Summary: Henley Fizzles Solo
Review: I love Don Henley but I love him with the Eagles. In this show, once you get past the Nehru jacket, the orange hair & the dark glasses, he barely tries to give anything resembling a performance. He stands there looking smug, virtually saying to his audience 'don't I write great lyrics' and 'I'm a great singer, aren't I'. The appallingly offhand version of The Heart Of The Matter has been swamped by the Eagles' Hell Freezes Over version. What he does to his most famous song, Hotel California, beggars belief. Those legendary gravel-lined vocal chords are no more than adequate. And perhaps this is being petty, but the anonymous band are given two separate credits for a 'Musical Director' and a 'Band Leader', both of which, when Henley is in his rightful place with the Eagles, are handled by someone called G. Frey, without a credit.

Summary: Henley Sucks
Review: I thought I have another gold to be added to my dvd concert collection unitl I heard Henley's solo version of HOTEL CALIFORNIA, it was a disaster in the highest intensity, I & my friends nearly died laughing and me , I was so embarrassed because before we played it I keep telling them that somebody wrote in the review that the HC version is worth the dvd (what a fool I was to believe that). How in the world could he allow himself in ruining the national anthem of many of the EAGELS believers!!!I condemn him for doing this!!! Fortunately for Henley he included the EAGLES' In The Long Run, this save his ass!!!....and compare the guitarists that Henley hired to join him here with EAGLES' Don Felder & Joe Walsh, they are 3000 miles away from Hell Freezes Over! Anyhow this is still a good dvd, good song choices and good audio on both DTS and DD, I could have rated it with 5 star but Henley's version of HC took away 2 stars! So come on Don redeem yourself!!!!

Summary: Awesome!!!!!!
Review: I was a teen in the late 70's and an Eagles fan. I followed both Don Henley and Glenn Frye thru the 80's. When Hell Freezes Over came out on VHS I fell in love with it so it was no surprise that I bought the Inside Job CD as soon as it was released. When this DVD came out it was a must and did not disappoint!!!! I love it (except for the hair) and Don Henley is still rockin'!!! Talking To The Moon still makes me cry and My Thanksgiving has become my fav song...only wish that On My WEdding Day had been on here. And There Not Here....is kickin'. Inside Job is an absolute must for any music fan and this delivers all and more.....

Summary: DTS Rules
Review: If there is anyone out there that would still argue that Dolby's Prologic is the format of choice for music, they obviously don't have DTS dialed in properly in their home theater. This DVD is the finest example to date of DTS at its best. Clean, Pure. It will expose any shortcomings in the reproduction chain -- even tiny ones -- so be careful. Yes, there are a few weak points in the DVD, but it sounds to me like that can be traced to the miking, quality of microphones used, etc. This is that clean a recording -- you can hear the subtleties. MUCH better than Eagles DVD, even the DTS version. Fuller. More dynamic. Like being there. I have played this DVD for friends over and over, and everyone of them runs out the next day to pick it up. Great engineering and sound quality, plus the video is also well above average.

Summary: Don Henley LIVE
Review: If you are looking for a concert full of spectacular effects, go and purchase "Cher in concert". Let's face it, Don Henley is not a stage show, but he is a fantastic songwriter. This concert filmed in 2000, displays some of his solo songs, and some songs from his contribution as a key member of the Eagles.
I was looking very forward to watching this DVD. However, I was disappointed as the show lacked any spark, and his voice is not as good as it once was. In fact, he seemed to have trouble reaching the high notes on several occasions.
This DVD comes with DTS, 5.1 surround sound and 2.0. Both DTS and 5.1 sound quite tinny and lack substantial bass. I recommend viewers selecting the 2.0 mix.
DVD highlights include "Taking You Home" and "Desperado". As other reviewers have stated, his new version of "Hotel California" is dreadful. Skip that particular song.

Summary: Splendid!
Review: It seems, as time goes on, Henley just gets better. With the eagles he came up with 'The Last Resort' possibly one of the prettiest use of chord sequences about and powerful words to accompany them. Then solo with classics 'The End Of The Innocence' and 'New York Minute' and now with what I regard the best two tracks on this album 'Goodbye To A River' and 'Damn It Rose'. The latter trying to convey the suicide of a close friend. What you hear is what you get with Henley. He has to be the finest vocalist 'live' I've encountered. As for his songwriting let me put it this way, I'd put him up next to Roger Waters with the way his songs always manage to move me. Shame they left the two best songs form the album off the DVD. Splendid work Mr Henley. Time to take another eleven year break it was worth the wait.

Summary: Outstanding Performance!
Review: Picked this up after hearing the Hell Freezes Over DVD and was totally thrilled at the great song selection, the great sounding band and especially the "TEX MEX" version of Hotel California. I don't understand the complaints about the new version. If you want to hear the old version, listen to the Eagles CD. It is nice to see a new twist to an old classic. Loved the horns. The new songs were a nice addition to Henley's classics, especially "Everything is Different Now". The only complaint is that I felt the audio didn't take full advantage of DTS and DD as well as Hell Freezes Over. Still sounded great though.
