The Eagles, an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1971, quickly became one of the defining acts of the 1970s with their melodic rock, tight harmonies, and a blend of country-infused rock and roll. The original lineup consisted of Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Bernie Leadon, and Randy Meisner. They reached stardom with the release of their self-titled debut album in 1972, which included hits like "Take It Easy" and "Witchy Woman." Their continued success led to the release of several iconic albums, including "Desperado," "On the Border," and the landmark "Hotel California" in 1976, which became one of the best-selling albums of all time.

Though the Eagles disbanded in 1980, their music continued to resonate with audiences, and they found a new generation of fans upon their return in 1994 with the album "Hell Freezes Over," featuring a mix of live recordings and new tracks. The band went through various lineup changes over the years, notably after the death of founding member Glenn Frey in 2016. Despite such losses, the Eagles have shown remarkable resilience and staying power. Their recent release, "Live From The Forum MMXVIII," captures the band's enduring appeal, showcasing live renditions of their timeless classics. Their ability to seamlessly blend rock and country, along with their exceptional songwriting and musicianship, cements the Eagles as one of the perennial giants in the history of American music.
