STORY:
Eagles, Browne, Buffett Y2K Plans

According to the Los Angeles Times, the Eagles are close to a deal to play a special New Year's Eve show at the new Staples Center, sources close to the event confirm. The Eagles would be making their first area appearance since concluding a reunion venture in January 1995 at the Rose Bowl. Jackson Browne is expected to join the concert as well.

The Times article says negotiations for the event have gone back and forth for several months as Staples Center construction moves toward its planned October opening. Among the points in flux have been the still-developing seating configuration for concerts at the state-of-the-art arena, as well as--of course--money.

Word is while the prime seats for the Eagles would be quite pricey, efforts would be made to keep a large portion of the tickets in a relatively reasonable $50 to $100 range.

Meanwhile, the Eagles would have at least one major name as competition on New Year's Eve: Chief parrothead Jimmy Buffett is reportedly being lined up to play then at the Universal, a relatively intimate setting for him with 6,000 seats as opposed to the more than 15,000 at his most recent L.A. venue, the Hollywood Bowl.
