Seaman Stadium felt more like the Hotel California at the venue's first-ever concert.
The Aug. 31 show was headlined by renowned Eagles tribute band Eagle Eyes, hailing from Vancouver Island.
"The tunes that we love so that we all grew up with, listening to and admiring the harmonies and the guitar parts... I just love all the intricate guitar work, and we just love trying to recreate it. It's just a good challenge," said Ray Harvey, guitarist and band leader.
"We're hopefully a little more energetic than the current Eagles are. We try to make it fun, very danceable and bring a little energy to the Eagles repertoire."
This show marking the group's first in southern Alberta, with band members Jason Dunajski, Kenneth Ermter, Jack Gunderson, and Harvey donning Okotoks Dawgs jerseys for the occasion.
Also on the lineup were three Okotoks and area acts: longtime Dawgs anthem singer Brettyn Rose, High River singer-songwriter Chase Morgan and traditional rock, country and blues quartet The Back Forty.
The concert, co-hosted by the Okotoks Dawgs and the Town of Okotoks, was the first — and definitely not last — of its kind at Seaman Stadium.
