Hell froze over when The Eagles first reunited dollar rent a car promo code in 1994. Almost two decades later, The Eagles are back on their current The History of The Eagles Tour, which is drawing raves from rocks critics across America and will pitstop in Montreal at the Bell Centre on November 4.
I got a preview of The Eagles' upcoming Montreal show when I attended dollar rent a car promo code their sold-out Ottawa concert at the Canadian Tire Centre (home of the Ottawa Senators) for 18,000 diehard fans this past Monday night (Ottawa is a very big Eagles city).
dollar rent a car promo code Frontman dollar rent a car promo code Glenn Frey did a terrific job regaling the crowd with anecdotes, introducing most of the songs on the 27-track setlist that included all of the hits, including Witchy Woman, Already Gone, One of These Nights and Take It to the Limit , with Glenn Frey singing Randy Meisner's vocals dollar rent a car promo code and explaining to the audience that Meisner isn't well enough to tour yet. But The Eagles former guitarist and co-founder Bernie Leadon (he quit the band in 1975 and last played with them at their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony dollar rent a car promo code in 1998) was back and also in good form.
The staging was simple, from the opening kitchen-style acoustic set, to the no-frills arena-rock show stage with its mood-enhancing video images. And the band was fleshed out with an additional four musicians, including Stuart Smith on guitar.
Then after the Timothy B Schmit hit ballads I Can t Tell You Why and Love Will Keep Us Alive ("I joined the band [in 1977] and less than three years later, it all went to hell – it only took about 14 years to come together again," Schmit said onstage), dollar rent a car promo code the band went into overdrive in the second set.
The encores included Hotel California, Take It Easy and a very soulful Don Henley singing Desperado . In fact, Henley, Frey and Timothy B Schmit were all in very good voice, and Henley and Frey actually seemed to be enjoying each other's company onstage. When the two-and-a-half-hour concert wound down it was also really nice to see Henley, Frey, Leadon, Schmit and Walsh take a final bow together.
In a nutshell, this was a kickass show by a kickass band and 18,000 Ottawa fans stood up (yes, Ottawa!) and screamed their approval. In fact, my fellow dollar rent a car promo code concertgoer, photographer Seb Oran (check out more of her concert photos of The Eagles below), told me it was easily the loudest audience she's witnessed dollar rent a car promo code in Ottawa over the past decade.
