    Default Eagles at the Grand Ole Opry - Oct. 29, Nashville, TN

    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.

    Wow, what a great honor to be invited to play at the Opry! It's old hat for Vince but for the others... No mention of Bernie in the article but he really deserves to be on that stage as much the others. I believe he still resides in the Nashville area too.

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

    I agree about Bernie perhaps for "old times" sake they will invite him to participate but I won't hold my breath.

    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.

    Someone on the other thread said Vince was a member of the Opry. I may be wrong but it would appear it was his influence that led to the Eagles invite. Don H was definitely smart to get someone with that kind of sway, at least in Nashville.

    It would be the right, classy thing to do, but I won't hold my breath either.

    Yes. Vince is a member of the Grand Ole Opry and also a Country Music Hall of Famer. He's been an Opry member for 26 years now. I think Vince just played there two weeks ago to celebrate Reba's I think 35 years. I could be wrong with the years. Vince frequently plays the Opry.

    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.

    Brothers for life. RIP Glenn

    I'm not sure I believe in fate, but I know that crossing paths with Glenn Lewis Frey in 1970 changed my life forever, and it eventually had an impact on the lives of millions of other people all over the planet. It will be very strange going forward in a world without him in it. But, I will be grateful, every day, that he was in my life. Rest in peace, my brother. You did what you set out to do, and then some." -Don Henley

    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.
