Eagles Mentions in the Press (2006 - 2017)

[VAisForEagleLovers]

No food, no toilets and the National Guard chomping at the bit, if I had a time machine, I think I'd still give it a miss AlreadyGone95.

I can remember being a little afraid of punks in the late 70s so I can understand the locals being terrified of an invasion of hippies during the early 70s despite them being, on the whole, perfectly decent human beings.

It's a pity that nobody is lining up a 40th anniversary re-run. I'm sure they'd make a much better job of it 40 years on.

I wonder if there's some mega rich dude thinking, "25 million, I could afford that....."

As always, thanks for the link VA (although it no longer seems to be working )

What a fantastic line up of bands!

"Aerosmith, Bob Seger, the Eagles, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ted Nugent and REO Speedwagon"

I bet the bands flew in and out post haste!

Actually, Brooke, I can't help but wondering if one or more hung around for the festival. Heck, it's no big secret the Eagles were some of the biggest party animals of the '70s!

They very well might have! Can you imagine seeing all these bands in one place?! Awesome!

Little Woodstock! What a mess!

On the way down to the concert; The Heat Is On, The HeartOf The Matter & Life In The FastLane played on the radio. Dinner before the concert a guy was playing Hotel California on a piano. Saturday nigh HC again was playing on the sound system to a reggae beat.

Little Woodstock! What a mess!

And that is why a time machine is needed. $20 to see all of those bands?!
No food, no toilets... sometimes my old church camp had that problem (someone made a toilet overflow or one of the old pipes burst. One of the adults would forget to go shopping for supplies and they'd be searching for food to feed us for lunch. No a/c, chapel was outdoors etc), so I could probably handle it lol. I just don't know about the national guard part.

I think that I would enjoy it for the most part, although maybe the 1974 California Jam is a better festival to time travel back to.

The poster for the festival. Link to it now before it goes away. It's for sale on eBay.

Thanks for the link VA. I've had this book for months and still haven't had a chance to read it.

Please let us know when you have read it, Dreamer. I'm curious to know if it is worth purchasing. The "facts" mentioned in the book review were certainly not new to us!

Me too. Did you read the bit about how many farm animals the crowd slaughtered because they were hungry?! [shudder] Bit of a Lord of the Flies thing going on. Not Woodstock-y at all, but more like the Woodstock '99 hell scene.

OT: I would borrow the time machine for June 21, 1975 at Wembley Stadium https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KldSglCoYaU
