The Eagles Farewell 1 Tour Live From Melbourne DTS xvid avi



For years I have used the "Hell Freezes Over" DVD to show off my Home Theater System (HTS) system because of the great DTS recording track the DVD has. A few DVDs have equaled this acheivment, but none have surpassed any musical performance audio track- until now. While the video is not all that great (looks like standard def TV), the audio is stunning. The instruments are distinct and real, especially the up-front way the brass are mixed into this recording. I can't think of any way this could have been improved. Even the bass guitar and bass drum are distinct, a most difficult thing that 99% of sound recordings fail to do.



As for the Eagles band, they are showing their age, especially Joe Walsh. Don Henley still looks and sounds great, Glen Frey is his usual arrogant self, Schmit is the exact opposite of Frey. Who would have thought that the low-key southern rock backup band for Linda Ronstadt was prove to be among the most successful recording artists in history. Without a doubt, the Eagles have tremendous appeal especially to Baby Boomers and GenX who miss the Beatles.



Here we have the opening number (The Long Run) performance video from the first disk. The introduction chapter has been deleted as well as the band introduction at the end of the disk. If there is any demand, I will release the entire disk, and then there is also a disk two.



The video track xvid 2-pass vbr 1100kbps progressive 848x480 to preserve the resolution was on the original.

The audio trock is DTS direct from the DVD. It's truly excellent. The bitrate is higher than the video! Enjoy on your HTS...

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
