This review is from: Don Henley Live - Inside Job (DVD)

You all know Henley so I'll spare the career retrospective. This DVD was taped May 25, 2000 at Fair Park Music Hall in Dallas. From the opener of Dirty Laundry through the entire set and closing with Hotel California, this is a great show by a fantastic song writer. Don's voice sounds great on this night and his back-up band is very sharp. Not a lot of talk between songs, but one great tune after another. The other songs include Sunset Grill, Workin' It, Taking You Home, The Boys of Summer, Lilah, Everything is Different Now, The End of the Innocence, All She Wants to Do is Dance, New York Minute, Talking to the Moon, They're Not Here (They're Not Coming), The Heart of the Matter, Desperado, The Long Run, and My Thanksgiving.

That covers the show, now on to the DVD features... well, there really aren't any. The sound quality is excellent and the production is flawless, but no multiple camera angles, no extras, no videos, just a short intro then on to the show. I'm not complaining as the show is fantastic, but if you like whistles and bells look elsewhere. If you love Henley, the Eagles or just great music then you'll still love it.

This review is from: Don Henley Live - Inside Job (DVD)

Don Henley isn't, and never will be, a flamboyant artist and this DVD only serves to prove it. The man takes his music very seriously and expects to be taken seriously in return. What this serves to produce is a very polished stage performance.

As with Eagles performances, "Live: Inside Job" is an extremely good display of top quality musicianship. Henley gives impassioned and nearly flawless renditions of the best of his solo career, some Eagles material (including a twist on the classic "Hotel California") and some good new material. He is well backed up by an excellent band and choir.

This is an excellently produced DVD. None of the material seems out of place, it is visually pleasing but most importantly with anything that Henley does the sound is rich and enveloping. All in all this is a fantastic listening experience for Henley fans but also for anyone who can appreciate good musicianship.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not for the Purist, November 28, 2000

This review is from: Don Henley Live - Inside Job (DVD)

As a big Don Henley fan, I'm amazed at the vocal stamina he's maintained after all these years. He can still hit the high notes with unbelievable ease & clarity. His performance on every song is absolute perfection.

Not as much can be said, however, about the orchestration of this live concert. Many "real" instruments have been replaced by synthesizers (there's not a saxophone to be found in "The End of the Innocence").

The audio engineering of "Inside Job" presents yet another negative. It makes virtually no use of the rear channels, making me wonder why they bothered with DTS encoding in the first place.

Knowing what I know now, would I buy this DVD again? Sure. But only because I'm a diehard Don Henley fan.
