The Eagles performed at the Nassau Coliseum on a Sunday night in April, 2005 and I believe my wife and I sat to the right of the stage for this one, while at the same time my buddy Sandy and his wife sat across from us in a similar location to the left of the stage. Like most Eagles concerts that I have attended, the great guitarist Joe Walsh pretty much took over the show by the end of the evening with his arena ready solo rock anthems to kick the tempo up a notch. I have seen the Eagles a number of times through the years, and the band’s line up has transformed for a variety of reasons over time. It is hard to argue against the Eagles being one of the greatest rock and roll acts of all time, with my wife being a bigger fan of them than I have been, and it has always been an enjoyable night out when we have had the opportunity to catch them on the road. We last saw them at UBS arena for what was supposed to be unofficially the “final” world” tour but I believe they may still be continuing a Vegas residency at the Sphere (as is Dead and Company) so who knows of it was really the last time we see the Eagles perform live in concert. Hell, even Gene Simmons is going back on the road with his solo band; never say never (as Peter Frampton also reminded us).

The Last Resort

Rock on!
