Rock News Story Of The Year No. 1: THE EAGLES
The Eagles performed their first concert following the 2016 passing of co-founder Glenn Frey with a headline set on the opening night of The Classic West Festival at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on July 15.
Frey’s son, Deacon, and country singer Vince Gill joined the group’s lineup as they delivered a 23-song set of classics while paying tribute to their late bandmate.
“This is unbelievable,” said the 24-year-old Frey when introducing “Peaceful Easy Feeling” mid-set in front of 50,000 plus fans. “The last few years have been rough. The only remedy for that is love and I’m feeling it from you tonight. This is my medicine.”
“Anyone out there miss my dad?” Frey asked during the song, as the crowd responded with a resounding and heartfelt yes.
