friends from GP there. All and all, it was a good night.

As soon as the band started the crowd swarmed down to any available standing space.  It was nuts.  I had seats and good ones for all the good they did me. You can't see for the standing people; tall people seem to gravitate to any open space in front of you. I even had people elbowing me over in my paid for seat. One guy came and parked  himself in between my sister and I in our seats.  One girl pushed me over and stayed pushing me over to hold up her camera phone.  All decorum and etiquette seemed to be gone.  Even the cool giant size balloons that are meant to be volleyed through the crowds were grabbed by souvenir keepers. My daughter and guest were in the the front which essentially became the mosh pit.  Johnny threw a guitar pic that landed on  her arm and bounced off to her feet whereupon a one armed man wearing birkenstocks shoved her aside and put his foot on the pic and would not let her have it.  People were RUDE and entitled. By the end the pot smoke was thick and people were pulling off fifths.  The girl in paid seats in front of me was 86'd. I guess that's how it goes. 

Overall it was just a very high profile cover band. For once the sound was good. Not common at the Britt. Represented band members: Aerosmisth, Alice Cooper, Stone Temple Pilots, Guns and Roses and Johnny effin' Depp. Who was, super cool because he's Johnny effin' Depp. I thought Alice was great. I couldn't see much of Perry. The place was packed I don't know where everyone parks for these sold out shows.

Excellent review Tia. Yes the sound was good, but it was a impossible to see anything for the reasons you describe. I was sitting on the lawn when a staff member pulled some reserved signs off a few picnic tables near me, so we sat on one near us. When the music started, people stood on tables in front of us so the only thing we could see were butts. I stayed where I was at for most of the show and only went down front to get a glimpse of the band before we left. 

The last concert I attended at the Britt was for Rebelution. I had reserved seats for that show and enjoyed it more. I cant believe people squeezed in on you guys. I was wishing I had reserved seats for the show, but now I doubt it would have mattered. I parked around 10 blocks away from the Public Parking lot then walked back and took the trolley to the entrance. I'm not in a hurry to see another concert there. 

If I had been near you, I would have been happy to buffer you against the intruders. The last Britt concert I saw you at was Michael Franti. Remember?

I do remember that. I'm not a big Britt fan.  There's an Appalachian music show coming up. I might go see that. Those mellow shows where you actually can just have a picnic and not be crowded are pleasant. But their sound usually is awful. Though, I've heard it's actually better  up on the hill.  I saw the  Decemberist last year and I was excited because I really like their music, but I was disappointed because the sound was so awful.  It was like watching them and hearing it on the radio.  Steve Miller was good when I saw him, but overall, I'm not a huge fan of the Britt and only occasionally go to shows there. I had to park out by the German place which isn't so bad, but my dodgy knees made that painful.  I think that last night was most crazy show I've been to there.
