Your last concert was to see who and when?

@ghosthouse For SD, "Ready"Freddy Cunningham handled the bass admirably. They brought out Chuck Rainey (lives in Dallas) to play on "Peg", which he recorded on Aja. He did great. I think he suffered a stroke circa 2011. John Harrington handled all the guitar work--he is an effortless masterful guitarist. I'm not trying to take anything away from the Doobie Brothers guitar trio, but...Harrington plays circles around all those guys and doesn't prance around while he is doing it. He played the technically challenging and musical "Reelin' In the Years" solo in the encore and it seemed flawless, dynamic and calmly powerful. SD had the best group of musicians I have seen in a live performance that was not straight jazz. Keith Carlock on the drums is phenomenal. No Michael McDonald with the Doobies. DB sounded pretty darn good; they have aged pretty gracefully (at least from my vantage point on the floor row M). They were high energy, again for their age. DB played 1hr and 20 minutes. SD about the same. Here is the SD set list:

The Eagles at the Vivint Center in Salt Lake City last Sunday. One of the best concerts of my life.

Wow! @reubent ,

Nice! Real nice!

Thanks for that thoughtful and generous reply.  I can get a feel for the actual concert given the links you provided.  Interesting about the covers and band-sans-Fagen-songs.  I can readily believe your comments about John Harrington's playing.  He contributed to quite a few of the later SD (and Becker, Fagen solo) recordings.  Very, very tasteful player.  Need to see if I can find some of his solo stuff on-line.  Never listened to him solo.  I was sort of hoping Mr. McDonald might be part of that show since he contributed harmony vocals on many SD albums and was part of  DB for years (though have to admit, I wasn't crazy about the turn their music took when he joined).  I'll also note his participation in Dukes of September.  Wish THOSE guys would record something for release.  Love his voice.  Thanks again.  Later.

@ghosthouse You and I think alike. I kind of was hoping Michael McDonald would show up too. When DB played the songs MM sang lead on, they let the bass player (whose name I didn't catch) sing in a few places. Um, MM sang them much much better.  His voice is easy to pick out. I always hear him like a bell in Christopher Cross' first album. And I could listen to MM sing just about anything.
