Eagles: The Long Goodbye Act III

It took the Eagles a few albums to attain supergroup status, but once they did, they soared into the stratosphere, dominating charts in the second half of the ’70s with the albums One of These Nights, Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975), Hotel California and The Long Run. But even they couldn’t have predicted they’d still be running this long, nearly four decades after they emerged from the SoCal country-rock scene with their self-titled debut, and 16 years after pulling off one heckuva magic trick: the freezing of hell, which precipitated their ’90s reunion after an acrimonious split. Though their 1994 “Hell Freezes Over” tour was the first to charge triple-digit ticket prices, it sold out everywhere. Thirteen years after releasing the accompanying album, they got around to following it up with Long Road Out of Eden. Proving they were still able to make bold marketing moves and come out on top, the Eagles gave Walmart exclusive first rights to the double disc—which of course debuted at No. 1 anyway and became the third-best-selling album of 2007, despite being released on Oct. 30. (Their Greatest Hits is the top-selling album of all time in the U.S.) Texas native Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit have a huge repertoire to pull from, but they know what fans come to hear, and are certain to toss plenty of hits onto their set list. Requests, anyone? How about “Hotel California,” “Desperado,” “On the Border,” “Ol’ ’55,” “Take It to the Limit,” “One Of These Nights,” “Take It Easy,” “Witchy Woman,” “Peaceful Easy Feeling,” “New Kid in Town” or “I Can’t Tell You Why”? And of course, “The Long Run.”

Tedeschi Trucks Band is a Grammy Award-winning 12-piece powerhouse ensemble led by the husband/wife duo of guitarist Derek Trucks and singer/guitarist Susan Tedeschi, “two of the best roots rock musicians of their generation” (NPR). With their own potent original songwriting alongside an extensive canon of influences, the dynamic all-star band owns a reputation for world-class musical expression bolstered by each album and every performance. Since forming in 2010, TTB’s caravan has traveled countless miles to bring their music to audiences around the world. From sold-out multi-night residencies across America to barnstorming tours through Europe and Japan to the flagship Wheels of Soul annual summer amphitheater tour, the band's shows are an eagerly anticipated highlight of the live music calendar and “nothing short of exhilarating” (Salon). Whether on stage or in the studio, when these supremely talented artists get together, it’s a musical experience of profound quality. The band's most recent release, I Am The Moon, the most ambitious studio project of Tedeschi Trucks Band’s storied career, is comprised of four albums and four companion films to be released throughout the summer of 2022. Inspired by a mythic Persian tale of star-crossed lovers, and emotionally driven by the isolation and disconnection of the pandemic era, the thematic I Am The Moon totals more than two hours of music unfolding across a robust tapestry of genre-defying explorations that propel the treasured American ensemble into new and thrilling creative territory. It now joins an impressive studio discography that includes Signs (2019), High & Mighty EP (2019), Let Me Get By (2016), Made Up Mind (2013), and the Grammy-winning debut, Revelator (2011) in addition to their live releases, Layla Revisited (Live At LOCKN') featuring Trey Anastasio (2021), the Grammy-nominated film/audio, Live From The Fox Oakland (2017), and 2012’s Everybody’s Talkin’. Tedeschi Trucks Band is also the subject of the newly-released documentary, Learning To Live Together: The Return of Mad Dogs & Englishmen, which Variety hails as “a serious blast of rock 'n' roll love…and a testament to how one gorgeously raucous rock ‘n’ roll moment can reverberate through the decades.” The film chronicles the historic Mad Dogs reunion concert spearheaded by Tedeschi and Trucks that took place at 2015's LOCKN' festival. Tedeschi Trucks Band is Susan Tedeschi (guitar, vocals), Derek Trucks (guitar), Gabe Dixon (keyboards, vocals), Brandon Boone (bass), Tyler “Falcon” Greenwell (drums), Isaac Eady (drums), Mike Mattison (vocals), Mark Rivers (vocals), Alecia Chakour (vocals), Kebbi Williams (saxophone), Ephraim Owens (trumpet) and Elizabeth Lea (trombone).
