Few individuals are as important to the history of popular music as Don Henley. While he may not be as important as one of the Beatles, Henley was a founding member of the Eagles and later launched a hugely successful solo career. He’s been a part of the music landscape for over 50 years as a drummer, guitarist, singer, and so much more. Henley has won countless awards, including several Grammys, as a member of the Eagles and a solo artist. He’s had more than two dozen top-40 singles and sold more than 10 million records, and that doesn’t even include his work with the Eagles. His mix of musical accomplishments are truly unique and impressive, which is why any opportunity to see Henley perform live, even in the later stages of his career, is something that should excite every music lover.

The Hits Keep Coming

Thanks to his days with the Eagles, Henley has an almost endless catalog of songs he can perform during every concert. After all, he was the lead vocalist on some of the Eagles’ biggest hits like “Hotel California,” “Witchy Woman,” “Desperado,” “One of These Nights,” and countless others. He came close to matching that success as a solo artist with timeless classics like “The Boys of Summer,” “Sunset Grills,” “The End of the Innocence,” and many others. On top of that, Henley has collaborated with countless artists as a songwriter or duet partner, giving him another section of his repertoire that he’s capable of pulling out of his hat. Of course, Henley knows exactly what his fans want from him, so his setlist often includes a mix of songs from his entire career, meaning fans always get to hear their favorite song, not to mention a full score from Henley’s incredible career.

Curtain Call

Needless to say, Henley is in the twilight of his career, even if he can still tour and play concerts after age 70. Musically, he’s still as sharp as ever and still spends time touring as the last original member of the Eagles. Of course, music fans never know when they’re going to have their last chance to see Henley perform and experience one of the true legends in the history of music in person, making every Don Henley concert a special occasion.
