Eagles Still Soaring -- Joe Walsh Interview from China Daily

Joe sat down with China Daily to discuss the band's first-time appearances in China.

"I'm really excited about going to China. We are running out of places we've never been to, so it's exciting to go to a new place," said the band's guitarist and singer Joe Walsh in an exclusive interview with China Daily after a recent Eagles concert in Melbourne, Australia. "It's like a whole different energy going somewhere for the first time."

Titled after its 2007 album, the Long Road out of Eden concert is set to feature songs from the double CD, as well as Eagles classics like Hotel California, Desperado, and Take It Easy.

"I don't know how familiar Chinese audiences are with the Eagles' music. We may rework the set list a little bit for the concerts in China. Fortunately we have many songs so we can rotate them," Walsh said.
