During a September 12th concert at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach, CA, former Eagles lead guitarist Don Felder played to a sold out crowd at a benefit concert in support of the Museum of Making Music. Felder played a set of seventeen songs, including classics like “Take It Easy”, “Hotel California” and more. Proceeds from the evening totaling an estimated $147,000 will be used to support the Museum of Making Music and its educational outreach programs! Felder was introduced on the night by John Mlynczak President and CEO of NAMM. Photos are courtesy of Luke Brogoitti, NAMM.
