I only saw them once but it was the original lineup with Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner. Don Felder wasn't a member of the band yet but he was called up on stage and player a few number with them. Felder was playing with the opening act and for the life of me I can't remember who that was. |

I only saw them once, on the Hell Freezes Over tour, RFK Stadium in Washington DC. Cheryl Crow opened, and the people I went with didn't care about seeing her so much. I did, but we still mostly heard her on the way in. We had balcony seats, and were on the left side (stage right). They kicked into Hotel California for their first number, and the floor of the balcony was bouncing up and down with people rocking out. So good. Frey also showed up once in a while on TV. I remember he was on Miami Vice, but he'd pop up elsewhere. Personally, I'm fine with no musical heroes of anyone dying for the rest of 2016. |
