Eagles 40th Anniversary

[sodascouts]

Just thinking about how momentous it is for a band to still be as successful as these guys are after 40 years is staggering. I bet when Glenn and Don were talking about forming a group together as they supported Linda Ronstadt in 1971 when they were in their 20s, they never figured they'd be playing stadiums when they were in their 60s. It's no mean feat.

Of course, what's really important is not how successful they are after all these years, but all the lives they have touched in that time, and all the lives they continue to touch - myself among them. Glenn has talked about the "soundtrack to people's lives" and he's talking not about thousands, not about hundreds of thousands, but about millions - and that was just the 70s. How many more since then?

What a gift.

I agree.... I like what he said last night in ac as an introduction to the long run...If we knew we'd be around this long we would have taken better care of ourselves...no not really.

Who thinks in theri 2o"s they would be where they are today.

they have touched so many lives and effected so many people for the better I am sure so

happy big 40...a milestone for sure

Completely agree. I know that HC (the album) is definitely my life soundtrack and my life wouldn't be the same, possibly wouldn't be here now, without that album and that band.

Happy 40th Eagles!!!! Really looking forward to the documentary and upcoming tour next year.

Wow the best band ever is still going strong. They make the best music and it certainly is the soundtrack to our lives. Keep on making music.

40 th Anniversary Edition

Any one who reads my concert reviews can tell I am not just in to the music, I am very much in to the gear they use to make it. I have been a guitar player for years and I will quickly admit I am not good at it. But I have some topshelf gear and I am always on the look-out for innovative new gear.

I first noticed Joe Walsh playing Duesenberg guitars on the Melbourne DVD. He uses a guitar with a pearl finish that is very unique. Up until that time I had never heard of or seen a Duesenberg guitar. I have also noticed that Glenn Frey uses Duesenberg guitars. Joe is one of their spokes- people. There is a picture of him on their website. You can check it out at:

If you have the time and you explore the website you will find they are now marketing an "Eagles" model on the occasion of thei band's 40th anniversary. You can check it out at:

But it doesn'tstop there. The company also makes an Eagles BAss model similar to the guitar. You can check it out at:

It's all about the gear...
