I've since seen them live three times on their 2006 tour, and can't wait until 20 March, when I shall be meeting my fellow fans Mrs Frey and Glennsallnighter!

    I hope you can stick around and have a lot of fun here!
    HI everybody! I've worked out I was about 12-13yrs when I first loved the guys and like you gleneaglesfan I have also re-discovered them.Eagles songs are always played on the local radio stations anyway but it was the fantastic announcement of their new album that got me all fired up!! I also saw then on BBC1 -just Glenn & Joe who at that time were quite secretive about whether they would be touring!!My 3 children bought me LROOE for xmas and I haven't stopped playing it and I am SO excited about the 26th.I would've loved to say hi to other members especially where we come from so many different countries!!
    Love FF61 ps How do I obtain an avatar and signature??

    I’ll try to help you with posting avatars and signatures, ff61.

    First of all, to post a signature, go to your profile and type in the text that you want in the 'Signature:' field.

    Posting images, including avatars, signature banners, and photos is a little bit more difficult because you can’t post an image directly from your computer. The image must be stored on a server. There are two main ways to post images on the board.

    1. Copy the image link from websites related to this message board such as EaglesOnlineCentral or the websites for each of the individual band members (past and present). If you go to any of our hub websites including EaglesOnlineCentral.com or any of the member sites, there are images in the Photo Gallery section of each site. In addition, in the Downloads section of every site, there are ready made avatars and signature banners. If you want to post any of these images, you can copy the link, and paste it where you want the image to display. However, in order for the image to properly display, it must have what we call ‘image tags’ surrounding the image file. You can insert the image tags by manually typing them immediately before and after the file name. The first tag is typed as [img] before the file name, and the second tag is typed as [/img] after the file name. For example, if the link to your image file is http://image/glennfreyonline.jpg - you must type [img] before the link and [/img] after the link in order for it to display. Do not use any spaces.

    2. Use an image hosting server such as Photobucket to upload your own photos from your pc. This is a free service and rather easy to use, but you have to set up an account, and then upload your image files to the Photobucket server. Once your images are uploaded, all you have to do is copy the image link in Photobucket, and paste it in your post. The image tags will automatically be inserted. One last thing - if you want to display an avatar, go to your profile, and paste the link in the ‘UploadAvatar from a URL:’ field in the Avatar control panel.

    This probably sounds complicated, but it’s really not too hard once you get the hang of it. Let me know if you can’t figure it out, and I’ll try to help you out. If anyone else has a simplier way of explaining this, please feel free to jump in here.

    Was it the One Show where you saw Glenn and Joe? It was such an amazing moment for me when I turned the telly on by chance and heard the announcer say that the Eagles would be featuring! I just had the self control to set the Sky box up to record it. I've sent a copy to Soda so the programme is up on Glennfreyonline if you ever want to see it again.

    I love LROOE as well. I had quite a wait to get it as I'd ordered the deluxe version from Amazon and there was a problem with the packaging. In the meantime, Soda had very kindly ordered the t-shirt and cd package from the official website for me, and in the end both arrived within a couple of days of each other.

    Your children have good taste, ff61! My two boys have given up trying to buy me Eagles stuff as they know I'll have it already, but I got some well chosen cds for Christmas - Springsteen, Paul Simon and Genesis.

    Welcome from me too FF61. Like the others I was always familiar with a lot of the Eagles music in the late 70's and very early 80's and also some of Glenn and Don's solo work in the 80's. I learned to play quite a few Eagles hits on my guitar and keyboard. But it took a concert on 11 June 2006 when they played in Dublin to really bowl me over. Actually it was Glenn Frey who bowled me over, and I haven't gotten up since! I can't wait to see the boys live in London either and to meet my friends GEF and MF. Its such a pity you are not going that night as well!

    'Its gonna be a good night ladies and gentlemen'


    May I also say that your kids have impeccable taste! Between the Christmas present and your daughter finding this site.

    I also wanted to say that Maleah has made some great signature photo banners if you'd like to look at them here - you can use any you like:

    https://www.eaglesonlinecentral.com/...ads/maleah.htm

    And there are pre-made avatars on all the sides in the "download" section. Here's the one for Glenn:

    http://www.glennfreyonline.com/downloads/avatars.htm

    You can just copy and paste the URL of the image into the "Link to off-site avatar" option on your profile for avatars (it's at the bottom). You can also upload your own avatar from your computer using the "Browse" at the bottom and selecting the file. We ask that those be no wider than 150 px and no taller than 200 px, but otherwise, go nuts!

    Hi thankyou for all the help I think I done ok with a bit of assistance from my daughter! I received my tickets today-didn't quite believe I had the 5th row until I read it on the tickets! So I have now starting counting down until 26th.I am staying with my mate in London so we'll travel over to the O2 together.Actually been there 2x last year-one to see Justin Timberlake with my 17yr daughter and then again to see Keane with my younger daughter where we had a one to one meet with the guys backstage which was fantastic!!
    Just wondered having never been before what kind of dress code do you wear for the Eagles?? Hope that doesn't sound silly luv FF61

    FF61, first of all, let me congratulate on your avatar. As you see from my sig, I love that picture. 5th row - I'm jealous -I'm in 6th! When I started with Eagles fanaticism two years ago I went from 17th row in Dublin, to 20th in Wembley, and finally 10th in Cardiff. Cost me a mortgage, but well worth it

    BTW, my husband is a Keane fan!! He'd have loved that show you went to.

    We nearly did a whole thread on 'What to Wear' over on the London section of the LROOE topic. I think the general idea is a light coloured top as its easier for the boys to see light tops (The strappier the better ). Then perhaps jeans. I bought a new pair of Jeans today which I intend wearing but am still in search of the elusive top. I saw a cream one in Monsoon the other day but they had every size but mine . I'm still hoping they get more stock in soon but I'm running out of time! I'll also probably wear a trench coat or jacket, but am not sure yet.

    Hope that helps.

    Wow, FF61! 5th row is fantastic! I can imagine how excited you are. I can't believe I'm flying to London next Tuesday! It's my first time overseas, and only my second time on a plane , so all I can hope for is that everything will go okay. GA and I got the ILAA 5-star VIP tickets, but unfortunately we don't know yet where we'll be sitting. We're hoping for front row, of course! We want Glenn to perspire on us!

    It sounds as though you've attended some exciting concerts! The backstage pass at the Keane concert must have been such a thrill for you and your daughter.

    Regarding dress code (and you do NOT sound silly!), I'm going for the glamorous option, as I really want to impress Sugar (our pet name for Glenn ) if his eyes happen to fall on this humble Capetonian . Anyway, whatever you decide to wear, I'm sure you will look great!


    I've got a peaceful, easy feeling
    And I know Glenn won't let me down

    FF61, as for dress code for the Eagles, most people wear casual - jeans and maybe an Eagles t-shirt. I'd normally have worn one of my Glenn solo shirts, but I have to keep up with these smart youngsters (GA and MF ), so am wearing a pretty checked blouse over a pink sleeveless top. Believe me, neither pink or sleeveless are really me, so that blouse will stay in place!!
