    Eagles: Hell Freezes Over

    I'm sure this has been discussed to death by this point but a friend of mine owns this disc and has no system to play it on. I, on the other hand, have a nice system but don't own and up until Saturday night had never seen or heard this disc in all it's DTS glory or otherwise.

    Let's just say I discovered two things that night. One: This disc deserves all the hype it received. The performances are exceeded only by the sound quality. Two: I have a pretty f'ing good system! The house she was a rockin' 8)

    The one thing that stood out the most for me was the bongo drums. I mean wow those sounded real! 8O If I didn't know any better I would have sworn someone was in the room playing them. :P

    Jason!

    While Eagles was my first musical DVD and indeed I have been one of those whose ranted and raved about it I can`t help but complain about the mix however those bongo drums playing in back of your head in Hotel California 8O ...

    But this DVD is the best one by all means!!!!

    David Glimour and ELO sound pretty sweet too however Oh and Fleetwood Mac...Oh and Peter Frampton Live in Detroit...O.K. O.K I have made my point!!!




    Bam!

      Aud19,

      Better late than never! 8)

      It is a reference disc for sure. And it will let you know how nice your system really is too! :P I'm glad you got a chance to enjoy this one. Now maybe your buddy will feel a little pressure to get with our addiction too. :LOL:

        Oh I've already got him addicted He's just started doing contract work on his own so funds are at a premium but he's planning on starting with a Rotel 1056 and some Energy speakers when he has more $ flow

              Ah yes. Thank you.

              That's one of those DVDs that I've been meaning to pick up, but always slips my mind when I'm in the store.

              Got get that one.

                I agree 100 percent...it would be a wonderful disc without the silly mixing they sometimes used.

                  Agreed, this is an excellent DVD, however I listen to it in Stereo mode as the surround is just not done properly. Not like todays newer DVD-A Multi channels.

                    Eagles New CD?
                    by Foxman
                    Just curious if anyone here has picked up the new Eagles CD and what your thoughts were of it.

                    FYI: If you didn't know, it is only available at Sam's club or Walmart.

                    The title is Long road out of Eden and is a 2 disk set.

                    Here is a copy and paste of a review...

                    Eagles Hell Freezez Over - DVD Video
                    by Adz
                    I have found that the music on DVD Videos is pretty weak (i.e, doesn't sound very good) even if recorded in 5.1. Then I bought James Taylor Live at the Beacon Theatre and was amazed at the sound!!

                    Here is my question. I heard the "Eagles Hell Freezes Over" sounds pretty good...

                    I just watched and listened to this last night. It has a lot of good tracks and performances. Of particular note is "Boys of Summer" and "Sunset Grill", I found those songs to be done particularly well. I actually had to play those tracks a few times afterward...
