Summary: Wait ! Consider buying the dts version ! You'll love that.
Review: ############################################################### This review is for those of you who are unaware that a dts version the DVD is available, I am actually posting the review for the dts version of the DVD here. If you have a dts capable DVD player/receiver combination buy the dts version of the DVD. It is available on Amazon. ################################################################Now Read on .... Among other tracks, this DVD has Hotel California, Tequila Sunrise, The Girl from Yesterday, New York Minute, The Last Resort, Take It Easy and Desperado. I enjoy these the most. This DVD is the most excellently produced DVD in my collection. The video and audio quality are outstanding. When played on a DTS capable receiver, you are "immersed in " and " surrounded with " music. You can hear the twang of the guitar-strings, the beats of the drums and the vocals from distinct speaker channels. As one song rolls off to another, you can hear the audience's claps and whistles in the background come through the rear-speakers. The home theatre experience is awesome. This DVD has no drawbacks at all. If you have a dts decoder in your receiver or on your DVD player, don't forget to select the dts option. It plays Dolby by default. If your receiver is not dts capable, don't worry - the DVD is worth buying, regardless : You'll one day upgrade to dts capable equipment.

Summary: Impressive! (even if you're not an Eagle's fan!)
Review: The other reviews have already said it: this is the most superb-sounding DVD available. I have no Eagles in my music collection and am not even that interested in their music yet:
1. Attention home theatre types: the fidelity of sound in DTS mode is the finest you'll find on any DVD at this time (Feb 2002) - this is the DVD to impress your friends with how great the sound can be on your home theatre.
2. The picture quality is amazingly sharp (I've been asked by friends if it was shot on HDTV - it wasn't but it looks that sharp).
3. It's assuredly composed and edited...which is much more than I can say for 99% of the concert videos out there. The cuts make sense, the angles aren't crazy or weird and the flow is excellent.
4. Finally, but not least, the band sounds (and even looks) every bit as good as they did 20 some years ago. Don Henley's voice in particular is completely "there" - he hits every high note and never falters. I'm no fan but I am completely blown away by this DVD. As far as I'm concerned it sets a standard for all other concert DVD's.

Summary: Audio 5 stars, visual 4 stars
Review: I cannot count how many times I have seen this DVD being used to demo surround equipment. Many people consider this DVD to be the best of their music DVD collection. I'm inclined to agree. Listening to the DTS version in a surround setup is just about as good as the experience can get. The sound is crisp and detailed - I do have a minor quibble about the selection of songs the Eagles chose to play but that's about the only negative thing I can say. The visuals have a little bit too much movement for my liking but do convey the overall mood of the performance quite well.

Summary: Eagles in DTS surround has to be experienced!
Review: Place the Eagles - Hell Freezes Over DVD in your DTS compatible player, fire up your DTS receiver, sit back and enjoy Eagles hits from the 70's and 80's all in incredible digital clarity eminating from 5 different locations in the surround field. Fan or not, once you hear the spaciousness of this concert, you wonder how you'll ever listen to a stereo track again. Eagles present most of their chart toppers in an intimate concert setting complete with a string section as well as numerous back-up musicians and singers. As an extra the DVD contains a bonus track in DTS audio that is simply stunning, (Seven Bridges Road). Hell Freezes Over deserves 5 stars!

Summary: haven't found a dvd that matchs the qality of this dvd.
Review: People who can't distinguish the difference between DTS and DD probably can't distinguish the difference between mp3 and cda format by ear. there is a difference only can be distinguished by sensitive ears. difference between 20bit audio and 16 bit audio can be compared to digital graphic images. picture looks the same at glance but if you look carefully 20bit has sharper image and more brilliant colors. On this eagles DTS dvd, you will not only hear guitar sound but you will also hear plastic pick strumming against each strings. that's the difference. I close my eyes when i listen to this dvd and i can visualize sonic images of each instrument precisely. i'm not just talking about multiple channel audio mixing. but actual sonic image as something almost tangible being created before my ears. with DD, sound move from speaker to speaker. with DTS, sound goes beyond where speaker doesn't even presence. so far I've listen to VH1 Divas(DD), sarah mclachlan mirror ball(DD), tina turner(wild dream tour)(DTS),3 mozart DTS audio cd, Sting(ten summoner's tale)(DTS),BoyzIImen(DTS) all 5.1 audio dvd or cd. nothing has matched quality of audio mixing or sonic realm of this dvd.

Summary: Lots of missing songs
Review: The best song on this DVD is Joe Walsh`s "Help me through the night"...other wise this show is a bomb... I love the Eagles but they left so much off this DVD, I wanted to hear "best of my love"...nope, wanted to hear 'New kid in town", nope.... jesus, what songs did they do??? Don Henley solo matreial, what??????????????????????????????????? this is THE EAGLES!!!!! not the Don Henley solo show..... Tequila Sunrise was great, Hotel California was great.... etc...... "Take it easy" was great, I think this DVD was a compromise for Don Henley, if he was going to play with these guys he wanted to plug his tunes.....otherwise he wouldnt have done it, theres history here folks.....Don Henley and Glenn Frey do not get along ..god knows why, can anybody answer that???? what happened between these guys????
They wrote some great songs, what could have driven these 2 guys so far apart??? was it egos???? god, hope not.... anyways, good DVD but so mcuh left off........, oh well, "Get over it boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"like songs says.......

Summary: Technically great with good music
Review: I love this DVD. Technically, as far as the sound is concerned, it is superb. With a good set of headphones, you feel as though you are sitting next to the band. You can hear every vibration of the guitar strings. The video is very good, but I would have enjoyed some more closeups of the fingers and instruments. The music is excellent. It is a good representative selection of the Eagles best tracks - both the well-known ones and the not-so-well-known ones - with a combination of old and new, solo and group. As an historical "document", it is great to see the group back together and see how they have changed, or not, over the 14 years since they spilt up. They obviously enjoyed putting the DVD together most of the time. If you concentrate on the music, you can ignore the behind-the-scenes tensions that apparently were there. And I think that the music is great!! I think that all Eagles fans should get this DVD to complete the history of the group, one of the greatest of the genre.

Summary: Audio work is a 6, Video is a 4, ... 5 stars
Review: In DTS this is a fantastic 5.1 recording. Clean and clear. The video is clear for SD I wish it were in 16:9 format, but it's 4:3, but still good. The camera is a bit too much on the move for my taste I would like more fret work, keyboard and drum close-ups, but the video work is good. I'd give it 6 in audio and 4 in video, thus the average of 5 stars. This will make a higher end DTS capable system really perform the way it is supposed to.

Summary: Hell froze over, and someone locked the zombies out
Review: Technically, this is flawless. The playing is flawless, the renditions are flawless, the recording and 5.1 surround sound mixing is flawless (especially worth a listen is the audio-only Seven Bridges Road, where each Eagle has his own speaker to sing out of. The renditions of the songs are so true that, aside from the audience cheers, they may as well be the original studio versions. In fact I'm not 100% convinced, in some cases, that they're not. As a hi-fi or home theatre bench test, this is a great DVD. But as a musical artefact, that's where the buck stops. The Eagles may have had a reason for getting back together, but it doesn't seem to have had anything to do with enjoying performing their music or missing each other: the band members are subdued to the point of being catatonic. Mojo Nixon will be relieved to note that relationships between Don Henley and Glen Frey seem as refrigerated as ever. The band's performance hovers somewhere between wooden and fossilised. The song selection focusses on downbeat, maudlin acoustic numbers, many of which are performed seated. This emphasis seems like a bad thing until the band cranks it up with entirely disposable and energy-free rockers like "Get Over It". There are a number of unremarkable new songs, and Don Henley sings at least one song off a solo album of his. Hmph. Admittedly it is fun hearing Hotel California played in a spanish, unplugged fashion - once - but that is the first song on the set, and it would be a brave listener who could sit through the remainder in one go, and an odd one indeed who wouldn't continually glance at his watch while he did it. It's polished, it's pristine, but it isn't rock 'n' roll, and I don't like it.

Summary: Stirring And Entertaining Video Of Eagles' Reunion Concert!
Review: This is the superb video version covering the equally terrific live album of the reunion of the fabulous Eagles, which was, of course, the singular musical event of the year when it was released, based as much on the fact that the individual members of the former super-group had likened their chances to reforming and performing as a group again was as likely as the title. Well, all things are possible to those who wait, and our wait has been rewarded with an accurate depiction of a richly textured and memorable effort that covers many of their best previous songs as well as several new ones. Thus we trip from "Tequila Sunrise" to "Hotel California", from "New York Minute" to "Desperado", and from "Take It Easy" to "Life In The Fast Lane". The single best aspect of the video is the fact that it shows just how much the guys are enjoying themselves here, as well as the simple fact that they are out there creating and working together, which gives one hope concerning their possible future works, and given other recent efforts like "A Hole In The World", it appears they are again gathering and recording. Hope we don't have to wait for Hell to freeze over again. Enjoy
