Re: Celebration of "Hell Freezes Over"!
HFO has a special place in my heart. It was the reason I really got into the Eagles. As a High School kid, I fell in love with them during the VH1 showing of HFO, along with all the Eagles Family Tree stuff they showed, like the Don Kirshner stuff, and the South of Sunset marathon.
Then that was the first concert I saw, getting to see the live HFO tour.
Best moment was after seeing HFO on tv, I was expecting to never get to hear the original Hotel California. Talk about super pumped when the spot light came on, to DF playing the double neck...Great moment!!!
I really wish that next year for the 25th Anniversary they do one of the following
1. 3 CD set HFO 25th Anniversary + 2 Disc HFO Live tour (the HC release gives me hope)
2. 1 CD + DVD, 25th Anniversary HFO cd + Live HFO Tour Concert Video. (The Glenn Frey set coming out gives me hope for this)

Lol the last hopeful paragraph
They will give us nothing. Because that's the Eagles for you. They have recorded every HFO show (obviously including both nights of the Burbank show) and still do to this present day. They even remastered some (like 1994 Giants Stadium, Dublin 1996, etc.) But nope, that's that. We will never get any again. I am 120% sure. Henley claiming there is nothing in the vault, all that is bull****. Such lying, especially when all of us want more. Heck they even apparently planned to release 1994 Irvine and 1999 Los Angeles, but nope, classic Eagles, not releasing stuff.
(Quite OT, sorry) Tbh, the Hotel 40th Anniversary release is pretty lame. Why can't they give something worthwhile for once?? We (okay maybe not everyone, but still). Don't. Want. Forum. 76. Again and again. And please. No overdubbing. They did it for the new release yet freaking again. They could've released to us: 1977 Nassau (Try and FREAKING Love Again was there!), 1977 Alpine Valley, 1977 London (April 28th had an orchestra apparently!)
Here's a thing Henley and Azoff. If you want us to stop bootlegging, RELEASE STUFF.
Re: Celebration of "Hell Freezes Over"!
Happy 24th Birthday to the Hell Freezes Over special airing on MTV.
Re: Celebration of "Hell Freezes Over"!
The special that started it all back up again!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HELL FREEZES OVER TV PROGRAM!
Re: Celebration of "Hell Freezes Over"!
Wow, 24 years ! I remember how excited everyone was. I wish they would release an "Official day two" of the show. From what I have heard, it seems better than day one.
Re: Celebration of "Hell Freezes Over"!
We were soooooo excited to see them back together and on tv! Didn't have the money to go to a show on the tour though. Our kids teenage years!
Re: Celebration of "Hell Freezes Over"!
Yep - there will be lots of HFO events to celebrate in November. I never made it to a HFO concert either and it is one of my biggest regrets because it's the first time I ever actually tried to go to a show. I regret not going to a show back in the 70's as well, but not quite as much as HFO, because it was not even a possibility for me back then since I was dirt poor. However, with HFO, I tried my best to get to a show, but I was traveling full-time for work in the 90's and I just never could sync up schedule to match theirs. Oh well - I tried to make up for it starting in 2003 so I can complain (but sometimes I still do). :ziplip:
Re: Celebration of "Hell Freezes Over"!
The HFO era was my teenage years so I definitely wasn't able to go especially with my mother being very strict with me listening anything that's not black music and (long story, but I'm just glad I listen to different genres).
I fell in love with the Eagles back then and then stopped listening to them into the millennium, but I only had a few of their songs on my MP3 player between 2000-2013.
Re: Celebration of "Hell Freezes Over"!
Shun, my parents were strict too - only it was no non-Christian concerts at all!
I enjoyed watching the Hell Freezes Over concert on television, but it never even occurred to me to actually go to a show myself.
My, how things have changed!
Re: Celebration of "Hell Freezes Over"!
I should had said my mother wouldn't allow me to go to "white artist" concerts. Yeah. My mother was that strict. I actually was listening to other genres around the time the Eagles got back together, I just couldn't go to certain concerts. When I was in high school and I was starting to listen to other genres, I was ashamed to say I listen to other genres that wasn't R&B or rap. That has changed thank goodness.
