Don Henley, Cass County. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

The vibrant rich tones associated with the heartbeat of the Eagles has missed being played out as a solo performance, whilst the exuberance of the band has been seen and heard in Joe Walsh’s stunning 2012 album Analogue Man. The more thoughtful repose, the more natural sounding and gentle like feel that comes with many of the Eagles classic ballads has been strangely and sadly quiet before the massive and exhilarating tour that brought the group back where they belong and, until now, hushed into the dark spaces of memory of the post Eagles shows.

Eagles, The History Of The Eagles, Gig Review. Echo Arena, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

The Echo Arena in Liverpool was built for nights such as this, the Midsummer sun starting to wind its way back to the southern hemisphere, the evening glow of June racing its way across the Irish Sea and on its way America to the home of some finest rock bands you could ever hope to see play in the place where legends were born. A city that gave legends its British meaning to the country rock scene of the Eagles, legendary music that if written down in a book would be classed as fable, too fabulous for words but with a spirit that endured for over 40 years. You might never see the Eagles in Liverpool again, for those who took advantage of the summer sun giving its warmth to the city below; they were further warmed by the afterglow of some of the finest music to ever come out of America.
