The reunion produced a tour, a new album, and a concert video, which was aptly namedHell Freezes Over. The DVD version of this video, released in 1999, is still considered tobe one of the definitive DTS surround soundtracks for a concert video. Only a handful ofothers have even come close to its marvelous surround sound mix.Ten years later we have the Eagles Farewell I Tour, whose name both mocks many of theirfellow elder statesmen who always seem to have that one last tour in themand also lets you know that this is most likely not their final farewell tour.I only found Hell Freezes Over to be an average performance, and my expectations for thisone were a little higher. My real curiosity was whether this DVD would live up to thesuperior production quality of Hell Freezes Over. Damn if it doesn't!The Eagles Farewell I Tour is a sprawling two-disk package featuring a career spanning30-song set - matched only by Rush's 30-song Rush In Rio set. And they have all of thoseepic 15-minute prog numbers too. If only every concert DVD was this generous. This "first"Eagles farewell tour was recorded at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia on November14, 2004, and you may have already caught most of it on PBS during their pledge week awhile back.The four remaining Eagles looked pretty good for their ages, although a small army ofstylists and makeup artists backstage probably helped their cause. They started the showdressed in some very dapper suits, sans the ties of course, and then changed into some jeansand other more casual attire during the first set intermission. Joe Walsh's casual attireincluded a pair of his trademark eyesore pajama bottoms (or are they those baggy bodybuilderspants?) he seems to enjoy wearing so much. He looked rather conservative here compared tothe fluorescent yellow shirt, matching sneakers, and black beret he wore at the CrossroadsGuitar Festival last year. But, hell, he can get away with it, because he nearly stole thatshow from about 30 of the worlds greatest guitarists, and he was certainly the best thinggoing at this Eagles show.There is not much for Eagles fans to complain about here. The set list runs like an ultimateEagles' greatest hits package, and also features many of Henley and Walsh's solo hits. Forme, actually, most of the solo material was the highlight of the concert. The songs wereall meticulously performed and, for the most part, sounded exactly like their studiocounterparts. That is if you can forgive the HORN SECTION blasting away on every song. Now Ilove a good horn section as much as the next guy, but I don't recall "Life In The FastLane", and "Hotel California" ever sounding like a frigging Chicago song. Sometimes itworked, when they were used minimally to enhance the songs, other times it was more of adistraction like with the two previously mentioned numbers.Disk two of the set, really gets things rollin', as Walsh starts to strut his stuff more.Within the span of seven songs you get the incredible trifecta of "Life's Been Good","Funk #49", and "Rocky Mountain Way". Don Felder was unceremoniously fired from the band in2001, and his presence was sorely missed here. His fill in, Steuart Smith, faithfullyreproduces Felder's guitar parts, but he was boring and had no chemistry with the rest ofthe band. To his defense, that is probably how they wanted it. I sure would have loved tosee Walsh and Felder spar on the "Hotel California" guitar solos one last time though.Henley, Frey, Walsh and Schmit were backed by an accomplished eight-piece band, which reallygave the live versions a full and vibrant sound. This worked especially well with all ofHenley's solo material, such as "The Boys Of Summer" and "All She Wants To Do Is Dance",which sounded much better than I ever remembered. Another surprising highlight was Frey'sMiami Vice contribution "You Belong to the City" which blew away the original version thanksto some outstanding sax work and Joe Walsh's fuzzed out guitar solos.Set ListThe Long RunNew Kid In TownWasted TimePeaceful Easy FeelingI Can't Tell You WhyOne of These NightsOne Day At A TimeLyin' EyesBoys Of SummerIn The CityAlready GoneTequila SunriseLove Will Keep Us AliveNo More Cloudy DaysHole In the WorldTake It To The LimitYou Belong to the CityWalk AwaySunset GrillLife's Been GoodDirty LaundryFunk #49Heartache TonightLife In The Fast LaneHotel CaliforniaRocky Mountain WayAll She Wants To Do Is DanceTake It EasyDesperado<a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/83885488/Eagles_Farewell_Concert_Melbourne_Australia.part01.rar" target="_blank">http://rapidshare.com/files/83885488/Eagles_Farewell_Concert_Melbourne_Australia.part01.rar</a><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/83889084/Eagles_Farewell_Concert_Melbourne_Australia.part02.rar" target="_blank">http://rapidshare.com/files/83889084/Eagles_Farewell_Concert_Melbourne_Australia.part02.rar</a><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/83892607/Eagles_Farewell_Concert_Melbourne_Australia.part03.rar" target="_blank">http://rapidshare.com/files/83892607/Eagles_Farewell_Concert_Melbourne_Australia.part03.rar</a><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/83896042/Eagles_Farewell_Concert_Melbourne_Australia.part04.rar" target="_blank">http://rapidshare.com/files/83896042/Eagles_Farewell_Concert_Melbourne_Australia.part04.rar</a><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/83899828/Eagles_Farewell_Concert_Melbourne_Australia.part05.rar" target="_blank">http://rapidshare.com/files/83899828/Eagles_Farewell_Concert_Melbourne_Australia.part05.rar</a><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/83903916/Eagles_Farewell_Concert_Melbourne_Australia.part06.rar" target="_blank">http://rapidshare.com/files/83903916/Eagles_Farewell_Concert_Melbourne_Australia.part06.rar</a><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/83907400/Eagles_Farewell_Concert_Melbourne_Australia.part07.rar" target="_blank">http://rapidshare.com/files/83907400/Eagles_Farewell_Concert_Melbourne_Australia.part07.rar</a><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/83911223/Eagles_Farewell_Concert_Melbourne_Australia.part08.rar" target="_blank">http://rapidshare.com/files/83911223/Eagles_Farewell_Concert_Melbourne_Australia.part08.rar</a><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/83915075/Eagles_Farewell_Concert_Melbourne_Australia.part09.rar" target="_blank">http://rapidshare.com/files/83915075/Eagles_Farewell_Concert_Melbourne_Australia.part09.rar</a><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/83919001/Eagles_Farewell_Concert_Melbourne_Australia.part10.rar" target="_blank">http://rapidshare.com/files/83919001/Eagles_Farewell_Concert_Melbourne_Australia.part10.rar</a><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/83922661/Eagles_Farewell_Concert_Melbourne_Australia.part11.rar" target="_blank">http://rapidshare.com/files/83922661/Eagles_Farewell_Concert_Melbourne_Australia.part11.rar</a><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/83926567/Eagles_Farewell_Concert_Melbourne_Australia.part12.rar" target="_blank">http://rapidshare.com/files/83926567/Eagles_Farewell_Concert_Melbourne_Australia.part12.rar</a><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/83930358/Eagles_Farewell_Concert_Melbourne_Australia.part13.rar" target="_blank">http://rapidshare.com/files/83930358/Eagles_Farewell_Concert_Melbourne_Australia.part13.rar</a><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/83934151/Eagles_Farewell_Concert_Melbourne_Australia.part14.rar" target="_blank">http://rapidshare.com/files/83934151/Eagles_Farewell_Concert_Melbourne_Australia.part14.rar</a><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/83938280/Eagles_Farewell_Concert_Melbourne_Australia.part15.rar" target="_blank">http://rapidshare.com/files/83938280/Eagles_Farewell_Concert_Melbourne_Australia.part15.rar</a><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/83942662/Eagles_Farewell_Concert_Melbourne_Australia.part16.rar" target="_blank">http://rapidshare.com/files/83942662/Eagles_Farewell_Concert_Melbourne_Australia.part16.rar</a><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/83946493/Eagles_Farewell_Concert_Melbourne_Australia.part17.rar" target="_blank">http://rapidshare.com/files/83946493/Eagles_Farewell_Concert_Melbourne_Australia.part17.rar</a></blockquote>
