Link: Charleston.Net: Local News: Eagles to kick off tour in North Charleston 11/05/04.
It looks like hell will freeze over again in North Charleston.
The Eagles, who brought the group's "Hell Freezes Over" tour to the North Charleston Coliseum a decade ago, will kick off the band's North American tour with a show at the coliseum March 5, according to Coliseum officials.
The Eagles are one of America's most enduring and best-selling rock groups of all time.
It will be nearly 10 years to the date since the iconic '70s group played a sold out show for 10,000 fans at the Coliseum on March 4, 1995.
The tongue-in-cheek name for the band's 1995 tour was a reference to a statement the band made that it would reunite, "when hell freezes over," after the Eagles officially announced the group's split in May 1982.
The group's last South Carolina appearance was in 2003 in Columbia.
"Without question, the Eagles concert in 1995 was the best ever in the coliseum," said Coliseum General Manager Dave Holscher. "Ten years later, people still tell me how much they loved that concert. I always thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime event for us. ... It's a great privilege for the coliseum to be selected as the first venue of the tour."
By mixing rock with folk-tinged country, the Eagles became of the most successful bands of the 1970s.
Fans continued to purchase the group's best-selling records many years after the Eagles split up, which inspired the reunion the band mounted in the mid-1990s.
The Eagles first played together in the early '70s as session musicians.
The original lineup then consisted of Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Randy Meisner and Bernie Leadon.
The band's first, self-titled album went gold in 1973, and Don Felder was added as the Eagles' fifth member for the band's third album, "On the Border."
In 1976, when the group lost Leadon, the band recruited Joe Walsh a few months before releasing "Hotel California."
Getting that "peaceful easy feeling" at The North Charleston Coliseum will come at a pretty hefty price. The most expensive tickets to the March 5 performance will cost $115, up from the band's 1995 show price of $90. Other seats at the band's North Charleston show will range from $75 to $49.50.
Service charges will also be tacked on to ticket prices. All seating is reserved.
It's no surprise then that, according to Rolling Stone magazine, The Eagles were demanding a $750,000 guarantee per concert during 2003. The band held an impressive No. 3 spot on the magazine's "2004 Rock Rich List," just behind the Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen.
Other seats at the band's North Charleston show will range from $75 to $49.50, plus service charges.
Tickets for the show go on sale at 10 a.m. Nov. 13 at the Coliseum Ticket Office, and at all Ticketmaster locations (including all Publix grocery stores).
Tickets can be charged by phone at 554-6060, or online at ticketmaster.com.
The Eagles -- the band, not the football team -- will bring one of their rare reunion tours to the Meadowlands next year.
Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit and four backing musicians will perform March 31 at the Continental Airlines Arena. Other tour stops will include April 3 at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, N.Y., and April 11 at Madison Square Garden.
For all three shows, a pre-sale for American Express cardholders only will begin at 9 a.m. on Nov. 15 and end at 9 p.m. on Nov. 21. Pre-sale tickets will be available through Tickmaster Charge-By-Phone (201-507-8900) and Ticketmaster Online (www.ticketmaster.com). The general public on-sale time is 9 a.m. on Nov. 22. Tickets also will be available at that time via Ticketmaster outlets.
Prices are $25 to $177 for the Meadowlands, $25 to $178 for Nassau Coliseum and $25 to $179.50 for the Garden. There is an eight-ticket limit per venue, per customer.

The Eagles are soaring into Greenville.
The iconic folk rockers, currently making their way through Japan and Australia, will perform in the Upstate for the first time in nine years when they land at the Bi-Lo Center on March 8.
Tickets for the show, part of the worldwide "Farewell I" tour that has seen more than 100 concerts since it began May 2003, will go on sale Nov. 13.
Unlike many bands of the 1970s reinventing themselves for nostalgic tours with few original members still left, The Eagles of today still feature core members Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Joe Walsh and Timothy Schmidt.
Inducted into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame in 1998, the group has sold more than 120 million albums worldwide with instantly recognizable desert-America songs like "Hotel California," "Take It Easy" and "Tequila Sunrise."
In addition to Ticketmaster, a variety of VIP packages will be available on www.iloveallaccess.com on Tuesday.

Link: GreenvilleOnline.com - Eagles take it to the fans ... one more time.
When the Eagles came out with their first album in 1972, the band tapped into a style of music that rock 'n' roll listeners apparently were dying to hear.
With a rock sound that flirted with both folk and country, and lyrics that offered just the slighest hint of edginess, the band found a fan base in a hurry. And fans' allegiance was cemented over the course of the next decade with a half-dozen albums.
The Eagles managed to capture the essence of the 1970s with the album "Hotel California"; two decades later, they found the right note of '90s sarcasm with the hit "Get Over It" from their reunion album, "Hell Freezes Over."
The band first reunited in 1994, and the members have toured periodically in the years since. The current tour features Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit. It's being billed as a farewell tour, the Farewell I Tour, to be exact, and the group has been saying goodbye on the road for a couple of years now.
One reason they keep going back on the road together is that being a member of the band offers a nice break from the pressures of life as a solo artist, Henley told the Chicago Sun-Times.
"The Eagles provide a great comfort zone for me," Henley told writer Jeff Wisser.
"Sometimes I can only take so much of being a solo artist and being the man out front, being the only face and the only voice and the only mind to confront the outside world. After so many weeks of that, I get the urge to retreat back to my position as a cog in a bigger wheel, with more people who can divide the duties and do interviews and take the lead onstage. And I can just sit back there and be a team player."
It's a team that fans seem happy to support. And for those Eagles lovers who just can't get enough of the classic music, the Eagles are releasing a box set later this month. The nine-disc collection will feature the band's 1972-1980 output, with the album covers reproduced on CD. It's due March 15.
[ the songs ]
Eagles' songs provided the soundtrack to much of the 1970s, not to mention the lives of millions of baby boomers. Here are some of the most popular tunes:
- "Lyin' Eyes"
- "Take It to the Limit"
- "Witchy Woman"
- "Hotel California"
- "Life in the Fast Lane"
- "Peaceful Easy Feeling"
- "Tequila Sunrise"
- "I Can't Tell You Why"
[ by the numbers ]
- $27.3 million: The amount of money the Eagles earned last year thanks to touring and CD sales.
- 88 million: The number of records the Eagles have sold over their career, according to the Recording Industry Association of America.
- 28 million: The number of copies the Eagles' "Greatest Hits 1971-1975" has sold, making it the all-time top seller.
- 6: The number of Eagles albums in the top 100 best-selling albums of all time.
- 4: The number of Grammy Awards won by the band, including one for vocal arrangement for the song "New Kid in Town."
Link: 'Hell Freezes Over' again.
Toward the end of the Coen brothers' 1998 cult classic, "The Big Lebowski," the film's protagonist, The Dude, finds himself in a taxi cab after a particularly harrowing evening.
Playing on the cab's stereo system is The Eagles' song "Peaceful, Easy Feeling."
"Can you change the station?" asks The Dude, "I've had rough night and I hate the ... Eagles."
While The Dude's comment may not represent the general public's opinion of that seminal rock band, it does highlight an undeniable truth: The music of The Eagles is everywhere, and if you're not a fan, you're out of luck.
The fact that "Eagles: Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975" is the best-selling album of all time is more than just an impressive statistic. It means that there are more copies of that album in circulation than of any other album, and that the probability of an Eagles' song penetrating any given sound-space is extremely high.
Saturday, The Eagles kick off the band's "Farewell I" tour at The North Charleston Coliseum.
While this may or may not be the last time to catch Don Henley, Glen Frey, Joe Walsh and Timothy Schmidt in action, it may be the last time these rock-'n'-roll legends perform at a local venue.
Because of Charleston's relatively small stature on the national music scene, large acts like The Eagles don't often stop here.
Saturday, the Lowcountry will serve as a test market for what is sure to be one of the top grossing tours of the season, and local concertgoers will experience one of The Eagles' most intimate arena performances of the year. While, "intimate arena performance" may seem like an oxymoron, The North Charleston Coliseum does happen to be one of the smaller venues on the "Farewell I" tour.
Having migrated to Los Angeles in the late '60s, the four original members of The Eagles came together playing as hired guns for Linda Ronstadt in 1971.
After signing with David Geffen's upstart record label, Asylum Records, Don Henley (drums), Glen Frey (guitar), Bernie Leadon (guitar/mandolin/banjo), and Randy Meisner (bass) recorded the group's debut album, "Eagles," with producer Glyn Johns in 1972.
The hard rock-shocked listening public immediately ate up the laid-back country-tinged feel of that album's hits, "Take It Easy," and "Witchy Woman."
By the end of 1975, The Eagles had recorded three successful follow-ups, 1973's "Desperado," 1974's "On the Border," and 1975's "One of These Nights," and had reached the Billboard charts six times with the singles, "Tequila Sunrise," "Already Gone," "The Best of My Love," "Lyin' Eyes," "Take It to the Limit" and "One of These Nights."
The replacement of founding guitarist Bernie Leadon by rocker Joe Walsh in 1976 added a welcome rough edge to the band's soft vocal harmonies.
While on a protracted world tour, the band released "Eagles: Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975" in 1976.
The album immediately sold 1 million copies and has sold 24 million more copies in the past three decades.
The Eagles finished out the 1970s with a pair of blockbusters, 1976's "Hotel California" and 1979's "The Long Run."
Although 1980's "Eagles Live" was initially released as a farewell album, The Eagles have reunited on a sporadic basis for the past 25 years.
In 1994, the band released the live album, "Hell Freezes Over," featuring the Top 40 single, "Get Over It."
Most recently, the band has released the anthology, "EAGLES BOXED," and embarked on the aforementioned "Farewell I" tour.
Love 'em or hate 'em, The Eagles are a rock-'n'-roll force to be reckoned with.
And if ticket sales are any indication of willingness, there are roughly 14,000 fans eager to do some reckoning at The North Charleston Coliseum at Saturday night's sold-out performance.
