What was the name of the Eagles' 1994 reunion tour?

The story behind the answer

The Eagles' 1994 reunion tour was called Hell Freezes Over. The title referred to Don Henley's long-running joke that the Eagles would reunite “when hell freezes over,” a phrase that became part of the band's mythology during their 14-year separation.

The reunion followed the 1993 tribute album Common Thread: The Songs of the Eagles. Travis Tritt's video for “Take It Easy” brought the Long Run-era lineup back together, helping persuade the members to perform again. Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Don Felder, and Timothy B. Schmit reunited for the shows.

Hell Freezes Over also became the title of the resulting live album and MTV special, recorded from the reunion performances in April 1994. The album combined live versions of Eagles classics with four new studio recordings and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The question sometimes causes confusion because Hell Freezes Over describes the album and television special as well as the reunion event and tour.
