Id pay more to see Joe Walsh alone than with the rest of the band ,which i wouldnt pay to see.They dont seem to have done anything really new sounding scince HC. Just my opinion fwiw. Jim

They have a new album out, though I have not yet heard it so can't comment. I could sit there all evening myself and listen to everything up to HC and be very happy.

I heard one track from the new album. It was a Joe Walsh lead vocal.
Some about "guilty of Loving you baby".
Good track.
I think it's worth it to see the Eagles but I'm a bit of a sticker shock victim when it comes to concert prices these days.
I think I'd just as soon buy the Hell Freezes Over DVD which contains some brilliant performances IMO.
The new album is only available at Walmart for the first year.....I bought it the other week, there is some lovely stuff on there.
I've always loved Joe Walsh's solo in "The Girl From Yesterday". Simple and perfect for the song. It almost makes me want to buy a Telecaster.

I have the farewell tour I concert DVD and I must say its the nicest concert DVD I own. They sound absolutely fantastic live. The band is as tight as anything I have ever heard

+ one on that Milkman, although I did see the original Hell Freezes over tour at Exhibition Stadium and have to say it was really awe inspiring to hear 40,000+ people singing lyin eyes. I think at the time tix were $85.00

They're playing Moncton Aug 2nd. Tickets went on sale last week, not through ticketmaster though. I think it's now sold out.
They were $120 or so for the GA tickets when I checked.

Man, I hope to get a chance to see them again! I have 2 daughters (18 and 20 years old) who I promised to take to see the band if they come to Vancouver. As for the nay-sayers that don't care for the Eagles all that much, I don't get it. Their newer albums have been as good as their older ones in my opinion, and the new one, Long Road Out Of Eden, is a great-sounding album of diverse styles. I listened to both discs non-stop for a couple weeks when it first came out, and enjoy all of it except for maybe 2 songs, which are now starting to grow on me too.

I see the Eagles have added a second show at the ACC and the first show does not even go on sale to the GP until tomorrow. First show is going to sell out fast anyway.

In my opinon the Eagles are one of the best sounding live acts on the planet, past or present.
Having watched the "Hell Freezes Over" DVD several times, I'm envious of anyone who is priveledged enough to see them live.
What an amazing group!
Love Will Keep Us Alive is one of my favourites.

I've not been to an Eagles show, but I saw Dire Straights when they were touring Brothers in Arms. My hearing was much better then, and that was the best sounding show I've ever experienced. Four nights in a row, front row center, at the long gone Varsity Arena on the U of T campus. I knew people who knew people back then.
If I had to pick an Eagles song.....The Girl From Yesterday, with Joe Walsh's absolutely-perfect-for-the-song guitar solo would be mine.

I've been to a lot of concerts ina lot of different type venues and I would have to agree that sound wise, that one last night rates up there very close to number 1.
