Anyone a fan? I've loved them since I was a kid. I'd like to see them live, but not with their prices. "Hotel California" is definitely one of the greatest albums of all time and, IMO, a masterpiece.

    This is an odd band for me. As a whole, I really don't care for them (and really, I'm trying to be nice here). And yet a small handful of their songs/covers are great- "Take it Easy", "Lyin' Eyes", Already Gone". What really turned me off to them though was when one of their members described Neil Young and Crazy Horses' great album, "Ragged Glory" as a bunch of guys performing a sound check (or something to that effect). I'll be listening to R.G. for a long, long time and will have forgotten about The Eagles... until the next time I hear one of their songs in the grocery store.

    I'm a fan, but I must say they were the most boring band live when I saw them in '04. I remember there were painfully long pauses between every song.

    Both very good songs. Every time I hear "Witchy Woman", I think of Seinfeld.

    I am kinda lukewarm with them, although one of their songs is in my top 15: The Last Resort

    I had the pleasure of seeing them during the Farewell I tour and it was definitely one of the best shows I've ever seen. All the classic Eagles tunes plus the guys pulled out their solo hits.

    While I would urge you not to skip a chance to see them I do realize the steepness or their tickets and I'm sure they are higher priced now than they were several years ago.

    So, I would suggest you go out and pick up the Farewell I Tour dvd, find a great surround sound system, grab a 12-pack and enjoy.
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    I've been thinking of getting that to watch. I've seen clips on YouTube. We have surround sound to use. My dad has "Hell Freezes Over" on VHS and we've enjoyed that many times. I know he would enjoy the Farewell 1 Tour DVD because every time we're at the store, he's always looking at it.

    This was a band to scratch off one of my best friend's bucket list. Got shut out on the cheap seats and ended up going and buying nose bleeds from a scalper for like 70 bucks a piece. Face was $85. We could see everything fine, and their sound is crystal clear and they played for 3 hours. I have always been a casual Eagles fan, but loved the live show, so I'm more into them now. Been listening to them alot more.

    They do play solo stuff too. I have always wanted to hear Joe Walsh do "Lifes been good" and I got my wish. My Jaw hit the floor man! :P Wasn't expecting them to bust into solo stuff, but their show was very, very good. I do have a friend who has met Don Henley twice, and has said he is not very fan friendly. total bummer to hear, but they put on a great show.
