LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-JUNE 8, 2019…IT WAS 1994 AND THE EAGLES WERE PLAYING THE 2ND OF 4 SOLD OUT CONCERTS AT THE SHORELINE AMPHITHEATRE ON THEIR ‘HELL FREEZES OVER’ TOUR. THE TOUR WAS MEGA SUCCESSFUL AS IT SAW THE REUNITED GROUP ON THE ROAD TOGETHER FOR 2 YEARS. IT ALSO RESULTED IN A 9 TIMES PLATINUM ALBUM.
THE HISTORIC REUNION TOOK PLACE AFTER A 14 YEAR BREAK UP FOR THE BAND. THE INITIAL END OF THE BAND TOOK PLACE AFTER A SHOW IN LONG BEACH CALIFORNIA WHEN DON FELDER AND GLENN FREY ALMOST CAME TO PHYSICAL BLOWS ON STAGE. THE SHOW HAS BEEN DUBBED “LONG NIGHT AT WRONG BEACH.”
TIME HEALS ALL WOUNDS AND THE BAND DECIDED TO GET TOGETHER AGAIN WITH HENLEY, FREY, FELDER, SCHMIDT AND WALSH. A FILM STUDIO WAS BOOKED AND THE BAND FILMED AN MTV UNPLUGGED SPECIAL, WHICH RESULTED IN 11 LIVE SONGS THAT WERE FOUND ON THE ‘HELL FREEZES OVER’ ALBUM, AS WELL AS 4 NEW STUDIO SONGS.
