Memorabilia -> Music Memorabilia -> Eagles

Band and concert shirts are one of the most popular forms of music-related collectibles, so the Eagles shirt is a highly collectible way to celebrate a band with an almost 40-year history. The Eagles formed in 1971, and have influenced rock music and the music industry since. Their Greatest Hits 1971-1775 has sold 29 million copies in the US, making it the best-selling album of all time in the United States. It was also the first album to hold the distinction of going platinum, according to the certification created in 1976 by the record industry. These songs are still played today alongside modern music.

The 4 albums following their Greatest Hits all went to #1, and they managed to outsell every other American band. Even though the band broke up in 1980 and didn’t reunite until 1994, they still sold 1.5 million copies of their records each year during that period. Their reunion in 1994 resulted in the album Hell Freezes Over which contained live songs and some studio tracks and unsurprisingly went to #1. They’ve been enjoying continued success ever since. The Eagles shirt, whether a vintage shirt from their early days or from their most recent appearances, is one of the most popular collectibles from this staple of American music history.

While the makeup of the band has changed over the years, current members are Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Joe Walsh and Timothy Schmit. They released a new album in 2007 called Long Road Out of Eden, their first full studio album in 28 years. And according to lead man Don Henley, it will probably be the last album they ever release. Their world tour to support the album, which started in March 2008, offers the Eagles shirt alongside other band memorabilia, making it a great collectible especially if the album truly is the last they release.

Their most recent album and tour is unique, not just because it’s supposed to be the last, but in the manner the band released it to the public and the sales experiment it represented. It was set up so that during its first year of release in the United States it could only be purchased through the Eagles’ website, and Wal-Mart and Sam’s Clubs. Those living in other countries can purchase it through traditional means. The album opened at #1 in the US, UK, Norway, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Australia, and became their seventh release to hit platinum status at least 7 times over. Because it’s the last album, if for no other reason, the Eagles shirt commemorating Long Road Out of Eden will become a popular band collectible.

The Eagles shirt is typically easy to find in online in auctions. Concert shirts are more valuable than other shirts, even if they’re official Eagles merchandise. And always read the auction carefully to make sure you’re getting an authentic tour or band shirt, as opposed to one made by another manufacturer, in the condition you expect.
