filed a lawsuit<\/a> against Live Nation and its subsidiary, Ticketmaster, for “monopolization and other unlawful conduct that thwarts competition in markets across the live entertainment industry.”<\/p>\nTo which concert ticket-buying public responded, “No shit, Sherlock.”<\/p>\n
Anyway, the Eagles have a mind-blowing LinkedIn page: The band has sold more than 150 million albums worldwide and topped the singles charts five times. They earned six Grammy awards and were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. The band’s Greatest Hits 1971-1977 is the best-selling album in history and was certified 38 times Platinum.<\/p>\n
The Eagles currently feature Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit, Vince Gill and Deacon Frey, son of the aforementioned Glenn Frey.<\/p>\n
Ultimately, it doesn’t matter all that much who’s in the band, it’s the Sphere. These shows pull out all the visual stops, which explains why many bands have passed on playing there. Many top acts don’t want to risk being swallowed up by the sensory overload.<\/p>\n
The Eagles setlist isn’t too hard to predict, mostly because weirdos (sorry, superfans) post setlists for every concert, ever, on the Internet, including the covers: “Seven Bridges Road,” “Take It Easy,” “One of These Nights,” “Lyin’ Eyes,” “Take It to the Limit,” “Witchy Woman,” “Peaceful Easy Feeling,” “Tequila Sunrise,” “In the City,” “I Can’t Tell You Why,” “New Kid in Town,” “Life’s Been Good,” “Already Gone,” “The Boys of Summer,” “Funk #49,” “Life in the Fast Lane,” “Rocky Mountain Way,” “Desperado,” “Heartache Tonight.”<\/p>\n
Encore, wait for it: “Hotel California.”<\/p>\n
The Eagles are a great get if you’re Venetian and Palazzo or Wynn (next door), as the older demographic is a perfect storm of disposable income.<\/p>\n
We haven’t been able to ferret out the financial arrangement with the Eagles, but U2 got 90% of the box office revenue during their recent run.<\/p>\n
As we first reported<\/a>, Sphere is working on a yet-to-be-announced U2 film, along with more creative based upon “The Wizard of Oz.”<\/p>\nThe Sphere apparently made money, even what that lopsided U2 deal, and the “Postcard” movie is packing them in, stealing ticket sales away from Cirque and other production shows in town.<\/p>\n
The Eagles give country rock fans something to look forward to as Sphere figures itself out.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
