Movie Reviews of Eagles: Farewell 1 Tour - Live From Melbourne [HD DVD]Movie Review: BLOWN AWAY GOOD! Summary: 5 Stars
OK, so let's talk about the MUSIC and the performance on this Eagles concert HD-DVD. NOTHING BUT AWESOME! Just what I'd expect from these boys.
Twenty-five, or so, songs, performed live with studio-quality sound perfection and singular performances by each and every member of this beloved American band! The HD-DVD cinematography, lighting, and color is beautiful - almost better than being there.
Pretty much all of the songs you remember and love the eagles for; ya know - Hotel California, Tequilla Sunrise, Take it Easy, .... etc. Some new stuff as well. Joe Walsh sings a good new upbeat tune about zoning through his earlier life due to alcohol. Lots of fun, big excited audience, great horn section, superb backup drummer, guitarist, keyboards.
My only complaint is about the direction with respect to guitar playing - I really wanted to see more about how Walsh and their other awesome guy (don't know his name) made those awesome sounds. Oh well.
Now, about HD-DVD players: I got the XBox 360 HD-DVD add-on. It was sub-standard, IMO. I returned it and got the real deal Toshiba stand-alone HD-DVD player with the independent analog audio inputs (you've got to get the analog surround inputs if you want to really experience HD-DVD sound on the recent Toshiba players). So get real and get a dedicated HD-DVD player and CHECK OUT THOSE EAGLES!
I have a 100" screen front projection HD projector, 1200 Watt pioneer sound box, and about $3000 worth of full size 7.1 surround speakers. It rally gets me in the "zone." But you don't need this much equipment to enjoy this great Eagles HD-DVD - just a dedicated HD-DVD player. BTW, if you love music, only the HD-DVD standard REQUIRES technically superior sound on each and every HD-DVD released - not so on Blu-Ray. So go HD-DVD.
