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

 Why I Am An Eagle's Fan October 19, 2008
The DVD helped bring back some wonderful sounds that I grew up with. I would highly recommend it to all those who love their music and presence of stage.....and to anyone else who appreciates great music.
THE EAGLES, "GREAT" September 30, 2008
This is as good as it gets. It shows the progression of a great band. One of the best concert recordings I have ever seen. It has all the energy, all the magic of a live performance. They have taken all their tunes and and performed at new level, the arrangements are amazing. This is a must have for any Eagles fan.
I just wish they had a CD version I could listen to in the car.....
Eagles Farewell Tour - Buy It! September 15, 2008
If you are an avid Eagles fan like I am, this is a must buy for your home entertainment needs. Compared with most live concert DVD's, this DVD is masterfully recorded from the audio to the video. If you are a collector, this is a must buy for the money. 5-stars and well worth it.
Simply a must have September 13, 2008
I was very very happy with this dvd, I just wish they had it on blu ray. I love the fact that they really pack a lot of music in on this 2 dvd set and extras as well. A must have for any eagles fan!!!
Wow. America's Greatest. September 5, 2008
The Eagles in concert live or on a DVD are simply amazing. The sounds of Don Henley and Glenn Frey are so distinctive and with the amzing guitar leadership of funny guy Joe Walsh and a very talented Steuart Smith makes this a very special album. And let us not forget Timothy B. Schmit on bass. Phenomenal.
