Production for the follow-up DVD to The Eagles 'Hell Freezes Over' began at their first Melbourne show last night.
The first three Melbourne shows are being filmed for the DVD which is expected to be released in September 2005, just prior to the start of The Farewell II American tour.
The show features two new Eagles songs. Joe Walsh's 'One Day At A Time' is a rock and roll song. Joe wrote it about his alcohol addiction. "I only got drunk once but it was for 20 years" he said introducing the song at last night's show.
The other new song was the Glenn Frey penned 'No More Cloudy Days'. Frey said at a press conference on Saturday that it was inspired by Welsh songwriter David Gray. "I dug his groove. I wanted to write something of that flavour, but it's not a David Gray copy. It's much more country" he said.
By far the greatest reaction to a song went to 'I Can't Tell You Way'. The crowd stood and applauded Timothy B. Schmit at the end of his performance.
The Eagles were in fine form with the occasional bitter dedication to old wives and tabloid magnates. Frey's 'Lyin' Eyes' was dedicated to "my first wife … Plantiff". Henley dedicated 'Dirty Laundry' to Rupert Murdoch.
Joe updated the lyrics to 'Life's Been Good' changing his limo ride line from locking the door so he isn't attacked to sitting in the back and watching Iraq. During the song he also utilized his helmet-cam. The helmet features a small camera which he aims at members of the audience to put them up on the big screens.
