Eagles soar with ‘Hotel California’ anniversary show at Sunrise

SUNRISE, Florida. – The Eagles were flying high Friday night at the FLA Live Arena in Sunrise for the fourth show of their “Hotel California” 50th anniversary tour.

A raucous crowd greeted the band just after 8 p.m. as the chiming chord progressions of the opening title track echoed through the dark arena.

Eagles co-founder Don Henley spent most of the show behind the drums, returning to his roots as a drummer while continuing to sing strong leads on nearly every song.

Glenn Frey’s son Deacon usually does lead vocals on his dad’s hits like “Take It Easy” and “Tequila Sunrise,” but he hasn’t been able to make any of the tour dates yet. due to illness, so Vince Gill took over the reins on those songs.

Everyone in the band sounded great and played inspired solos while being cheered on by the fans.

There was no opening act and the Eagles played for nearly two hours. The first set was dedicated to their best-selling album “Hotel California” with all nine songs played in the same order as the record.
