Saw The Eagles last night in Raleigh

[Pequeño Corey]

They crushed it. Played all the bangers. Glen Frey’s son sang some of his father’s songs and killed it. Joe Walsh is a corpse, but he still killed it on guitar. Don Henley is still an absolute savage. I know this will sound hyperbolic, but The Eagles are the best American rock band of all time, imo.

 

[Streeter]

Won't say they are the best but definitely worth seeing and yeah Henley csn still sing great. Always a great show

 

[TardStrong]

Love it!

Not to be hyperbolic, but I’m asking myself are they the biggest American rock band of all time?

"Not to be hyperbolic" then goes full Joe Rogan.

 

[Long Dark Blues]

Nice.

Glad to hear you had a good time, TS.

Who’s bigger? Serious question.

I would put Metallica right there and Aerosmith as well. Eagles definitely on highest level

 

[Pequeño Corey]

I did. Best concert since I seen the Chilis in 2010. I was blown away. Honestly, in my top 5, along with Radiohead circa In Rainbows era. They sobered up and just sent it. Epic.

Never got to see Aero, but Metallica blew my mind in early 00’s. They played the bangers, including the deep cuts like whiplash and blackened. So good.

I saw them on the last tour before Glen died. They were awesome. I loved how stripped down and simple it was despite being in a sold out 20,000 seat arena. No big stage show, just a basic setup with a few big screens. Even the intro was just like "ladies and gentlemen, The Eagles!" and they just meandered out waving to everyone dressed like they were going to a cookout. Then they picked up their guitars and turned into rock gods in front of your very eyes. Deosn't matter that you've heard it a thousand times, the Hotel California solo live will give you chills.

Not so much an eagles fan, but grew up with Don.
One of my favorites for sure.

I remember watching this on PBS as a kid and thought it was amazing. Still amazing.

Nailed it. The vocal harmonies and combined sound was just magical. I’m 40, student of rock, and I’ve never seen anything like it.

Great night for ya, classic rock for sure!

They perfected the "live sounds like or better than the studio version". Kudos to the live sound engineers and the entire production.

They didn't do Seven Bridges Road though which I was disappointed by. I do imagine that's such an impossible song to do live though. My only complaint about the night.

I remember it was such a masterful setlist. They stated slow with a lot of early work and Take It Easy type songs for about an hour to get warmed up. Then they really got in the pocket with Fast Lane, Those Shoes, Already Gone etc and they just killed for another 90 minutes. The energy in the room was so good. I was 30 at that time so I was the youngest person there by about 20 years lol but you could feel everyone recapturing their memories to the music, it was awesome.

Not many bands can do that. I’m always pleasantly surprised when a band sounds better live than the studio
