This week we celebrate Timothy B. Schmit’s birthday! The bassist and vocalist for the Poco and the Eagles turns 73 years old on October 30th.
Today we look back at an Eagles tour we thought we’d never see. After a 14 year hiatus (or “vacation” as Glenn Frey put it) the Eagles reunited in 1994 with the five Long Run-era members: Frey, Schmit, Don Henley, Joe Walsh and Don Felder. The band went on a massive world tour that lasted over two years. Luckily we got to see tail end of that tour when the Eagles came to Hartford in 1996.
