Concert Memories: The Eagles Indianapolis, IN 9/20-21/1995

So, after visiting Winslow Arizona, I dug through my scrap books and found these tickets!  This was my first time seeing the Eagles on their big reunion tour.

My pal Mark from college and I hit the road from Berea Kentucky and spent 2 nights in Indianapolis, a pretty big deal for us back then.

I remember we spent about $70 (a pretty good amount of money for us at the time) for a room at a nicer hotel.  Once in Indy, we found there was a budget place (I think it was called the "Dollar Inn" or something like that) where we got a room for a little over $20 a night.  We were thrilled with the price.  For two college dudes on a road trip, it was perfect, but it was the kind of place I would not stay at now.

The shows were great and we had a good time.  We had general admission seats both nights, and I remember both shows were note for note, move for move, exactly the same.  At one point Joe Walsh went over and messed with Don Henley and it seemed so spontaneous.  The next night, he did the exact same routine.

Still, we were glad to be there, and to be at both shows.

As a side note, this was one of my first visits to Indianapolis, and it is now one of my all-time favorite towns.  I try to get there at least a couple of times each year.
