Eagles’ ‘Hotel’ checking into S.F.
Eagles have set “Hotel California” tour dates for 2020, including a twonight stand at Chase Center, the new home of the Golden State Warriors in San Francisco, on April 1112.
Each night, the band — featuring surviving members Don Henley, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit, along with Deacon Frey and Vince Gill — plans to perform its multiplatinumselling 1976 album, “Hotel California,” in its entirety with a 46piece orchestra and a 22voice choir, followed by a second set of its greatest hits, promoters Live Nation announced Tuesday, Oct. 8.
Tickets, which range in price from $99 to $299, go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, Oct. 18, via ticketmaster.com.
The tour will also touch down in Atlanta, New York, Dallas, Houston and Inglewood (Los Angeles County).
In 2016, Henley had declared that the Eagles, the group he cofounded in Los Angeles with friend and occasional nemesis Glenn Frey in 1971, were finished after his longtime musical partner died that year.
“I don’t see how we could go out and play without the guy who started the band,” Henley told the Washington Post.
But Henley clearly had a change of heart. The band recently performed three soldout “Hotel California” concerts in Las Vegas.
“Hotel California” is the third bestselling album of all time in the U.S. The Eagles have won six Grammy Awards and five American Music Awards and have sold more than 120 million albums worldwide. The Eagles were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.
