The Eagles have landed.
The legendary rock band brought its show (and 10 accompanying trailers of equipment) to Mizzou Arena on Tuesday night for a three-hour set, which included classics, such as "Hotel California," "Take it Easy," "Desperado" and plenty of new material from the band's seventh studio album, Long Road out of Eden.
After opening with the single "How Long" off of Eden, founding member Don Henley jokingly introduced the show as the "Eagles' assisted-living tour," a nod to the band's average age of 61.
Henley was joined by co-founder Glenn Frey along with Timothy B. Schmit and Joe Walsh, who have been with the band since the mid-1970s.
Mizzou Arena was nearly sold out, despite ticket prices for the concert ranging from $89 to $184.
The Eagles will tour internationally through the summer after several domestic stops in the next month, including a show March 28 at the Sprint Center in Kansas City.
