Farewell Concert

Starring:Cream
Studio: Image Entertainment
Product Type: DVD

Amazon.com

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

Description

Without doubt, the Eagles are one of the all-time biggest acts in popular music since the dawn of the rock'n'roll era. The band's roots go back to their role as defining artists in the phenomenally popular Southern California rock scene of the '70s, a decade in which they delivered four consecutive #1 albums. Their momentous 2004 farewell tour filled stadiums around the world, and this 2-DVD set captures one of the most stellar events from that now-historic global sweep. Track Listings: Disc 1: Long Run, New Kid in Town, Wasted Time, Peaceful Easy Feeling, I Can't Tell You Why, One of These Nights, One Day At A Time (New Track), Lyin' Eyes, Boys of Summer, In The City, Already Gone, Tequila Sunrise, Love Will Keep Us Alive, No More Cloudy Days (New Track), Hole In the World, Take It To the Limit, Disc 2: You Belong to the City, Walk Away, Sunset Grill, Life's Been Good, Dirty Laundry, Funk #49, Heartache Tonight, Life in the Fast Lane, Hotel California, Rocky Mountain Way, All She Wants To Do Is Dance, Take It Easy, Desperado

Customer Reviews:

Great concert.......2007-06-05

Pop this baby in your DVD player and turn on the DTS. This is a great concert all around, these guys can still play and sing. Watch for many of their classic songs such as New Kid In Town and Desperado, as well as some new ones.

The real treat though is the sound, the harmonies are crisp, and the music is very clear. Bring on Farewell II!

Awesome.......2007-05-21

In my opinion, the Eagles are the best band ever, and these DVDs are incredible. Well worth the money. Wish I could have been at the concert.

Lets hope this is the first of MANY farewells yet..........2007-05-15

A fabulous documentation of The Eagles much heralded Farewell I Tour of 2003, from the performance in Melbourne, Australia, the generous 2 Disc set includes a great amount of Eagle classics and favourites, 2 exceptional new tracks from their upcoming 2007 studio album, and a thrilling assortment of the best of each respective member's solo work from the 70s-90s. The Eagles are in fine vocal form, showcasing the famous four-part harmonies that graced some of their best recordings. The performances, instrumentally, are extremely impressive, and the extra muscle of the newly added four-man brass section adds an amazing new flavor to the group's classic sound. The picture and audio quality are all first rate, and one can only hope that this is a first in a long series of live sets available in the next decade of Eagle music.

A farewell tour that says a forever "hello"! .......2007-05-13

Ease back and get comfortable. This is going to blow you right out of your doldrums and into a new attitude for life, love, and music. This is a consummate piece of music that will fill your whole being. Fun, Fantastic, and Forever music by the Eagles. Their whole jive is a gift to all of us. From their oldest classics of the 1972 vintage right up to their newest release, this is a tribute to all of us. We can share their music, their souls, and their gifted talents with harmony of mind, spirit, and heart. I can only give the most heartedly recommendation of this release to your music collection. It is pure. It is like having the first taste of mountain spring water after a walk in the desert of sound.. this is music. Clean, clear, and a passage to places only your heart can lead you. Buy it. Best thing you can do!

One of the greatest rock bands now on HD DVD........2007-06-28

The Eagles are one of my favorite rock bands. I was never fortunate enough to enjoy their music in person but this HD DVD brings me pretty close to that experience. I was tempted to get the DVD version some months ago but glad I held out. The classics are all here - Tequila Sunrise, Love Will Keep Us Alive, You Belong To The City, Dirty Laundry, Hotel California, Desperado, etc. The Audio/Video recording is superb and the Menu organizes the songs/chapters very well. This has got to be one of the best concert HD DVDs out there. A perfect way to show off your home theater.

The Eagles Are Better Than Ever.......2007-05-31

An excellent concert & to be enjoyed in HD is another plus. The Eagles actually seem better in their old age now. It must be maturity. Although, the HD DVD did not have camera angle shots as an added bonus, it was still produced well & is an excellent item for the DVD library.

Did not work.......2007-05-15

I bought this specifcally because it said HD DVD. It was a gift for my mother and she owns a HD dvd player. It not only did not work in the HD DVD but on none of the other 5 DVD players we tried.

ABOVE AND BEYOND HELL FREzZES OVER!.......2007-05-14

After watching and listening to " Hell frezzes over" the standard in audio-video, concert watching and superstars jamming has been changed forever.
You know what I am talking about...however with the "Farewell tour" is just keep rising the bar...how high can it go?
Well the eagles have been rising even higher. Their wings have no knowledge of getting tired...they can push higher and higher...
On the recording part (audio and video) the HD shines in every aspect.
Boy I love HD! And of course I love Eagles! Nice symbiosis between the two!

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-05-14

We were not Eagles fans when they (and we) were younger, but after listening to this concert many times we definitely are now! It's 2 hours and 40 minutes long and they sound great on every song. Both the audio and the video are fantastic.

If her 2002 tour really was her last--and after being "an evil frickin' diva for 40 frickin' years," as she puts it, she just might mean it--Cher has definitely left us something to remember her by. In the course of this 92-minute concert (plus loads of extra features), she wears enough different costumes and wigs to outfit a small (if rather odd) town, surrounds herself with dancers and acrobats galore, shows clips from her old TV series, and even plays all the roles in a delightful mini-version of West Side Story (one of the extras). Oh, and she sings too, covering everything from the Sonny & Cher years to her early solo career and her renaissance as a disco diva via "Believe." Bottom line: The Farewell Tour is a dynamic, sometimes silly, always entertaining show. As Cher herself notes, Britney, J-Lo, and all the others have a tough act to follow. --Sam Graham

THE CLARK SISTERS.......2007-07-02

This DVD may not be the CD recording but its a good concert. Anyways just like the other person said they mentioned that the DVD was recorded in Nashville in March 2007. So overall it's a pretty good concert and They bring on the DVD Clark Sister Dance moves just like how they use to do back in the day. This was A Great DVD, and I would get the DVD

Good...But wish Houston was on DVD!!.......2007-06-21

Okay, I was at the Houston recording and it was PHENOMINAL!! If you are a real supporter and keep up with The Clarks ministry, you would have known that they recorded a DVD recording in February in Nashville because Houston would not be released on DVD. After the recording, the concert aired on Gospel Music Channel (GMC) and it was Front Row Live. No, the DVD is nothing like Houston, but it is still good. So in my eyes, the DVD is not garbage or bad. The girls have some other things coming out later this year. They are going on a 25 city tour in October, so be happy about that. They have so much going on. I guess many are upset because they did not know HOUSTON wasn't going to be released. But many supporters KNEW what the deal was, and what was being released. I because I'm a Clark fan, and support their endeavors, I will get the DVD!! Jacky did great on the DVD!! So lets quit whinning, and just SUPPORT!!

Disappointed.......2007-06-21

I pre-ordered this DVD and I'll NEVER do that again. Next time I'll wait and read some reviews. This is a major disappointment. If you're going to have a dvd to correspond with a cd, at least make the dvd the SAME performance or BETTER than the original. This is not even on par with the original. :(

LET'S START A PETITION!.......2007-06-21

Look everyone who is reading this we all know that this DVD is horrible and not what some of us expected or wanted. We do know that this The actual recording was put on video because there have been 1 or 2 clips shown on various gospel shows, so with that in mind we should all flood EMI GOSPEL'S Mailbox requesting that they work out whatever the problem may be with the original video and put it to DVD I think we as the fans of the Clarks deserve it.

Highly Disappointed, but it is The Clark Sisters.......2007-06-20

Just like everyone else, I thought that the DVD was the live recording of The Clark Sisters. The ladies did sing well, however, everyone but Karen did not put enough emphasis and enthusiasm into their singing as they did with the CD performance. The DVD also did not have all of the songs that were on the CD. For example, "Save my Soul, World, My Reedemer, and others. Futhermore, Twinkie did seem disinterested and was sitting down at the organ with her fingers on the keys but was not playing anything!!! How strange? Anyways, I am one of The Clark Sisters' biggest fans, so I would recommend buying the DVD because they will always have the voice. Unfortunately, I really wish that everyone would have taken inspiration from Karen and really allowed they spirit to move in the building.

What a setting for a live concert, the steps of the Sydney opera house with 120,000 lively fans in attendance. As others have said, the musical performance is stunning. Compliments must also go to everyone involved in the production - the sound is to die for, the cameras give every performer his due in sharp focus, the staging and colors are eye-candy. This is one of those things that gets better with each viewing. One of the best performance videos I've seen.

Is there a set list somewhere???.......2007-05-01

How does the dvd compare with the 2 cd set? Are there songs on one and not the other?

One Of The Best Live Recordings Ever!.......2007-04-22

Recorded in 1996 at the Sydney Opera House plaza, "Crowded House" plays their farewell concert to an appreciative crowd of over 120,000. The 24-song set contains amazingly pure and tight sound with Neil Finn's voice at its best. There are no stand-out cuts, as the band gives it best performance to date on every track. It is flawless. The comments from the band to the audience between songs makes this one of the most personable concerts ever recorded. Slight variations on some songs and an accent here and there make the fans sing along throughout. The closing song, "Don't Dream its Over" is as emotional as ever, with shots of the crowd signing along and the band emoting, realizing this really is their last song together. It's one of the best concerts of the last two decades.

The extras include an optional commentary by the band in subtitles. The second disc has a 20-minute documentary about the enormous planning it took to stage this event, mostly narrated by the band's manager. Also included are a few featurettes, a photo gallery and the full "Crowded House" discography. This is one of those collectable packages that you'll never tire of.

A piece of magic.......2007-02-20

I remember the first concert vividly, beamed into the homes of all us Aussies. Crowded House was one of the greatest bands to ever come from our shores (and thanks to the Kiwis just a little bit too!). This concert really was the band probably at their finest, loosened from the shackles of internal conflicts and turmoils that precipitated the need for a break, which at the time we thought was permanent. I had this on VHS as soon as it came out and so with great pleasure do I get to crack this open and relive the memories yet again. The cd is fantastic also but if you get a chance to sit and absorb just how good this band was, it is certainly worth the watch. Great memories all around.

Tina Turner - One last time : Live in concert.......2007-04-12

An absolutely brilliant and entertaining concert by Tina.
Her best show ever, without a doubt.
Her energy and vitality are incredible, and the way she goes out into the audience on a crane to perform Nutbush is amazing.
An absolute "must have concert" for anybody, not just fans.
Truly entertaining and enthralling by a real legend of the entertainment industry.

Tina - One Last Time.......2007-02-06

I was actually replacing this dvd and it is one of the most spectacular shows ever. After seeing it again I realized Tina could have done without those dancers for the majority of the show as I found them a bit annoying except for "Proud Mary". Other's have mentioned that other Tina concerts have never seen the light of day on dvd such as, "Break Every Rule", (fantastic!), "Live In Barcelona" and "What's Love Live". Another complaint is "Simply The Best" video collection which used concert footage for "Typical Male" and "We Don't Need Another Hero". They also continue to ignore the video for "One Of The Living" and is never included on any of Tina's "Greatest Hits" compilations. Capitol/EMI need to update her video collection as so much has come out since and correct their poor choice of material. I am grateful for the Tina shows but, do it right!

Tina rocks Wembley.......2007-01-10

This DVD is fantastic! Tina, the band, the girls, and the crowd absolutely made me feel that I was there with them. I saw this concert in Chicago and I found this DVD to be "simply the best!"

The DVD is a big improvement over the awful video release........2006-09-02

I caught Tina Turner's final tour twice (in Houston). The concert was spectacular. I bought the video as soon as it was released to relive the excitment of Turner, the band, the backup singers, the dancers, and the fireworks special effects. The video was filmed in London. I believe it was supposed to be the last performance on the tour. On the video you get to see the faces of about a dozen audience members standing near the front of the stage. The camera editing includes these audience members in adoring close ups seemingly every 15 seconds. I don't know about you, but I'd rather watch what's happening on stage. No stars for the video.

I recently rented this DVD to see if any changes had been made in the editing. YES! They reduced the adoring fan close ups to a minimum and keep the camera's focused on the stage.

My biggest complaint is the editing of the "Nutbush" finale. At the live concert, you think you've seen it all after the "Proud Mary" number that includes some impressive surprise fireworks. Then the stage goes black and silent for a few seconds only to burst out in blinding lights with a rousing encore of Tina belting out "Nutbush." Had you actually been at the concert you would have experienced the spectacle of the entire stage front transforming into a huge narrow crane that had been hidden for the entire concert. Tina struts up the arm of the crane as it lifts her WAY OUT over the audience. The DVD and the tape have cut this event into so many shots that its not clear where the crane came from and how Tina appeared in it.

The DVD is no substitue for the real thing but it brought back some memories of the best concert I've attended.

I don't understand why people are saying the sound or picture is bad,as I find it to be truly amazing.I now play it in my new Toshiba HD DVD player,and this new player enhances the picture and sound so it looks and sounds amazing in 5.1 surround sound coming out of my Bose speakers.I think she chose a great place to have this concert filmed before 80,000 fans who looked like they were having a great time.She draws people of all ages as you can see from the crowd shots.If Tina ever does another concert in her future,I hope she plays in the NEW Wembley Stadium and shows everyone she is still HOTT even in her 60's.You go TINA,you are still the Queen of Rock!!!

This moving, absorbing documentary is about the making of singer-songwriter Warren Zevon's final CD, the much-admired, star-studded The Wind. But more than that, it's about the final year of Zevon's life, and the way he approached what he called his "imminent demise" (which came in September '03). Zevon surely didn't plan on dying of lung cancer (although given his wry, sly, subversive sense of humor, he probably saw it as a good career move). But when doctors gave him the word, he became driven by an intense desire, and then urgency, to finish the music and leave a lasting farewell before his final goodbye; and he did, with the help of Bruce Springsteen, members of the Eagles, Ry Cooder, and others. Zevon is without self-pity; he knows what's coming, he's dealing with it, and in the process, an artist who'd always been preoccupied with death in his songs wrote some of his best when faced with his own mortality. Add to that a generous helping of bonus material (videos of two songs from The Wind, with Springsteen on "Disorder in the House"; interviews, home movies, excerpts from the sessions), and you've gotta figure Zevon himself would be pleased. --Sam Graham

Good-Bye My Friend.......2007-05-12

A heart-felt tribute to a man so far ahead of his peers it's scary. His kind come among us far too seldomly. This planet is better becaused he crossed our path. It hurts to watch it.

A Nice Send-Off for Warren.......2007-01-03

This is well worth watching for any Zevon fan. I wish there was more of the appearance on Letterman however. Anyway, I found it interesting, funny and sad.

A bittersweet look at Warren Zevon's last days..........2006-08-27

You don't have to be a big fan of Warren Zevon - although I am - to enjoy this poignant look at his final days, as he records his brilliant final album. His visit from Bruce Springsteen, and to David Letterman's "Late Show," are particularly moving.

Good Times.......2005-03-10

The late Warren Zevon was the Grim Reaper's personal poet laureate and court jester throughout his long career. Hard to believe that only one of these songs (as far as I know) was written after he learned of his diagnosis. Son Jordan and longtime producer/cowriter/bassist Jorge Calderon assembled many of Zevon's closest collaborators, sidemen, cronies and admirers for a romp through both the sardonic, gallows-humor pieces he was famous for, but also the vulnerable, emotionally raw ballads he was equally adept at writing and delivering.

Zevon liked singing actors for their ability to deliver the emotional content of a song, so he'd be pleased by Sandler's surprisingly muscular

Beautiful.......2005-01-16

VH1 (Inside) Out is great.

Every Warren Zevon fan, and even if you are not a fan, will love it.

Fade to Black is a document of Jay-Z's self-proclaimed final concert; a grand affair that took place before a sold-out crowd at New York's Madison Square Garden in November 2003. (But anyone who follows celebrity news knows that Jay-Z was out of retirement and back performing at the Garden just a year later.) Fade to Black is a legitimately powerful record of a truly historic event in the annals of rap. Muttering offhand narration with typical bored, streetwise affect, Jay hails the concert as a momentous occasion for being the first time a hip-hop show was allowed to headline at the Garden.

It's unlikely that the full impact of the live performances will hit home to viewers unfamiliar with Jay-Z and his Roc-A-Fella Records stable of artists. Another frustration is trying to identify the array of visitors who trade raps on Jay's stage. Included in the star-studded lineup are Missy Elliott, Foxy Brown, Pharell, Ghostface Killah, Beanie Sigel, Memphis Bleek, and R. Kelly. One unmistakable figure--and we do mean figure--is Jay's squeeze Beyonce, who raises the temperature and the roof with her skimpy outfit, flowing hair, soulful yowl, and sexed-up dance routine that leaves her boyfriend and the whole of Madison Square Garden slack-jawed with animal desire.

Twenty cameras captured the event, and some of the most powerful sequences are sweeping moves across the swirling, blissed-out masses as they lip sync along in perfect unison with Jay-Z's complex, profane, quick-witted raps. Less effective are intermittent cutaway segments that show the artist in various studio settings working up beats and rhymes. These amateurish home video breaks may give some insight to Jay's perfectionism and dedication to his craft, but they detract from the visceral power of the beautifully executed performance footage. --Ted Fry

My Inspiration.......2007-06-05

This film shows Sean Carter is the most positive light. I see a man with a strong work ethic and so much drive. He's hungry for success and he never settles for anything. He always aims higher. I think I enjoyed the studio footage more than the actually concert footage. Much love goes out to Jay Z and his production crew!

An Authentic Peek.......2007-05-29

I recently began seeking out hip-hop documentaries after watching Jin's No Sleep Till Shanghai. I was pretty skeptical though as to how much a superstar like Jay-Z would be willing to show. It's actually a much more insightful doc than I expected, in terms of understanding the music process. I was surprised how much, and sometimes how little, effort goes into making an album, especially for an artist of Jay's stature. Of course, Fade to Black can also be enjoyed simply for its concert footage, which makes this an excellent film overall.

It is what it is...........2007-05-14

What more can I say?... It's Hova baby.... The concert footage is hot... The studio footage showing the many producers he worked with in creating the Black Album was hotter... Only one reason for falling short of five stars... It wasn't long enough...

"The Last Waltz" of Hip-Hop.......2007-01-08

Jay is one of the few hip-hop artists who can not only fill the seats at the Garden, but play to an audience that large as well. There are tons of guest appearances here and they are universally strong. Even potentially mismatched performances such as Beyonce's appearance work extremely well. The behind the scenes footage of Jay in the studio is riveting. He has a soft, almost hoarse speaking voice yet a powerful voice on the microphone. Like his contemporary Biggie Smalls, he listens to beats with a frighteningly focused intensity and then writes and records all from memory. Some scenes, like when Jay visits Rick Rubin and spits an entirely new verse to the Public Enemy classic "Welcome To The Terrordome" are alone worth the price of admission.

The picture quality of this DVD transfer is decent, though not stunning. Saturation is pushed a little high and the transfer can appear a bit soft at times. The audio track is a well executed surround mix that really captures the acoustics of the Garden. Audio and video sync appears to be quite good.

This is one of the great hip-hop DVDs. Highly recommended.

Jay-Z in My Lifetime.......2006-07-29

From begining till the ending rolls, Shawn Carter has done the wittest and most meticulous work to promote his The Black Album in 2003. Well maintained!
