The 1970s will come alive on Saturday, August 1st at the Brownwood Coliseum in Brownwood, Texas. The West Texas Rehabilitation Center’s 2015 Remembering When event will feature an Eagles Tribute show by Fastlane. Presented by Central Texas Farm Credit, ACA on the Black Plumbing Stage with additional support from Entertainment Sponsor, KTAB NEWS and local sponsors Citizens National Bank of Brownwood and KOHLER Company, the evening program offers a unique, memorable event.
The Eagles were defined by the high-flying 70s and classified as superstars. Formed in 1971, they became one of America’s biggest bands. Original members included Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Bernie Leadon, and Randy Meisner. Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975 album is one of the best selling of all time, with more than 26 million copies being sold and had the honor of being the first certified platinum album by the Recording Association of America. Numerous albums and hits followed giving them the distinction of selling more albums in the 1970s than any other American band. Classic Eagles’ hit songs include: Life in the Fast Lane; Already Gone; The Long Run; Desperado; Heartache Tonight; Best of My Love; Lyin’ Eyes; Take it to the Limit; Take It Easy; Hotel California and many more. Through breakups and reunions, the Eagles’ music continues to be some of the best in the history of Rock.
While everyone is sure to have a favorite Eagles’ song, Fastlane, the Southwest’s premier Eagles tribute band will offer up a great show. In fact, the band attributes its success to the overwhelming popularity of the Eagles’ music. Band leader and founding member Todd Guinn was born and raised in Dallas. Always a fan of both rock and country music, he felt there was a definite void in the DFW Metroplex of country rock so he decided to form Fastlane. Since then, the group has played all over Texas and beyond. They will have you on your feet dancing, singing and enjoying that “Peaceful Easy Feeling” once more.
