The Eagles: Farewell Live From Melbourne Blu-ray

Finally.

I have this on HD-DVD and have been waiting for its release on Blu-Ray.

Day 1 purchase for me.

LMN8R · 01-28-2013, 06:11 PM

Definite buy for me. I have it on standard DVD and the PQ/AQ are top notch. This in lossless audio should be epic.

kopkiwi · 01-28-2013, 06:44 PM

Been waiting years for this. Day one without second thought.

meremortal · 01-28-2013, 06:51 PM

Still have 2 copies (found another cheap) on HD DVD, but I'd rather just dump that format completely and replace with blus at this point.

+1. Gonna play my DVD just for old-time sake!

shawz0311 · 01-28-2013, 07:06 PM

Think I'll pick this up as well. Trying to add some concerts to my collection as of late, and think it will make a fine addition.

Arkadin · 01-28-2013, 07:27 PM

I guess the next concert disc will be called "Already Gone"

darkpoet25 · 01-28-2013, 08:51 PM

Look forward to seeing this for the first time. Should be well worth it.

Blueherring · 01-28-2013, 09:33 PM

Does anyone know if this will be region free? I am in region B.
I actually was at this exact concert that is shown on this blu, bought the dvd day one when it came out, be nice to upgrade to Blu.

LMN8R · 01-28-2013, 09:44 PM

I pre-ordered today.

This will see a lot of play at my house.

According to the pre-order link on Amazon it's listed as Region A. That's Amazon in the US, maybe in the UK or Germany it might be Region B.

That's exactly what I did two weeks ago. This concert was the last HD DVD I had. I pre-ordered the BR, and sold my HD DVD copy and my HD DVD player within the next two days! It's really a great concert. The video/audio should be stellar! Can't wait!

dragion · 01-29-2013, 01:40 AM

Don't see a reason to buy this until my HD DVD is truly unplayable...I still have 3 HD DVD players. Until they are non-functional, then the blu-ray version will be part of my library.
I just recently got my hands on a like new Toshiba XA2 player and finally got to listened to the DTS-MA audio...amazing!
The lossy DTS & the stereo PCM is actually pretty well done too.

Love this concert!

3Stooges · 01-29-2013, 03:44 AM

Day one for me. Ready to retire my DVD of this fabulous show.

I also expect we may see some more Eagles this year on Blu.

It's the band's 40th anniversary year
The band is gearing up for a major tour & is looking to bring back a former member or two (rumored Bernie Leadon)
Showtime is releasing a high-profile documentary on the band later this year
Henley has a new solo album dropping in May

shamus · 01-29-2013, 10:54 AM

is this as good as hell freezes over?

IMO, yes....and no....HFO is 1.33:1 aspect ratio, but, it includes Don Felder on guitar. He and the rest parted ways and he's not on the Melbourne show. However, the guitarist on the Melbourne disc is fantastic. The lossy DTS audio on HFO is excellent. Melbourne fills all the pixels and will have lossless audio with a great selection of songs, including solo offerings from Henley, Walsh, etc. Hope this helps?

Personally I prefer the Farewell Tour show. It still gets more play at my house than any of my concert blu-rays, and I have quite a few. To me it is more of a "rock concert". I'm a big Joe Walsh fan it has a lot of his solo work and a James Gang song as well. Has some of Don Henley's solo work as well. IMO the Hell Freezes Over disk is more laid back and "intimate", the Farewell Tour "rocks".
They both sound great.
