It’s All About a Peaceful, Enormous Feeling as Eagles Kick Off Sphere Residency in Las Vegas: Concert Review
The Eagles' first night at Las Vegas' Sphere brought more of the huge visuals seen in previous U2 and Dead runs, but was even more about the songbook.
Not nearly as dramatic a test as the ones faced by U2 and Dead & Company, whose residencies preceded the Eagles’, but almost kind of a converse one: about whether a band that maybe isn’t as innately interested in spectacle as Bono and John Mayer clearly were can still find a happy home in a place that means to blow your mind with many millions of LEDs. You can, and always will, look back as long as you’re breathing, and there’s nothing any more wrong about keeping the Eagles’ repertoire in play — as one of the great songbooks of the 20 th century — than there is with reviving Porter or Gershwin, with the added bonus that some of the original principals are still around to do it themselves, with help from ringers as capable as a Vince effing Gill.
