The Eagles Reunite for Hell Freezes Over Tour REDDIT Rick Diamond, Getty Images Twenty-two years ago today (May 27, 1994), the Eagles reunited for the first time in 14 years to kick off their Hell Freezes Over Tour at Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre in Irvine, Calif. — and it was at least partly thanks to a country star. The Eagles split up in 1980, following the release of their Eagles Live album. The band’s members, including Glenn Frey , Don Felder and Don Henley , had been at odds with each other since their 1979 album, The Long Run, but were contractually obligated to their record company, Elektra Records, to record one final live album before they could disband. Unfortunately, by that time, Frey and Henley were unable to even be in the same room together, so they recorded their vocals in different studios, located in different states even. But while the “Hotel California” singers were ready to walk away from their record-breaking career, their fans weren’t as willing to let them go.

In 1993, several country artists — including Trisha Yearwood , Diamond Rio , Alan Jackson , Tanya Tucker and Travis Tritt — recorded an Eagles tribute album, Common Thread: The Songs of the Eagles. The record, which features some of the band’s biggest hits, such as “Peaceful Easy Feeling,” “I Can’t Tell You Why,” “Heartache Tonight” and “Best of My Love,” soared to the top of the charts and sold more than 3 million units. Tritt covered the Eagles’ debut single, “Take It Easy,” and asked the band to appear in his video for the tune. It was the first time the group had been together in 13 years, and it served as the impetus for the group members to consider a reunion. Only two months later, Frey and Henley had lunch with their management and agreed to formally reunite. They performed live for the first time in April, at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, Calif., where they shot The Eagles: Hell Freezes Over — given its name because Henley was known for saying after their split that the band would get back together “when hell freezes over” — for an MTV special.

The Eagles kicked off their Hell Freezes Over Tour on May 27 and spent most of the next two years on the trek, performing some of their most beloved tunes, including “Tequila Sunrise” and “Lyin’ Eyes.” Their live Hell Freezes Over album was released on Nov. 8, 1994, and includes the No. 1 hit “Love Will Keep Us Alive.” Following Hell Freezes Over, the Eagles remained a touring and recording band and released several more albums, including 2003’s The Very Best Of, which sold more than 5 million units in the United States, and a double studio album, Long Road Out of Eden, in 2007. Felder spent seven more years with the group before he was fired from the band in 2001. Sadly, on Jan. 18, 2016, Frey died due to to complications from rheumatoid arthritis, acute ulcerative colitis and pneumonia. Henley has since said that his friend and bandmate’s death effectively ended the Eagles’ career .

Source: Wikipedia Added by: John Related Topics The Story of the Eagles' Reunion Record, 'Hell Freezes Over' Subscribe to Ultimate Classic Rock on The Eagles ‘ first reunion tour was a major shock to music fans who never thought they would play together again. But their next step was more in line with what every other band has done in such a situation. On Nov. 8, 1994, they released Hell Freezes Over. The initial end of the band came with an epic meltdown at a show in Long Beach, Calif. – often referred to as the “Long Night at Wrong Beach” – on July 31, 1980, when Don Felder and Glenn Frey almost came to physical blows. Frey took issue with Felder’s reply to Sen. Alan Cranston with, “You’re welcome …I guess,” after he was thanked for agreeing to perform a show in his honor.

Though they kept it quiet for many months afterward, the Eagles were done. Don Henley was categorical, citing the old adage that the band would get back together “when hell freezes over.” Speaking to People in 1982, Frey remarked, “I just rule out the possibility of putting the Eagles back together for a Lost Youth and Greed tour.” Time, as the old saying goes, can heal all wounds. Four months after appearing in the video for Travis Tritt ‘s cover of “Take It Easy,” Henley, Frey, Felder, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit agreed to perform live together for the first time in 14 years. A film studio in Burbank, Calif., was booked and over two days in April 1994, the Eagles recorded an MTV special, which resulted in the 11 live tracks found on Hell Freezes Over. The album contained fresh takes on their classics, which included recasting “Hotel California” with acoustic guitars and Latin percussion.

But the icing on the cake was the inclusion of four new studio songs: “Get Over It,” “Love Will Keep Us Alive,” “The Girl From Yesterday” and “Learn to Be Still.” Timed perfectly to coincide with the holiday season, the project ended up being a huge success, topping the chart for two weeks. Ultimately, the album sold more than nine million copies, and the video, which had live versions of the new songs, racked up an extra 800,000. “Get Over It,” “Love Will Keep Us Alive” and “Learn to Be Still” received considerable airplay at Top 40, Mainstream Rock and Adult Contemporary radio, and “The Girl From Yesterday” reached the country charts. The tour, which began a month after the special was recorded, ended up becoming one of the most notable and financially successful in the history of rock music. Over three years, from 1994-96, the band played 160 shows across the world, setting box office records at nearly every stop along the way.

One of the most notable tracks is a new arrangement of "Hotel California" that features an extended acoustic guitar and percussion opening. At the beginning of the concert, Glenn Frey joked to the audience: "For the record, we never broke up; we just took a 14-year vacation." The new song "Get Over It" became a modest hit, and another new song, "Love Will Keep Us Alive", reached #1 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. The DVD is one of the first music releases to feature a DTS format soundtrack in addition to a PCM stereo soundtrack. The DVD also featured the song "Seven Bridges Road" in DTS audio only. The DVD has since been re-released with an additional Dolby Digital soundtrack. The album has also been released as DTS CD in 1997.

With five number one singles, six Grammies, five American Music Awards, and six number one albums, the Eagles were one of the most successful musical acts of the 1970s. At the end of the 20th century, two of their albums, Their Greatest Hits (1971â1975) and Hotel California, ranked among the 20 best-selling albums in the U.S. according to the Recording Industry Association of America. Hotel California is ranked 37th in Rolling Stones 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, and the band was ranked #75 on the magazine's 2004 list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. They also have the best selling album in the U.S. with Their Greatest Hits (1971â1975), which sold more than 29 million copies. They have sold over 120 million albums worldwide and 100 million in the U.S. alone. They are the fifth highest selling music act in U.S. history and the highest selling American band in U.S. history.

No other American band sold more than the Eagles during the 1970s. The Eagles released their self titled debut album in 1972 which spawned three Top 40 singles, "Take It Easy", "Witchy Woman", and "Peaceful Easy Feeling". They followed up the success of their debut album with Desperado in 1973. The album was less successful than the first, reaching only #41 on the charts and neither of its two singles reached the Top 40. However, the album contained two of the bands most popular and beloved tracks, "Desperado" and "Tequila Sunrise". They released On The Border in 1974 and added guitarist Don Felder midway through the recording of the album. The album released two Top 40 singles, "Already Gone" and their first chart topper, "Best Of My Love". It was not until 1975's One Of These Nights, though, that the Eagles became America's biggest band. The album released three Top 10 singles, "One Of These Nights", "Lyin' Eyes", and "Take It To The Limit".

They continued with that success in late 1976 with the release of Hotel California, which would go on to sell over 16 million copies in the U.S. alone. The album yielded three Top 20 singles, "New Kid In Town", "Hotel California", and "Life In The Fast Lane". They released their last studio album for nearly 28 years in 1979 with The Long Run. The album displayed that the Eagles were still at the top of their popularity at the time of their breakup and the album released three Top 10 singles, "Heartache Tonight", "The Long Run", and "I Can't Tell You Why". The Eagles broke up in July 1980, but reunited in 1994 for Hell Freezes Over, a mix of live and new studio tracks. They have toured intermittently since then and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. In 2007, the Eagles released Long Road out of Eden, their first full studio album in 28 years. The album would top the album charts, release five singles on the Adult Contemporary Charts and win the band two Grammies.

The next year they launched The Long Road out of Eden Tour in support of the album. Formation and original members The band began to form when Linda Ronstadt and then-manager John Boylan recruited session musicians Glenn Frey and Don Henley in the spring of 1971.http Randy Meisner and Bernie Leadon would join her group of performers by the summer tour. The original Eagles would play only once together as a live unit backing Ronstadt (for a July concert at Disneyland), but all four appeared on her eponymous 1971 album.. AllMusic. Retrieved on 2010-11-28. After their tenure with Ronstadt and with her encouragement, they decided to form their own band, signing with Asylum Records, the new label started by David Geffen. Geffen and partner Elliot Roberts also initially managed the band. Eagles (1972) Eagles1972.jpgleftthumb150pxEagles in 1972 (l-r) Leadon, Meisner, Henley, Frey.

The group's eponymous debut album was recorded in England in February 1972 with producer Glyn Johns and released on June 17, 1972. Eagles was a breakthrough success, yielding three Top 40 singles. The first single and lead track, "Take It Easy", was a song written by Glenn Frey and his neighbor and fellow country-folk rocker Jackson Browne. Browne had written the majority of the song, up until the line "I'm standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona, such a fine sight to see", where he was then stalled. Frey added the next line, and Browne continued to finish the rest of the song. The song reached #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and propelled the Eagles to stardom. The single was followed by the bluesy "Witchy Woman" and the soft country rock ballad "Peaceful Easy Feeling", charting at #9 and #22 respectively. The Eagles were a major force in popularizing the Southern California country rock sound. Rolling Stone magazine's 2003 list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" ranked Eagles at number 374.

Desperado (1973) Deperado3.jpgrightthumb150pxEagles playing dead on back cover of Desperado photographed by Henry Diltz. (The two additional "bodies" are J.D. Souther and Jackson Browne .) Their second album, Desperado, was themed on Old West outlaws, drawing comparisons between their lifestyles and the lifestyles of modern rock stars. This album introduced the group's penchant for conceptual songwriting. It was during the recording sessions that Don Henley and Glenn Frey began writing with each other, co-writing 8 of the album's 11 songs, including two of the group's most popular songs: "Tequila Sunrise" and "Desperado". The bluegrass songs "Twenty-One," "Doolin-Dalton" and the ballad "Saturday Night" showcased guitarist Bernie Leadon's abilities on the banjo, guitar and mandolin. Throughout the album, the story of the notorious Wild West "Doolin-Dalton" gang was the main focus, featuring in the songs "Doolin-Dalton," "Bittercreek" and "Desperado".

The album was less successful than the first, reaching only #41 on the US pop album charts, and yielding only 2 singles, "Tequila Sunrise", which reached #61 on the Billboard charts, and "Outlaw Man", which peaked at #59. The album marked a significant change to the band, with Henley and Frey co-writing the bulk of the album, a pattern that would continue for years to come. Subsequently, the pair began to dominate the band in terms of leadership and songwriting, turning the focus of the band away from Leadon and Meisner despite early presumptions that it would be Leadon and Meisner who would steer the band. On the Border (1974) For their next album, On the Border, Henley and Frey wanted the band to break away from the country music style they were known for, moving more towards hard rock. Initially, the Eagles started off with Glyn Johns producing, but he tended to emphasize the lush side of their double-edged music. After completing only two songs, the band turned to Bill Szymczyk to produce the rest of the album.

Szymczyk brought in Don Felder to add slide guitar to a song called "Good Day in Hell", and the band was so impressed that two days later they invited Felder to become the fifth Eagle. He appeared on only one other song on the album, the uptempo breakup song "Already Gone", where he performed the guitar duet with Glenn Frey. On the Border yielded a No. 1 Billboard single ("Best of My Love"), which hit the top of the charts on March 1, 1975, becoming the Eagles' first of five chart toppers."Already Gone" was also successful, reaching #32 on the charts and showcasing the harder edge of the band's new sound with the addition of Felder. The album also featured a cover version of Tom Waits "Ol'55" and the single "James Dean" which reached #77 on the charts. The band also played at the famous California Jam festival in Ontario, California on April 6, 1974.

Attracting over 200,000 fans, appearing alongside 70's rock giants Black Sabbath, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Deep Purple, Earth, Wind & Fire, Seals & Crofts, Black Oak Arkansas, and Rare Earth. Portions of the show were telecast on ABC Television in the US, exposing the band to a wider audience. One of These Nights (1975) The Eagles released their fourth studio album, One of These Nights, on June 10, 1975. It was their last album to feature founding member Bernie Leadon, who would leave the group during the One of These Nights tour. Leadon was disillusioned with the direction the band's music was going. Leadon co-wrote two songs on the album, "I Wish You Peace," which he wrote with Patti Davis (daughter of future president Ronald Reagan and Nancy Davis Reagan), and sang lead vocals on. He also wrote the instrumental, "Journey of the Sorceror." Leadon would be replaced by guitarist Joe Walsh, who had previously been with the James Gang and Barnstorm bands, as well as a solo artist in his own right.

With the departure of Leadon, the Eagles' early country sound almost completely disappeared and the band moved on to a harder sound with the addition of Felder and later Walsh. The album would prove to be a breakthrough album for the band, making them international superstars. It would also begin a string of four consecutive No. 1 albums. It also further displayed the dominant songwriting partnership of Don Henley and Glenn Frey. The first single from the album was the title track, which became the second straight single for the band to top the charts. The song has been noted by Frey as his all time favorite Eagles tune. The second single would be "Lyin' Eyes", the single reached No. 2 on the charts and won the band its first Grammy for "Best Pop Performance by a duo or group with vocal". The third and final single would be "Take It to the Limit," which was written by Randy Meisner, Don Henley, and Glenn Frey. It features Meisner on lead vocals and reached No. 4 on the charts, it would also become the Eagles' first single to be certified gold. The album also features the live staple "After The Thrill Is Gone".

The band launched a huge worldwide tour to support the album. It would eventually be nominated for album of the year. In early 1976, the band released their first compilation album, Their Greatest Hits, 1971-1975. The album would go on to become the highest selling album in U.S. history with over 29 million copies sold in the U.S. alone and over 42 million copies worldwide. It also cemented their status as the most successful American band of the decade. Hotel California (1976â1978) htelcal.jpgrightthumb150pxBand photo on inner sleeve of Hotel California album. (l-r) Meisner, Frey, Walsh, Henley, Felder. Hotel California would be released on December 8, 1976 as the band's fifth studio album and the first album to feature Joe Walsh, who replaced Leadon after One of These Nights. The album took a year and a half to make, a process which along with touring, drained the band.

Hotel California is also the last album to feature founding member Randy Meisner, who would leave the band after the album to return to his native Nebraska and be with his family. He would eventually launch a solo career. His biggest contribution to the album would be the track "Try and Love Again", which he wrote and sang lead vocals on. He would be replaced by the same man who replaced him in Poco, Timothy B. Schmit. The album's first single was "New Kid in Town," which became the Eagles' third No. 1 single. The second single was the title track, which also topped the charts in February 1977. The song became the Eagles' signature song and is considered by many to be one of the greatest rock songs of all time. It featured Henley on lead vocals, and the famous guitar duet at the end of the song was performed by Don Felder and Joe Walsh. The song was written by Felder, Henley and Frey. Felder wrote all the music to the song. The song is also known for its mysterious lyrics and has been interpreted in many ways in the past, some often controversial.

Told during a 60 Minutes interview (November 25, 2007) that "everyone wants to know what this song means," Don Henley replied, "I know, it's so boring . . . It's basically a song about the dark underbelly of the American Dream, and about excess in America, which was something we knew about." "Life in the Fast Lane" was also a major success, establishing Joe Walsh's position in the band with its more hard rock sound. It would be the third and final single from Hotel California and reached No. 11 on the charts. The ballad "Wasted Time" closed the first side of the album, while an instrumental reprise of it opened the second side. The album concluded with "The Last Resort", the song Frey, to this day, refers to as Don Henley's greatest work. The run-out groove on side two has the words "V.O.L. Is Five-Piece Live"; this means that the song "Victim of Love" was recorded live, with just the band and no overdubbing. Don Henley confirms this on the inner booklet of The Very Best of Eagles.

Hotel California has appeared on several lists of the best albums of all time. It is also their best-selling studio album, with over 16 million copies sold to date in the U.S. The album would also win the band two more Grammys for "Record of the year" (Hotel California) and "Best arrangement for voices" (New Kid in Town). Hotel California topped the charts and was nominated for Album of the Year in the 1977 Grammys, but lost to Fleetwood Mac's Rumours. Nonetheless, the album further established the Eagles as America's number one band and made the Eagles household names. To support the album, the Eagles would go on another huge worldwide tour that further drained the band members and strained their personal and creative relationships. In 1977, the group, minus Don Felder, performed some instrumental work and backing vocals for Randy Newman's album Little Criminals, including the controversial surprise hit "Short People" which has backing vocals by Frey and Schmit. The Long Run and breakup (1979â1980) In 1977, the Eagles went into a recording studio to produce their next studio album, The Long Run.

The album took two years to make, and was originally intended to be a double album but the band members were unable to come up with enough songs. The Long Run was released on September 24, 1979 to great success. Though considered a disappointment by some critics for failing to live up to Hotel California, it proved a huge commercial hit nonetheless. The album topped the charts and sold 7 million copies. In addition, it released three Top 10 singles, "Heartache Tonight" became their last single to top the charts on November 10, 1979. The title track and "I Can't Tell You Why" (the latter introducing new member Timothy B. Schmit), both reached #8 respectively. The band also won their fourth Grammy for "Heartache Tonight". "In The City" by Joe Walsh and "The Sad Cafe" both became live staples. While recording the album, the band also recorded two Christmas singles in 1978, "Please Come Home For Christmas" and "Funky New Year". "Please Come Home For Christmas" was released as a single in 1978 and reached #18 on the charts.

The Eagles also contributed to Boz Scaggs' hit single "Look What You've Done to Me", the love theme from the 1980 film Urban Cowboy, and featured on its soundtrack. The Eagles helped Scaggs re-record certain vocals for "Look What You've Done to Me" so that his most recent hit could be included on his greatest hits album. The soundtrack album was released by Elektra, who would not license Scaggs' original mix to Columbia for his Hits! album. The Eagles' work for Scaggs was perhaps a favor to their manager Irving Azoff who was also the producer of Urban Cowboy. The version of "Look What You've Done to Me" that was featured in the movie and soundtrack album uses a female chorus instead of the Eagles' background vocals. However, the Eagles' 1975 hit "Lyin' Eyes" was featured in the movie. On July 31, 1980, in Long Beach, California, tempers boiled over into what has been described as "Long Night at Wrong Beach." Frey and Felder spent the entire show describing to each other the beating each planned to administer backstage.

"Only three more songs until I kick your ass, pal," Frey recalls Felder telling him near the end of the band's set. Felder recalls Frey making a similar threat to him during "Best of My Love." It appeared to be the end of the Eagles, although the band still owed Elektra a live record from the tour. Eagles Live (released in November 1980) was mixed by Frey and Henley on opposite coasts; the two decided they could not bear to be in the same state, let alone the same studio, and as Bill Szymczyk put it, "The record's perfect three-part harmonies were fixed courtesy of Federal Express." With credits that listed no fewer than five attorneys, the album's liner notes simply said, "Thank you and goodnight". The album released a single though, "Seven Bridges Road" a live concert staple for the band, written by Steve Young in an arrangement created by Ian Matthews for his "Vally Hi" album in 1973. The song reached #21 on the charts in 1980, becoming their last Top 40 single until 1994.

Breakup years (1980â1994) After the breakup of the Eagles, each ex-member tried his hand in a solo career. Joe Walsh had already established himself as a solo artist in the 1970s before and during his time with the Eagles, but it was uncharted waters for the others. Joe Walsh released a successful album in 1981, There Goes the Neighborhood , but subsequent albums throughout the 1980s, such as Got Any Gum? were less well-received. During this time Walsh also performed as a session musician for Dan Fogelberg, Steve Winwood, Richard Marx and Emerson, Lake & Palmer, among others, and produced and co-wrote Ringo Starr's Old Wave album. Don Henley achieved the greatest commercial solo success of any former Eagle. In 1982, he released I Can't Stand Still, featuring the hit "Dirty Laundry".

This album would pale in comparison to his next release, 1984's smash, Building the Perfect Beast which featured Billboard #5 hit and classic rock radio staples, "The Boys of Summer", "All She Wants to Do Is Dance (#9)," "Not Enough Love in the World" (#34), and "Sunset Grill" (#22). Henley would not release another album for five years until 1989's The End of the Innocence. This album was also a major success and included the hits "The End of the Innocence", "The Last Worthless Evening" and "The Heart of the Matter". His solo career was cut short due to a contract dispute with his record company, finally resolved when the Eagles reunited in 1994. Glenn Frey also found solo success in the 1980s. In 1982, he released his first album, No Fun Aloud, which spawned the #15 hit, "The One You Love".

He followed this album with 1984's The Allnighter, which featured the #20 hit "Sexy Girl." He reached #2 on the charts with "The Heat Is On" from the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack. He had another #2 single in 1985 with "You Belong to the City" from the Miami Vice soundtrack, which featured another Frey song, "Smuggler's Blues". He also contributed the songs "Flip City" to the Ghostbusters II soundtrack and "Part of Me, Part of You" to the soundtrack for Thelma and Louise. In 1982, former music writer turned filmmaker Cameron Crowe saw his first screenplay turn into a feature length movie, Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Crowe was a fan and had written articles about Poco and the Eagles. The film was co-produced by the Eagles' manager Irving Azoff, who also co-produced the soundtrack album released by the Eagles' long-time record label Elektra, which also owned the rights to solo albums from each member of the Eagles (though several of them would move to different labels in ensuing years).

Henley, Walsh, Schmit, and Felder all contributed solo songs to the film's soundtrack. In addition, the band playing the dance toward the end of the movie covers Life in the Fast Lane. Don Felder also released a solo album, and contributed two songs to the soundtrack of the movie Heavy Metal: "Heavy Metal (Takin' a Ride)" (with Henley and Schmit providing backing vocals) and "All of You". He also had a minor hit called "Bad Girls" off his solo effort Airborne. Timothy B. Schmit was quite busy during the band's "fourteen year vacation". Schmit had a hit song on the Fast Times at Ridgemont High soundtrack with "So Much in Love". Schmit and his wife were invited to Hawaii so that Schmit could contribute vocals to the Crosby, Stills & Nash album Daylight Again. CSN needed an extra vocalist due to Crosby's drug overindulgence. Schmit contributed vocals to at least half of the album, including the hits "Southern Cross" and "Wasted on the Way". He also sang backing vocals on Toto's Toto IV album, including a featured role in their hit song "I Won't Hold You Back".

Schmit appeared as a backing vocalist on Toto's 1982 European tour. Schmit also spent three years (1983â1985) as a member of Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefer band and coined the term "Parrotheads" for Buffett's die-hard fans. He had a Top 40 solo hit in 1987 with "Boys' Night Out" and also a top-30 Adult Contemporary hit with "Don't Give Up", both from his album Timothy B. Schmit appeared with former Eagles Randy Meisner and Joe Walsh on Richard Marx's debut hit "Don't Mean Nothing", a song which was co-written by Bruce Gaitsch who also co-wrote and engineered Schmit's Timothy B. album. Schmit toured with Warren Zevon in 1988. In 1992, Schmit toured along side his former Eagles bandmate Joe Walsh as members of Ringo Starr's All-Starr Band and appeared on the live video from the Montreux Jazz Festival.

Also in 1992â1993, Schmit attempted to put together a band with Don Felder, Paul Carrack and Jim Capaldi. The venture was ultimately unsuccessful, however a song from that effort "Love Will Keep Us Alive" was later resurrected by Schmit for the Eagles' reunion album Hell Freezes Over. In 1993, Schmit toured with Dan Fogelberg, playing bass and contributing backing vocals. Some of the live recordings from that tour were featured on Fogelberg's 2000 album Live: Something Old New Borrowed...and Some Blues. Schmit also released solo albums Playin' It Cool in 1984 and Tell Me the Truth in 1990. Schmit was the only Eagle to appear on the 1993 Eagles tribute album Common Thread: The Songs of the Eagles, singing backing vocals on Vince Gill's cover of his hit song "I Can't Tell You Why". He can also be heard contributing backing vocals on the soundtrack of the Johnny Depp film "Cry Baby" directed by John Waters.

Schmit harmonizes on a cover of "Sh-Boom" performed by the crew-cutted Squares early in the film. Randy Meisner had a #14 hit with the song "Hearts on Fire" in 1981. Reunion (1994âpresent) Hell Freezes Over (1994â1999) Fourteen years after the breakup, an Eagles country tribute album titled Common Thread: The Songs of the Eagles was released in 1993. Travis Tritt insisted on having the Long Run-era Eagles in his video for "Take It Easy" and they agreed. After the "Take It Easy" video was completed the following year, and following years of public speculation, the band finally formally reunited. The lineup comprised the five Long Run-era members â Frey, Henley, Walsh, Felder and Schmit â supplemented by additional musicians: Scott Crago (drums), John Corey (keyboards, guitar, backing vocals), Timothy Drury (keyboards, guitar, backing vocals) and Al Garth (sax, violin) on stage.

"For the record, we never broke up, we just took a 14-year vacation", announced Frey at their first live performance in April 1994. The ensuing tour spawned a live album titled Hell Freezes Over (named for Henley's recurring statement that the group would get back together "when hell freezes over") which debuted at #1 on the Billboard album chart, and included four new studio songs, with "Get over It" and "Love Will Keep Us Alive" both becoming Top 40 hits. The album itself proved as successful as the reunion tour, selling 6 million copies in the U.S. While the tour was briefly interrupted in September 1994 due to Frey's serious recurrence of diverticulitis, it resumed in 1995 and continued into '96. In 1998, Eagles were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. For the induction ceremony, all seven Eagles members (Frey, Henley, Felder, Walsh, Schmit, Leadon and Meisner) played together for two songs, "Take It Easy" and "Hotel California".

Several subsequent reunion tours followed (without Leadon or Meisner), notable for their record-setting ticket prices. New millennium (1999â2001) Eagles performed at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on December 31, 1999. This concert marked the last time Don Felder played with the band and these shows (including a planned release of the video) would form a part of the lawsuit that Felder later filed against his former band mates. The concert was released on CD as part of the four-disc Selected Works: 1972-1999 box set in November 2000. Along with the millennium concert, this set included the band's hit singles, album tracks, as well as outtakes from The Long Run sessions. Selected Works sold approximately 267,000 copies at about $60 a unit.

The group resumed touring once more in 2001 with a line-up consisting of Frey, Henley, Walsh, and Schmit, along with Steuart Smith (guitars, mandolin, keyboards, backing vocals; Smith unofficially replaced Don Felder who was fired in early 2001), Michael Thompson (keyboards, trombone), Will Hollis (keyboards, backing vocals), Scott Crago (drums, percussion), Bill Armstrong (Horns) Al Garth (sax, violin), Christian Mostert (sax) and Greg Smith (sax, percussion) Don Felder sues the Eagles (2001â2002) On February 6, 2001, Don Felder was fired from the Eagles. Felder responded by filing two lawsuits against "Eagles, Ltd., a California corporation; Don Henley, an individual; Glenn Frey, an individual; and "Does 1â50", alleging wrongful termination, breach of implied-in-fact contract, and breach of fiduciary duty, reportedly seeking $50 million in damages.

In his complaint, Felder alleged that from the 1994 Hell Freezes Over tour onward, Henley and Frey had "... insisted that they each receive a higher percentage of the band's profits ...", whereas the money had previously been split in five equal portions. Felder also accused them of coercing him into signing an agreement under which Henley and Frey would receive three times as much of the Selected Works: 1972-1999 proceeds than Felder. On behalf of his clients Henley and Frey, attorney Daniel M. Petrocelli stated: felt â creatively, chemistry-wise and performance-wise â that he should no longer be part of the band...They removed him, and they had every legal right to do so. This has been happening with rock 'n' roll bands since day one. It was also reported that Don Felder usually did not agree with the rest of the band concerning touring or recording schedules. The rest of the band members wanted the freedom to tour or record as they wanted on their own terms.

Henley and Frey then countersued Felder for breach of contract, alleging that Felder had written and attempted to sell the rights to a "tell-all" book. The book, Heaven and Hell: My Life in Eagles (1974â2001), was published in the United Kingdom on November 1, 2007. The initial U.S. release was canceled after publisher Hyperion elected to back out, in September, when an entire print run of the book had to be recalled for further cuts and changes. The American edition of Heaven and Hell was published by Wiley on April 28, 2008, with Felder embarking on a full publicity campaign surrounding its release. On January 23, 2002, the Los Angeles County Court consolidated the two complaints, and the single case was dismissed on May 8, 2007 after being settled out-of-court for an undisclosed amount. "Hole in the World" (2003â2006) In 2003, the Eagles released a new greatest hits album The Very Best of the Eagles.

The two-disc compilation was the first that encompassed their entire career, from Eagles to The Long Run. The album also included a new single, the September 11-themed "Hole in the World". The album debuted at #3 on the Billboard charts and eventually gained triple platinum status. Also in 2003, Warren Zevon, a longtime Eagles friend, began work on his final album, The Wind, with the assistance of Henley, Walsh, and Schmit. On June 14, 2005, the Eagles released a new 2-DVD set titled Farewell 1 Tour-Live from Melbourne featuring two new songs: Glenn Frey's "No More Cloudy Days" and Joe Walsh's "One Day at a Time." A special edition 2006 release exclusive to Wal-Mart and affiliated stores also included a bonus audio CD with three new songs: a studio version of "No More Cloudy Days" plus "Fast Company" and "Do Something." Long Road Out of Eden (2007âpresent) In 2007, Eagles consisted of Frey, Henley, Walsh, and Schmit.

On August 20, 2007, "How Long", written by J. D. Souther â who had previously worked with Eagles co-writing some of their biggest hits including "Best of My Love", "Victim of Love," "Heartache Tonight" and "New Kid in Town" â was released as a single to radio with an accompanying online video at Yahoo! Music and debuted on television on CMT during the Top 20 Countdown on August 23, 2007. The band performed the song as part of their live sets in the early-to-mid '70s, but did not record it at the time due to J.D. Souther's desire to use it on his first solo album. On October 30, 2007, the Eagles released Long Road Out of Eden, their first album of all-new material since 1979. For the first year after the album's initial release, it was available in the U.S. exclusively via the band's website, Wal-Mart and Sam's Club stores. It was commercially available through traditional retail outlets in other countries.

The album debuted at #1 in the U.S., the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Netherlands and Norway. It became their third studio album, seventh release overall, to be certified at least seven times platinum by the RIAA. In an interview with CNN, Don Henley declared, "This is probably the last Eagles album that we'll ever make." The Eagles made their awards show debut on November 7, 2007, when they performed "How Long" live at the Country Music Association Awards. On January 28, 2008, the second single of Long Road Out of Eden was released. "Busy Being Fabulous" peaked at #28 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and at #12 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart. The Eagles won the 2008 Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for "How Long." It was the band's fifth Grammy Award. On March 20, 2008, the Eagles launched their world tour in support of Long Road Out of Eden at The O2 Arena in London, England.

The Long Road out of Eden Tour concluded their last 2009 scheduled American venue on May 9, 2009 at Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, Utah. It was the first concert ever held in the new soccer stadium. The group was touring in Europe, their last tour date there scheduled July 22, 2009 in Lisbon, Portugal. Currently they are back in North America, doing some touring along the Pacific coast. On March 16, 2010, it was announced they will be touring jointly with the Dixie Chicks and Keith Urban in a stadium tour that will take place across North America in summer 2010. The Eagles opened the tour on Friday, April 16, 2010, at the legendary Hollywood Bowl.

Trivia The DVD release remained at the No. 2 position on Australian DVD charts for almost 200 weeks. (as at 14 Dec 2004) See more » Quotes The Eagles are back in fine form, but lack enthusiasm 12 March 2001 | by fleetwoodmacrocks (east TN) – See all my reviews Well the Eagles got back together in 1994. So what? Big deal? Well the big deal is that this is one of those reunions we thought would NEVER happen. The truth of the matter is, the Eagles are a fantastic group of performers. Each member in his own right can stand alone with their own solo work. But you put the five of them together, and they create an amazing sound. This show, as a whole, would satisfy any Eagles fan. What it doesn't do, however, is appeal to those Non-Eagles fans. Quite simply, the show doesn't "ROCK" enough. Don't get me wrong, I consider myself an Eagles fan. Yet, I was somewhat disappointed by this DVD. Too many of the groups slow ballads drown this show in depression.

Secondly, the members don't seem to be enjoying themselves on-stage in the least bit. The bands' chops seem to be up, and they play perfectly, but the tunes just lack any emotion. It comes across as if they are just going through the motions. One might even say that this reunion may have been done only for the money. And if you want to deny that would-be-fact, ask yourself where have the Eagles been since 94'...? Any ways, it's a decent show. A solid 8 out of 10. If anything, it makes the grade for the musicianship alone. 4 of 5 people found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes Hell Freezes Over (Live) by Eagles on Apple Music 15 Songs iTunes Review Recorded for a 1994 MTV special, the Eagles' first reunion album boasts 11 strong live performances and four new studio tracks—all showing the band in fine fighting form.

Live highlights include a gutsy, edgy version of the strutting rocker "Life In the Fast Lane," a Latin-flavored acoustic version of "Hotel California," and a haunting take on the elegant piano ballad "Desperado." The bluesy, slide-guitar-charged "Get Over It" and wistful "Love Will Keep Us Alive" reveal the strength of the band's new material. Customer Reviews by LE Studios I remember when I first watch the broadcast of this concert on PBS 17 years ago. It was on my first surround sound system. It left impression on me. I barely had 30 albums on CDs back then. I have 1700 albums that I bought on iTunes since then. Despite having The Beatles Box Set, Metallica Collection and ALL Korn albums. I still felt like I had an empty collection without Eagles "Hell Freezes Over" album. Today I got a New iPad and it felt like my birthday getting Hell Freezes Over. I played this on my MacBook Air (Mid-2011) connected to Bowers & Wilkins (aka B&W) MM-1 speakers. I definitely can tell you this album is Mastered for iTunes.

It may not be categorized as Mastered for iTunes but it is. I listened to DTS 5.1 version and CD version I remembered both to the audible detail. I converted the CD to 256Kbps AAC format. When I first got B&W MM-1 Speakers "Hotel California" was always the first song I played. B&W MM-1 has 32-bit DSP active when you connect it with USB. Today after I bought this album I played "Hotel California," it sounded a lot better than both CD and DTS version. I am truly happy to have this in my music library and stored in iCloud. Trust me this album is worth every penny! Grew up on this album by Bbrmom This is my favorite version of HOTEL CALIFORNIA. I love the best and the change to a classic song. A must have!!.

Biography Formed: 1971 in Los Angeles, CA Genre: Rock Years Active: '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s With five number one singles, 14 Top 40 hits, and four number one albums, the Eagles were among the most successful recording artists of the 1970s.
