Don Henley and Joe Walsh

Story and Photos by Pat Krause

The Acrisure Arenas hosted the iconic Eagles Band on two special nights. Friday and Saturday, Feb. 24th and 25th, to a sold-out crowd. The Arena ice rink was covered with seats, and the whole

Arena was filled to hear this iconic band. The Eagles had several original band members. Renowned artist Vince Gill has joined the group for this tour.

The band started the night with the well-known song, Hotel California. They continued the night with more of their famous songs. The crowd loved that. Some pieces were New Kid in Town, Life On The Fast Lane, and Wasted Time. They continued with some of their most famous hits. Take it Easy, Peaceful

Easy Feeling, Lying Eyes, Witchy Woman, and more.

I heard they played for 3 hours, so all guests got their money’s worth. I read that Deacon Frye, son of deceased member Glen Frye of the Eagles, played with the band and sang; Vince Gill did a duet with Joe Walsh. I also read that the band did a number with the Desert Symphony. High-tech videos were shown on the screen.
