Henley Sucks
I thought I have another gold to be added to my dvd concert collection unitl I heard Henley's solo version of HOTEL CALIFORNIA, it was a disaster in the highest intensity, I & my friends nearly died laughing and me , I was so embarrassed because before we played it I keep telling them that somebody wrote in the review that the HC version is worth the dvd (what a fool I was to believe that). How in the world could he allow himself in ruining the national anthem of many of the EAGELS believers!!!I condemn him for doing this!!! Fortunately for Henley he included the EAGLES' In The Long Run, this save his ass!!!....and compare the guitarists that Henley hired to join him here with EAGLES' Don Felder & Joe Walsh, they are 3000 miles away from Hell Freezes Over! Anyhow this is still a good dvd, good song choices and good audio on both DTS and DD, I could have rated it with 5 star but Henley's version of HC took away 2 stars! So come on Don redeem yourself!!!!

Great concert.... average DVD
You all know Henley so I'll spare the career retrospective. This DVD was taped May 25, 2000 at Fair Park Music Hall in Dallas. From the opener of Dirty Laundry through the entire set and closing with Hotel California, this is a great show by a fantastic song writer. Don's voice sounds great on this night and his back-up band is very sharp. Not a lot of talk between songs, but one great tune after another. The other songs include Sunset Grill, Workin' It, Taking You Home, The Boys of Summer, Lilah, Everything is Different Now, The End of the Innocence, All She Wants to Do is Dance, New York Minute, Talking to the Moon, They're Not Here (They're Not Coming), The Heart of the Matter, Desperado, The Long Run, and My Thanksgiving.

That covers the show, now on to the DVD features... well, there really aren't any. The sound quality is excellent and the production is flawless, but no multiple camera angles, no extras, no videos, just a short intro then on to the show. I'm not complaining as the show is fantastic, but if you like whistles and bells look elsewhere. If you love Henley, the Eagles or just great music then you'll still love it.

Henley Fizzles Solo
I love Don Henley but I love him with the Eagles. In this show, once you get past the Nehru jacket, the orange hair & the dark glasses, he barely tries to give anything resembling a performance. He stands there looking smug, virtually saying to his audience 'don't I write great lyrics' and 'I'm a great singer, aren't I'. The appallingly offhand version of The Heart Of The Matter has been swamped by the Eagles' Hell Freezes Over version. What he does to his most famous song, Hotel California, beggars belief. Those legendary gravel-lined vocal chords are no more than adequate. And perhaps this is being petty, but the anonymous band are given two separate credits for a 'Musical Director' and a 'Band Leader', both of which, when Henley is in his rightful place with the Eagles, are handled by someone called G. Frey, without a credit.
