to play with the Chicks. David Grissom (lead guitar), Keith Sewell (guitar) and Larry Knechtel (keyboards) teamed up
again along with Greg Leisz (steel guitar), Victor Indrizzo (drums) and Justin Meldel-Johnsen (bass). Lloyd Maines played
steel guitar on the final 3 nights.

Eagles, Dixie Chicks Gross $9 Million
The $120
million Nokia Theatre has already begun to pay for itself: Last week, officials with L.A. Live developer Anschutz Entertainment
Group announced that the 7,100-seat venue adjacent to Staples Center raked in $9,076,420 during its opening six-night run
with the Eagles and the Dixie Chicks. Each of the Oct. 18-27 shows sold out, bringing 42,600 fans to the first part of L.A.
Live to come online. "Not only were both these groups arena headliners in their own right, the venue served as an amazing
backdrop for their immense talents," said Lee Zeidman, general manager of the Nokia Theatre, in a statement. Tickets for the
shows ranged form $85 to $265.
