Farewell 1 Being Released in Blu Ray

[sodascouts]

I don't blame you, but when that happens so very soon, often you can take it back to the store instead of dealing with the warranty and the manufacturer. Where did you get it?

Best Buy, and I got their geek squad protection, so it's all taken care of and I have a working player now. Still... lame.

Sorry to get off track though.. F1 on Blu Ray is terrific!

Maybe the player just can't handle those hot men?? Maybe you should break it in gently and put in something less...

Oh I do want to see every speck of sweat, every pore and every eyelash!!!..I must get one!!!...glad your player problem got taken care of Nancy!!

It's a huge difference from blu to DVD. That is IF you have all the right equipment and cables. Do your research before you buy.

100%. Get the best HD TV you can. Don't get the cheapest HDMI cables around, better HDMI cables DO make a difference.

It will be well worth the investment, I promise...

I've ordered mine on Amazon.co.uk. It's region free!

We watched some of it last night. I urge everyone to get it. You can practically count Glenn's eyelashes. You can see the texture of Don's drums which before just appeared to be gold. It is great having it on on disc with a pop up menu to select the songs.

The sound is awesome; every instrument can be clearly heard but I must say this. The brass section is far too intrusive especially in the duelling guitar section of Hotel California. I hope if they tour again they ditch it.

I also never liked the horns intro to Hotel California. It just never set right with me. Just start the guitar intro... Having horns in there reminds me too much of Henley's IMO gawd awful version of Hotel California on Inside Job (DVD) where the horns play the guitar solo and it's just not right lol. The monkey sounds put me in a laughing fit... It's painful for me to watch now.

I can attest to that. The HDMI cables, although expensive, really did make a difference!


GA, I'm so glad that you could get the disc in a format that will work in your region!

Since they ditched the horn section after Atlanta/NO Jazz Fest (I can't remember if they were at Jazz Fest), I'd say it's very possible they won't be in the new tour.

I guess I'm going to have to stop at Best Buy or somewhere and get it.

Oh gosh, just the memory of that horrific rendition makes me shudder. How could Henley have thought that removing the guitars from HC was a good idea????

I agree about the F1 version too. The horn intro was an interesting novelty a decade ago, but after the novelty wore off, it stopped doin' it for me.
