Eagles to bring farewell tour to Denver with Steely Dan

DENVER ( KDVR ) — After more than 50 years of touring, the Eagles are saying goodbye.

The Grammy award-winning rock band is hitting the road one last time and bringing “The Long Goodbye” tour to the Mile High City. Legacy band members Don Henley, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit — along with Vince Gill and Deacon Frey, son of the late Glenn Frey — will be at Ball Arena on Oct. 5.

Steely Dan will be attending as a special guest.

“Our long run has lasted far longer than any of us ever dreamed. But, everything has its time, and the time has come for us to close the circle,” the Eagles said on their website .

The Eagles originally formed in Los Angeles in 1971 and have been producing hits for five decades. Most notably, the band has given the world songs like “Hotel California,” “Take it Easy,” “Lyin’ Eyes” and “One of These Nights.”

The Eagles’ “Their Greatest Hits” album was the first album to ever be certified platinum and continues to dominate charts to this day. That accomplishment helped the band get inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by Jimmy Buffet in 1998.

When Eagles farewell tour tickets go on sale

The tour is expected to continue into 2025, with the band to “perform as many shows in each market as their audience demands,” according to the announcement .

So, if you are ready to say farewell to some music legends, get your credit cards ready.

Presale and VIP tickets go on sale on Wednesday, July 12, at 10 a.m. on Ticketmaster . There are two presale options for fans: a Ball Arena/radio presale and a Live Nation presale.

Then, two days later on July 14, tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m.

In this final tour, the Eagles are only stopping on 13 dates so far. So, be sure to grab your tickets to the final ride.

“At the end of the day, you are the reason we have been able to carry on for over five decades,” the band said. “This is our swan song, but the music goes on and on.”

The Eagles have announced a farewell live tour across North America with Steely Dan – find all the details below.

The legendary band will begin the run of shows – titled ‘The Long Goodbye’ – at Madison Square Garden in New York on September 7 ahead of further performances in Boston (September 11), Newark (16) and Elmont, New York (20).

Resuming in early October, the group’s final tour is then set to visit Denver, Indianapolis, Detroit, Cleveland and Atlanta before additional stop-offs in other cities throughout November.

‘The Long Goodbye’ will see The Eagles – comprising Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit, Vince Gill and Deacon Frey – “perform as many shows in each market as their audience demands”, per a press release.

The tour is expected to continue into 2025, but further dates – potentially including the UK and Europe – are yet to be announced.

The Eagles, who’ll be commemorating their 50+ career with the concerts, will be supported by Steely Dan on all confirmed dates.

Tickets go on general sale at 10am local time next Friday (July 14) – you’ll be able to buy yours here . Alternatively, fans can access pre-sale and VIP packages from Wednesday (July 12).

In a joint statement, the band said: “The Eagles have had a miraculous 52-year odyssey, performing for people all over the globe; keeping the music alive in the face of tragic losses, upheavals and setbacks of many kinds. Credit and thanks go to our longtime management team, our dedicated road crew, and our exceptional backup musicians for providing skilled and steadfast support, throughout these many years.

“We know how fortunate we are, and we are truly grateful. Our long run has lasted far longer than any of us ever dreamed. But, everything has its time, and the time has come for us to close the circle.”

The Eagles went on to confirm that their farewell tour “is currently in the planning stages”, adding: “We want to give all our fans a chance to see us on this final round.”

They also confirmed that further concerts will be announced “as dates are set”, before highlighting the “difficulties of booking venues for multiple nights” due to demand. “But, we hope to see as many of you as we can, before we finish up,” the group continued.

“Most importantly, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for embracing this band and its music. At the end of the day, you are the reason we have been able to carry on for over five decades. This is our swan song, but the music goes on and on.”

The Eagles’ 2023 North American tour dates are as follows:

SEPTEMBER 7 – Madison Square Garden, New York, NY  11 – TD Garden, Boston, MA  16 – Prudential Center, Newark, NJ           20 – UBS Arena, Belmont Park, NY

The Eagles Announce “The Long Goodbye” The Band’s Final Tour

Tickets On Sale Friday, July 14 at 10:00 Local Time

High-res photos HERE

LOS ANGELES , July 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — After more than 50 years of touring, and consistently selling out arenas and stadiums worldwide, the Eagles announced today that their upcoming “The Long Goodbye”  will be the band’s final tour.

Thirteen shows will be initially announced. The first set of dates will begin September 7, 2023 , in New York .

The Eagles’ long-time contemporaries and fellow Hall of Famers, Steely Dan,  will be joining these historic shows and commemorating their own 50+ year career.

Presale tickets and VIP packages will be available starting Wednesday, July 12 for all announced shows. The general on-sale will start Friday, July 14 at 10:00 AM local time.

During “The Long Goodbye,” the Eagles – Don Henley , Joe Walsh , Timothy B. Schmit , with Vince Gill and Deacon Frey – will perform as many shows in each market as their audience demands. The tour is expected to continue into 2025.

Over the band’s more than 50 years of touring, the Eagles have performed more than 1,000 concerts around the world, accounting for more than 15 million tickets. Eagles’ tours have consistently ranked in the Top 10 of both concert industry publications, Billboard and Pollstar .

In the Fall of 1971, the Eagles formed, pioneered, and personified a uniquely American musical style blending country, folk, R&B, rock, and pop sensibilities, and would go onto become one of the most creatively and commercially successful bands of all time.  In today’s faddish, fractured, rock landscape, the Eagles retain an appeal that transcends both generation and genre, cementing the band’s role as enduring musical icons.

The Eagles have sold more than 150 million albums worldwide, scored six #1 albums, and topped the singles charts five times. They earned six GRAMMY Awards, were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1998, in their very first year of eligibility, and received the Kennedy Center Honors in 2016.

The band’s Greatest Hits 1971-1977 is the best-selling album in history, with the RIAA certifying the collection at 38-times Platinum.  Hotel California is the third best-selling U.S. album in history, certified 26-times Platinum.  After its release in 1976, it topped the charts and earned two GRAMMY Awards for “New Kid In Town” and “Hotel California.”

The “Long Goodbye” tour is proudly presented by Live Nation.

Eagles rock LA homecoming for Long Goodbye tour, knock nearby 'spaceship' SoFi Stadium

LOS ANGELES – "Good evening and welcome to whatever this is," Eagles founding member, drummer and singer Don Henley said to kick off the band's first 2024 concert of The Long Goodbye tour.

The seminal rock band, formed in Los Angeles in 1971, checked into Hotel California again Friday for the first of four sold-out concerts at the Kia Forum for what is promised as the Eagles' final tour. Henley took pride that the four nights ending Jan. 13 will mark 26 times at the iconic 17,500-seat venue.

"We've been playing this joint for 49 years," Henley said, adding that it was the band's strong preference over the gleaming 70,000-seat SoFi Stadium just across the street.

"We could have just done one night at the spaceship next door and been done with it. But it sounds much better in here," said Henley, sending the Kia Forum crowd into a frenzy. "We prefer to work a little harder and give you a better listening experience."

The Eagles lived up to the great listening experience with Henley, 76, joining longtime guitarist Joe Walsh, 76, bassist Timothy B. Schmit, 76, along with guitarist Vince Gill , 66, who stepped in after founding member and guitarist Glenn Frey  died in 2016 at age 67. Frey's guitarist son Deacon, 31, has also rejoined the band.

Dropping into an acapella version of " Seven Bridges Road " to start the show, the Eagles proved they can still harmonize with startling beauty, following that up with hit-after-hit including "One of These Nights," "Lyin' Eyes," "Best of My Love" and "New Kid in Town."

The Eagles Long Goodbye: See the setlist for the legendary rock band's final tour

Songwriter J.D. Souther, who Henley said played a "critical role" in writing the latter two mega-Eagles hits, among others, made frequent stage appearances, including handling lead vocals in "New Kid in Town," duties once performed by the late Frey.

Deacon Frey, propped up sunglasses holding back his long black hair, handled his father's lead vocal duties on "Peaceful Easy Feeling," a pitch-perfect nostalgic rendition that ended with the stage screens showing a black-and-white photo of the smiling late Eagles founder.

Henley continued to pay concert tribute to Jimmy Buffett , dedicating his solo song "Boys of Summer" to "our dear friend" who died in September at 76.

Walsh held claim to his place as the Clown Prince of Rock by vamping onstage after a retro introduction from Schmidt as "the irreplaceable, the undeniable, the Master of the Stratocaster." Walsh proved worthy of the plaudits, pulling off power guitar solos in songs such as his hit "Life's Been Good."

But Walsh has slightly adapted to the times, changing the line in his ode to spoiled rock stars from "They write me letters, tell me I'm great" to "They write me emails, tell me I'm great."

By the time the band kicked into the classic road anthem "Already Gone," it was clear the Eagles are in fighting shape after performing the tour since kicking off Sept. 7 at New York City's Madison Square Garden.

"How we doing?" Henley asked after the song ended. "We've been practicing."

As promised in the title, The Long Goodbye will continue through 2025.

Eagles pay tribute To Jimmy Buffett at final tour kickoff: 'Sailing on that cosmic ocean'

How is Donald Fagen from Steely Dan?

Fagen, 75, rejoined The Long Goodbye and opened the show Friday with Steely Dan after being hospitalized for an unspecified illness in October. Fagen thanked the audience for the enthusiastic response to Steely Dan's classic song "My Old School."

"It's my first show of the year, and you're making it nice," Fagen said.

After playing "Reelin' In the Years," Fagen paid tribute to fellow band founder Walter Becker, who died in 2017 at 67.

"I want to thank Walter Becker for helping me write all of these tunes," said Fagen.

Environment | PHOTOS: Rehabilitated bald eagles take flight at Park County ranch

Birds made full recoveries and were released into the wild after rehabilitation.

Members of Birds of Prey Rehab Center, Colorado Parks & Wildlife, and the Eagle Rock Ranch family came together to release two juvenile bald eagles back into the wild at Eagle Rock Ranch near Jefferson, Colorado on May 8, 2024. This eagle had fallen ill on the ranch, later diagnosed with West Nile Disease. The other eagle, found elsewhere, also required rehabilitation, and both were cared for at the Birds of Prey Rehab Center in Broomfield. Almost a year later, both eagles have made full recoveries and were released near the same spot where one was discovered sick nearly a year earlier. (Photo by RJ Sangosti/The Denver Post)
