Release a DVD of the 70's

[Elizasong]

I don't know if this has been discussed but I wish they would release a full DVD of the Eagles in concert in the 70's. I have the '77 concert that came with the greatest hits and that's very cool but I'm sure they have more that they could release and probably make a bundle off of. I'm sure as artists it's probably hard to pick one where at one point or another they are not cringing at something. I think there is a whole new audience who didn't get to see them in their hey day who would appreciate it.

They didn't film all their shows back in the day. As we discussed in this thread (https://www.eaglesonlinecentral.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4880), the concerts from that period were not filmed by the band (with the exception of the Washington DC 1977 show and the studio stuff), so it's more complicated than just the band deciding whether or not to release them.

I would love to see more of their concerts from the 70s because I was not born any where near that time. Too bad they can't release some. Oh well.... a girl can dream.:hilarious:

[Elizasong]

Ah, thanks for clarifying Soda. That makes sense.

[Freypower]

I would rather have something more recent; a DVD/Blu Ray of the HOTE tour.

I'd love an HOTE DVD too but I'd LOVE LOVE more stuff from the 70s with Don Felder and Joe Walsh together...

[Midnight Visitor]

Geez, does anyone know if they've filmed any of the current shows? Maybe they'll do so in Europe. I think it would be insane not to document the current tour. Especially because of Bernie and the history aspect of it.

And yes(!) I wish more stuff would come out from the 70's.

If they do release from the current tour, and I hope they do, I hope they do like LZ did for Celebration Day, a DVD and an audio CD. While the visuals for the Eagles are fantasic when I'm in a shallow frame of mind, I prefer to listen to music than to watch it.

I too would love a DVD from any time around 1975-1978 (no Long Run thank you very much :razz:), but I do fear their perfectionist mentality might get the better of them - if some of the songs aren't perfect its not like they can go and record another night and cut and paste a la Farewell 1. I also have a sneaking suspicion that's why the Capital Centre DVD is only 8 songs long.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

A friend of mine who was at one of the Capital Centre shows said they did not record the entire show. They came out, sang 'some' songs, then left the stage and the crowd was worried they weren't coming back at all because they were gone so long. Of course, he was probably high as a kite, but he very definitely remembers they didn't record the entire thing.

The thing I want most is Long Run era. Other then the promo videos I've never seen anything from it other then the clips from HOTE. I've never even heard live recordings from that tour.

[sodascouts]

There are several audio bootlegs but I know of no circulating full-length video of a concert from The Long Run era. I keep hoping there's something out there, but all I've seen so far is a brief clip of "Lyin' Eyes" and what we got on HOTE.

I'd also love to see shows from 1972 and 1975; I've got no videos from then except the early video of "Take It Easy" we've all seen.

[Midnight Visitor]

You have that wonderful live BBC show, don't you Soda? I think it's 1973.

[sodascouts]

Yes; it's the 1972 shows I don't have. They were mostly an opening act then, so it's understandable, but still.

[Elizasong]

I guess I'm going to have to settle for the '77 concert that goes with HOE Doc. I'm not a bootleg buyer and unless they release anything else that's it. I have to get a copy of Farewell Tour. I heard lots of good things on that one.

[sodascouts]

Yes, go and get yourself Farewell 1 immediately! I'm so glad they released a live concert DVD of something more recent than Hell Freezes Over. I'm also glad they released one that was truly reflective of their live show; HFO (much as I adore it) was not.

[Houston Debutante]

I like Farewell 1 and I want a show from the History Of The Eagles tour but live shows from the seventies would be even better.

[Thirsty&Hot]

this is something I've been whining about myself haha

but I read the stuff on the thread Nancy/Soda posted and it makes sense now.

ah well...

Farewell 1 is awesome. I play it often. I have the DVD and play them in the kitchen when I am cooking, my hubby put it on my tablet and now I take it everywhere. Same with HFO and last week he put the Beatles special on it too!
