Product Description

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

Please consider releasing Live from Melbourne and Hell freezes over on Blu-ray
The Eagles release the best concert videos of all time! Now that HD DVD is gone, get with the program Rhino!
Fantastic May 15, 2009
John Morse (Michigan)
Heard this DVD of the Eagles was really good. Bought on Amazon.com, the only place I could find the DVD. Can't stop playing it. Its one amazing DVD. If you love the Eagles, this DVD is for you. Turn it on, turn up the surround sound and sit back and enjoy. Color is fantastic, sound is even better. Can't go wrong...
The Eagles Farewell Tour - Live from Melbourne April 8, 2009
D. Kennicott (Atlanta, GA USA)
The best DVD concert I've ever watched. So many fabulous guest singers playing with the group made this even better. The band still sounds better then ever.
Awesome Eagles DVD April 1, 2009

We are long-time Eagles fans but this is the first DVD of a concert that we have owned. It belongs in every collection! We have watched it over and over and never seem to tire of it. They do plenty of their oldies and also give each member of the group time to be featured. Includes interesting interviews with each of the guys. I would definitely recommend this DVD. Appeals to all ages.
