Koala, your story is very similar to mine! I also knew their solo songs first and first encountered the Eagles through Hell Freezes Over, but did not become a superfan until 2005. Now I am also in the EagleFever!

Always in our hearts, Never forgotten
Re: How did you become a fan of the Eagles/a specific Eagle?
I understand you perfectly too Koala. And I LOVE the phrase 'Eaglefever'. I always was aware of and loved all the Eagles songs as well. It took a live gig in 2006 to make me a superfan. Helped in no small way by Mr Frey!!
'I must be leaving soon... its your world now'
Glenn Frey 1948-2016 RIP

Re: How did you become a fan of the Eagles/a specific Eagle?
I was a teenager in the 70's so I definately grew up with the Eagles songs. I remember "Heartache tonight" being THE song at my high school prom, that everybody danced to....and crying everytime I heard "New kid in town", since my then boyfriend left me for the "new kid" in our town...aahh...teenage years...I sort of lost touch with them during the 80's..of course, I knew Glenn and Don's solo songs, but somehow did not pay much attention to them...and like any other Eagles' fan, I was extremely excited when "Hell freezes over" tour started and when I saw the video, I was hooked again.....I had always considered Glenn the cutest, but when I saw him on that video..wow....he was (is) incredibly good looking...and he just has that certain "je ne sais quoi" that makes him simply irrisistable..and then I found this site, and other people who think just like me...it's wonderful!!!
...and welcome aboard Koala.............

The doctor says: Warning--Once a Borderer is 'in the Eaglefever', a visitation (or re-visitation) to a LROOE concert may be advised. However, said Borderer must then be apprised of the very real risk of developing PEW, which can then be addressed in a variety of ways. These include: endless playing of CDs and DVDs of both Eagles and solo works; hours spent in front of the computerI vote we add "Eaglefever" to our ever growing Eaglese dictionary!
Welcome Koala--glad to have you here. Post often!commiserating with other Borderers as well as pouring over HSG photos of said Eagles; and in the most severe cases, re-visitation to another LROOE concert. This last treatment, obviously, runs the risk of leading that Borderer into the "vicious cycle phenomenon"--recovery from which will exhaust finances quicker than Glenn Frey can turn heads at Pebble Beach.
Many Eaglefever "sufferers" (there's a misnomer!) are successfully managing their condition by utilizing the more conservative treatment techniques listed above for PEW sufferers; nowhere has this been more necessary than in the localized regions of the Pacific NW, as well as overseas (in particular, the Southern Hemisphere.) Alternatively, those fans residing in regions seeing an abundance of LROOE shows may soon follow suit, as their finances dwindle to a level incompatible with attending further shows.

Soda! 2005!Koala, your story is very similar to mine! I also knew their solo songs first and first encountered the Eagles through Hell Freezes Over, but did not become a superfan until 2005. Now I am also in the EagleFever!You have managed to cram an entire Eagles education worthy of the bandmembers' parents into such a short time period--I am flabbergasted! (I don't think I have ever typed that word before...)
I actually don't know how you did it in such a short time period! I mean, I look to you as the all-time Eagles expert...what, did you do your thesis on them or something??
Re: How did you become a fan of the Eagles/a specific Eagle?
heheehee you should mention how those of us suffering from Eaglefever who reside in the Pacific NW and Southern Hemisphere also suffer from headaches brought on byafter each new concert announcement!
