The Eagles to Perform Entire “Hotel California” Album on Upcoming US Tour
Rock legends The Eagles will start off their 2020 North American tour consisting of 6 cities next year in February.
The classic rock band announced they will play their iconic album it its entirety, with an additional set of the band’s greatest hits.
Released in 1976, Hotel California has become the Eagles’ third best-selling album of all time in the United States. The LP’s title track earned them a Grammy in 1977 for Record of the Year.
Now, American fans will have the opportunity to hear number one hits from this album live. This includes “Hotel California” and “New Kid in Town” as well as “Life in the Fast Lane,” and many more.
The group’s current lineup, which includes Eagles co-founder Don Henley, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit and Glenn Frey’s son Deacon, came together in 2017, one year after Glenn Frey’s death.
Earlier this year they visited Europe and Oceania and performed 3 sold-out shows in Las Vegas.
The Vegas shows featured 77 musicians, including a 46-piece orchestra and 22-member choir. This was the first time in this band’s history that they played the full Hotel California album in a oncert.
Billboard magazine praised the first gig:
“With no exception, the songs have aged well, but how could they fail with the Eagles’ five-part harmony and five guitar-approach…”
“(Henley’s) voice sounded as strong and pliant as it ever has, easily hitting the highest of notes, while retaining his trademark huskiness.”
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees will travel to Atlanta, New York, Dallas, Houston, San Francisco, and lastly, Los Angeles.
The tickets for the 12 concerts will go on sale on Oct.18 and you will be able to get them by clicking on this link.
