The four discs 1. The Early Days 2. The Ballads 3. The Fast Lane and 4. The Millennium Concert
I am a confessed Eagles fan, have been for four decades. These guys have certainly gone the distance, sounding as fresh today as they did forty-odd years ago. In the early days the band consisted of Randy Meisner, Bernie Leadon, Don Henley and Glenn Frey; Henley and Frey - the great songwriting duo. Joe Walsh joined the Eagles in 1976 and in 1977 Timothy B. Schmit replaced Randy Meisner on bass.
In 1980 the Eagles partnership was falling apart and the official announcement came in 1981. They were off the scene for fourteen years apart from varying degrees of success in solo careers. And then in 1994 the Eagles made a splendid return for an MTV special followed by the 'Hell Freezes Over' tour that continued until the end of summer 1996. The album went on to sell 15 million copies. Do I have a copy? What do you think!
On New Year's Eve 1999 the Eagles played Staples Center, Los Angeles and this was probably their finest hour. I wish I had been there. And they are still touring; The History of The Eagles tour is presently doing various dates in the USA. Anyone in Lake Tahoe, NV have a spare room for 29th August.......
