a 2 hour special from Australia. Sounding good. Apparently a filmed show. No Stevie. That'll be in just two more days!

Farewell Tour.. yea ok..The Stones started that back in the 80's.

I'm watching, more like just listening, to it now. Seems like a dumb move, though, broadcasting on network TV the same show about to be released on DVD? Wait a sec, didn't FM do the same thing w/ Live in Boston? D'OH!

I don't know. Might depend on how much NBC paid for the rights. I would hardly call NBC & PBS equal exposure though, especially considering that many of the PBS affiliates did not show any thing even remotely resembling a full show.

Whats with the Farewell 1?? What is there going to be a Farewell 2?

MacMan · #6 06-01-2005, 08:13 PM

This is probably a chopped up version of the dvd...

I don't know... It's kind of mellow

Sounds good and looks good though.

Who's the young hottie on keyboards.

Livia · #8 06-01-2005, 08:25 PM

I don't know...have to go look again...is that Scott Crago on percussion? And is that guitar player on the right the same guy who has been touring w/ Tom Petty?

Tango · #9 06-01-2005, 08:44 PM

I don't know the keyboardist. Maybe L&M will say. The guitarist next to Joe is Steuart Smith, an great talent. He's not Felder's "replacement" but he definitely holds his own on stage.

Joe is amazing on the slide. He totally makes Hotel California, along with Don Henley's vocals. But Joe is definitely the clown of the band and gets everyone on their feet. He has practically a cult following.

Funny to see Don looking scruffy!

I bet there will be some of their solo songs on that. For me, I don't know that it's better than Hell Freezes Over, because that was just totally a miracle. I think I'll buy this though- they all sounds great. I was thinking, Stevie could sing Desperato with Don as a close to her 10 shows with him. Their harmonies would be the best!

Ozzy even did a farewell tour....altho shortly he came back with a new tour called RETIREMENT SUCKS TOUR lol

I read they were replaying it on some cable station. Maybe it was Bravo? Check your local listings or tvguide.com

I saw about an hour of it yesterday and was totally impressed with how great they sounded. Especially Don Henley. Of course, now that I know that OVERDUBBING is a bands ancient chinese secret to making them sound better, who know's if they're really that good.

On another note, they reminded me of Fleetwood Mac during the interview segments where they were talking about being at their personal best regarding their performances and musianship. They were almost saying the same exact things Lindsey, Stevie and Mick did in all their little interview segments.
