Wednesday's Flashback

The Eagles have been selling records, selling out concert halls, and thrilling audiences for almost forty years. Originally formed as a touring band for Linda Ronstadt, Glenn Frey and Don Henley, along with JD Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit, recorded so many hits in the 70’s that they became the most commercially successful US band of that decade.

Heartache Tonight is one of their biggest hits. A track from their 1980 album The Long Run, it topped the Billboard Hot 100 and went gold as a single. A real crowd pleaser, this one still sounds great both on radio and in their live shows. It’s a tune that never sounds dated because it’s timeless.

Seeing The Eagles in concert is a treat for even the most casual fan. As they perform their biggest hits, audiences scream for each one, and when they crank down on Heartache Tonight this experience alone is worth the price of the ticket. No band sounds better live than The Eagles.
