Hard to believe, I can remember when the Summit was being built. About
1975 ish IIRC. It was a great concert venue.

I can't remember seeing a concert at the Summit [what does THAT say?],
saw many in the old Sam Houston Coliseum back in the 70s, Springsteen at the
adjoining Music Hall in the mid-70s and Clapton and Cream my senior year in
HS [67-68]. And a couple at Hofheinz Pavilion on the UH campus. Seems like
there was one in the Dome [Who? Rolling Stones?]. The Eagles at Jeppesen
Stadium [UH campus, 1975].
Last night my SYB and I attended the opening musical concert at the
brand spanking new Smart Financial Center in Sugarland, Don Henley. My
references are fuzzy anymore but I would say it's a superior venue [

]. And Henley was, well, Henley was Henley. At 69, he's grown a little
portly and it appeared as though he was straining his voice at times. All in
all, a good mix of old and new with a country tune or two thrown in. Good
band, too. Three or four guitars, five piece horn section, three female
backup singers who also shared some duets with Henley, multiple keyboards
[one also played fiddle]. "Not very profitable, but a lot more fun," said
Don.
A little over two hours after two two-song encores.
