The Eagles Tickets
Rock and Roll hall of fame band, The Eagles, was formed in early 1970s, and after a short while, Eagles became the most successful band of that era after giving several number hits and albums.
What could be called the Origin of the band is when the band members were assembled by John Boylan in order to back Linda Ronstadt.
Initially the band that was selected to back Ronstadt comprised of Bernie Leadon, Glenn Frey and Randy Meisner, but later on the need of a drummer Don Henley was added to the group as well and together they back Ronstadt on her tour and her album Silk Purse that was released in 1970.
After that, the group decided to form their own band named The Eagles, after they got their first record deal with Asylum Records.
It was in 1972, when the Eagles released their self-titled debut album with Asylum Records. \"Take It Easy\" was the first single released from their debut album, which earned the Eagles their share of the Stardom as the song hit the #12 spot on the Billboard Hot 100.
The other two singles that made it to Top 40 Singles were \"Peaceful Easy Feeling\" and \"Witchy Woman\". The album, later in 2003, was ranked 374 on \"500 Greatest Albums of All Time\" in the magazine by Rolling Stone.
\"The Eagles\" was then followed by their second studio album \"Desperado\" comprising of hit singles such as \"Tequila Sunrise\" and the title song \"Desperado\".
As the name suggests, songs contained on this album were mainly based up the Western Outlaw theme, and most of the songs on this album were co-written by Glenn Frey and Don Henley.
The album however wasn\'t as successful as their previous album as it yielded only two singles that were ranked on Billboard Charts, \"Outlaw Man\" and \"Tequila Sunrise\".
After this album, Frey and Henley developed themselves as the leaders and the songwriters of the band, and directing the spot light away from Leadon and Meisner, and onto themselves. This gave birth to the controversy that would later lead to the disbandment of the Eagles.
The Last album the band released before their break up was \"The Long Run\" that was released in 1979 and it ranked on the Billboard Pop Albums Chart at #1 spot.
The album also contained one of the most famous Eagles hits, \"Heartache Tonight\". The single also fetched the Eagles with a Grammy Award in 1979. The Album received 7X Multi-Platinum status.
Don Felder parted his ways from the band after he performed with the Eagles for the last time on December 31, 1999 in a concert at the Staples Center, Los Angeles. This concert was also released on CD in November, 2001.
Later as Eagles moved on to perform in concerts they unofficially hired Steuart Smith in place of their former band member Don Felder. After the departure of Felder the line-up of the band comprised of Frey, Henley, Walsh, Schmit, Steuart Smith, Michael Thompson, Will Hollis, Scott Crago, Bill Armstrong, Al Garth, Christian Mostert and Greg Smith.
The Eagles next album, called \"The Very Best of the Eagles\", was the greatest hits album that comprised of two discs. The compilation contained the hits from their entire career and was released in 2003.
The album officially attained 3x Platinum Status and was ranked at number three on Billboard Charts, the week it debuted. The Eagles recent most single at that time, \"Hole in the World\" was also featured on that compilation album. In the same year, the band members, Henley, Walsh and Schmit, contributed with Warren Zevon on his album \"The Wind\".
The Eagles most recent studio album is \"The Long Road out of Eden\" that was released on October 30, 2007, and is the first studio album that they released after they got back together. The album also featured a cover of J.D.
Souther\'s song, \"How Long\", which made it to the Hot Country Songs charts. The song also fetched Eagles a Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals in 2008.
The only other single that made it on to the chart was \"Busy Being Fabulous\". The album was released after almost six year of being is production process and received 7X Multi-Platinum status.
The present Eagles line-up comprises of Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit. As of today Eagles have won a total of five Grammy Awards in 1975, two in 1977, one each in 1979 and 2008.
