Wow! What a title. Let me explain. In 2007, I borrowed a DVD of this from my musically-inclined Uncle thinking I just wanted to listen to Hotel California since I saw this version on TV and loved it. I didn't know I would fall in love with this band. And when I say fall in love with this band, I meant fell hard! It was the first time I heard how a band should sound like. The harmonies are perfect, the musical embellishments they add to their old songs to reinvent it made this concert a must see for music lovers.
As a background, I exclusively listened to Rock before discovering this gem. When I watched this, it made me realize that there is more to music than just rock and roll. This made me realize that music is music no matter what genre you enjoy. The Eagles set that bar for me. From then on, I would watch live sets of bands and artists I am interested in and judge them according to their live performances.
Few final words. If you enjoy smooth harmonies, old rockstars showing off their musical talents, reinvented old songs then this concert is for you. The documentary gives these artists humanity.
If you are still not convinced, check these songs in this concert and compare them to their original, studio version and you'll know what I'm talking about:
Hotel California
Lying Eyes
Heartache Tonight
Already Gone
New Kid in Town.
