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.
