The Eagles Release Career Spanning DVD Set

Out today on DVD and Blu-ray is the Eagles' History Of The Eagles, the band's three-hour documentary.

The doc, which originally aired on HBO, features in-depth interviews with all seven members of the Eagles -- Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Joe Walsh, and Timothy B. Schmit -- along with co-founders Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner, and former guitarist Don Felder.

The film, which includes rare and unseen footage of the band at work and at play, pulls no punches in telling the back story of America's most successful rock band, also includes interviews with key collaborators J.D. Souther, Jackson Browne, and Jack Tempchin, along with longtime manager Irving Azoff, early label head David Geffen, and producers Bill Szymczyk and Glyn Johns.


The three-disc set includes History Of The Eagles - Part One and History Of The Eagles - Part Two -- as well as Eagles Live At The Capital Centre - March 1977, featuring never-before-released performances from the band's two-night stand at Washington, D.C.'s Capital Center during the legendary Hotel California tour.

The disc features previously unreleased concert performances of "Hotel California," "New Kid In Town," "Take It To The Limit," "One Of These Nights," "Lyin' Eyes," "Rocky Mountain Way," "Best Of My Love," and "Take It Easy."
