Happy New Year everyone and let's hope it's a better year for all of us!
Today, we take a look back at June 8,1975 for The Eagles show at Milwaukee County Stadium when they played with the Rolling Stones and Chaka Kahn.
It was a very, very hot June day and the house was packed.
I remember that the press box where I shot these photos from was shaking so much, because of the crowd in the grandstands, that my cameras actually shook!!
These photos from June were just before the band members changed. Bernie Leodon was about to leave and Joe Walsh was coming at the end of 1975. Timothy B. Schmit would come in a couple of years and the sound of The Eagles was complete.
Enjoy a look back to our old Milwaukee County Stadium and the Eagles.
Be safe everyone!
Thanks,

The Eagles started out as Linda Ronstadt's band and became a huge arena and large stadium packing band.
Hotel California was probably their biggest and most successful song and album.
The little backup band by 1980 was huge. Many guitars and Joe Walsh were added along with Timothy B. Schmidt from Poco.
My blog last week was about the Eagles of 1975 and here is the 1980 lineup. It has less banjo and more electric guitars.
This little band from California had now become one of the biggest bands ever. I think that they were the biggest band around until Fleetwood Mac with Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham came along.
Enjoy a look back at 1980.

In 1975, the Eagles did a stadium tour in the United States with the Rolling Stones and Rufus with Chaka Kahn.
It was a very hot day in June when they played Milwaukee County Stadium.
The crowd was huge and the place was packed.
The backstage area had Winnebago recreational vehicles for dressing rooms and lounges for the bands and crew.
Enjoy a look back to a hot summer day like today here in Milwaukee!
