Eagles farewell tour setlist: Every song they played in Phoenix on the Long Goodbye Tour
The Eagles brought their farewell tour, the Long Goodbye Tour, to downtown Phoenix Friday, Jan. 19, for the first performance of a two-night stand at Footprint Center, welcoming fans with the a cappella harmonies of “Seven Bridges Road,” a live staple that became a hit when they included it on 1980’s “Eagles Live.”
The last time the Eagles played Phoenix, they were on a 2023 Hotel California Tour, revisiting their most iconic studio release in its entirety, which meant dusting off rarely played treasures as timeless as “The Last Resort” and “Try and Love Again.”
For the Long Goodbye Tour, they’ve put the focus squarely on their greatest hits, including nearly every song on “Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975),” which remains the most successful greatest hits collection in the history of rock ‘n’ roll.
Even the hits that weren’t actual hits are such seminal Eagles recordings that there’s a decent chance most people singing along would be surprised to learn “Tequila Sunrise” peaked at No. 64 on Billboard’s Hot 100 and “Desperado” was never released as a single.
That song would've been a massive hit.
