Eagles hit stage for first night at Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Alpharetta


ALPHARETTA -- Anxious crowds from across the southeast packed the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre at Encore park to see the venue's first rock concert featuring one of the biggest selling acts of all time, The Eagles.

The Eagles kicked off their first of a sold-out, four show stand in Alpharetta in low-key fashion, taking the venue's huge stage in matching suits. There was no opening band, no hype -- Glen Frey, Don Henley, Timothy Schmit and Joe Walsh just took the stage and launched into a mix of hits from their 2007 record "Long Road Out of Eden" and their previous classic albums.

Though it was only the venue's first rock show, it was pulled off without a hitch, with friendly staff directing newcomers through the amphitheatre. Add ample parking, quick shuttle service, good food and more than adequate traffic direction and emergency services by the Alpharetta Public Safety Department, and its easy to see why so many people had smiles on their faces the whole night.

The sound and atmosphere of the venue was simply incredible, and everyone in attendance grooved through the night in the cool May breeze.
