Man, was it hot (over 100 degrees!) on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, but that didn’t stop 3,000+ Shasta County-ians from turning out to the Sierra Pacific Industries Amphitheater in Anderson, California, to rock out—-and dance—-to the Reno-based Life In The Fast Lane Band who, since 1993, have been recreating the sounds and success of what is (arguably) America’s best rock band—The Eagles.
With enthusiasm, style, and conviction, lead singer/front man Joe Mosier and guitar/keyboardist, John Polizzi, plus Scott Parsons (bass/vocals), Rick Ricketts (guitar/vocals), and drummer, David Lee, blasted through a two-hour set of the Eagles’ most popular songs, including: Hotel California…..One Of These Nights…..Take It To The Limit…..Best Of My Love…..The Long Run…..(there’s gonna’ be) A Heartache Tonight…..Lyin’ Eyes…..Witchy Woman and, of course, Take It Easy and Life In The Fast Lane.
Rock fans and venues say that the Life In The Fast Lane band is “truly the most authentic, spot-on Eagles’ tribute yet,” partly because their 5-part harmonies, plus three guitars, provide them with a signature setup to nail the Eagles’ layered vocals, not to mention their ability to perform note-perfect, unstoppable medleys with seamless transitions.
Here’s what a few Mosquito Serenade-goers had to say about Joe Mosier, John Polizzi, Scott Parsons, Rick Ricketts, and David Lee, they of the Life In The Fast Lane Band:
OLIVER COLLINS: “Our small city punches way above its weight, and the Mosquito Serenade is one big reason why”
DARIN HALE: “Wow! Massive turnout for Mosquito Serenade tonight. Always enjoy seeing all of the smilin’ faces…..having a good time.”
BRYCE ETZLER: “This was a great turnout!”
CHRISTINE STONE: “Tonight was a tribute to the Eagles! This group from Reno was outstanding. And, of course, their last song was Hotel California. We don’t miss the every Wednesday concert at the beautiful Anderson River (Sacramento!) Park.”
GLENDORA HERNANDEZ: “Massive! I drove through the park, and it was packed throughout with cars, cars, cars…..pickups, pickups, pickups. Get the message? We love Mosquito Serenade!”
JERRY SANCHEZ, Sr. “Them opening with Take It Easy made my hair stand up! That song mentions Winslow, Arizona, my beloved, Route 66 birthplace. Glad I could bond a little bit with Joe, John, Scott, Rick and David.”
JOE MOSIER: “We were happy to dedicate Take It Easy to Jerry, and we look forward to reading his article on ShastaUnfiltered.com, plus the SHASTA UNFILTERED eNewspaper social media pages, especially Facebook. God willing, see y’all next year!”
