Half a grand for a ticket?  WTF????  £50 was plenty when I saw them at Hampden 18 years ago and that would be more than enough today too.  They're not even all there anymore.

WOY

Saw them last time they played Wembly, absolutely superb. Glenn Frey's son Deacon taking his place. and the incrediable voice of Vince Gill.

I don't know the cost, I was/am a massive fan, and it was a birthday gift.

Aye, big Eagles fan here too, Foxy.  Not heard them in ages.

Saw them in 76, Stafford Bingley Hall, brilliant sounded just the same live as they did on record, only about £5/10 then!

It's difficult for a 'traditionalist' to admit this but Vince Gill has brought a new dimension to them which I would not have previously thought possible, he can sing anything, in lots of different keys with ease, Deacon frey sounds just like his dad.

Cheer for that.  I'll check them out.  Not at Wembley though

I sang with a group in Bermuda whilst on holiday. At the interval the lead singer came to talk to me asking how I knew ever word to every song they had done up to that point "are you a singer" I jockingly said I have been accused of that in the past, lol, "would you like to do a number"

My ex was answering for me yes,he's great she was a tad biased, I sad ok you have covered a lot of Eagles stuff tonight but not Lying Eyes, It's easy peasy and the crowd loved the others, At this A cruise ship had docked in the and the place became packed, I could see the panic in his eyes as the place was half empty when he made the, but it's packed no fck ups allowed! "Do you know all the words" of course, "it's a very long song" yes 6 minutes and 22 seconds, he called me up first song after the break as soon as I sang the first line his shoulders dropped he relaxed and a big grin followed I know he was  thinking thank fck for that, the govenor came over "what you like on the house"

Soz I was interruped again,I did do what some might a cheat, by mimicking Frey's vocals, I'ts such an Iconic song that guys can't 'try to make it their own', it simply doesn't work.

Cue incoming from the 'haters'

*6.22 album version.

Brilliant boxingthefox. Lovely story. I'm also a big fan of them.

aaah memories bigmo that was 2008. I had 'retired' from singing publicly at that point.
