As the Eagles’ final tour continues, Rhino has released a definitive, career-spanning collection that combines the band’s greatest hits with beloved album tracks and classic live performances. To The Limit: The Essential Collection arrived on April 12, 2024, as a 3-CD set and as a deluxe 6-LP set on 180-gram vinyl. The title is available in the U.S. here and in the U.K. here.
From the Feb. 7 announcement: To The Limit curates 51 songs from the studio albums and live recordings the Eagles released between 1972 and 2020. All of the band’s best-known tracks are here, including the #1 hits “New Kid In Town,” “One Of These Nights,” “Best Of My Love,” “Hotel California,” and “Heartache Tonight.” The set also features plenty of fan favorites with songs like “Desperado,” “Victim Of Love,” and “In The City.”
Beyond the studio, To The Limit highlights the Eagles’ impressive touring legacy with more than a dozen electrifying live tracks. These feature selections from Eagles Live (1980) – including the Top 40 hit “Seven Bridges Road” – as well as songs from Hell Freezes Over (1994), The Millennium Concert (2000), Live At The Forum ’76 (2017), and Live From The Forum MMXVIII (2020). See the complete track listing below.
Eagles – Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit, with Vince Gill and Deacon Frey – are presenting the band’s final tour, aptly titled “The Long Goodbye,” and will head overseas starting May 31 for a residency at the new Co-Op Live in Manchester, the largest indoor arena in the U.K. Due to ticket demand, the tour is expected to extend into 2025, with additional rumors of a residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas. Tickets are available at Ticketmaster and here.
With a remarkable 50-plus years of touring experience, Eagles have performed over 1,000 concerts worldwide.
