Summary: Eagles Soar Again
Review: There isn't much left to be said about the superlative Hell Freezes Over except a couple of points which need to be made. There is far too much emphasis on Don Henley, including during the backstage sequences, and the fact that Glenn Frey only sings three songs is to say the least inexplicable. The long New York Minute-Last Resort sequence which is dominated by Henley just drags. That aside it was so wonderful to see them back together that it doesn't matter that much. But now they have been back for ten years and we desperately need an official, more recent DVD.
My favourite moment as an unashamed Frey fan is when he is talking about clearing the backstage area. He wipes his brow and turns away, obviously stressed. Joe Walsh pats him on the back. This says more about the Eagles dynamic than any amount of Henley's self-importance ever could.

Summary: Great video and sound - Eagles Rock
Review: This DVD is shot so well that it can be used as a video demo. I highly recommend this disc any Eagles fan and for people who just like good music. As much as I like this DVD, I was surprised that the Eagles did not perform the song "New Kid In Town". [A song from their Hotel California LP/CD.]

Summary: Set the standard for music DVDs..
Review: The soundstage setting suits the acoustic sound and harmonies to a tee, as well as some "behind the scenes" footage. A lot of people use this as a "demo" to show off their entertainment system, and the intimate setting-style comes across in your living room loud and clear. Drawbacks: If you've been to an Eagles concert, the dynamic is very different and the shows are far more energetic. The amount of material they do during the shows (post 1994) covers the solo and band era, which covered a lot of territory, and came to about 3 hours. I'm sure that as with Fleetwood Mac, there will be a DVD of the "Farewell I" tour. But the Hell Freezes Over video is about 100 minutes. Hopefully, they can put out a vintage era video collection that has some of the early 70s BBC and Don Kirshner footage as well as the more familiar footage from "Hotel California" and "The Long Run" promos they've shown on TV in the past.
