At The Leader Bank Pavilion, Boston, MA

It was a beautiful evening on the Boston waterfront as excited concertgoers filled Leader Bank Pavilion to see the night's headliners, Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings, performing as The Guess Who in the United States for the first time since 2001. It's hard to imagine that the opening act for such a monumental occasion could deliver a string of hits comparable to, if not even more recognizable than the headliners themselves, but that's exactly what happened when Don Felder took the stage.

Best known as a former member of the Eagles and the man who co-wrote the music for arguably the band's signature song, "Hotel California," Don Felder brought the heat from the opening note until the moment he walked off the stage. He wasted no time launching into "Already Gone," followed immediately by "One of These Nights," setting the tone for a hit-filled set that never let up.

The performance also featured a stunning rendition of "Seven Bridges Road," showcasing the strength of both the band's musicianship and harmonies, before bringing the crowd to its feet with fan favorites "Life in the Fast Lane" and, of course, the iconic "Hotel California."

I've been trying to think of a better opening act I've seen at a major concert over the past several years, and honestly, I can't come up with one. Don Felder is a class act, a world-class guitarist, and an outstanding performer whose live show is something you truly have to experience to appreciate.

The good news? You won't have to wait long. Felder heads back out on tour throughout August and beyond, so be sure to check the tour dates below to see if he's coming to a city near you. If he is, don't miss him.
