Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit and Vince Gill of the Eagles treated fans to "Hotel California" and "Their Greatest Hits" in Phoenix concert.

It’s never easy to narrow down a list of anything to the 10 best. When it comes to putting together a list of the Top 10 musical acts to pass through the Pittsburgh area in 2022, it’s an especially daunting task with the embarrassment of riches we saw this year.

Much water has flowed under many an Arkansas bridge since The Eagles made their Natural State debut in the summer of 1972 as the opening act at Barton Coliseum for the British progressive rock group Yes on that band's "Close to the Edge" tour.

Brian Stanley may be the Zelig of rock ‘n’ roll. He’s been front and center at moments of rock ‘n’ roll history—such as the Stones’ 1969 Hyde Park concert. And he has been on stage, as a sideman, with a who’s who of rock fame, from Bryan Adams to Garland Jeffreys, and even had some odd but endearingly odd encounters with Brian Wilson. But his real moment of glory came when he played bass for the Kinks at an Earth Day concert at Foxboro Stadium. Many funny and productive encounters later, he shares his memories with JP Olsen and PKM.

The Eagles, with Vince Gill, played all of "Hotel California" and more hits in a 3-hour show Thursday at Austin's Moody Center. They play again Friday.
