Getting hooked up with The Eagles. One day it'll be looked at as being just as American as packing up your mule and heading out west to Oregon. Searching for gold outside of San Fran. Hitting Yellowstone Nat'l Park and thinking, "This needs to be labeled a national treasure."
Musically Glenn Frey and Don Henley are Lewis and Clark. No matter where you leaped onto their trail...pre-Greatest Hits, Hotel California or while You Tubing. One of the core chords attached to the feeding tubes of personal everyday Joe Average lives is and has always been connected to the writing and musical instruments these two men have touched.
I hate to say this but I can't help but believe The Eagles are the last great American band where more than 75% of us know who is and has been a member of the playing field on display.
Bernie Leadon is back to being an Eagle.
Joe Walsh let it slip during an interview.
According to the guitarist...the History of the Eagles Tour has been designed to take Eagles fans through multiple changes.
Walsh also described the intriguing possibility of the band presenting its songs, and its lineup, more or less chronologically. “There’ll be part of the show that doesn’t involve me, but I may come out and play some James Gang stuff as part of the show just to show what I was doing when ‘Witchy Woman’ came out,” he suggested. “We don’t have that down yet.”
As Rolling Stone notes, Leadon was with the Eagles for their productive four-year stretch between 1971-75, leaving because, as he put it in 2008, “I just wanted some time to regroup. I suggested we take some time off. They weren’t excited about that idea.”
Whatever happens, we’ll see who’s in the lineup on July 6, when the History of the Eagles Tour is scheduled to kick off in Louisville, Ky
