Eagles

”Welcome to the Hotel California” might sound a welcoming enough sentiment, but the song’s subtle tone, melodic turns, and twangling guitars have always given the Eagles’ best-known track an air of mystery and intrigue. Is it as straightforward as it seems, or really about something else (maybe something darker…)? The band’s famous ballad “Desperado” is one of the last half-century’s most beautiful songs, gifted its subtle emotion by lead vocalist Don Henley‘s soulful voice backed up by an instrumental performance accompanying him that verges on feeling orchestral. The Eagles are currently doing their “Long Goodbye” tour, which they say will be the band’s last tour, meaning that this could be your final chance to see the legends in action.
