Eagles Close Out Summerfest 2013 On July 7 | Ticket Prices And Availabilty

The final night of Summerfest 2013 will feature The Eagles at the Marcus Amphitheater. On July 7, Glen Frey, Don Henley, Joe Walsh and Tim Schmit will do their best to make thousands of fans happy. This one is sure to sell out fast, so get your Eagles Summerfest tickets now.

The band started way back in 1972.  Their early music was more of a country sound, with a soft rock feel. Those days have long since passed, and their current lineup is most heavily influenced by Glen and Don.  After all, that pair had certainly pushed their way to the top of the food chain. In order to keep a tight grip on the band, original members like Bernie Leadon, and Randy Meisner would struggle to stick with Henley and Frey.  Meisner found the road to be too lonely, and Leadon couldn't watch the band turn into your run of the mill rock act.   Leadon was credited for all that defined the early Eagles.  By 1975, the band was obviously going in another direction.

The Eagles stayed together for eight years, and in that time they recorded six albums.  Nearly every album spawned hit songs.  By the end of it all, the band had sold millions of records, but pretty much hated each other.  Would they ever get back together again?  Fourteen years later the world had their answer.  Yes, the Eagles would reunite.  Ticket prices for the Eagles show vary, depending on the section.  Don't forget, ticket prices include admission to the Summerfest grounds.  While you are there, feel free to walk the grounds and check out some of the more up to date musical acts.

Eagles Reunion In 1994 

In 1994 the band was inspired to reunite after helping make a video for Travis Tritt.  Sometimes the wounds just heal over, and everyone forgets why they were so sick of each other.  That was certainly the case for the Eagles.  They settled their differences and went on to charge the highest ticket prices for a modern rock band.  If they were going to get together, it was going to cost the fans big bucks to see them perform songs from twenty years back.  In fact, the disk that they made to support the tour cost a whopping $60 each.  That effort alone raked in over sixteen million dollars for those credited as writers.  Henley and Frey insisted on getting the highest share of the profits from their reunion and disk.  That prompted Don Felder to seek legal recourse.  That wasn't the first time that the dynamic duo would have to settle up with what most people feel are equal members of the band.

After 28 years, without a single note of new material, the Eagles released Long Road Out Of Eden.  It certainly seemed like a long road to their fans.  The band teamed up with the controversial retail chain Wal-Mart as their lone retail outlet with the rights to sell the disk.  That was of little matter to the general public, as the disk went multi-platinum.   

New Kids On The Block Summerfest 2013 Show July 2

The New Kids On The Block are coming to Summerfest 2013. This "Boy Band" is made up of men who hit the big time back in 1990 with their hit song titled Step By Step.  They will "step" onto the Marcus stage on July 2.  They won't be the only "blast from the past" that night.  Backing them up are Boyz II Men, and 98 Degrees.  You can almost hear the screaming fans right now.  It will be an evening of memories, great singing, and possibly some old dance moves that had long since been forgotten.

What prompted NKOTB to reunite?  Some things just work out right, and that was the case for the band.  They worked behind closed doors six years ago, and came out with a new album, their first in a very long time.  Back in 1995, the band had called it quits, but there was no bad blood.  That left the door open for a reunion, the one that occurred in 2008. Since then, the band has pretty much stayed together.  Their new album is titled "10."




  

Tom Petty Summerfest 2013 | New Petty Album Coming Out In June

Once again, Tom Petty will perform at Summerfest. Petty has been here twelve times before, and his fans have no problem with that.  In fact, it's as if Mr. Petty builds his tours around the stop in Milwaukee.  June 28 is the date, and Tom Petty tickets can be found here.  Yes, the Heartbreakers are coming along for the ride.

Petty Releases Mojo In June

On top of this fantastic tour stop, the band has a new album coming out in June.  The album is titled "Mojo" and it's the first disk in the past eight years.  Prior to this release, the last album to come from the Petty "camp" was a live anthology.  That release was in 2009.  So it's safe to say that the new material will be a sight for sore eyes (and ears.)  Listening to a sample of the new disk gives hints that Petty has gone back to what works best, rock and roll with hint of roadhouse licks.

Tom Petty has always felt that his musical efforts should not be influenced by the record label. He likes to protect his music, but has been "copied" by other bands such as The Strokes and Red Hot Chili Peppers. He sees little problem with other artists being heavily influenced by his music, but is steadfast in his refusal to allow corporations to take liberties with his songs.
