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:

I've been a fan of The Eagles as long as I can remember. I'm so glad I came across this concert on AXS tv. It was phenomenal! I'm definitely looking to purchase the dvd! RIP Glenn Frey, a true musician and performer🎶

This is the very BEST musical DVD that I've ever experienced. There is no doubt that the Eagles have reached their musical peak in their "winter years!" Perfection is the only adjective that I feel is worthy of describing each and every performer on this DVD, from the singers to the musical instruments, all in PERFECT harmony. As is the disappointing case with a lot of other live performances, nothing is lost but only pleasingly embellished. Listening to it with surround sound stereo transported us to the concert! I plan to enjoy it over and over & never tire of it. I also appreciated the support that the Eagles' members gave each other by performing their individual hits, (from the "break-up" years) together. Do yourself a big favor & add this one to your collection.

This is quite simply one of the finest concert films ever made.

First of all, how many artists have so many hit singles? The Eagles can fill hours with their music and never resort to fillers. This is a soundtrack of the seventies. And they introduce a few new songs, which are also worth hearing.

The music is performed flawlessly. The band is augmented by some very talented performers, including "The Might Horns", who supply whatever sounds are needed.

The four lead singers still have excellent voices. Though they may be performing songs thirty years after first release, they can still hit the notes, and even add another level of meaning.

Finally, the production is excellent. The camera misses nothing. And the camera operators do not draw the viewer's attention away from the group.

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.
