Live from the Forum MMXVIII is the third live album and a concert film from the Eagles. It records the concerts at the Forum in Inglewood, California that took place over three nights in September 2018. It is the first release to feature new band members Deacon Frey and Vince Gill alongside Don Henley, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit. Deacon, son of the late former band member Glenn Frey, and Gill joined the band following the death of the elder Frey in 2016. It was released on October 16, 2020, in a variety of formats, including CD, DVD and Blu-ray.[1]

Background

[edit]

In 2016, after Glenn Frey died, Don Henley decided that the band would not play again.[2] However, Henley reversed his decision and announced in March 2017 that the Eagles would perform in two festivals organized by their manager Irving Azoff that featured classic rock bands, starting with The Classic West festival held at Dodger Stadium in July that year.[3] Henley brought in Frey's son Deacon to perform with the remaining members of the Eagles in these shows after he saw Deacon perform Glenn Frey's songs at his memorial service.[4] According to Henley, in order for the band to continue, "the only way it felt justified to me was to have family blood in the band".[5] They were also joined by Vince Gill who performed at the Kennedy Center Honors in December 2016 where the Eagles were one of the honorees.[4] Gill "fit like a glove", according to Henley.[6][5] After the festival performances in Los Angeles and New York, the band announced that a North American tour featuring Deacon Frey and Vince Gill would begin in March 2018 in Chicago,[7] to be followed by a world tour in 2019.[8] Another world tour scheduled for 2020, titled the Hotel California 2020 Tour, was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[9]

The North American tour included a three-night stop (September 12, 14 and 15, 2018) at the Forum in Los Angeles, California, where the concerts were recorded.[10] The setlist included many of the best-known songs of the Eagles, but also hits recorded by individual members, such as Henley's "The Boys of Summer", Walsh's "Life's Been Good" and Gill's "Don't Let Our Love Start Slippin' Away".[11] The band performed 26 songs every night apart from the show on September 14 when they performed 27 songs, adding "The Long Run" to their second encore.[12] The recordings of the concerts were compiled into a 26-song live album and concert film.[13] The only song on their setlist omitted on this release is "Witchy Woman", with "The Long Run" from September 14 added instead.

The film of the concert was directed by Nick Wickham and filmed on 14 4K cameras.[14] It premiered on ESPN on July 5, 2020, the first time a concert was shown on the sports network.[15]

The recordings were released for sale on October 16, 2020, in several audio and video formats and in various configurations, including a super deluxe box set with Blu-ray, two CDs and four LPs.[16]

At one point during the video, bassist Timothy B. Schmit (who made the bulk of the between-song announcements) tells the live audience that his predecessor Randy Meisner is in the house. However, Meisner is not shown on camera.
