New Interview from Billboard!

After last night's Q&A (after the premiere of the movie), Billboard magazine sat down for an exclusive Q&A with Don and Glenn.  It's an interesting article that provides some insight into the project and their history.

The official movie trailer can be viewed on the Eagles official site.

DVD dates announced for Showtime

The new DVD, History of the Eagles - The story of an American Band, will premiere on Showtime on Feb. 15 and Feb. 16, both at 8pm ET.  Part 1 will be on the 15th, and Part 2 on the 16th.  Check your TV listings for channel numbers.

Recent interviews by Glenn as well as the director Ellwood and producer Gibney have said the movie shows rare footage of past concerts, and tells a true story without painting anyone as a villain.  Part 2 is said to feature Joe and be more moving than Part 1.
