Went to see and hear the Eagles last night. I rate the show PFA.  Pretty Awsome. I wont admit that Joe stole the show.  He is a great addition to the Eagles. Funk 49 and Ricky Mt. Way anong with Life's been Good to me so Far were definate highlights.  They played all the Eagles best songs but nothing at all from Long Road Out Of Eden. Excellent show for a bunch of old guys. But look at the audience.  The placed was packed.  Tickets were a birthday gift from my daughters.  I love them so much.

Well worth the price of admission.

First time I saw the Eagles was in April 1974 at the first California Jam held at the original Ontario Motor Speedway. It was an all day affair and the Eagles were third on stage following the day's opening acts Rare Earth and Earth, Wind and Fire.

 

The Eagles had only a couple weeks before released their third album (On the Border) and took the stage around noon. They played James Dean, Midnight Flyer, Already Gone and Take it Easy. Jackson Browne played with the band and there are a couple YouTube vids out there showing their portion of the show. 

 

Saw the Eagles again in June 1996 in Greensboro and a couple more times since then. Easily one of the greatest bands of all time, their harmonies are still the best in the business and virtually everyone attending a concert will recognize every song they perform. 

 

Hey, LT, you do realize Joe Walsh joined the Eagles in late 1975 before they recorded and released Hotel California in 1976, right? You can't really call him an "addition" to the band considering he replaced Barry Leadon and has been with them for 38 years now, lol.

 

Oh yeah, that California Jam concert in 1974? Here's the band lineup:

Rare Earth

Earth, Wind and Fire

Eagles

Seals & Crofts

Black Oak Arkansas

Black Sabbath

Deep Purple

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

 

The show went from 10AM to about 11:30PM and the tickets were $10. There were supposedly 250,000 people in the infield of the speedway for the show. I still have a poster from the show...

Funny how I still think of Joe as a newcomer.  Leadon played with them last night.  

 

If you saw The History of the Eagles on Showtime, they were planning the tour then and Leadon was going to be a part of the tour as well as Don Felder (in spite of the lawsuit and bad blood from years ago) and Randy Meisner. But Don Henley, as brilliant a songwriter and vocalist as he may be, also has an ego the size of Madison Square Garden and still holds a grudge against Felder. Meisner is continuing to recover from some health issues, so the big 'ol reunion tour is going to missing a few original members.

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      Bryce and Dave will determine how many games this team wins next year. It’s not on the WRs. The RBs. LBs. This is about 2 things: 1. Can Bryce continue to come up big in the few key downs that decide most games?  2. Can Canales evolve his play calling to counter punch like the big boys do. Half time adjustments.  teams that score 30+ points on the regular win more games than not. That’s on Bryce and Dave. The offense is top 10 at every position group, save for TE and QB. A baller TE is gravy but not crucial when the receivers are dudes.  The defense is the defense. It’ll be better this season, hopefully by a large margin, but Dave/Bryce is really where it’s at.

      Normally I'd wholeheartedly agree with this. But I feel like teams figured out this offense after the Raiders game. Bryce was so inept the first 2 games that we couldn't really even run the offense. Dalton's first game showed what we had. But after that game, coverages got a lot tighter and windows were smaller. When Bryce came back in, his ability to extend plays made a big difference. It's really difficult to stop a QB that can beat/escape 1on1 tacklers. It puts a lot of pressure on the defense when you blitz. And he was completing throws in tight coverage with anticipation. Point being Bryce wasn't throwing to wide open receivers that were schemed open by the offense. Occasionally yes. But not often.

      With the additions we've made to our roster combined with the state of the division and the conference as a whole there is no excuse for this team not to make a legitimate push for 8-9 wins. Anything less is honestly inexcusable. There will be no more free passes for being a doormat in this iteration of the league where even mediocre teams are competing for playoff spots.
