The Eagles – More Shows Added to Their Tour

19th January 2009 | Category: Concerts | Tags:

The Eagles are adding to their Long Road Out of Eden shows, putting in extra shows and dates that include Tulsa Oklahoma, San Antonio and Dallas, as well as Houston Texas and St Louis Missouri.

That’s going to definitely increase your chances of getting tickets to see this fantastic blast from the past.

The Eagles music has scored big over the years, with four, count em, FOUR number one albums and at least that many hits in the singles category.

The end of the century saw them remain one of the biggest recording stars ever to come out of the United States, with one of their albums, Hotel California, rating among the top ten biggest selling albums ever.

Using some country-folk roots and a traditional rock style, the Eagles have helped to define what rock and roll is and what it became, and along the way, gleaned a wide audience for their music, who continued to purchase their records for many years after the Eagles had split and were not longer recording together.

That’s primarily whats responsible for their reunion and consequent new albums.

The Eagles had, what you might call humble beginnings but they didn’t last long.

Four men who were headquartered in LA came west to seek out some new fortunes. One of them, Randy Meisner, from Scottsbluff Nebraska, moved to LA to become part of a band that was called Soul Survivors. He was among the founding members of a band called Poco, and left it to join the Stone Canyon band, who played backup for Ricky Nelson.

Bernie Leadon got to L.A. in 1967 with a band called Hearts and Flowers Don Henley moved to L.A. in 1970 with Shiloh, which made a single album before breaking up.

Glenn Frey played as a backup musician for Bob Seger before moving to L.A. in 1968.

In 1971, Frey, Henley, Leadon, and Meisner adopted the name the Eagles, flew to England to release their first album, which became a top seller in under a year.

The rest, as they say is history.

Grab your tickets today, and be part of the Eagles history.

Super Bowl XLIII: Pittsburgh Steelers VS Arizona Cardinals

19th January 2009 | Category: Sports | Tags: , ,

There is much joy in Steel City this evening as the Pittsburgh Steelers out ran and out hit the Ravens, in a defensive game that was reminiscent of the old Steel Curtain days in Pittsburgh.

The Steelers ended the evening by beating Baltimore 23 to 14, and ending any hopes they may have had for a Super Bowl Sunday for this year at least.

Two weeks from now, Pittsburgh will meet the Arizona Cardinals head on in the Super Bowl in Tampa.

You absolutely have to love the irony of the match. Tomlin head to head with Whisenhunt, who was of course the offensive coordinator back when the Steelers won the last Super Bowl, who went with Arizona after he was passed by for the job at Pittsburgh.

Whisenhunt left, along with his aide de camp, Russ Grimm, when Tomlin was hired, which happened somewhat unexpectedly.

Pittsburgh will now head for their day in the sun.. Tampa sun that is, for their shot at the Super Bowl, but can they get the win?

The only teams so far who have won five Super Bowls are the “niners” or the 49ers, Dallas and the Steelers. Pittsburgh would be the first team to be six time winners, and at thirty something, Tomlin will be, if his team pulls it off, the youngest coach to ever head up a Super Bowl Team.

All in all it looks to be one of the most exciting games in years.

Are you going to be there?? Not if you don’t grab those tickets now you’re not. Pittsburgh is notorious for game sellouts. The Super Bowl won’t be any exception.
