And it was amazing 
Didn't have high hopes tbh as I would have never classed myself as a fan. I got the tickets for H as his main birthday gift for his 40th. But I was totally blown away, singing away with all my might much to H's embarrasment (he's a fold your arms and look midly interested concert goer).
The support was Paul Carrack (off of Mike + The Mechanics) and he was excellent. Opened the show with 'How Long' and finished his act with 'Over My Shoulder'. I was surprised to find myself welling up at 'The Living Years' but understandable really as this song was at the top of the charts when my lovely Grandad passed away.
Felt a bit sorry for Paul Carrack as Hampden was still half empty when he came on (at 7pm). Not sure if Paul Carrack is supporting the Eagles at the other UK gigs- but if he is, and you have tickets, be there for 7pm - he's well worth it!
Was struggling to think what else to get H for his birthday but i've just found out that his all time act - Alison Moyet, is touring at the end of the year so i'm going to get him tickets for that.
