Don Henley: [before starting "The Heart of the Matter"] Thank you. This next tune is a tune off my last solo album.
[crowd cheers]
Don Henley: Wrote this Mr. Mike Campbell and our good friend J. D. Souther. Who, as you know, wrote a lot of the Eagles tunes with us. It took, uh, 42 years to write and about 4 minutes to sing, so...

Featured review
The Eagles are back in fine form, but lack enthusiasm
Well the Eagles got back together in 1994. So what? Big deal? Well the big deal is that this is one of those reunions we thought would NEVER happen. The truth of the matter is, the Eagles are a fantastic group of performers. Each member in his own right can stand alone with their own solo work. But you put the five of them together, and they create an amazing sound.
This show, as a whole, would satisfy any Eagles fan. What it doesn't do, however, is appeal to those Non-Eagles fans. Quite simply, the show doesn't "ROCK" enough. Don't get me wrong, I consider myself an Eagles fan. Yet, I was somewhat disappointed by this DVD. Too many of the groups slow ballads drown this show in depression.
Secondly, the members don't seem to be enjoying themselves on-stage in the least bit. The bands' chops seem to be up, and they play perfectly, but the tunes just lack any emotion. It comes across as if they are just going through the motions. One might even say that this reunion may have been done only for the money. And if you want to deny that would-be-fact, ask yourself where have the Eagles been since 94'...?
Any ways, it's a decent show. A solid 8 out of 10. If anything, it makes the grade for the musicianship alone.
