Eagles Launch Farewell Tour in New York City

Eagles kicked off their Long Goodbye farewell tour at Madison Square Garden in New York City this evening.

The night began with Steely Dan as the opening act, who played several of their hits, including "Hey Nineteen," "Dirty Work," "Reelin' in the Years" and more. (This is not the first time Steely Dan and Eagles have worked together. "[ Timothy B. Schmit ] used to help out singing backup in the ’70s,"  Donald Fagen , now the sole surviving member of Steely Dan, explained in a recent interview with  Expanding Dan , "and  Don Henley did a couple sessions as well. Because we share a manager, I’ve run into the guys now and then over the years. Good band.")

Then came Eagles, beginning with their cover of "Seven Bridges Road."

"It's been a rough six weeks for us," Henley admitted from the stage, referencing the recent passing of Eagles co-founder Randy Meisner . "Incredible musician, amazing singing voice, and we will miss him." The band then dedicated their performance of "Take It to the Limit" to Meisner.

Later in the evening, tribute was also paid to Jimmy Buffett , who passed away on Sept. 1. "Jimmy Buffett is now sailing on that cosmic ocean, having that cheeseburger with Glenn [Frey] and Randy," Henley said. "We always liked to laugh and say we survived the '70s together."

"Jimmy and I got thrown out of some of the finest hotels in the world," Joe Walsh  added.

Two Buffett covers followed: "Come Monday" and "Fins," the latter of which was sung by Walsh, who donned a colorful "parrot head" hat while doing so.

Walsh, Henley and Schmit, along with Vince Gill and Deacon Frey, played a hit-heavy set list, which also included some solo material of Walsh's: "In the City," "All Night Long" and "Rocky Mountain Way."

You can view a complete set list from the concert below.

The End of the Road for Eagles

Eagles first announced this tour back in July, noting their appreciation for their management, crew and fans over the years on the road.

"We hope to see as many of you as we can before we finish up," they said in a statement at the time. "Most importantly, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for embracing this band and its music. At the end of the day, you are the reason we have been able to carry on for over five decades. This is our swan song, but the music goes on and on."

"I think people like B.B. King set an example, which is, there's no reason to stop unless you can’t do it," Walsh elaborated not long after the announcement. "And so we’re just announcing that we’re gonna just focus on playing quality shows and slow it down a little bit. And we’re gonna play until we can’t, or play until nobody comes, whichever comes first. But they’re still coming, so why stop? That’s the only thing we know how to do."

The band currently has tour dates scheduled through Nov. 18.

The Eagles Long Goodbye: See the setlist for the legendary rock band's final tour

It will be a long goodbye for the Eagles, who announced their final tour in July and vow to stay on the road through 2025 - or until they hit every market that might welcome them, sometimes more than once.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Famers kicked off their farewell at New York's Madison Square Garden Sept. 7 with a 23-song setlist that spotlights their myriad hits – "Take it Easy," "Witchy Woman," "Tequila Sunrise," "Life in the Fast Lane" and of course, "Hotel California" among them – and also paid tribute to "dear friend" Jimmy Buffett, who died Sept. 1 , and original Eagles bassist Randy Meisner, who died in July.

As on past tours, the core of Don Henley, Timothy B. Schmit and Joe Walsh are joined by upper-register maestro Vince Gill and Deacon Frey, son of the late Eagles legend Glenn Frey. The additional four musicians backing the Eagles augment an already pristine sound for this two-hour hits parade.

Here is a look at the songs being performed on the Eagles' Long Goodbye tour.

Things To Do

Music + concerts, music + concerts | the eagles soar on the first of four farewell shows at the forum, steely dan is the opener on the long goodbye: final tour, which returns to the kia forum on saturday, jan. 6, and again on jan. 12-13..

The Eagles hadn’t finished the first verse of “Seven Bridges Road,” the song that opened the first of four nights at the Kia Forum on Friday, when the thought occurred: They still sound and look great – strong voices, those classic harmonies, everyone upright and moving – yet they are ready for their swan song?

It’s right there in the name of the tour – The Long Goodbye: Final Tour – but goodness gracious, why?

“Good evening and welcome to whatever this is,” said cofounder Don Henley , who did most of the talking between songs on Friday. “We’ve been playing this joint for 49 years. After next weekend, it will be 26 times that we played here.”

The roar of cheers and applause from the sold-out arena stopped Henley, who sang from behind the drums or with an acoustic guitar, for a moment.

“We could have done just one night at the spaceship next door and been done with it,” he continued, referring to SoFi Stadium just south of the Forum, a venue he later referred to as the Eagles’ home field. “But it sounds better in here. So we decided to work a little harder and give you a better experience.”

Which is just what fans got: 21 songs over two hours, almost all the Eagles’ hits you could want, a guest appearance by singer-songwriter J.D. Souther, who co-wrote three of the band’s five No. 1 singles, a handful of singer-guitarist Joe Walsh’s hits from outside the band, and a Henley solo hit, too.

“Seven Bridges Road” gave way to “Take It Easy,” one of the songs most associated with the late Glenn Frey . On Friday, his absence was still felt eight years since his 2016 death, but his replacements – son Deacon Frey and country singer-songwriter Vince Gill – are familiar faces in the band now.

Deacon and Gill swapped or shared lead vocals on the songs Glenn Frey used to sing – after Henley sang “One Of These Nights,” Gill handled “Lyin’ Eyes” – and between the son’s vocal resemblance to his father and Gill’s strength as a singer and guitarist, both made it almost possible to forget the guy who’s no longer there.

Early in the set, Henley spoke of old friends who sometimes collaborated on songwriting, mentioning Jackson Browne, who co-wrote “Take It Easy”; Jack Tempchin, who contributed “Peaceful, Easy Feeling” and “Already Gone”; and J.D. Souther, who helped the band with three of its biggest hits.

Souther came out Friday to sing all three of those songs with the band, with the ballads “Best of My Love” and “New Kid in Town” played back to back early on.

That mellow Eagles’ vibe continued a few songs longer: “Peaceful, Easy Feeling” saw Deacon Frey on lead vocals, and finished with a black-and-white photograph of his father on the video screens, while Gill sang a beautiful rendition of “Tequila Sunrise.” And bassist Timothy B. Schmit showed off his lovely high tenor on “I Can’t Tell You Why.”

But things shifted midway through the night as Joe Walsh swapped his acoustic for electric guitar to crank up the volume alongside touring guitarist Steuart Smith, who since 2001 has handled the lead guitar duties once played by former Eagle Don Felder.

Walsh, whose goofy personality is always fun, played four songs written as a solo artist or member of the James Gang, with “Life’s Been Good” delivering a welcome jolt of energy in both lyrics – a comic tale of rock star excess – and guitar licks.

From there, the back half of the set rocked harder to the finish. “Already Gone” featured a terrific Deacon Frey vocal, with he and Smith swapping crunchy guitar riffs. Henley dedicated his solo hit “Boys Of Summer” to the late Jimmy Buffett, a boy of summer if ever there was one.

A pair of Henley lead vocals closed out the main set with two of the band’s biggest hits, “Life in the Fast Lane” and “Hotel California,” the latter being perhaps the Eagles’ ultimate song among many contenders.

Then, after Walsh opened the encore with his own “Rocky Mountain Way,” and Henley sang a lovely “Desperado,” the band plus Souther said so long for now with “Heartache Tonight,” a joyful romp about staying out late even when it’s time to go home, an apt sentiment for a farewell show.

Opening for the Eagles on this tour is Steely Dan, a band with a completely different sound – jazz influences in place of country – but an equally acclaimed history.

As with the Eagles, Steely Dan has continued despite the death of a co-founder, with singer-keyboardist Donald Fagen carrying on its legacy after the 2017 death of his songwriting partner guitarist Walter Becker.

During an hour on stage, Fagen and 12 musicians and singers delivered a good portion of Steely Dan’s hits. After an instrumental opening number, Fagen arrived to deliver the slinky grooves and sophisticated swing of “Josie” and “Hey 19.”

Nearly every player in the band got a spotlight turn, with longtime members such as guitarist Jon Herington and drummer Keith Carlock standouts as always.

Other highlights included “Dirty Work,” with lead vocal shared by the three backing vocalists, “Rikki Don’t Lose That Number,” “My Old School,” and “Reelin’ in the Years,” which wrapped up Steely Dan’s night on Friday.

The Eagles Detail Final Tour ‘The Long Goodbye’ with Steely Dan

In what promises to be an epic farewell, The Eagles have announced they are gearing up for their last tour, aptly titled The Long Goodbye. The iconic rock band will hit the road for a series of 13 concert dates, accompanied by the esteemed fellow Rock & Roll Hall of Famers, Steely Dan. Spanning multiple years, the tour is expected to conclude in 2025.

Kicking off at New York City’s legendary Madison Square Garden on Sept. 7 of this year, The Eagles and Steely Dan will grace arenas in Boston, Newark, N.J., and Belmont Park, N.Y. throughout the month. The band has also announced October shows in Denver, Indianapolis, Detroit, and Cleveland, as well as November stops in Atlanta, Charlotte, Raleigh, and Lexington.

The Eagles, led by co-founding member Don Henley, will be joined by longstanding members Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit, along with more recent additions Vince Gill and Deacon Frey. Both Gill and Frey came aboard in 2017, following the untimely passing of Deacon’s father and Eagles’ co-founder, Glenn Frey. Although Deacon Frey departed the band in 2022, he has returned to the fold for “The Long Goodbye.”

Expressing their deep appreciation and love, The Eagles penned a heartfelt note to their fans, acknowledging the band’s extraordinary 52-year journey. Despite enduring tragic losses, upheavals, and setbacks, the group recognizes the unwavering support of their dedicated management team, road crew, and talented backup musicians throughout the years. Grateful for their remarkable run, The Eagles have decided that the time has come to bring the journey full circle with an official farewell tour. Scheduling details will be announced as dates are confirmed, considering the challenges of securing venues for multiple nights, which may result in return visits to certain cities based on demand. The band intends to make this final round a memorable experience for as many fans as possible as they bid farewell. They also extend their heartfelt gratitude to their fans for embracing their music, acknowledging that their enduring success over five decades is owed to the unwavering support of their devoted audience. While this may be their swan song, The Eagles made it clear in their letter that they believe that the power of their music will continue to resonate for years to come.

Originally disbanding in 1980, The Eagles surprised fans with a reunion in 1994 for the Hell Freezes Over tour and album. Following Glenn Frey’s passing in January 2016, Don Henley hinted at the band’s retirement from touring during interviews. However, in July 2017, The Eagles regrouped with Vince Gill and Deacon Frey stepping in to fill the void left by Glenn Frey, and they have since embarked on sporadic tours.

With over two years remaining for The Long Goodbye, fans can anticipate more tour date announcements in the near future. Stay tuned for updates on this monumental farewell tour from The Eagles.

Fans eager to secure their spots can take advantage of pre-sale tickets and VIP packages starting next Wednesday, July 12, while general on-sales will begin next Friday, July 14, at 10 a.m. local time. Tickets can be purchased via Ticketmaster.com.

Read the full statement from The Eagles below.

The Eagles have had a miraculous 52-year odyssey, performing for people all over the globe; keeping the music alive in the face of tragic losses, upheavals and setbacks of many kinds. Credit and thanks go to our longtime management team, our dedicated road crew, and our exceptional backup musicians for providing skilled and steadfast support, throughout these many years. We know how fortunate we are, and we are truly grateful. Our long run has lasted far longer than any of us ever dreamed. But, everything has its time, and the time has come for us to close the circle. The official farewell tour is currently in the planning stages. We want to give all our fans a chance to see us on this final round. So, scheduling information will be released as dates are set. The difficulties of booking venues for multiple nights may require us to return to certain cities, depending on demand. But, we hope to see as many of you as we can, before we finish up. Most importantly, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for embracing this band and its music. At the end of the day, you are the reason we have been able to carry on for over five decades. This is our swan song, but the music goes on and on.

The Eagles are ready to fly one last time, soaring for a farewell tour this fall to cap off their five decades of touring.

“The Eagles have had a miraculous 52-year odyssey, performing for people all over the globe; keeping the music alive in the face of tragic losses, upheavals and setbacks of many kinds,” the “Hotel California” and “Desperado” hitmakers said in a Thursday statement .

“We know how fortunate we are, and we are truly grateful. Our long run has lasted far longer than any of us ever dreamed. But, everything has its time, and the time has come for us to close the circle.”

The Los Angeles-formed rock band — eternally associated with the Southern California country-rock sound — will launch their Long Goodbye tour in New York’s Madison Square Garden on Sept. 7, announcing 12 additional dates Thursday with the possibility of more to come. However, no California dates have yet been announced.

Welcome to the ‘Hotel California’ saga: Missing lyric sheets, rare book dealers and a relentless Don Henley

In July, three men were indicted in an attempt to sell the manuscripts, stolen property belonging to the Eagles’ leader. But the story begins in the ’70s with a shelved biography.

Aug. 25, 2022

“The official farewell tour is currently in the planning stages. We want to give all our fans a chance to see us on this final round. So, scheduling information will be released as dates are set,” said the band, whose current lineup includes drummer and vocalist Don Henley, famed guitarist Joe Walsh, bassist Timothy B. Schmit and guitarist Vince Gill. Gill joined the band after founding member and guitarist Glenn Frey died at 67 in 2016 . (Frey’s son Deacon also played with the band for nearly five years before announcing his departure in 2022 .)

“The difficulties of booking venues for multiple nights may require us to return to certain cities, depending on demand. But, we hope to see as many of you as we can, before we finish up,” they said. “Most importantly, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for embracing this band and its music. At the end of the day, you are the reason we have been able to carry on for over five decades. This is our swan song, but the music goes on and on.”

The six-time Grammy Award-winning group and Rock and Roll Hall of Famers will be joined by contemporary act Steely Dan, whose members will be commemorating their own half-century spanning career as well.

The Eagles’ Glenn Frey spun sun-baked SoCal ballads that will endure

Few bands were better at distilling the vibe of Los Angeles in the 1970s than the Eagles, and as its singer and guitarist, Glenn Frey served as a sort of mellow ambassador of our city.

Jan. 19, 2016

The bands have scheduled shows through mid-November in Boston, Newark, Denver, Indianapolis, Detroit, Cleveland, Atlanta, Charlotte and Raleigh, N.C., Lexington, Ky., and St. Paul, Minn. The full schedule can be found here . The Long Goodbye tour follows their recently expanded Hotel California tour , named for their landmark 1976 album that they played in its entirety during the tour, which wrapped in Baltimore in April.

Presale tickets and VIP packages for the Long Goodbye will be made available July 12 for all announced shows. General on-sale begins July 14.

'You’ve gotta stay young': Eagles deliver heroic farewell concert in Phoenix

It was after Vince Gill's first lead vocal performance of the night, a poignant “Lyin’ Eyes” that really tapped into the sadness of the lyrics, that Don Henley took a moment to address the crowd at a packed Footprint Center for the Eagles’ second concert in two days in downtown Phoenix.

“Tonight’s program has been brought to you by American pharmaceuticals,” he deadpanned Saturday, Jan. 20. The crowd responded with applause and laughter.

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year. I got it first, then Deacon got it, now Vince got it.”

One would assume the “it” in question was, at best, a winter cold.

“Only guy I know that can sing that well when he’s real sick,” the drummer said. “Most people can’t sing that good when they’re well.”

You could hear the impact of that illness on Gill’s vocal, but he soldiered on, visibly straining at times to hit the notes on “Take It to the Limit,” which Henley sent out “to the memory of our original bass player, Mr. Randy Meisner, who we lost this past summer.”

No reasonable person would expect an ailing Gill, at 66, to touch the soulful genius Meisner brought to that recording in his finest hour as a vocalist at 29.

And to be clear, he didn’t.

But it was a nice version regardless, a valiant effort with moments of greatness that spoke to what a talent Gill has always been.

Eagles farewell tour setlist: Every song they played in Phoenix on the Long Goodbye Tour

The Eagles Long Goodbye Tour is their farewell tour

This is the Eagles’ Long Goodbye Tour, which means this may have been the last we’ll ever see of them in Phoenix, a bittersweet occasion to be sure.

Henley, now 76, is the only founding member of the Eagles in the current lineup, joined by longtime members Joe Walsh on guitar and Timothy B. Schmit on bass.

When Henley’s co-lead vocalist and writing partner Glenn Frey died in 2016, even Henley said he didn’t think they’d tour again.

But the Eagles were back on the road in 2018 with two new members — Gill and Frey’s son Deacon. They’ve been through the Valley several times since then, most recently in 2023 on a tour that found them playing the entire “Hotel California” album and a second set of greatest hits.

Don Henley promised 'a 2-hour vacation from all the madness'

The Long Goodbye Tour puts the focus squarely on their greatest hits , as often happens when an artist stages a farewell tour.

“Anyhow, we’re gonna give you about a two-hour vacation from all the madness and the chaos that’s going on in the world,” Henley promised the fans early on.

“We’re gonna do that without any fireworks and no inflatables, no wind machines, no butt-waggin’ choreography, just a bunch of guys with guitars and drums. Go figure.”

It’s doubtful many Eagles fans left wishing the band had splurged on a confetti cannon or worked some aerial ballet into the mix.

They did, however, open their performance with a video montage of vintage clips and photographs to take you through the years, a welcome touch that played to the nostalgic value of a final tour, before strolling on stage to open with the a cappella harmonies of “Seven Bridges Road.”

'We were blown away': Eagles fans share memories of the 'On the Border' tour in Phoenix

Who is playing in the Eagles farewell tour?

There's a reason that became their go-to opener. And it sounded great in Phoenix, with Gill and longtime touring member Steuart Smith trading licks on acoustic guitars.

The five core members of the group were joined by four auxiliary musicians – Smith, who handled the bulk of their signature licks and duplicated several entire solos on guitar; Scott F. Crago on drums and percussion allowing Henley the freedom to step out from behind the kit; Will Hollis on keys and synths; and Michael Thompson on piano, keyboards and accordion.

Smith, Hollis and Thompson also added to the vocal blend that’s been the Eagles calling card from the time they hit the scene with “Take It Easy.”

And now that Gill has joined the fold, they’re blessed with three extremely talented guitarists, often trading leads or harmonizing with each other.

Henley’s voice has aged a bit in the 53 years he’s been doing the Eagles, as has everyone’s.

But that falsetto on “One of These Nights” felt surprisingly ageless, one of several vocal highlights of the night for him, including “Witchy Woman,” “Hotel California” and a heartfelt “Desperado” that couldn’t have been more poignant or more beautiful.

Schmit sounded great on the high notes that continue to define his one song in the vocal spotlight, “I Can’t Tell You Why.”

Deacon Frey has always done a brilliant job of channeling his dad on vocals and that proved to be the case on “Take It Easy,” “Peaceful Easy Feeling” and “Already Gone,” which was further enhanced by Henley’s stellar harmonies.

As for Walsh, the man remains a wildly entertaining goofball who also happens to be an amazing guitarist. Walsh's moments in the vocal spotlight were a blast, from “Rocky Mountain Way” to “In the City,” “Life’s Been Good” and his riff-rocking hit from the James Gang days, “Funk #49.”

On more than one occasion, he was having so much fun investing his delivery with all the personality at his disposal, he had to rush the first few words of his increasingly elastic phrasing just to catch up to the song.

In introducing “Life’s Been Good,” he told the crowd, “I have some advice for you young people. Don’t get old. OK? Don’t get old. I’m 76. I’m not old. That’s why I’m up here. Don’t get old. You’ve gotta stay young.”

Then, upon further reflection, he added, “And out of jail. Stay young and out of jail.”

Staying out of jail is obviously easier (for most of us) than staying young. That’s why the Eagles are packing it in.

And if this does turn out to be their final trip to Phoenix? Even with one member struggling to get through his vocals, they still did their legend proud. And what more could you ask after 53 years?

Steely Dan did a brilliant job opening for the Eagles

Steely Dan’s performance was ridiculously good.

When Walter Becker died in 2017, his longtime partner Donald Fagen issued a statement saying, “I intend to keep the music we created together alive as long as I can with the Steely Dan band.”

To that end, he’s assembled a stellar ensemble of touring musicians to navigate the dizzyingly complex jazz-rock fusion that defined their finest work while in total command of the groove as they dusted off highlights as timeless as “Josie,” “Hey Nineteen,” “Kid Charlemagne” and “Bodhisattva.”

From the time they took the stage without Fagen to open the set with a jazz instrumental, it was clear that we were dealing with some very obviously talented musicians, from drummer Keith Carlock, who brought “Reelin’ in the Years” to a crowd-pleasing close with a stunning solo, to Jon Herington, an awe-inspiring lead guitarist who also serves as musical director, and bassist Freddie Washington.

The touring lineup also features a second guitarist (Adam Rogers), a second keyboardist (Jim Beard), a four-man horn squad and three female vocalists who effortlessly stole the spotlight out from under Fagen with the complex harmonies of “Josie” with Carolyn Leonhart powering through a deeply soulful “Pretzel Logic.”

Fagen’s singing is more conversational than soulful, but the man remains an enigmatic presence and an excellent musician, at times stepping out from behind his keyboards to take a melodica solo.

Musically speaking, these two bands are worlds apart. But if you grew up listening to the radio at all when songs like “Hotel California” and “Peg” were tearing up the charts, it all makes sense.

Best Eagles songs of all time: Their greatest hits, from 'Hotel California' to 'Desperado'

A friend asked if Fagen played “Everything You Did,” the Steely Dan song that includes the line, “Turn up the Eagles; the neighbors are listening.”

He did not.

Some didn't think Fagen has a right to tour as Steely Dan now that Becker is no longer with us.

A wise man once said, “Life goes on within you and without you.”

Co-op Live make major announcement about huge Eagles shows

A major update to the Eagles UK residency has been announced. The band, who will be performing exclusively in Manchester this summer, were due to be joined by long-time contemporaries Steely Dan for their final tour dates.

However, yesterday evening fans were sent an update to say that due to 'unforeseen circumstances', the American rock band would no longer be performing as support. Event organisers issued the update via ticket providers.

In January, Eagles announced a UK residency at the soon-to-be launched Co-op Live in Manchester. The five shows will be the only dates the band will play in the UK.

Made up of Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit with Vince Gill and Deacon Frey, the "Hotel California" rockers will play five dates at Manchester's Co-op Live arena in late May and early June 2024. They'll now we joined by The Doobie Brothers for the dates.

Also confirming the news, a spokesperson for Co-op Live said: "Due to unforeseen circumstances, Steely Dan will not be performing the shows in Manchester. The Doobie Brothers will be replacing them on all shows."

Eagles final tour, 'The Long Goodbye', began in September 2023 at Madison Square Garden in New York, and is covering much of North America in 2024.

The California group's career spans for more than five decades and has seen them sell for than 200 million albums globally. With their musical blend of country, folk, R&B and rock, Eagles made an instantaneous mark on rock music with their 1972 debut single “Take It Easy,” and over the years have become on of the most commercially successful bands of all time.

Their farewell tour was confirmed in July 2023 with the band describing their time as a "miraculous 52-year odyssey", but said that the time had come top "close the circle". They added: "We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for embracing this band and its music. At the end of the day, you are the reason we have been able to carry on for over five decades. This is our swan song, but the music goes on and on.”

Speaking about landing the only UK dates on The Eagles farewell tour, Gary Roden, Executive Director and General Manager at Co-op Live commented: “We’ve always said that our mission is to bring the world’s biggest artists to Manchester, and we’re delighted Co-op Live is hosting the only UK shows of Eagles’ farewell tour. Hosting these shows epitomises the ambition that the arena is built on, and we can’t wait to be part of plenty more historic events like this one.”

Fun facts from our Moscow Metro Tours:

From the very first days of its existence, the Moscow Metro was the object of civil defense, used as a bomb shelter, and designed as a defense for a possible attack on the Soviet Union.

At a depth of 50 to 120 meters lies the second, the coded system of Metro-2 of Moscow subway, which is equipped with everything you need, from food storage to the nuclear button.

According to some sources, the total length of Metro-2 reaches over 150 kilometers.

The Museum was opened on Sportivnaya metro station on November 6, 1967. It features the most interesting models of trains and stations.

Coffee Ring

The first scheme of Moscow Metro looked like a bunch of separate lines. Listen to a myth about Joseph Stalin and the main brown line of Moscow Metro.

Zodiac Metro

According to some astrologers, each of the 12 stops of the Moscow Ring Line corresponds to a particular sign of the zodiac and divides the city into astrological sector.

Astrologers believe that being in a particular zadiac sector of Moscow for a long time, you attract certain energy and events into your life.

Paleontological finds 

Red marble walls of some of the Metro stations hide in themselves petrified inhabitants of ancient seas. Try and find some!

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.
