A Penguins-specific setlist for The Eagles to play at PPG Paints Arena

The Eagles will play PPG Paints Arena on Oct. 15.

We found out Wednesday that The Eagles are going to headline a concert at PPG Paints Arena. Don’t worry, the Pittsburgh Steelers have a bye that week. It’s part of the band’s Long Goodbye tour.

So I thought we should continue the tradition we began at “Breakfast With Benz” when Metallica and the Poison/Def Leppard/Motley Crue/Joan Jett “Stadium Tour” rolled through town in 2022. When those shows were staged at PNC Park, we came up with an All-Pirates set list for the evening.

However, since this show will be at PPG Paints Arena, we’re going with a Penguins theme this time around.

Check back in a few weeks when Guns N’ Roses come to PNC Park.
