The men, the music and the magic come together again after 28 long years. Following the phenomenal success of their seventh studio album ‘Long Road out of Eden’, American rock band The Eagles have embarked on a world tour to further promote the thrill of their strings among their fans.
The album, which was nearly six years in production, has sold in excess of 2.2 million albums worldwide and has topped the music charts in the UK, Australia, Greece, India, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and Norway, apart from being certified seven times Platinum by the RIAA. Released in October last year, the album debuted at No. 1, with sales of 711,000 units, and in only nine weeks became the biggest selling album by a group in 2007.
After a whirlwind tour of the UK, Sweden and the Netherlands, The Eagles have kicked off their US tour, with performances in TN, MO, WI, IL, MN, TX, MA and OK, with dates stretching into late November, 2008.
From what I hear, The Eagles fan base is as loyal as ever, if not even more yearning for more of Don Henley’s songs and the sting of Walsh’s guitar. To me, listening to The Eagles again is like homecoming — I instantly, rather intuitively, recognize their haunting melody. Truly, ‘you can never leave’ The Eagles!
