7 Blog Review: Legendary Eagles Still Can Soar

Carolyn Lamberson's review of the Eagles concert in Spokane Friday for the 7 Blog:

There is always something comfortable about the Eagles. The legendary rock band, after all, has been part of the American soundtrack for more than 40 years. The band’s songs are instantly recognizable to anyone, of any generation, who has ever turned on FM radio. From the folk-flavored country rock of “Peaceful Easy Feeling” to the weirdness of “Hotel California” and sing-along appeal of “Take it Easy,” the music wears well on the ears, even after four decades. The band has its detractors, of course. Snarky hipsters who scoff at the polished commercialism and ubiquity of the Eagles’ output. The movie character Jeffrey “The Dude” Lebowski famously isn’t a fan. More here.

Question: Which touring, old-time band is your favorite?
