Did not know about this one, but will give it a shot thanks.

This title sounds like a Gold Mine. Great find Artslinger!

Is is in 4:3 format and stereo only?

You can get the 14 DVD set too. The 5 additional DVD's (The History of Rock 'n' Roll) I think were released on VHS as I already have them.

Hard to say if it will be in widescreen or 4:3, I would guess Widescreen with maybe the older stuff formated to fit widescreen. The audio they recorded even the early stuff should be good enough to offer 5.1.

Does anyone have experience with the quality of Time Life's AQ & PQ. I just always got the sense they're a K-Tel type of outfit piggy backing on the credibility of the "Time Magazine" brand.

You would hope considering this is from "THE" Rock and Roll Hall of Fame the quality would be good. I'm pretty sure they are just the distributers for the box set, and this was produced by another company. There will be other releases through most sellers online and brick and mortar.

The Dickey Betts Rock and Roll Hall of Fame DVD is fine quality.

ELO Zoom is also one of my top 5 DVD concerts.

The babes alone make it worth watching.

And that closing song is really well done.

Hell Freezes Over is 16:9 if i remember correctly.

Hell Freezes Over is a more intimate show with a slightly more natural, acoustic sound to it. Its a very high quality recording, it was performed in a sound studio.


Farewell is a longer, more electric show, more support players, and even has a horn section at times, etc. It has more bass and sounds just as good as Hell Freezes over, some say better. To me Farwell sounds a bit "enhanced" in the sound department, perhaps they bump up certain frequencies, etc .

Both are very good: If you want bang for your buck go for Farewell, but if you just want to see the Eagles with few support players, sitting on a stage, go for Hell Freezes Over.

The Eagles perform songs perfectly, but do not move around much, some say they Loiter on stage

The problem with Hall Of Fame induction ceremony performances is the band normally has to use a cut back equipment set, sometimes someone elses, they dont have much warm-up time, are often missing band membrs, and only play a couple songs.

I would rent one first before putting down real money.

If they will be available to rent. Time Life is the distributor, so I am not sure what the rental availability, if any will be

OK.....I am going to reveal what a audio whore I actually am..........Even though I despise the Eagles (something me and "The Dude" have in common ), I had to give Hell Freezes Over a rent due to all the talk on how good the recording/mix was. Well the recording/mix was good enough that I made it through the whole show Seriously though HFO sounds awesome and if you like the Eagles definitely check it out. Cant comment on Farewell.

Now don't get me wrong, 666 is a wonderful DVD, but this one is a dud.

This DVD is hideous. First off the main show was filmed in 35mm. What these producers didn't tell us is, they just copied the film from a VHS master tape. The video quality is bootlegish. 35mm film should transfer into wonderful 16:9 1080p quality. Now I know why I sold my audio gear in the early 80's and left the scene for 25 years. The 80's were the dark ages of R&R music. Those costumes are repulsive and the music was lost, just a shadow of what it was in the 60's and early 70's.....

We had this metal music and disco. What a sad era in music it was. Get yourself some Blue Cheer.

Get this on CD and listen to the music if you must. Forget the rest.

If you are a fan of Joe Walsh go with Farewell. Has some of his solo stuff well done.
Like has already been said it is also more "electric" where Freezes is more like "Eagles Unplugged"
I have both and rarely watch freezes anymore. It was one of my favorites before I picked up the Farewell Tour but YMMV. I personally prefer the stage presence and sound of the more lively performance.

Just watched Leonard Cohen "Live In London". Very impressed, and a bit embarrassed I haven't picked up more material from this Canadian artist. It's very well recorded and musically interesting. His baritone voice is a real nice change of pace and his lyrics are thought provoking. I'd heard him before, some of his songs are fairly popular (many have been covered by other artists) but I didn't get past his voice to hear the "whole" songs, seeing him live brings it all into context.
Worth a spin guys, well maybe not for you metal heads - unless you've got an alter-ego...

I couldnt find it at my store either, so I just ordered it online from Wal Mart. The part of it that they showed on the tv special was so good, I cant wait to see the whole concert.

This title is a gem. The Woodstock of Reggae. Three day's of peace, love and music. The AQ/ VQ is outstanding. Why this is out of print, tells us of the times. The message is clear, clear from the roots of Bob Marley's message. Jah!
