Just saw this article from Variety that the Eagles (with Vince and Deacon) are going to be playing at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville and the concert is going to be broadcasted on Sirius XM, as well as they're going to have a limited Eagles station on the service in November and during the Thanksgiving weekend. Playing at the Orpy is a big honor, especially for the Eagles showing how much they've played a part in country music.

Wow, how sad this could not have happened when Glenn Frey was in the band.Quote:

I gotta say making Vince Gill a guest Eagle was a genius move by Azoff and Henley.Quote:

It would've been so nice if this would've happened when Glenn was still here. I think he would've loved it. That would be nice too if Bernie is invited.
Well, it didn't, and that's all we're going to get now. :mad: :hand:Quote:

Don had a concert at the Ryman which used to the Grand Ole Opry home for many years before it moved to its current location. Actually twice.
Here's one way to get tickets
http://blog.siriusxm.com/2017/10/04/...-for-siriusxm/
SiriusXM subscribers since September 12, 2017, can enter for the chance to win a trip to Nashville including airfare, hotel stay and a pair of tickets to the show. See Official Rules for complete details.
It says "invitation only" for Sirius XM listeners. I did enter their contest as I am a subscriber but I wonder how the other invitees will be selected. The contest is for "one" grand prize winner which covers hotel, airfare, etc.
