拉斯维加斯的夜色或许能掩盖星光，但有时你仍能在一个耀眼的穹顶下发现它们的踪迹。
地球上最伟大的乐队之一——老鹰乐队（The Eagles）——正在先进的拉斯维加斯Sphere场馆驻场演出，乐队联合创始人唐·亨利（Don Henley）、资深吉他手乔·沃尔什（Joe Walsh）以及乡村音乐巨星文斯·吉利（Vince Gill）领衔主演。
而每当老鹰乐队在此演出时，场馆总是座无虚席。
老鹰乐队的”奇迹历程”
“我想我们算是一种经典的存在了，”亨利说。”我们的首张专辑于1972年发行。已经为观众演出了53年。所以，你知道，这真是一段奇迹般的历程。”
而上个月这一历程变得更加神奇——1970年代的一张老鹰乐队专辑《Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975)》（《他们的精选集》）被认证为四倍钻石唱片（即销量超过4000万张），成为史上最畅销的专辑，巩固了其地位。
“《Greatest Hits》（《精选集》）这个名字有点名不副实。它应该被称为’他们的最佳歌曲集’，因为这张专辑里的每一首歌都不是热门单曲。你知道吗？这张专辑里有几首歌甚至没有进入前30名。但它们都是好歌。例如，《Desperado》（《亡命之徒》）从未作为单曲发行，我们没有，琳达·朗丝黛（Linda Ronstadt）也没有。”亨利说。
亨利补充道，这张专辑其实并非乐队的初衷，基本上是唱片公司强加给他们的。但乐队”根本无法阻止他们”，亨利开玩笑说。
“我们抱怨过。哦，当然。这都有记录。”他笑着说。
已故乐队成员格伦·弗雷的遗产
亨利说，与已故乐队成员格伦·弗雷（Glenn Frey）共同创作《Desperado》是两人首次作为词曲创作伙伴合作。他补充说，他们一拍即合，弗雷很快获得了”孤独编曲家”的昵称。
“因为他非常擅长编曲，”亨利解释道。
弗雷于10年前去世，享年67岁，但他的遗产影响深远。
演出前，粉丝们可以在一个名为”老鹰乐队第三次安可”（Eagles’ Third Encore）的地方进行一场真实的回忆之旅——这里几乎是乐队历史上关键地点的等身模型，包括洛杉矶Troubadour夜总会的复制品，其中还设有一个真正营业的酒吧。
但亨利演出前的常规热身活动已与过去不同。他不再喝龙舌兰酒，而是做仰卧起坐来热身。
“我不做发声练习，因为没用。我从核心肌群发声，所以保持腹部肌肉形状能让我唱得更好，”他说，笑着补充道，”我没有六块腹肌之类的，但下面某处肯定有。”
迪肯·弗雷接替已故父亲的位置
演出中最令人动容的时刻之一，是弗雷的儿子迪肯（Deacon）在他父亲的位置上登台，常常拿着父亲的吉他演唱父亲的歌曲。
“我感到无比自豪。前几天晚上他替乔（Joe Walsh）演出时，我几乎热泪盈眶，”亨利说。
亨利表示，他不确定没有弗雷乐队还能否继续演出，但乐队同意继续，前提是迪肯能加入他们。
作为三个孩子的父亲，亨利在乐队之外一直拥有丰富的生活，最近他还与电影制片人肯·伯恩斯（Ken Burns）合作制作了一部关于亨利·大卫·梭罗（Henry David Thoreau）的PBS纪录片。
“他所处时代的所见所闻与我们现在的处境有很多相似之处。正如马克·吐温所说，’历史不会重演，但往往押韵。’我认为现在就发生着这样的事，”亨利说。
未来计划
老鹰乐队将在今年夏天再举办几场现场演出，延续拉斯维加斯的驻场演出至4月，演出中融入了他们最初创作音乐时不存在的尖端技术。
“那个穹顶里的音响系统是世界上绝无仅有的。大约有167,000个扬声器，”亨利谈及Sphere场馆时说。
老鹰乐队的巡演名为”漫长告别”（The Long Goodbye），但亨利说这次是认真的。
“你知道，我认为今年可能就是最后一次了。我以前也说过类似的话，但我觉得我们接近尾声了。那也没关系，”亨利说。
经过50多年的演出，亨利表示每晚都要鼓足勇气才能演唱老鹰乐队的经典歌曲。
“过了一段时间，你会学会与这些歌曲交朋友，”他说。”这与我们无关，而是关乎这些歌对我们演出对象的意义。你必须每晚用心去演奏。”亨利补充道，”音乐是良药。现在人们需要一些’药’。”
Don Henley reflects on the Eagles’ “miraculous run,” Glenn Frey, and their last chapter
February 8, 2026 / 10:20 AM EST / CBS News
The nighttime lights of Las Vegas can hide the stars, but sometimes you can still find them under one dazzling roof.
One of the greatest bands on Earth — the Eagles — are in residence at the state-of-the-art Las Vegas Sphere, led by the band’s co-founder Don Henley, along with longtime guitarist Joe Walsh and country star Vince Gill.
And whenever the Eagles perform here, they sell the place out.
The Eagles’ “miraculous run”
“I guess we’re kind of a staple,” Henley said. “Our first record came out in ’72. Fifty-three years of playing for people. So it’s… you know, it’s been a miraculous run.”
And it got even more miraculous last month, when one of those Eagles albums from the 1970s — “Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975)” — was certified quadruple diamond, the first to sell more than 40 million copies, cementing its place as the best-selling album of all time.
“‘Greatest Hits’ is kind of a misnomer. It should just be called their best songs because every song on that album was not a great hit. You know? There are a couple of songs on that album that didn’t break the top 30. But they’re good songs. Desperado, for example, was never released as a single. Not by us, nor by Linda Ronstadt,” Henley said.
Henley adds that the album wasn’t really their idea; it was basically pushed on them by the record company. But the band “didn’t have any way to stop them,” Henley joked.

“We complained. Oh, yeah. It’s documented,” he laughed.
Legacy of late bandmate Glenn Frey
Henley said writing Desperado with his late bandmate Glenn Frey was the first time the pair collaborated as songwriting partners. He added that they clicked instantly, and Frey quickly earned the nickname “the lone arranger.”
“Because he was so good at arranging songs,” Henley explained.
Frey died 10 years ago at age 67, but his legacy is larger than life.
Before the show, fans can take a literal walk down memory lane at a place called the Eagles’ Third Encore— an almost life-sized model of the key places in the band’s history, including a mock-up of L.A.’s Troubadour nightclub, which includes a real working bar.
But Henley’s pre-show routine isn’t quite the same as it used to be. Instead of taking a shot of tequila, he’s doing crunches as a warm-up.
“I don’t do voice exercises because they don’t help. I sing from my core, so keeping my abdomen in shape makes me sing better,” he said, adding with a laugh, “I don’t have a six-pack or anything, but there’s one under there somewhere.”
Deacon Frey fills in for his late father
One of the emotional highlights of the show is the moment where Frey’s son, Deacon, takes the stage in his father’s spot, often with his father’s guitar, and sings his father’s songs.
“I burst with pride. I almost got tears in my eyes the other night when he was filling in for Joe,” Henley said.
Henley said he wasn’t sure performing without Frey was feasible, but the band agreed to continue only if Deacon could join them.
A father of three himself, Henley has always had a rich life outside the band, and he recently co-produced a PBS documentary with filmmaker Ken Burns about Henry David Thoreau.
“There are so many parallels to what he was seeing during his time and what we’re seeing now. As Mark Twain said, ‘History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.’ And I think that’s what’s happening now,” Henley said.
What’s next?
The Eagles are keeping the music alive with a few more live shows this summer and an extended run in Las Vegas into April, featuring cutting-edge technology that didn’t exist when they first started making music.
“The sound system is like nothing on the planet. There are about 167,000 speakers in that dome,” Henley said of the Sphere.
The Eagles’ tour is called “The Long Goodbye,” but Henley says this time he means it.
“You know, I think this year will probably be it. I’ve said things like that before, but I feel like we’re getting toward the end. And that will be fine, too,” Henley said.
After more than 50 years of playing, Henley says he has to psych himself up to perform the Eagles’ classics each night.
“After a while, you learn to make friends with the songs,” he says. “It’s not about us. It’s about what they mean to the people we’re playing them for. You have to play every night with your heart in it.” Henley adds, “Music is medicine. And people need some medicine right now.”
