Link: NEWS.com.au | Old kids in town to do Eagle rock (November 24, 2004).

IT was a night of rock 'n' roll nostalgia in Brisbane last night as the Eagles came to town.

A capacity crowd of 12,500 people descended on the Entertainment Centre for the year's biggest-selling tour; a mammoth evening of Eagle rock. The music icons, with 140 million album sales to their credit, touched down in Brisbane with their Farewell 1 tour after wowing baby boomers and music lovers in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.

Along with their 14 semi-trailer loads of equipment, the enduring rockers brought with them a set list crammed with their raft of hits from the 1970s onwards. The ageing rockers opened with The Long Run before moving into a set which was scheduled to go for up to three hours, with an interval in between.

Another 12,500 fans will get to see Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit in action at the Entertainment Centre tonight, and they will return to Brisbane for a third encore on December 2.

Meanwhile, fans have been urged to buy up early tomorrow if they want to see Delta Goodrem in concert next year. The Internet pre-sale for her limited national tour next July starts from Ticketek at noon tomorrow, before phone and counter sales open at 9am on Monday.

Goodrem will perform at the Entertainment Centre on July 18.
