Eagles

Band performed "Come Monday" and "Fins" at their tour launch in New York City.

Evening included tributes to Randy Meisner and Jimmy Buffett.

He appeared on the group's first five albums, singing lead on the smash hit "Take It to the Limit."

Second shows have been scheduled in half a dozen U.S. cities.

Longtime friends Steely Dan will serve as the opening act.

Each LP made room for that one inherently skippable track.

New house in L.A. suburbs is small but luxurious with its enormous backyard pool.

Ray Charles and Stephen Foster were linchpins in title track to band's second album.

Award show also made history as the only time a tie for Song of the Year occurred.

They'll play the classic album in full along with a greatest hits set.
