The Eagles - Hell Freezes Over

I have loved the Eagles for years, and have several CDs of theirs. Last Christmas my wife and I splurged on a built-in 7.1 home theater system with high quality speakers and components. I have been accumulating music DVDs since then. Other Amazon very positive reviews convinced me I should buy this DVD; I'm really glad I did. I can play audio in either Dolby or DTS. I've found music DVD's sound best when played with DTS, so I always buy videos with DTS audio tracks if they are available. I watched "The Eagles -- Hell Freezes Over" with DTS selected, and all I can say is WOW!. The picture quality is great when upscaled, and the DTS is awesome. The DTS-only bonus track "The Seven Bridges Road" sounds so good that I plan to use it as demo for my audio components and speakers when I want to impress my friends; never mind that its one of my favorite Eagles cuts. My only complaint about this album is that it does not include the Eagles classic "Lyin' Eyes"; otherwise, its perfect. Don Henley, Glen Frey and the rest of the band have aged gracefully, but their musical and performing skills haven't diminished in any way. This is a DVD to sit down to, turn up your volume, kick back, and rock out.

This dvd begins as kind of a documentary, then it continues into acoustic performances of several songs, then ventures into full electric performances. This dvd contains the band members: Don Henley, Glen Frey, Joe Walsh, Don Felder, & Timothy B. Schmit. It includes their classic hits, such as "Hotel California", "Tequila Sunrise", "Desperado", and others. Also, it includes a couple of songs of forgiveness & reconciliation, "The Heart of the Matter", & "Get Over It". After this concert dvd was performed, and their "Hell Freezes Over Tour" ended, Don Felder was dismissed from the band. This is the last concert dvd he appears on with the Eagles. After this dvd, the Eagles evenutally recorded their concert dvd from their "Fairwell I Tour", which includes only Don Henley, Glen Frey, Joe Walsh, and Timothy B. Smith. If you like the Eagles, (and who doesn't?), then you'll enjoy this concert dvd. Thanks!!!

Dvd was still in the wrapping.....very happy.

Yeah, I know it's been over a decade since this was released...but it's still GREAT! For those who thought the price was too high back in 1994, I have good news. The price is now right! A steal, really. The level of musicianship displayed in this video is over-the-top. But, that's what it took to create hit music back when the Eagles led the way. More than a beat. More than shock-type lyrics. More than hype. If you love music that's sophisticated, yet communicative...lyrics that are honest, emotional and relevant--even today...this is a musical experience you must have! If you are amazed at vocal harmonies that are smooth and creamy, rich and powerful, this is a musical experience you owe yourself. If you demand honest lyrics sung with power and passion, you've hit the mother-lode! I'm not sure now many copies of this DVD are still in existence, but someday you'll wish you owned one of them. I now do.

Awesome concert !! Wish it was longer, meaning there's a few songs, hits, that were left out including my favorite Eagles tune New Kid in Town ,Lying Eyes, and Peaceful Easy Feeling. The Last Resort doesn't belong in a concert setting... period. Okay on with the show, what can I say besides it is the best Eagles concert dvd Ever, at least until they release the complete Wash.DC 1977 concert. The sound is unbelievable and the Eagles don't miss a beat. You could tell they were nervous but they came through in spades. The first part of the show was a little subdued and I think they should have started the show with Take It Easy to loosen up the crowd and themselves but they eventually came around and the end of the show is a pure delight. The band seemed genuinely glad to be back playing together and smiles all around. Kudos to the Eagles. I should confess that I was burned out and tired of the Eagles by the end of The Long Run album, read 70's, I hated it. Now, with the passing of Glen Frey, RIP Glenn, I can't seem to get enough of their music, it really soothes the soul and brings back a lot of good memories. I wish I had the sound system to really appreciate this dvd but whatever you have you will not be disappointed. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did, I'll be replaying this one for years to come.

DTS Surround (1.5Mbps) 音声がかなり良いです。 臨場感があり、音質もCDより良いかもしれません。

i was sitting in my room watching this dvd for about the 4th time this afternoon, and felt compelled to write a review!! i really can't believe that i owned this dvd for about 6 monthes before i got around to watching it because i feel as though i have really missed out!! i am a massive fan of the eagles, and i love both their slower and more upbeat songs, perhaps thats why i wasn't in a hurry to watch this because it is mainly limited to slow to mid tempo songs, HOWEVER that does make it any less thrilling to watch!! the sound quality on the dvd is superb, and the vocal performences are top notch. as usual don henley takes the lead for the most part and his gritty voice is amazing!! there are a few lead vocals by timothy b. schmit(he has an angelic voice) joe walsh, who also has a great distinctive voice, and of course glen frey, who for me has the least 'interesting' voice, but the guy an certainly sing!! oh, and as usual for the eagles, the vocal harmonies are amazing, and you can tell that they are all into what they are doing!! as with the vocals, the music is also superb, they have al obviosuly learnt something over the years, but show that they work best together....joe walsh and don felder spar particularly well together on their guitar solos! as i said the tracks are mainly slower offerings, but are all brilliant, wasted time and i can't tell you why are performed particularly well, as are the two Henley solo offereings, 'the heart of the matter' and 'new york minute'. these two are actually the highlights for me and infact made me go out and buy the Henley abum that they are taken from, although these live versions are actually better i think!! there are several new songs on the dvd, 'love will keep us alive' ad 'get over it'(one of the few 'rockers' on here) are the best!! 'in the city' is also brilliant, as is 'life in the fast lane'. an alternate(almost spanish) version of hotel california is interesting, though not one of the better songs! all in all this a great dvd but one of the best bands ever, and the performence ever dips below excelent!! i strongly recomend this to anyone who is moderatlt interested in the eagles, or just beatfully crafted songs and great musicianship generally!!

Its one of The Eagles best albums. Great live concert in a small TV studio setting. Excellent video and audio.

Probably one of the best concert movies ever released. The second the Eagles open the show with an incredible version of Hotel California (in my opinion, the best version ever recorded), you know you are in for a treat. Any Eagles fan and even casual listeners will enjoy this show, but what makes this DVD unique is the groundbreaking (at the time) DTS surround mixing. If you have a home theater system that you want to show off, this is an absolute must have. The mixing is incredible and makes the experience very unique. It sounds cliche, but with the right sound system you literally (not figuratively) sound like you are surrounded by the musicians. Put this all together with the Eagles notorious aspiration for perfectionism and you have magic. Unfortunately this DVD is showing it's age, visually. While the video quality is not bad, per say, it is recorded in the 4:3 aspect ratio that we have long since forgotten about since the adoption of 1080p. I'm not sure if the original footage was recorded in a format that would allow the remastered release of a full HD Bluray, but it's something I hope for everyday. In the meantime, do yourself a favor and pick this one up while it is still available.

Un superbe concert qui laisse une grande place aux guitares acoustiques des éternels jeunes élégants EAGLES , au mieux de leur forme et qu'on retrouve avec plaisir dans cette prestation apaisée et remarquable!
