If the quality is up to Hell Freezes Over then this should be a treat. That's one tough reference-quality disc to live up to.

If there was ever a group still together for the money, its these guys.

They really truly hate each other, although they do make great music together ...

While I am a big fan of the Eagles, and I am glad they are releasing new material. My two favorite vocalists in the band are Don Henley and Timothy b. Schmidt. I sure hope we get some new tunes by Timothy soon. He has such incredible range. And Henley is the freakin' man. I like Walsh and Frey, they just aren't in the same class(singing-wise) as the other two.

They do Funk 49 and Rocky Mt Way? Sold!!!

Watching it now on TV, and my damn HD feed keeps dropping the audio! ARGH!

I'll be picking up this DVD when it comes out. I really hope for DTS, but I would be shocked if it had it.

bboisvert

The HD looked decent, but the sound really wasn't that good. I expect the DVD to sound better... at least I hope so!

Al_Tahoe

You're probably right, but how much better 'quality of life' does one have with a net worth of 110 million as opposed to 100 million? If they hate each other that much it just doesn't seem like it would be worth it.

Both songs plus Turn to Stone have been a regular part their song list since Walsh joined. My biggest dissapointment was that they were not included in the 1980 live album.
Last time I saw them(whrn they were really good and really rocked) in summer of 1980 song list:
TAKE IT EASY
PEACEFUL EASY FEELING
DESPERADO
DOOLIN DALTON
TEQUILA SUNRISE
ALREADY GONE
JAMES DEAN
BEST OF MY LOVE
OL'55
LYIN' EYES
HOTEL CALIFORNIA
NEW KID IN TOWN
VICTIM OF LOVE
LIFE IN THE FAST LANE
THE LONG RUN
HEARTACHE TONIGHT
I CAN'T TELL YOU WHY
THOSE SHOES
THE GREEK DON'T WANT NO FREAKS
WALK AWAY
FUNK #49
ROCKY MOUNTAIN WAY
TURN TO STONE
IN THE CITY
LIFE'S BEEN GOOD
ALL NIGHT LONG
WASTED TIME

For what it's worth, this (South African?) web site indicates that it will have DTS:

Wish they would include an old 70s or early 80s era concert with this! But still great news!

I was always a fan of the Eagles, bought all their albums, but if last night's NBC show was supposed to be a commercial for the DVD, they lost a sale here.

I don't mean to offend their current fans, but what was that? No soul, no passion, no heart. It looked (and sounded) almost robotic. There wasn't an ounce of spontanaeity to be seen anywhere. They even had a guy playing and singing all of Don Felder's parts, note-for-note, that could have been replaced by a recording.

I tend to avoid big-venue rock acts and most bands that sell a lot of records, so maybe everybody else is used to and accepts this sort of thing as something other than self-parody. Or maybe with concerts like this one doesn't expect spontanaeity the same way one doesn't expect it at a Broadway show or a classical concert.

But this used to be rock'n'roll mixed with country music, two of the most vital and organic genres out there. This wasn't any of that. This was a reproduction.

Ravenous

Did you see them play Lifes Been Good? Quite the opposite

That show was HORRIBLE! It looked great on HD but damn if the sound was shit. The Horns were too damn loud and very annoying. I could barely hear the damn guitars! And Hotel California was butchered sound wise. All I could hear were the horns during the solo and the whole song had some annoying clicking noise throughout it. It sounded like a clock ticking or something; very weird.

rdclark

Joe Walsh did show more signs of life than the rest of them, but from what I read on Eagles discussion boards last night, all those routines are rehearsed and performed exactly the same way night after night.

Shame about the digital audio. I was watching in analog, and the stereo mix was ok.

vegasbaby

These guys are like robots. They sound very well rehearsed, but lack any kind of sponteneity ...

Just an observation : Don Henley is aging the worst of the bunch ... he's fat.

movieking

Saw a commercial for this and it said that the DVD was filmed in Hi Definition and will feature DTS 5.1.

That seals the deal for me - I'm definitely picking it up.

emhello

I'll definitely pick this up, but would prefer an old remastered show from late 70s or even the Millenium show if they ever videotaped it.

nyer

By the way was 'Hell Freezes Over' ever released in widescreen?

Dalvin

True, Henley is getting a little round around the edges, but who cares? All I care about is how well is Henley singing these days, and he is still in top form,. Nuff said.

emhello

Really don't like the horns much at all either.

nightmaster

He'll be 58 next month. He's entitled.

rw2516

Does Henley even play drums anymore? Both times I saw them in '77 and '80 he played drums on every song.
