Their first best-of collection Greatest Hits (1971-1975) with sales of over 28 million remains the #1 top-selling album ever. The band's roots go back to their role as defining artists in the phenomenally popular Southern California rock scene of the '70's a decade in which they delivered four consecutive #1 albums. In 1998 the Eagles were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the following year were named one of the RIAA's elite Artists of the Century honorees. 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.Format: DVD AUDIO Genre: MUSIC DVD/CONCERTS UPC: 603497042326 Manufacturer No: 970423

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

I returned this item because I did not realize that the HD DVD format would not play on my blueray player. I noticed later when I reordered that this item was no longer available and carried a big warning message. I have since reordered the regular DVD vesion and am happy with it. I hope I got credit for my return!
