Welcome from across the water Jonny. Did you get to any of their UK shows last Summer?
Re: Eagles fan from the UK
Sadly I didn't. :-( Would certainly have been nice to have gone, apart from the obvious pleasure of seeing the band live the setlist looked great, there seemed to be quite a few less common songs (Saturday Night, TLHTM, Doolin-Dalton, PMAIAR, Those Shoes) and of course Bernie being there for a good chunk it as well. Funnily enough though I'd never actually been to a rock concert until this summer when I went to see Neil Young, which was a terrific night.
Apart from taking my name from the lyrics of New Kid In Town and Jonny being my real name, I'm relatively new to music in general, three years or so ago I was a pretty passive listener and only since then have I really started to get into it so I'm still a 'New Kid In Town' compared to most other music fans around my age. One other thing is that I actually share my first and middle name with J.D. Souther. Along with being born the year hell froze over, I guess it was inevitable I'd become an Eagles fan. :)

Welcome Jonny. You seem to have quite similar musical tastes to mine. You mention Dire Straits; just letting you know I am this board's resident Dire Straits/Mark Knopfler fanatic. Feel free...:guitar:
Re: Eagles fan from the UK
Oi, there's only room for one young British male Eagles fanatic on this forum ;)
Seriously though, welcome :D Out of interest whereabouts are you from? Us Brits are quite a rare breed on here.

Superb guitarist, his work at the end of Sultans of Swing (I've always assumed it's him anyway) is amazing.
Out of interest British comedian Al Murray refers to Dire Straits as the Geordie Eagles, make of that what you will.
(For any Americans etc on here, Geordie = someone from Newcastle upon Tyne.)
