Concert at The Village Nov. 7th 2008

Where the streets have no names, mainly because they change to often in this town. Another beautifully clear Dubai evening and temperatures comfortably at 27C (80F). Erin and I met up with Mike, Dave, and Sakkie at The Irish Village for a rocking good concert by Eagles and U2 cover bands Desperado and ZU2. The Village had set up a stage on the edge of the lake outside the bar. The venue was incredible and it seems appropriate for a Dubai concert to have a back drop for the stage being a cluster of three cranes from the construction site down the street.
Desperado opened with some classic numbers and mixed in a few from the latest album. Their music was great and the singing sounded just like Joe Walsh and Glenn Fry. ZU2 had the look down with the Bono sunglasses and straw cowboy hat and The Edge sporting the iconic skull cap. The sound was good too. They featured the newer songs from U2 and only played a couple of the classics. All in all a good show!!
