Before going to the University of Kentucky football game, my daughter and I went to Malone’s Steak House for a good meal.  As we do most of the time, we went to the Malone’s at Hamburg.  The address is 1920 Pleasant Ridge Drive, Lexington.  It has a great environment and the staff and management are always friendly and informative.  We started the meal with one of my favorite appetizers, fried Calamari.

The Sweet-n-Spicy Calamari as it is listed on the menu, is made up of calamari, red peppers and banana pepper fried with a lite batter. Malone’s serves them with a sweet and spicy chili sauce.

For our meals we both decided to have the twin filets which come with hot bread a bottomless Lexingtonian salad and one side item. I ordered my filets with a Kentucky Bourbon BBQ sauce and Crispy Onions.  It was one of the best steaks that I have ever eaten.  On my last visit to Malone’s I had the twin filets with Rockefeller Au Gratin.  The Bourbon BBQ is by far the better choice in my opinion.

My daughter ordered the Twin Filets with Blue Cheese Au Gratin.  The Filets were served with the crusted Blue Cheese on the top of them.

Both of our orders were cooked to Medium Rare as ordered.  The steaks were as always, tender and juicy.  For one of the best steaks in Lexington you must go the Malone’s Steak House.

After a good steak dinner at Malone’s Steakhouse in Lexington at Hamburg. We proceeded to our hotel. We decided to stay at the Hyatt because it is connected to Rupp Arena which was the site of the Eagles Concert.

We checked in to our rooms and hurried to Rupp. The concert was a trip in time for me, it carried me back to the summer of 1975.

That was the summer before my senior year of high school. My friends Jack, Tommy and I loaded up in Jack’s car and went to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for a week. The drive to the beach took about eight hours and we had a brand new Eagles eight track tape.

Back to 2015. The concert was really good, in that the band walked you through its history. It starts with Don Henley and Glen Frey walking on stage and sitting on stools playing acoustic guitars the song “Saturday Night”.  They then talk about the start of the band and meeting  Bernie Leadon at that point he walks on stage and the three perform “Train Leaves Here This Morning”.  When the three start playing “Peaceful Easy Feeling” Timothy B Schmit walks on to stage and joins them.

After the song  Henley moves the drums and as the group starts “Witchy Woman” Joe Walsh walks onto stage. The group then takes you through a history of their music.

Besides hearing the songs again the one thing I really enjoyed was seeing Joe Walsh and hearing him play the guitar.  When Don Frey joined him it just does not get any better.

It was a nice evening spent with good music and good friends.  My wife’s sisters and their husbands went the concert with us.
