Sitting in the entertainment tent at the Genesee County Fairgrounds on Thursday evening, if you closed your eyes, you could be forgiven if you thought you really hearing Don Felder, Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Bernie Leadon, and Randy Meisner
The musicianship was that precise, and the harmonies that tight as a group of veteran Buffalo-area musicians, now performing at the Eaglez Tribute Band, ran through 28 hits of the Eagles over three hours of music.
The Eaglez are, in reality:
- Randy Barnard, Lead Guitar/Keyboard
- Dennis Makowski, Guitar/Vocals
- Bob Brummitt, Bass Guitar/Vocals
- John White, Rhythm Guitar/Vocals
- Mike Nierenberg, Vocals/Percussion
- Micky Judware / Rich Keigley, Drums
- Paul Vanacore, Sax/Keyboard
Note: Sadly, and unknown at show time, Randy Meisner passed away on Thursday. An original member of the Eagles, he was 77. Glenn Frey, another founding member, passed away in 2016.
