Here is a world and essential issue, the new Eagles dvd. So, as usually
with this band, we are always close to perfection (it is quite too
clean !!), and this show, recorded in Australia in November 2004,
offers us 29 songs (on 2 dvds), all this songs being big hits that
the Eagles created in their long career. They begin this the great
'The Long Run', that is a good one to start such a show. Songs such
as 'I can't Tell You Why', 'Love will keep us Alive', etc… are very
perfect for the quality of the interpretation of Timothy B. Schmit,
Glenn Frey, Don Henley and Joe Walsh (The Eagles today), and we can
appreciate the really good versions of 'All Ready Gone', 'Take it
to the Limit' and 'Hotel California' (obviously) too. It is important
to note the presence and the quality of the other musicians, the two
keyboardists Will Hollis and Michael Thomson, the drummer Scott Drago
and especially the wonderful guitarist Stuart Smith that makes a real
extraordinary work, especially on some choruses and guitar parts.
What can we say more about this so famous issue, maybe I can tell
that 'Heartache Tonight', 'Take it Easy', 'Desperado' and especially
the really moving 'Hole in the World' are my favourite songs, but
they are in a so high level that my tastes are not really important
