Eagles.... 3.0

[NightMistBlue]

They could always call themselves Spreadeagles + [name of town they're playing]

Hi all, I am new to the board, although I have been a "lurker" after discovering this site last year after Glenn's passing. I was a child of the 70's - my HS and college years. Been an Eagles fan since 1972 when I first heard TIE on the radio. I guess that makes me an "oldster" here. lol.

I was also very surprised to hear this too. Especially since Don gave numerous interviews saying they would never perform again. However, I have read recent interviews by all three stating they missed performing together, so I am not surprised by this. If this is true, I would hope they donate their precedes to a RA/UC foundation in memory of Glenn.

I live about about an hour to hour in a half away from Citi Field. However, as someone else stated, I think the ticket price would break the bank for this show. Also, sitting in a stadium in July in New York can be brutal, depending on the weather. Last summer was one of the hottest on record, so if that happens again it could be well into the 90's then. I don't know if I could handle that.

Best wishes to all,
Tina

Welcome!

I'm sure they'll be some fan videos uploaded to various sites and it might even be live-streamed. Fingers crossed. Eyes too!

Stay Tuned!

I think we might know more about it today.

It's now tomorrow. Is there any more information?

Henley's next show in Australia is tomorrow (8th March), he may mention something. More likely, Joe's has a charity concert on Thursday and he's announced, on his website, that he'll be on Craig Ferguson's radio show next week. I expect the "two gigs" topic to come up in conversation.

I guess that the Fleetwood Mac camp have been very quiet on the speculation too

hey guys... I just came across this about FM and the Eagles possibly playing some shows together? I really don't have any belief in it because I believe Don when he said there will be no more Eagles. So why the change of heart? it doesn't sit right with me.

Well, it's happening!! There were naysayers but some of us were able to to read between the lines of all the interviews and put 2 and 2 together and what-not.

What a line-up! Eagles, Steely Dan, and Doobie Brothers the first night!
Fleetwood Mac, Journey, and Earth Wind & Fire the 2nd Night!

I would love to to attend the West Coast dates. Too bad the Eagles and FM are on different days!

I say Rock Away Blind and "welcome the joy!"

July 14-16th looks good for Los Angeles.
July 7th-9th looks good for New York.

Stay Tuned!

Good call, CarolC! The Classic West concert is scheduled for July 15-16 at Dodger Stadium and the Classic East concert is scheduled for July 29-30 at Citi Field, NY.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Bernie will be part of the line-up; that will add some legitimacy to the enterprise.

[Annoying Twit]

Have there been any statements from actual Eagles yet?

[Funk 50]

I'm not too bothered about the authenticity and legitimacy, for me, that has gradually diminished since HFO. I just hope it's a performance that does credit to the Eagles moniker. I think it's all about preparation and set list.

I'm not so sure about Bernie's inclusion. In principle, absolutely but I'm not sure whether his songs would be an asset at a Stadium gig.

It's such an important event, I guess that they'd want to play 75-80 minutes rock, in a 90-100 minute set.
