Eagles: Hell Freezes Over (1994)

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

From my favorite movies..

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Blistering performances.

I detect that there are still some issues among the band members. It's a pity, because the Eagles are symbiosis personified. While each of them is a fantastic musician, together, they are unbeatable. The interpersonal relationships still seem a bit strained although they say they've forgiven each other. There was a lot of rancor when they split up 14 years previous and it's still not all gone. However, once they start playing and singing, the result is pure magic. Their voice and guitar work is still without a peer. They covered many of their best songs along with some new material that is just as good, in my opinion. I think I prefer an "electric" Hotel California to the acoustic version that they did, but overall, I'd have to rate the music in this concert as among their best, and that is saying something!

This is, without a doubt, the best concert DVD in my collection. While I only have 13 music titles in my DVD library as of this review; it will take a remarkable concert DVD to match the level of this one. The sound quality of the DTS soundtrack is excellent. The performance by The Eagles is flawless. The image quality could be better, but it is still quite good. Even if you are not a die hard Eagles fan, it is still a worth while purchase for your collection. There is no question that there was a considerable amount of time spent rehearsing for this concert, it shows in so many ways.

I was extremely pleased with this DVD. The Eagles individually and as a group were all excellent and the DTS encoding is outstanding. I have viewed this concert dozens of times and find it to always be fresh and satisfying. The clarity of the video in the DVD format and the DTS encoded sound track are a joy to the eyes and ears. This was my first DTS recorded product and has set a new standard for my expectations. You will not be dissatisfied with this purchase, especially if you have a DTS decoder as part of your audio system. The audio only Seven Bridges Road at the end of the DVD surrounds and penetrates every sense. Find the sweet spot in the room, close your eyes and turn up the volume.

Unparalleled harmonies, monumentally masterful instrumentals and some insight into the hearts, minds and lives of one of rocks most successful bands. Hear and see some of the inspiration for the songs and regrouping of this unique ensemble. If you enjoy Eagles music, this is a must.
