" Since forming more than 25 years ago, the Eagles have weathered lineup changes, fights and a breakup that lasted more than a decade. During that time, they may have gained a few years and a few pounds, but they still sound as great as ever.
The group Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit played for more than three hours Saturday night at the Qwest Center Omaha for nearly 16,000 fans.
Their voices and guitar-playing abilities still intact after all these years, the Eagles performed each song flawlessly and sounded as though they haven't aged a bit. Their classic country-rock sound was aided by beautiful four-part harmonies and lengthy guitar solos during every song.
The set included several songs from their 2007 album "Long Road Out of Eden," as well as each of their hits. The crowd was on its feet singing and clapping for songs such as "Hotel California," "The Long Run" and "Love Will Keep Us Alive."
The band even played hits from each member's respective solo careers. Henley sang "Boys of Summer" and "Dirty Laundry," among others, while Walsh did a rendition of his song "Life's Been Good."
Walsh in particular looked like he was having the time of his life on stage. He danced and laughed while he jammed guitar solos. During "Life's Been Good," he ran around with a camera attached to his head that projected images of the crowd on a huge video screen behind him.
Each band member took at least one opportunity to speak to the crowd, but Frey was especially talkative, acting like band spokesman by telling stories and jokes and introducing the backing band.
The Eagles were backed up by a drummer, three keyboardists and a horn section. Special kudos goes out to Steuart Smith, who shared lead guitar duties with Walsh. Smith was essentially the fifth Eagle during the show, sharing the front of the stage with the four official members. He added nuance and flair to each song with his fluid guitar playing and solos.
If there's still any tension lingering from their breakup, no one exhibited it on stage. All four were all smiles, often joking and bantering during and between songs.
It's been a long road for the Eagles, and Frey acknowledged with a joke in the middle of the show that the band has gotten older.
"Check your ticket stubs. This is the assisted living tour," the 60-year-old Frey said to laughs. "
