Despite their 1972 single, the Eagles refused to take it easy during their Milwaukee tour stop on Thursday night. With nearly two and a half hours of great music and two very special guest spots, from country music legend Vince Gill and Eagles’ legacy, Deacon Frey (son of the late Glenn Frey), Don Henley, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit delivered a memorable performance at the city’s brand new Fiserv Forum, one of the first few concerts performed in the $524 million dollar arena.
From the very moments gates opened, fans knew they were in for a special evening. At one point the world thought the days of seeing the Rock & Roll Hall of Famers live were over, after the passing of frontman Glenn Frey in 2016. Fellow co-founder, Don Henley, naturally doubted that the band would tour again. But it wasn’t too long after, that the band found new life and a way to pay tribute to Frey. Not only did Henley, Walsh and Schmit add some star power with the addition of Vince Gill, but the band also helped fill the shoes of Frey by inviting his son, Deacon, for a string of live performances in 2017, shoes that Henley told the crowd on Thursday were very big to fill, to which the crowd rose from their seats to give Deacon Frey a well deserved standing ovation.
With no opener necessary, the Eagles hit the stage minutes after 8:00 and opened with Steve Young’s 1969 track, ‘Seven Bridges Road’. A track which the Eagles have performed for decades, ever since their Eagles Live album in 1980, ‘Seven Bridges Road’ was originally a pre-concert locker room warm up for the band, which is now a staple in the group’s setlist. While the track doesn’t have the notoriety that some of the Eagles’ original tracks have, it was a perfect opening track to warm up the band for the next two and a half hours.
Immediately the classics and hits came, as the young Frey led the band with a performance of the classic record and first single from the Eagles’ 1972 self-titled debut, ‘Take It Easy’. While the Eagles have been performing for nearly five decades, the youthful musician fit in perfectly. Glenn Frey’s oldest son still has some room to grow, as he is still a stranger to such a big stage when compared to the veterans who stood beside him, but he is hitting the ground running with his new gig.
The band then followed things up with more hits and fan favorites, including their records ‘One of These Nights’, from their fourth studio album, and ‘Take It To The Limit’, originally sung by former bass player, Randy Meisner, and now led by the 21-time Grammy winning Vince Gill.
Henley even showed off his sense of humor when introducing Gill, telling the crowd that “Vince and I had some cheese curds before this,” which was certainly a treat for the cheeseheads who filled the arena. While also thanking the crowd for coming out on a school night, Henley’s personality shined from start to finish.
The Eagles continued the momentum with their intoxicating track, ‘Tequila Sunrise’ (from Desperado) and ‘Witchy Woman (from their ’72 debut). Throughout the entire performance the band gave attention to their entire discography, while sprinkling in performances from some of Walsh and Gill’s solo work.
And to cap things off on an already great night, the Eagles said goodbye to Milwaukee with a special encore performance that included ‘Desperado’ and their biggest record, ‘Hotel California’. Needless to say, the Fiserv Forum was such a lovely place on Thursday night.
While the night stood out due to the band’s new additions, of Frey and Gill, and the decades of hits that filled up 26-song setlist, what was most enjoyable was the teamwork the band displayed throughout the show. The Eagles have been through their share of drama, and hostility between members was prevalent for a number of years, yet tonight in their current form, the band was a well oiled machine where no one member shined at the expense of others.
From the young Deacon Frey to Don Henley, everyone on stage last night delivered a great performance. Although the Eagles may be considered relatively tame when compared to Metallica and the Foo Fighters (who performed at the arena Tuesday and Wednesday), if you ask last night’s crowd, Henley, Walsh and company delivered the arena’s best concert yet and they certainly took it to the limit.

Rappers Future and Juice WRLD have combined forces for the hottest new collab of the month.
Titled ‘Fine China’, the Atlanta and Illinois natives make for an awesome duo on the new track, and hopefully just the first of many more to come in the future. Juice WRLD and Future have been in the studio for the past couple weeks, and fans are desperately hoping for a collaborative album to come.
Just days away from the release of their highly anticipated debut album, Anthem of the Peaceful Army, Michigan rockers Greta Van Fleet closed out the current leg of their headlining tour at The Sylvee, Madison’s brand new music venue. With a sold-out crowd, lead singer Josh Kiszka, brothers Jake and Sam on guitar and drummer Danny Wagner were all poised to deliver an energetic performance that would set the standard at The Sylvee for all bands that will soon follow.
Thursday night was a night for celebration for many reasons. Not only is rock’s biggest emerging band days away from their debut’s release date, while also capping off the current leg of their tour, but the band had also just announced its big North American tour for 2019, a tour which will also make its final appearance at Wisconsin’s capital city, this time across the street at the Breese Stevens Field. Many fans in Madison got their first taste of Greta Van Fleet live last evening, and without a doubt a majority of yesterday’s crowd will return for Round 2 next summer.
So as the general admission venue filled up and the audience filled their stomachs with a custom locally brewed Greta Van Fleet American Pale Ale, the Kiszka brothers and Wagner greeted the crowd with their breakout single and everyone’s favorite, ‘Highway Tune’.
And while it’s hard to imagine how a performance could possible go up-hill form there, Greta Van Fleet managed to pull it off with ‘Edge of Darkness’ which continued for nearly 10-minutes and featured a show-stopping guitar solo from Jake Kiszka and ended with Josh breaking his tambourine over his knee before throwing the pieces into the crowd for a few lucky fans. The track alone made the night feel like it would never end, and the crowd certainly didn’t want it to.
Throughout the night, Greta Van Fleet teased their new album while taking brief breaks between songs to talk to the crowd. “We’re not gonna lie, this is one of the greatest audiences we’ve ever seen,” Josh told the crowd after ‘You’re The One’, a new record from their upcoming album.
And not only was it a great audience, but it was an especially diverse audience, proving that Greta Van Fleet’s music casts a wide net and is for anyone to enjoy. The front row was filled with middle aged men and women who likely grew up on hard rock while also mixed with college kids who walked to the venue from their campus apartments. Nothing brings people together like music.
As the night went on, the crowd watched in awe as Greta Van Fleet showed off their veteran talents and stage presence, despite being less than a week away from their first full length project and barely old enough to drink their own custom ale. Then, to cap off an already memorable night, Greta Van Fleet said goodbye to their Madison fans with performances of ‘Black Smoke Rising’ and ‘Safari Song’.
Although Badger fans won’t be rooting for anything Michigan related this weekend, as the University of Wisconsin football team faces Michigan in Ann Arbor, Wisconsin is all in on Greta Van Fleet, as is the rest of the music world. The band is easy to root for, and whether or not hard rock is you go-to genre of choice, you can’t help but be impressed by Greta Van Fleet’s revival of a nostalgic sound from decades past.
As more people become aware of the awesomeness that is Greta Van Fleet, the only question that remains is will the Breese Steven Field be a big enough venue for the band by the time summer comes along?

With Michigan’s Greta Van Fleet set to conclude their current tour tomorrow night at Madison’s brand new venue, The Sylvee, the emerging rockers have just announced their 2019 North American tour, which will also conclude at Wisconsin’s capital city.

Chance The Rapper’s Kanye West-produced album, Good Ass Job, is on its way, but don’t expect a surprise drop in the immediate future. In a sit down interview with Tim Westwood, Chance revealed that Kanye’s forthcoming LP Yandhi is amazing but “coming sooner than Good Ass Job.“
Chance also revealed that he is in charge of the album and the “longer (Kanye) stays (in Chicago) the more connections that’ll happen… I want to do a good ass job on everything.” We don’t know when the project will drop but the Chicago rapper revealed that some songs are done, and we certainly expect greatness from the highly anticipated album.
