We saw them at Reading in 1979, around the time of their 2nd album, Flirtin' With Disaster... (not my photo, unfortunately)

The songs sounded the same, Bobby Ingram has been with the band since 1986, when Danny Joe Brown was still lead singer.
Very cool to have seen them back in the day. And Whitesnake, when they were a proper rock band, with the Marsden and Moody line up.
Yes that was a memorable gig/festival for us as it was our first Reading Festival (we went to Led Zep at Knebworth a few weeks before that but that was only one day and needless too say, is a tad more memorable
Wonder why Thin Lizzy cancelled the gig. That would have been the Black Rose Tour. Phil and Scott were starting to use heroin around that time.

Thanks Steve. It's one my big regrets, not seeing (the) Eagles back in their heyday, when it would have been a tad cheaper tooSteve wrote: ↑Thu Jan 25, 24 1:37 pm Been a few times over the years, not the same without Don Felder and Glenn Frey. The Hell Freezes Over show at Wembley Stadium was superb.
Always preferred Don Henleys solo stuff, his 1990 'End of the Innocence' Tour was far better than any of the Eagles shows Ive been to. His 'Cass County' Tour was very good but the venue in Manchester wasnt. Sterile and devoid of atmosphere.
If you are interested, there is a great 2 part documentary out on the Eagles (Netflix did have it) and an excellent Don Henley Q&A with Billy Joel on Youtube. He really knows his music history, impressive.
If you fancy a reasonably priced, very professional tribute, try Talon. They are musically very good. Only critisism is they dont use the bass player enough for vocals. He sounds just like Don Henley. The main lead vocal fella is good but can be a bit 'cruise ship' at times.
Enjoy if you are going![]()
