Hello from another new Indy member!

[My My]

I've been a lurker around here for quite a while, so I decided it was time to introduce myself. I'm a long time Eagles fan, since the 70's. My first Eagles concert was August 8, 1975 at the Indiana Convention Center. My last Eagles concert was June 18, 1980 at Market Square Arena in Indianapolis. I know these dates aren't listed in Randy's concert data, but the first one was rescheduled from April of 1975. I also saw them November 22, 1976 at Market Square and at Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati August 16, 1978.

Hi there! You're so lucky to have see the Eagles! I never was able to. But welcome to the Border! We're glad to have you! :wave:

[My My]

Thanks, glad to be here! And yes, I was lucky to have seen them. I guess I was the perfect age for going to concerts. I was 16 when I attended the first one. The Eagles were a very big part of my high school memories. They were "my band."

[Delilah]

Welcome to the board! And yes, you're soooo lucky to have seen them back then and 3 different line-ups too. You belong to a very special club.

[My My]

Thanks! Yep, that very special club only has only old members, but that's okay! I had a great time back then, and reminiscing now.

[East Texas Girl]

Welcome!! Great to have you! I wish I could have seen them in the 70's!!

[My My]

Thank you East Texas Girl! I wish you could have seen them then too, but at least you have part of the 1977 Capital Centre concert. That footage really is my concert experience with the Eagles.

[East Texas Girl]

I do happen to own that concert footage, with my HoTE dvd package. Absolutely awesome!!

Hi!

Would you happen to have your ticket handy from that first Eagles concert? Some friends and I were trying to nail down what the date was of the Convention Center show. I tried reviewing the show dates on the site
https://www.setlist.fm/
and according to entries there, Eagles played at another venue out of state on that date, Rich Stadium in Orchard Park, NY. If you could help clear up the discrepancy, it would be much appreciated! I did find a clipping (see attachment) in the Indianapolis Star that indicates the same date as you for Indy.

Thanks!

No, I'm sorry I don't. I just found the ad from the concert. The original concert date in April was supposed to have Minnie Riperton as an opening act, but I knew I saw Dan Fogelberg as an opener. Finally found the ad for the concert date in August of 1975. If you look up Eagles Indianapolis Star, there is a video that pops up showing the ads and dates. I found that ad using Newspapers.com last year. At the bottom of it, it says how to turn in your old ticket from the original concert date to get a ticket for the rescheduled date. I've found many discrepancies with dates on the concert tour and set list sites. This 1975 tour seems to have a lot of dates that are not listed or that are changed dates. I don't know if it had anything to do with the recording and release of "One of these Nights" or something else. Also, the rescheduled date was at a much smaller venue (Convention center maybe 7,000 capacity vs. Market Square Arena 18,000).

Sorry, just reread my post. Meant to say I you look up Eagles Indianapolis Star on YouTube, the Eagles concert ads will pop up.
