SUNRISE, Fla. – The Eagles were flying high Friday night at FLA Live Arena in Sunrise for the fourth show of their “Hotel California” 50th anniversary tour.
A raucous crowd greeted the band just after 8 p.m. as the chiming chord progressions of the opening title track rang out in the darkened arena.

Eagles co-founder Don Henley spent the majority of the show behind the drum kit, going back to his roots as a drummer while still singing strong leads on nearly every song.
Glenn Frey’s son Deacon usually handles lead vocals on his dad’s hits like “Take It Easy” and “Tequila Sunrise” but he has been unable to make any of the tour dates yet because of illness, so Vince Gill took the reins on those songs.
Everyone in the band sounded great and played some inspired solos while being cheered on by fans.
There was no opening act and the Eagles performed for nearly two hours. The first set was dedicated to their best-selling album “Hotel California” with all nine songs played in the same order as the record.
