The Eagles: Hell Freezes Over :The last three words are what the band said would have to happen beforethey got together and played again. On April 25th and 26th, 1994, they announced thatthey never broke up, they just took a fourteen-year vacation.

The concert features timeless classics (Hotel California, Desperado),selections from Don Henley‘s 1989 End of the Innocence masterpiece(The Heart of the Matter, New York Minute), a couple of tracks that holdspecial memories for me (Wasted Time, The Last Resort) plus some new material(Get Over It, Love Will Keep Us Alive).
