Eagles: The Farewell 1 Tour - Live from Melbourne

Wow! What a title. Let me explain. In 2007, I borrowed a DVD of this from my musically-inclined Uncle thinking I just wanted to listen to Hotel California since I saw this version on TV and loved it. I didn't know I would fall in love with this band. And when I say fall in love with this band, I meant fell hard! It was the first time I heard how a band should sound like. The harmonies are perfect, the musical embellishments they add to their old songs to reinvent it made this concert a must see for music lovers.

As a background, I exclusively listened to Rock before discovering this gem. When I watched this, it made me realize that there is more to music than just rock and roll. This made me realize that music is music no matter what genre you enjoy. The Eagles set that bar for me. From then on, I would watch live sets of bands and artists I am interested in and judge them according to their live performances.

Few final words. If you enjoy smooth harmonies, old rockstars showing off their musical talents, reinvented old songs then this concert is for you. The documentary gives these artists humanity.

If you are still not convinced, check these songs in this concert and compare them to their original, studio version and you'll know what I'm talking about:

Hotel California Lying Eyes Heartache Tonight Already Gone New Kid in Town.

This is a superb Concert DVD. The Eagles sound better today then they ever have. Like the old saying " a Fine Wine ages better with time," the Eagles are a more mature, finely crafted band then ever before.

Truly one of the great rock and roll bands of all-time, it is a pleasure to see and hear them perform at a top-rate level. I also appreciate that they have included virtually all of their hits with some new twists including a terrific horn section, but at the same time feature individual hits from their solo careers.

This is a must buy for any rock & roll, easy listening or even country music fan.

Outstanding production. As others have noted, they've never sounded better. Good to see that Walsh has himself straightened away.

Walmart is moving this for Christmas at under $10, with three new songs on a CD over-wrapped on the original packaging. Doubt you'll ever get it cheaper.

30 tracks on two DVDs. Both 2.0 and 5.1 sound included. 16x9 video.

Unlike a lot of live concerts, the audience adds to, rather than detracting from, the experience. Also unlike a lot of live material, this is very well mixed.

Really spectacular. A great stocking stuffer for any rock or country fan.

Guys this DVD is the concert as I saw it in Melbourne. Seen many DVD's and Concerts. Nothing even comes close to this concert. I actually saw KISS in concert at VFL Park in Melbournes outer suburbs in 1980. That KISS Concert was Awesome But the EAGLES FAREWELL 1 was better, and this DVD is that Concert. Buy it you wont regret it. Mate Cant Wait For The Farewell 2 Tour:-) I did not know I was an Eagles Fan. Through work a guy rang me and asked if I wanted Tickets to the Eagles concert that night. "Yeah I'LL have 4" He Says "Mate this is the Eagles. How Many" Stupid Me " Four will do Mate" He says "OKAY THEN!!!!!! pick em up at the box office" We get there and we are 20 Rows, in front, from the stage and here are these 4 dudes singing songs I knew by heart. almost 3hrs and not a bad note or key. Freekin AWESOME

superb vocals, great instrumentation! definite A PLUS MATERIAL! the eagles have been, will be, and are the best there is, was, or ever will be! one thing i noticed and will address is that there's a discrepancy between the audio and video on "Walk Away" and will explain the best i can what may have happened....this show was recorded over a period of nights and they must have taken the best audio and paired it with the best video..so every once in a while you'll see something happen but won't hear it or will hear something but won't see it happen. because audio and video are recorded separately for these live projects this is most likely what happened.
