Product Description:
Without doubt the Eagles are one of the all-time biggest acts in popular music since the dawn of the rock'n'roll era. The band's roots go back to their role as defining artists in the phenomenally popular Southern California rock scene of the '70s a decade in which they delivered four consecutive #1 albums. Their momentous 2004 farewell tour filled stadiums around the world and this 2-DVD set captures one of the most stellar events from that now-historic global sweep.Track Listings:Long RunNew Kid in TownWasted TimePeaceful Easy FeelingI Can't Tell You WhyOne of These NightsOne Day At A Time (New Track)Lyin' EyesBoys of SummerIn The CityAlready GoneTequila SunriseLove Will Keep Us AliveNo More Cloudy Days (New Track)Hole In the WorldTake It To the LimitYou Belong to the CityWalk AwaySunset GrillLife's Been GoodDirty LaundryFunk #49Heartache TonightLife in the Fast LaneHotel CaliforniaRocky Mountain WayAll She Wants To Do Is DanceTake It EasyDesperadoFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: MUSIC DVD/CONCERTS UPC: 603497216727 Manufacturer No: 972167-2

Thirty songs, spread out over two discs and well over two and a half hours, with fine performances, great sound, and good visual direction: it's all here on Farewell 1 Tour, a documentary of the Eagles' 2004 concert in Melbourne, Australia. At one point, the veteran band seemed unlikely to even make it to the new millennium, but here they are, mostly intact, with a string of hits dating back more than three decades. The majority of them are performed here, from the earliest ('Take It Easy,' 'Desperado,' 'Peaceful Easy Feeling') through 'Hotel California' and 'Life in the Fast Lane' and right up to 'Love Will Keep Us Alive' (from Hell Freezes Over, their most recent recording with new material on it); there are also hits from Glenn Frey, Don Henley, and Joe Walsh's solo careers, and a few new songs as well, including Walsh's 'One Day at a Time' (an earnest ode to his new-found sobriety) and 'Hole in the World,' Frey and Henley's moving, almost gospel-tinged reaction to the events of 9/11/01. Guitarist Don Felder, who split acrimoniously with the band in 2001, isn't much missed, as replacement Steuart Smith plays the parts just as Felder did--i.e., pretty much exactly as they were recorded (indeed, pristine recreations of the studio versions of their songs has always been a hallmark of the Eagles' live shows). As for the somewhat cheeky title, well, there's always been a certain smugness to the Eagles' sense of humor, and it's no different this time, as Frey doesn't even pretend that there won't be a Farewell 2 Tour in the future. And why not? These are good songs, played beautifully by the quartet (plus supplemental musicians) to audiences that love them. Bonus material is limited to perfunctory interviews with the band. --Sam Graham

- Wow. America's Greatest.
The Eagles in concert live or on a DVD are simply amazing. The sounds of Don Henley and Glenn Frey are so distinctive and with the amzing guitar leadership of funny guy Joe Walsh and a very talented Steuart Smith makes this a very special album. And let us not forget Timothy B. Schmit on bass. Phenomenal.

I feel like I'm there at the concert. The audio and picture quality is outstanding on my 60" Plasma.

- Eagjes Farewell Tour (HD DVD
This was an excellent concert. Sound and picture were unbeleivable. The songs were done very close to the original versions in both voice and music, unlike some concerts where the try to change the music and voice tracks and ruin the song.

- The Eagles-Farewell 1 Tour- From Melbourne
This is an "Awesome" DVD. These guys sound better than they did years ago. The venue from Australia was great and the fans are more considerate that in the states. At least you can hear all the music and crowd is not a distraction to the concert. Watched this concert at least 5 times and it never gets old. Hope they have another "Farewell Tour" soon. Wish this would come out in just the CD. Will purchase that one too.
