Hell Freezes Over

The soap that you never missed or got completely engrossed in, Wonderful3693.

What's the best comeback album or reunion tour that you've ever seen? One of my friends is in the DVD for the Eagles' Hell Freezes Over tour.

He was wandering into Rod Laver Arena.

And there he was, Ian Johnson, terrific bloke, media executive, crown boss at one point, and fantastic bloke, and also supporter of the Sorrento Footy Club.

We might take a break and be back shortly because there's so much on, so many calls.

Wondable3693, what was the soap opera that you never missed or back when you could just, you had to be home and you had to be there and you just had to see it each night? Wondable3693.

comeback albums like hell freezes over for the eagles um and uh favorite television game shows and game show hosts over time wonderful three six nine three back soon and thank you to greg who's working on the program tonight audio producing but he's brought back the memory of the press your luck scandal which was a game show in the united states i don't think it was ever here in australia but in 1984 a fellow named michael larson's um record-breaking win of 110 000 now in 1984 that was a lot of money maybe around 400 maybe 450 000 here in australia um He was a fellow who liked to study what was going on on the game shows.

So he studied the show and discovered there was a randomized game board.

May 7th of 1995, the Eagles played at DKR, and that was when it was still just called Memorial Stadium.

Their hell freezes over to her.

I remember in 1996, Willie Nelson.

That's when they rededicated it to DKR.

That's what I would have guessed.

But there's your answer.

ZZ Top, the Eagles, Hell Freezes Over.

There was a report, I remember the story, I don't know if it was a wives' tale or not, that somebody poured a beer on top of the governor's head.

Only one comes to mind, and it comes to mind immediately just as a gut check as soon as you ask that question.

I'm sure there are others I could think of, but Eagles, Hell Freezes Over.

Oh, that is a good one.

And I think for it to be the best live album, it has to be one.

But when I'm thinking about listening albums all the way through, there's some Broadway in there.

Yeah.

But Eagles Hell Freezes Over is number one.

Good pick, sir.

number four.

So number four, Eagles, Hell Freezes Over, 1994.

How old are you again? Can I just check?

Your dislike of the Eagles is unacceptable.

Look, I've got it set upstairs staring at me in the face, the vinyl.

So I will, you know...

Anyway, Eagles, Hell Freezes Over, rocking concert.

They then went on and toured the hell out of it.

I was a kid.

And I saw the Eagles come back together for their Hell Freezes Over tour.

And I thought, I really like the Eagles.

I'm going to buy a ticket.

For the Super Bowl, I might have paid that.

But I am curious, though.

If you want to call in, what is the most you've ever paid to see something? Again, I paid $200 for a single ticket to see the Eagles on their Hell Freezes Over Tour.

It was actually the second show they did coming back on the Hell Freezes Over Tour.

In 1994, the Eagles released Get Over It.

This was the lead single from their Hell Freezes Over album.

It was their first studio release after their 14-year breakup.

It was written by Don Henley and Glenn Frey.

Mike and I are both halfway through it.

We get up to the split in 1980, and then they, they move into the Hell Freezes Over period from 1994.

14 years.

They took a 14-year break.

So the Eagles, obviously, got, got back together in 1994.

Had a clever name, right? When Hell Freezes Over [laughs] Tour, which I think was a, a quote from Don Henley, right? "You guys ever gonna get back together?" "When hell freezes over." So then you had Kiss in 1996.

They didn't have any...

They didn't have a clever name for, for theirs.

As well as The Eagles.

Um, their Hell Freezes Over tour from '94 to '96 was a really popular kinda comeback tour.

Uh, that just goes to show you that when folks like what they like, they like what they like, and they will get back out and sort of, uh, continue to support 'em even when they can't, you know, hit the same kind of...

It shouldn't, and you shouldn't be able to.
