Product Description
Live performance by the Eagles.
Amazon.com
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

This is the BEST concert of The Eagles August 14, 2010
=Aeolus X=
All I can say is that the Farewell Tour Concert of the Eagles is very well done. All of the songs starting from The Long Run to Desperado was fantastic! They made good work changing the songs like Peacefull Easy Feeling and New Kid In Town into something worth listening for.
I recommend you guys to watch this DVD as it will soften even the hardest Stone because of the Songs played by only and the best... The Eagles.

ONE OF THE GREATEST July 30, 2010
John G. Griffiths (Springfield, OR, USA)
The Eagles are one of the greatest artist groups of all times. Born to the general public with original songs in the 70's, they still maintain
that certain stage presence that gained them instant fame.
This DVD set is well worth the investment for anyone remembering their continuing greatness.
RECOMMEND!
John G.
Great concert, great disc July 4, 2010
Pradsz
Casual fans and life long followers alike will appreciate this beautifully captured concert film of The Eagles. Pristine audio and video quality combined with the boys still in peak form combine to form a truly memorable experience. All the hits are here, plus some new ones, including a once-again reimagined "Hotel California" that brings the house down. Plus, the pure adulation from a crowd that includes Baby Boomers and Millenials side-by-side is breathtaking. All around, a must have for any fan of one of the greatest bands of all time.
Excellent DVD May 12, 2010

This Eagles DVD is so good that I have watched it 4 times already and I am still not tired of it. If you are an Eagles fan then you should purchase this DVD. You too will love it.
