Indiana University Assembly Hall – Sept. 1, 1974

The Indiana University Eagles concert was in the I.U. Assembly Hall on September 1, 1974. The Eagles and Kansas opened for the Beach Boys. It was originally supposed to be an outdoor concert at the 10th Street Stadium, but rain changed the plans to an indoor concert in the Indiana University Assembly Hall.

Daily Herald-Telephone (Bloomington, IN) – Aug. 23, 1974

“The Eagles livened up the darkness with a string of hits composed of many of the better songs of the day. The band opened with ‘Take It Easy,’ followed with ‘Outlaw Man’ and then hit the better songs from their current album like ‘Already Gone’ and ‘Midnight Flyer’.”

Concert review in the Daily Herald-Telephone (Bloomington, IN) – Sept. 1974

“What was to have been an outdoor concert in the Tenth Street Stadium had become a somewhat confined indoor concert at the Assembly Hall.”

From the 1975 Arbutus (Indiana University yearbook pg. 14). There was no Eagles photo, only a Beach Boys photo.
