Is classic rock even considered classic anymore? With the amount of touring legendary acts have been plotting, one can argue that it's been engraved into modern times. The production and immaculate attention to detail when crafting a setlist are just some of the ways that the classic rockers are coming out on top these days. Let's take the Eagles as a prime example. Their 2018 North American tour has stolen the hearts of music critics alike, as they boldly have claimed Eagles to be the "greatest American rock band of all time." They make a point there, I can't imagine "Hotel California" ever leaving the radio.

Their continued popularity can be accounted for in the number of sold out shows they've done on this tour alone. So whats the secret recipe that's conducting all this? I think it's time we spill the beans. Check out Eagles' tour spoilers below.
