Showtime
After over six years of inactivity, the Eagles have kicked it into high gear in 2013.
The band premiered their now acclaimed documentary, History of the Eagles, last month on Showtime, which is set to be released on DVD/Blu-ray on April 30th via Capitol Records. The two-part film chronicles the band’s backstory from the 70s until their 1980 breakup, and scored the network the highest ratings for a music documentary since 2005.
The release comes as a three-disc set, which includes History of the Eagles Part One and History of the Eagles Part Two, as well as Eagles Live at the Capital Centre - March 1977 – a concert film that accounts the Eagles’ two-night stint at Washington DC’s Capital Center during their Hotel California tour.
Preorders for the film are available beginning today (March 12th).
History of the Eagles is also set to premiere at Sundance London, where band members Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Joe Walsh and Timothy Schmidt will also hold a Q&A session at the O2 Arena, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The festival kicks off on April 25th and concludes on the 28th.
Dr. John Cooper
Born in Latvia, Dr. John Cooper
migrated with his parents to this
country and grew up on his father's
beet farm. Poor, the only enjoyment
the family had was an old radio his
father recieved in a trade for his older
sister. Evenings were spent listening
to Amos 8- Andy, The Lone Ranger and
other old time radio shows which led
to his interest into the broadcast
industry. Alter 17 years as host of
Ohio's KHOG "Swap Shop" John hit the
big time by swaping his pet hamster,
Mason, for a degree from the College
of Musical Knowledge which he used
to land a gig in Central New York. From
there it was no where but up.
He joined PYX 106 after a short stint on Broadway in Michael Jackson's "The WIZ". His meteoric rise to the top as Program Director came as a surprise to all in the industry. When asked his most memorable moment in radio, John replied, "my interview with the guy who lived next door to the guy who was the third cousin of the guy who whittled a pair of drumsticks for Pete Best."
