History of the Eagles – Live in Concert

History of the Eagles – Live in Concert was a concert tour by the American rock band the Eagles. It was launched in conjunction with the release of the 2013 documentary History of the Eagles. The tour visited North America and Europe between 2013 and 2014 as well as Oceania in early 2015. It began in Louisville, Kentucky at the KFC Yum! Center and concluded on July 29, 2015 in Bossier City, Louisiana. The tour included Bernie Leadon, who was in the original lineup of the band, and would have also included Randy Meisner, but he was too ill to perform at the time. Don Felder was, however, excluded because of ongoing lawsuits against the group, despite settling them in 2007. It was the last tour to involve Glenn Frey before his death in 2016.

Critical reception
Howard Cohen from Miami.com praised the performance in Miami, noting the "harmonies – pristine, soaring and spot-on —uncannily have remained as peerless as they were on the original recordings." Jim Harrington from San Jose Mercury News gave a mixed review of the performance in San Jose, writing the show "was a very educational, and sometimes interesting, affair – but I'm not sure I'd want to take the course again." Francis Pelliccario from The Lantern gave a positive review of the show in Columbus, writing the band "brought the show back down to earth with the true meaning of rock 'n’ roll."

Controversy
In January 2024, Kellye Croft, who was employed as a massage therapist for the Eagles in 2013, alleged in a lawsuit that James Dolan sexually assaulted her when he toured with the Eagles during the 2013 portion of the History of the Eagles: Live In Concert tour. Dolan's band JD & The Straight Shot opened for Eagles concerts during the tour. Dolan, a prominent businessman who also has served as the lead MSG executive, was believed to have financed the tour with a large sum of his money as well.
