Certainly not a perfect documentary, but it succeeds in being an engrossing and compelling look at the legendary band...
An efficient talking heads doc that celebrates the band without deigning to hagiography.
The Eagles live in both the present and the past.
Audience Reviews for History Of The Eagles: Part 1
I think even those who aren't actually a huge fan of the Eagles might find some enjoyment in this insightful and highly entertaining documentary about one of the greatest rock bands of the classic rock era.
With its leaders, Don Henley and Glenn Frey, the 1970's supergroup known as the Eagles was born. They, however, were far from perfect and this documentary shows them, scars and all. It features interviews with all the current members, as well as all the past members. Some like Randy Meisner are pretty friendly. Others like Don Felder are still pretty bitter about the experience.
The best part is the story behind the classic tunes like "Hotel California". It also features rare footage that hasn't been seen publicly before.
I am a fan of their music and thoroughly enjoyed seeing this at Sundance with all the members of the band in attendance.
