Four decades after “Hotel California,” the Eagles played it live at American Airlines Center Feb. 29 and March 1. Your next opportunity to see the band is March 17. Thor Christensen, long-time music critic, wrote a review for the Dallas Morning News. “The hour-long ‘Hotel California’ opening set was a mixed bag. It opened with a bang — the mysterious title track, ‘New Kid’ and the ripsnorting ‘Life in the Fast Lane’ — but it drifted during the album’s ballad-heavy B-side. After an intermission, however, the Eagles came roaring back for two hours of greatest hits.”
Don Henley, who lives in Preston Hollow, not Cali, is very private, but has been generous when it comes to playing at school auctions, including the Shelton School. After band member Glenn Frey’s death, Henley has assembled Vince Gill, Frey’s 26-year-old son, Deacon, an orchestra and a choir. “Henley, the band’s resident soul singer, did a decent job of working with a voice that’s grown rougher with age. At 72, he could still hit the falsetto notes in ‘One of These Nights’ and ‘Witchy Woman,'” wrote Christensen.
Henley’s 15,000-square-foot house in Preston Hollow, which was built in 1996, features six bedrooms, six fireplaces and three wet bars.
