Unreleased Classic Rock Photos Vol. 4 Supertramp, Eagles And More

Our fourth in the series of Unreleased Classic Rock Photos presents for the first time in the series a variety of different bands instead of just focusing on one. These photographs all come from the work of photographer Mike Hill. The man from Boston used a Miranda and Nikon camera with a Vivitar 80-210 zoom lens. Mike shot his photographs using Kodak Ektachrome 35mm slide film and pushed the processing for better contrast and exposure.

The Eagles – Oct 1979 -Boston Garden

The photos below were taken by Mike Hill when he saw the band performing at the Boston Garden in 1979. At the time, the Eagles were touring to promote their sixth studio album entitled The Long Run. No one at the time realized that The Long Run would be the last Eagles studio album for twenty eight years until the group returned in 2007 with Long Road Out of Eden. In 1979 the Eagles lineup consisted of Glenn Frey on vocals and guitars, Don Henley on vocals and drums Don Felder on vocals and guitars, Timothy B. Schmit on vocals and bass, and Joe Walsh on vocals and guitar.
