Oceanview Pavilion's Performing Arts Theatre by the Beach had the pleasure of hosting the incredible talented tribute band 'The Long Run' this past November. Seeing the Eagles live in concert years ago I felt I was back in the 70's once again. One needed to just close your eyes and you felt as though Don Felder was playing the Guitar right there on stage. The band was enthusiastically received by the large audience from the downbeat and then the magic began. It was 1970 all over again in Port Hueneme that night. The band interacted with the audience which made the performance one to remember. After the first song the audience was dancing in the aisles, singing and having a great time! 'Hotel California' was their grand finale and it brought the house down! The sound was amazing, the singing phenomenal. An act one must not miss. I plan on having them come back in 2009!

Possibly the most enjoyable rock performance I've experienced. I've seen alot of live music, especially in the last 26 years in Las Vegas. Awesome work on guitars. Your sound quality was extraordinary! GREAT SHOW!!! I will definetly try to catch you again.
Linda Thomas from Las Vegas, NV
You guys rock! I had a great time at the concert. I closed my eyes and it was the Eagles! (I was the one with the messed up foot and dancing)

On behalf of the campus I would like to thank you for coming to Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. You came to our campus on such short notice, with such vibrant energy, and gave such a great show that it helped ensure the success of our entire homecoming weekend. There was a cacophony of phenomenal reviews about the performance, and people enjoyed it so much that more than one asked for your contact information after the performance to thank you personally. We can only hope that we find ourselves in a position to bring you to our campus again in the future. It was a pleasure working with you.
Nancy Jensen, Director of Student Activities, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University from Prescott, AZ
Great full sound, very tight, harmonies are spot on. If the Eagles were to call in sick, these guys could take their place and nobody would know. Check 'em out!!!

You guys Rock! I was blessed to see you guys play with my boyfriend on my birthday last month in Fawnskin. You made my birthday wonderful. We had so much fun singing along with your songs and danced to a few of them too. It is a night I will never forget. Thanks again guys... hope to see you again! Keep up the great work!

You guys rock! We had such a great time listening to you in Big Bear that I had to check to see where you were playing so we could see you again! Fantastic show..fantastic musicians and the vocals were outstanding!
Mary Ellen from Santa Clarita, CA
The presentation in our outdoor amphitheater was absolutely terrific. The songs sounded just like the Eagles and the sold-out audience was up dancing all night. One of the best shows I have ever seen . Will definitely attend their next up here and have told friends what they missed.
Bob Hartunian from Fawnskin, CA
The show had a great setting in the outdoor theatre in the middle of the forest on top of a mountain. The music was great and fun evening for everyone.
Lynne from Big Bear Lake, CA

Linda from Riverside, CA
Saw the Friday show and had to go back for the next night also. Tremendous show!!! Get back here soon. The energy and performance were great! Songs were righht on. A++++++
Ray Kenyon from Bullhead City, AZ
Avid Eagles fan with a friend and we were blown away by the faithfullness of the sounds. We were joking that it would be funny to go up to the band and say they sounded just like the Eagles only to find it really was the Eagles. Great show.
Alan Adler from Rolling Hills, CA
Thanks for another GREAT SHOW BOYS it's the best next thing to seeing The Eagles in Concert but, The Long Run played for 3 full hours and I sat front row and when I felt like dancing there was a dance floor too. So I guess it's better than going to a concert because, when i closed my eyes they sounded exactly like The Eagles. Thanks Again...

You are all consumate professionals while retaining an artistic edge of your own. You have made my day many times and I still can't get enough. I have to call out Gary Hagen as playing as if it were his last time...Dirty Laundry, yes....
Dark Star from Redondo Beach, CA
We wait every year for the roster to come out for Labor Day and Memorial Day events for Hermosa Fiesta just hoping that The Long Run will be on it. We enjoy them sooooooooo much. I am just sorry we will miss them at this years event since we have moved to Florida. Hey maybe they will make it out here soon. Just a hint guys!! That would be awesome!!!

For the Millennium, we saw the Eagles live at Staples Arena. We sat at the far end of the hall, so the visuals were lacking. Linda Ronstadt was the opener. Direct from Winslow Arizona, Jackson Brown was there too. In the early '70s, we saw Linda as the opening act for Neil Young at the Long Beach Arena. As we entered the arena through the tunnel, we could hear her beautiful, clear voice, accompanied by the most amazing sound we had ever heard - it was her backup band, then just going out on their own, as the Eagles. Last Saturday, we caught The Long Run at Harpers Bar & Grille in Northridge. The house was packed and everyone was having a great time. When the band hit the stage, it was deja vu all over again. Sitting dead center in the middle of the room, we could hear it all and see the guitar work that makes TLR the great band that it is. When they "turned it up a notch," the room began to ring with that same ethereal sound we had heard over 35 years ago. Who says you can't channel musicians who are still alive? Later, when Gary Hagen sang his solo version of "Desperado", it all came together again. With barebones accompaniment, Gary,s voice echoed off the back wall with all the pathos that the lyrics imply. Back at the bar, the noise continued at its own raucous level. Those at the bar heard nothing. Those who watched and listened heard a song that never fails to touch our heart. James Dean; if you are a New Kid in Town, staying at the Hotel California, feeling like a Victim of Love, Get Over It. One of These Nights, After the Thrill is Gone, take the Seven Bridges Road. In The City, Take It to the Limit, stop On the Border, then Get to The Heart of the Matter; enjoy the Peaceful Easy Feelin, and Take It Easy. I Can't Tell You Why. I'm Already Gone. Winning the free TLR t-shirt topped our night. Next time we are on a dark desert highway, we plan to wear it.
Jim McGillis from Marina Del Rey, CA
You were great, I've seen The Eagles before and your band is pretty damn close to the real thing. Look forward to seeing you again hopefully you schedule more shows.
Terry from Pico Rivera, CA
Unbelievable!!! I was so mesmerized by ALL you guys especially you Gary Hagen!!! I was so glad I got a chance to tell you after the show!!! That cowboy rocked it too!!! Every song of the night was PERFECT!!! We sang and danced and had the best time!!! One of the BEST concerts I have ever been to!!! I hope I will get a chance to see you guys again!!! Thanks for a GREAT night in Vegas!!! :o)
DEBIE WOODWARD from Elk Grove, California
I'm a HUGE Eagles fan, and was totally blown away by your performance yesterday! I'm just sorry my husband wasn't there to enjoy your show, too! My friends told me about your band and they were with me yesterday. I look forward to seeing you again, and will be sure my husband is there, too! Just one suggestion: you may want to encourage the audience to dance; my friend and I were too shy, I think, :)
Beverly Toyama from Los Angeles
What a fantastic show you guys put on, the music, the vocals and the energy made it a memorable experience. The Eagles have been my favorite band since I first heard them back in high school and have seen them in concert a few times. The concert you guys put on is amazing, if you didnt know any better you would think youre at an Eagles concert. Looking forward to seeing you again, cant wait!
Francisco Bustamante from Upland, CA
In my many years as a music reviewer and and recordist, I've worked with so many talented individuals...The Long Run is simply THE BEST at what they do--making The Eagles music available in a magical and exciting way--wow, I was blown away, and you will be too! Long Beach Festival
Alvin Youngblood from San Francisco
Saw you twice before AWESOME!!! Since I live in Camarillo, will be listening on the Octopus 95.9 (My favorite FM station) on Sept. 24th and can't wait to see you again on Sept. 30 in Ojai.
Bruce Bivens from Camarillo
my calssmates and i were fortunate enough to interview "the Long Run" for our Music 15 class at UCSD. they were extremely helpful and passionate about their music and cause, they definately contribute to the community by trying to preserve great music and inspiring the youth of today to pursue their musical dreams. Our professor was extremely impressed with their performance of "witchy woman" and our class most definately enjoyed their music has they were singing along to some old memorable tunes =) thanx guys for all the help and putting on great performances =) hope to keep in touch

What a lovely show. The music & vocals were just beautiful, as always!
Kenny & Kita from Santa Monica
The show was great as usual. Almost like having a front row seat at an Eagles concert. although I have never had a front row seat at one of their shows. The guitar work was amazing and the whole show really rocks. You guys are great...thanks,
ralph leclercq from Palos Verdes Peninsula
I thought you guys were just great. Brought back my late 60's college days...minus the drugs. And was just as good without it....maybe better.
Joyce from Redondo Beach, CA
I am an avid Eagles fan and you all sounded exactly like them...actually you all sounded better!!!! My hubby works at Jerry's Nugget and I will tell them to ask you all back..you all rocked!!!!! Take Care!
