DESCRIPTION
Without doubt the Eagles are one of the all-time biggest acts in popular music since the dawn of the rock'n'roll era. The band's roots go back to their role as defining artists in the phenomenally popular Southern California rock scene of the '70s a decade in which they delivered four consecutive #1 albums. Their momentous 2004 farewell tour filled stadiums around the world and this 2-DVD set captures one of the most stellar events from that now-historic global sweep.Track Listings:Long RunNew Kid in TownWasted TimePeaceful Easy FeelingI Can't Tell You WhyOne of These NightsOne Day At A Time New TrackLyin' EyesBoys of SummerIn The CityAlready GoneTequila SunriseLove Will Keep Us AliveNo More Cloudy Days New TrackHole 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 EasyDesperadoFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: MUSIC DVD/CONCERTS UPC: 603497216727 Manufacturer No: 972167-2
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
