DVD Reviews of The Eagles - Farewell 1 Tour - Live From Melbourne
DVD Review: Fabulous!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had the chance now to watch the DVD twice and I am just so impressed that after all these years, the Eagles are able to put on such an amazing show. You would think that at this point they might just mail it in, but they give an absolutely electric performance. Don Henley is just amazing. His voice is stellar, although his rendition of "Hotel California" seemed just slightly off. Maybe if they had put it earlier in the concert instead of at the end, his voice would have been more fresh. But he hits everything else just right. Glenn Frey is great too. He's sort of the emcee and has a few funny jokes, such as dedicating "Lyin Eyes" to his ex wife, Plaintiff. (Get it?) Although he looks kind of silly dancing while Henley sings "All She Wants to Do is Dance." He and Joe Walsh also seem a bit off during the closing credits in an interview they taped. Walsh seems kind of out of it and Frey can't stop his giggles. I also gained new appreciation for Timothy B. Schmit. People rag on him all the time that he's not a "real" Eagle and not as good as Randy Meisner, but I think he definitely holds his own. "Love Will Keep Us Alive" is such a beautiful song. And no Don Felder - who cares! If you like the Eagles, you will LOVE this DVD. DVD Review: Just GREAT!
Summary: 5 Stars
I liked the Eagles before I watched this and now I love them. These guys are total professionals who are polished and understand what it takes to entertain an audience.. There is not one negative comment that I can make except the type should be larger for old farts like me.DVD Review: Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an awesome concert video! I read all the reviews before I bought it and I just don't get the negative reviews. These guys are in thier 60's and they are still great, you will not be dissapointed.DVD Review: VERY Entertaining
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't care what any of the naysayers think. I think this is one of the 2 or 3 most entertaining DVD's I've bought in recent years (out of many). The video and audio production are outstanding. The guys sound better than they ever have in my opinion and are entertaining to watch as well as listen to. The other players in the performance are top-notch. I'm a bigger Joe Walsh fan than ever before after watching this, too. If you like the Eagles even a little, this is worth the price.DVD Review: Sell-Outs
Summary: 1 Stars
Don Henley & Glenn Frey are just a couple of sell-outs. It's no longer about the music. It's just $$$ to them.
What a poor performance. They looked like they didn't want to be their. 3 of the 5 Eagles have now moved on maybe they should too.
Description of The Eagles - Farewell 1 Tour - Live From Melbourne
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 GrahamDisc 1:The Long RunNew Kid In TownWasted TimePeaceful Easy FeelingI Can't Tell You WhyOne Of These NightsOne Day At A TimeLyin' EyesThe Boys Of SummerIn The CityAlready GoneTequila SunriseLove Will Keep Us AliveNo More Cloudy DaysHole In The WorldTake It To The LimitDisc 2:You Belong To The CityWalk AwaySunset GrillLife's Been GoodDirty LaundryFunk #49Heartache TonightLife In The Fast LaneHotel CaliforniaRocky Mountain WayAll She Wants To DoIs DanceTake It EasyDesperadoSystem Requirements:Without doubt the Eagles are one of the all-time biggest acts in popular music since the dawn of the rock 'n' roll era. Their first best-of collection Greatest Hits (1971-1975) with sales of over 28 million remains the #1 top-selling album ever. The band's roots go back to their role as defining artists in the phenomenally popular Southern California rock scene of the '70's a decade in which they delivered four consecutive #1 albums. In 1998 the Eagles were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the following year were named one of the RIAA's elite Artists of the Century honorees. 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.Format: DVD AUDIO Genre: MUSIC DVD/CONCERTS UPC: 603497042326 Manufacturer No: 970423
