The band performed the 1976 Grammy-winning album from "beginning to end." "Each night's concert will feature a 'Hotel California' set, with an accompanying orchestra and choir, followed by an additional set of the band's greatest hits," the band's website said. The setlist for the two shows performed in Las Vegas in September 2019 was one of the longest setlists the band had ever played, each show lasting for approximately three hours. The setlist remained the same for the 2020 leg of dates, but the setlists varied slightly in length for the 2021 and 2022 dates.[2]
The band performed with an orchestra accompaniment at each show for select songs. The orchestra comprised both local and touring musicians, and was conducted by Jim Ed Norman, who wrote the original orchestrations for the Hotel California album.
The first two legs featured Deacon Frey and country artist Vince Gill since they joined the band in 2017 after the death of founding member Glenn Frey in 2016.
On March 21, 2020, the band announced the postponement of their North American tour due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] On May 1, 2020, band announced the tour would be further postponed to 2021 due to continuing concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]
It was announced on February 17, 2022 that Deacon Frey would not be participating in the upcoming leg of the “Hotel California” tour due to an unspecified illness.[5] The band subsequently announced on April 6, 2022 that Frey would be leaving the group for a solo career, until his return to the band in July the following year prior to the group's final tour.
