Eagles tour takes off from Alpharetta
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Rock legends the Eagles will launch their Long Road Out Of Eden World Tour right here at the new Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre at Encore Park, in Alpharetta,
The May 14 show is sure to feature material from the band’s recent No. 1 CD “Road Out of Eden,” the best selling album by a group last year, according to Nielsen SoundScan. But of course, when you have the best-selling album OF ALL TIME as well - “Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975,” now at 29 million units and counting - it’s a safe bet you’ll hear singles from that CD, including “Take It Easy,” “Take It To The Limit” and the like.
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Feb. 1 at Ticketmaster, 404-249-6400 or go to www.ticketmaster.com. Planning to attend? Happen to be among the 711,000 who bought “Long Road Out of Eden” its first week out in October, or the 7 million who’ve purchased it to date? And were you surprised that a group that started in the ’70s could still make such an impact, saleswise, three decades later?
