Thirty songs, spread out over two discs and well over two and a half hours, with fine performances, great sound, and good visual direction: it's all here on Farewell 1 Tour, a documentary of the Eagles' 2004 concert in Melbourne, Australia. At one point, the veteran band seemed unlikely to even make it to the new millennium, but here they are, mostly intact, with a string of hits dating back more than three decades. The majority of them are performed here, from the earliest ("Take It Easy," "Desperado," "Peaceful Easy Feeling") through "Hotel California" and "Life in the Fast Lane" and right up to "Love Will Keep Us Alive" (from Hell Freezes Over, their most recent recording with new material on it); there are also hits from Glenn Frey, Don Henley, and Joe Walsh's solo careers, and a few new songs as well, including Walsh's "One Day at a Time" (an earnest ode to his new-found sobriety) and "Hole in the World," Frey and Henley's moving, almost gospel-tinged reaction to the events of 9/11/01. Guitarist Don Felder, who split acrimoniously with the band in 2001, isn't much missed, as replacement Steuart Smith plays the parts just as Felder did--i.e., pretty much exactly as they were recorded (indeed, pristine recreations of the studio versions of their songs has always been a hallmark of the Eagles' live shows). As for the somewhat cheeky title, well, there's always been a certain smugness to the Eagles' sense of humor, and it's no different this time, as Frey doesn't even pretend that there won't be a Farewell 2 Tour in the future. And why not? These are good songs, played beautifully by the quartet (plus supplemental musicians) to audiences that love them. Bonus material is limited to perfunctory interviews with the band. --Sam Graham

 A Great DVD Worth Every Penny Spent December 22, 2008
Paul Hahn
If there ever was a DVD worth getting, trust me this is it, 120%. As bad as Foreigner's Deer Creek is, p.s. I threw that in the garbage, I plat this Eagles one regularly because it is such a terrific DVD, it feels like your in the audience listening to them live. Need I say more. If I could give it 10 stars I would!!!!!!!
A Must for any music fan December 16, 2008
Brian Y (Saskatoon Saskatchewan Canada)
I bought this DVD because I have always wanted to see the Eagles in concert. I was not disappointed. This concert video is like being there.
The sound is awesome, the music is exactly as you remember it note for note and the camera work compliments the music beautifully.
I have watched this collection several times and have recommended it to several friends.
AWESOME!! October 23, 2008

 BUYER BEWARE: Not worth purchasing if you don't have DTS May 1, 2008
Brian C. Grindrod (Montreal, Canada)
I'm not throwing any rocks and stones at the band. Their performance is top notch and the song selection is a true representation of their best. Perhaps Witchy Woman should have formed part of the set but only they know why it was not included.
My main gripe about this purchase is that we are not offered a Dolby 5.1 surround sound track. The fine folks at Warner Music Vision & ERC have decided that if you do not possess a DTS system, you will be punished by being forced to listen to the DVD in 'glorious' PCM (2-channel speaker) stereo.
Is there a legit reason why there is no Dolby 5.1 surround sound track?
This is a true sign of disrespect towards not only the fans of The Eagles but to all consumers.

Very well done! March 27, 2008
K.S. (Canada)
I grew up hearing this music at "gatherings" my parents and their friends would have on occasion. And of course have heard their music on radio etc. Upon reading some of the reviews I decided this would be a great DVD for my collection. I can tell you this, I wasn't disappointed. It continues to be one of the most frequently watched concerts I have. Great sound a visual!
