I’ve managed to hit the first two major concerts at the new Mosaic Stadium – the “test case” one with Bryan Adams last May then the first “superstar” one with G ‘n’ R last August.
The next big one happened last Thursday as The Eagles were in Regina for the Memorial Cup kick-off but I didn’t end up getting tickets for a variety of reasons – I enjoy the Eagles (especially around a campfire) but I’m not as big of an Eagles fan as I am of some other “superstar” level bands. I also knew there’d be clips up on YouTube and other social media sites that would give me a taste of the concert (see below). Oh, and I also had to work on Thursday night anyhow!
Probably for the best I didn’t go – the weather was pretty shitty and after having an amazing night for Bryan Adams around the same time last year, last Thursday featured off-and-on rain and some pretty gusty cold winds that led to the band cutting their show a bit shorter than their usual setlist.
Still, as we’re home from our first long weekend at our seasonal site (no campfires because of widespread fire bans – ironically, given Thursday’s concert – due to lack of moisture) and so, after listening to my “Camper Campy Camping” playlist throughout the weekend, what better band to feature for “Music Monday” today?
“Desperado” – The Eagles
