The Artistic Endeavors Of An Eagles Tribute Band

By Tammie Caldwell


The Eagles are a band beyond definition when it comes to genre. Some music lovers place them in country while others place them in rock. It is interesting to note that there is now more than one eagles tribute band which also seek to fulfill this goal. Though, no matter how hard a cover group may try to recreate this music of the 70s and early 80s, the Eagles will continue to maintain the originality which made the original members famous, first as a band, then solo artists.

While some of these groups may be better than others, musical likes and dislikes are often based on personal opinion. As such, it is often advised that individuals listen to more than one line-up before making a decision on which groups might be defined as great. As these groups often provide music which stir memories and allows groups of all ages to enjoy music of the past, being defined as great is never a prerequisite for a good time.

Hotel California and Another Tequila Sunrise have been around for quite some time. Originally having formed during and after the break-up of the original line-up, these two bands have fans, shows and recordings which span several decades. As such, it would appear that each of these bands have quite talented musicians which while playing covers, really know how to play.

Even though the Eagles rejoined forces more recently, the presentation provided by Hotel California remains one of the most sought after cover gigs of all time. Producing and performing up to 200 high profile gigs and events each year, it is almost certain this band will continue to fill the void when the original high profile group once again leave stage and studio behind.

There are a number of newer groups providing tributes to a number of different artist and bands. When these individuals have the combined talents like those of these groups, or others like Dark Star Orchestra which perform full Grateful Dead shows live, it is almost as if the originals are brought back to life, if only for the length of a show. Something that Eagles and Grateful Dead fans everywhere often appreciate and relate to unlike any other music on the planet.

While many of these groups have a massive following and have stayed on the scene for decades, others have come and gone. Something that is especially notable as some have also survived the rejoining of the original line-ups along with tours and new recordings. How long this trend will continue remains to be seen, but that alone suggest that the members in these groups might very well have talent as close as one can get to the original line-up.

Until then, when wanting to hear some great classics, music lovers may want to check out one of these two line-ups along with others online. If given the chance to see a tribute band live, it can often be a fun way to relive the past. For, whether a band simply plays covers, or provides a performance based on an entire concert, there is nothing that quite compares to reliving special memories of an earlier time.

Whether music lovers attend a concert, festival or show which includes these amazing cover artists, listening to these and other classics can often provide a great escape. An escape which can often lead music lovers to feel as if time travel were possible and one had traveled back to the 1970s, one of the most notable decades for music in the United States.
