Summary: The ABSOLUTE "BENCHMARK" DVD concert !
Review: From the opening acoustic guitar solo and rhythmic beats of the bass drum, that leave no doubt you're listening to the haunting classic 'Hotel California,' this DVD is an absolute jewel! The Eagles have never sounded better than they do in this concert performance; and I'm speaking as a fan who jumped on this bandwagon before Joe Walsh joined the group. Most of their best classic tunes, from 'Take It Easy' to 'Desperado,' are included with a few soon-to-be classics thrown in for good measure. The production quality of this DVD is nothing short of exemplary. Those reviewers who tell you to measure all other DVD music videos by this one are not exaggerating. Every camera shot, lighting change, pluck of a cord, tickle of the ivories, and drum beat are exquisitely reproduced to the point that you'll think you're sitting in the first row (especially, if you're watching this on a bigscreen TV). Yes, the DTS audio is superb, but the DD encoding should not to be dismissed. The sound quality of both formats sets the bar in the stratosphere. I have yet to show this DVD video to any of my music lover friends who haven't asked where they can get a copy, and most have. Even my sweet old parents, who never knew an Eagle from a Doobie Brother had to have this DVD. Buy this DVD and you'll treasure it above all others.

Summary: Top of my list for concert DVDs
Review: I own quite a few concert DVDs, and this is by far, my favorite. The sound quality is exceptional. In fact, I consider this DVD to be the standard to measure all other concert DVDs to for audio quality.In one particular track (my favorite) you need to have DTS on your audio system to enjoy it....you will be blown away! The song is "Seven Bridges Road". The sound is so clear, I feel like each member of the band is sitting around me in a semi-circle singing in perfect harmony. It's enough to give you shivers! I definitely think that this is a must-have DVD. Even if you're a casual Eagles fan, you won't be disappointed.

Summary: They set the standard
Review: I tried to find one superlative that hasn't already been used in describing this dvd and found there are none. I will simply say this, how many reviews of other dvd's have you read that say something about how that dvd almost has the audio qualities of The Eagles - Hell Freezes Over. In other words, this dvd set the standard to which others may only aspire. If you have DTS surround sound, it doesn't get any better than this. And that doesn't even address their incredible talent as songwriters, singers, musicians and performers. This is simply the greatest musical concert dvd ever produced.

Summary: This is the BEST Eagles DVD out there.
Review: I have a great DTS system with Yamaha reciever and Klipsch speakers that made this DVD a fantastic experience. I've watched this many times and the sound is first rate. Everyone who watches and listens are amazed. If you like the EAgles...you'll love this as one of the best concert DVD's out there.

Summary: More Eagles Stuff , This all you got?
Review: I like this Dvd It was ok , but all that revamp of old songs kinda left me cold . i just wish there was more eagles concert stuff out there i know that the record companies have it & the eagles very popular i wondered why they have'nt yet. if they taped the 30th anniverary tour that would be a killer to see & even the 1976 tour with randy you know one you see on VH-1 the Hotel califorina /seven bridges road that would be awsome to see it. although this in the present somewhat i'd like to see more eagles stuff out in the future please.

Summary: Constantly No. 1 Music DVD in Australia
Review: 'Hell Freezes Over' was recorded way back in 1994. The DVD however, didn't come out until much later, so fans quite happily listened to the normal CD of the concert ... not knowing that one day this fantastic concert would be safe and treasured on a DVD .... and for the lucky ones who did their homework, bought the DTS version. Even if you have the non-DTS version you can still enjoy this magic experience. What I love most about this album is Henley's incredible voice. On top of that, my all time favourite Eagles songs are here - Wasted Time, Pretty Maids, and the Final Resort. The Eagles album tracks have always been better than the singles, and they must know this too! That's why you'll hardly find many singles on this DVD.
Don Henley's voice is 100% perfect and I cannot rave enough about how clear it is! 'Wasted Time' is done so beautifully that it will send shivers right up your spine ... and you will get goosebumps for sure. And I almost cried when he did 'Last Resort' because it was so beautiful.
The DVD picture quality is amaazingly good considering its only video. Pity it's not widescreen, but the sound CERTAINLY makes up for it. For those who have DTS surround sound, I'm sure you will agree that this is the finest Music DVD out there. It's been out for nearly 2 years now, and it still sits at the No 1. spot on the Music DVD chart in Australia. For those who want an even sharper picture, order a copy from Australia because its been converted to PAL. And for those who are wondering whether to buy this - I can't recommend a DVD more. You will NEVER tire of this incredible experience. God bless the Eagles for bringing such a beautiful DVD to the world.

Summary: Hell finally froze over!!
Review: This is something many classic rock fans dreamed about for many years--the reunion of the Eagles. Then, finally, in 1994, it happened, and the result is this spectacular concert DVD (along with the album of the same title). The sound is absolutely fantastic, and the band is very impressive, definitely at the top of their game. Most of the classics you and I have heard on the radio for so many years are present here, many performed with a little bit of extra kick that makes you remember why the Eagles were such a rockin' band in the first place. And the version of "Hotel California" is breathtaking, very well done. I bought the CD when it came out in '94, and am only now experiencing the DVD version. Needless to say, I'm very, very impressed, and will be buying it for myself very soon! This is a DVD no Eagles fan should be without, and also one that will be an essential part of any Classic Rocker's collection. The Eagles still have it--and this is the next best thing to going to a concert (for those of us who can't afford it). Don't miss this DVD!

Summary: Best all round music DVD
Review: I've collected about 20 music DVDs from various artists. This one is still the best. Each song is well known--there are no filler songs. Also the use of DTS and the individual speakers is very well done. In many songs different voices or instruments are recorded onto different speakers. It is not gimmicky but instead is very smooth and pleasing. The artists look very emotional as they sing. That's nice to see. The little one minute DTS surround sound demo as you start the DVD is very impressive too.

Summary: Must Be Heard To Be Believed
Review: I've heard almost every one of these songs on the radio just about every day for half of my life. Other than the flamenco-sounding intro to Hotel California, there is really nothing terribly new or unique about these performances. Years apart did not diminish the harmonies that these guys can produce, but neither did it seem to reignite any creative juices. So why the 5 star review? Simple- the songs that I hear on the radio, in the mall, on my CD player are not recorded in DTS sound. This concert is in DTS and before you think that's just a technogeeks obssession over barely noticeable sound differences, take a listen. The clarity, the separation of the voices and the instruments, all make this sound as good, if not better, than being in a concert hall. You will simply be blown away by the sound if this. Even if you don't like The Eagles or have managed to never have heard a note of these songs, you need still to hear this DVD to appreciate the full potential of the medium. And the performances of these classic if overplayed songs are top-notch. I would honestly stop listening to live CD recordings if this became the standard for all concert recordings. I hope that other artists follow suit...there is a difference between 5.1 and DTS, and it's full potential is realized in discs like this... And be sure to listen to the audio-only version of Seven Bridges Road at the end of the disc. Turn it up and enjoy.

Summary: WELCOME TO THE SHOW.
Review: I own this video but in Laser Video Disc (released in 1994).
Nothing to say except that this is just EXCELLENT, top of the tops.
The music of the EAGLES has been a part of my life since my teenage years : their sound will take to to these good old times where music was still a creation and not just a computer composition.
If you love guitar you will be in paradize !
