    This isn't a tribute band but a tribute song to the Eagles - it's pretty good, IMO. Seth Burke has a good voice:

    Very nice! I like how he incorporated all the song titles into the track. It does remind me of Glenn's comment on HOTE about people doing things to the Eagles too, which is also great. I did find myself wondering how it would sound with a slightly more 'Eagles-like' production - I could easily imagine it sounding a bit like TIE if a B-bender Telecaster was used, for example.

    Don't know if you still visit these boards Jeremy but thank you very much for the info. The Long Run is playing the Funky Biscuit in Boca again next week and I'm very tempted to take a road trip up there. Never seen an Eagles tribute band before, it may be a surreal experience!

    This is a slightly unusual case of a group of local (South Florida) musicians coming together to perform an Eagles album, On the Border, in its entirety. I'm definitely intrigued, and impressed that they didn't choose the more widely known Hotel California.

    Calling an album that spawned a No. 1 single and sold more than two million copies “obscure” seems a bit off.

    But when the band is the Eagles — the most commercially successful American group in popular music history that regrouped this month for two Classic West and Classic East festival concerts in Los Angeles and New York — “On the Border” is not the first album that comes to mind. Merely popular gets overlooked when you’ve got a pop culture landmark like the made-in-Miami “Hotel California” in your catalog.

    Yet that’s precisely why Mad Cat Theatre Company musical director Paul Tei is so excited about performing the Eagles’ third album as the latest installment of the Mad Cat Live! contemporary concert series.

    Wow, that's interesting for a number of reasons, particularly since some songs will get played that I don't believe the Eagles ever played live such as "On The Border" and "Is It True."

    I'm looking forward to it. It wouldn't be reasonable to expect that their harmonies will be as heavenly as the real thing, but I'm hoping they're at least competent!

    They are a very talented group of musicians. They weren't trying to imitate the band (though one of the guitarists had on an old school University of Colorado t-shirt just like Glenn's, and one of the roadies was seen striding down the aisle in a tinfoil helmet like Joe's) but stayed mostly faithful to the arrangements.

    The only time I felt the wheels starting to come off the bus was "New Kid in Town" - as an encore - with an ill-advised varied tempo ending. But they redeemed themselves with a gospel-tinged "Take It to the Limit" (similar to the version on Randy's 1978 solo album) and a rousing TIE.

    Probably the biggest response from the audience was for the title track of "On the Border," done as a blazing rocker. It deepened the mystery for me as to why the real Eagles don't play this song live. Joe Walsh, with his hard funk style, could tear this one up. Maybe it's too demanding on Don H. as a singer to also be playing heavy drums.

    The band I saw yesterday had a female drummer and she was great. She could also sing the high notes on TITTL, helping out her male bandmates.
