Editorial Review:
Don Henley and the Eagles may have sold a jillion albums, written some memorable songs, and established themselves as icons of the cocaine-colored '70s. But if there's one thing they weren't, it's a great live band--unless, of course, your idea of greatness includes rote, note-perfect re-creations of the recorded versions. And so it is with Henley the solo artist, at least if Live: Inside Job is any clue. Oh, it's not that this is a bad show. Au contraire. Henley's got a really good voice, a very good band, and a batch of good songs, including five from Inside Job (his first album of new material since the '80s), several solo hits, and the inevitable Eagle droppings. The guy is unquestionably a serious artist (that's serious as in "humorless"--Henley's stock in trade is sarcastic, cynical tunes like "Dirty Laundry," "New York Minute," and "They're Not Here, They're Not Coming," with their bitter ruminations on how tough it is to be a celebrity and the general decay and hollowness of contemporary culture). As such, he might reasonably claim that it's all about the music--hey, you want costume changes and firing flash pots, go see Cher or Kiss. An admirable stance, maybe, but it doesn't exactly make for a thrilling video experience. What you get is a filmed concert--nothing more, nothing less--with a couple of unexpected moments. Chief among the latter is the romping, Afro-Cuban arrangement of "Hotel California," and the presence of a 12-voice choir (led by Maxine Waters) that lends genuine majesty to "The Heart of the Matter." The choir is appropriate, because with Live: Inside Job, that's who Don Henley's preaching to. --Sam Graham
Grammy Award winner Don Henley helped define the '70s as a member of the fabulously successful rock band The Eagles before launching an impressive solo career. On May 25, 2000, he returned to his Texas roots for a remarkable concert, recorded before an enthusiastic audience at Fair Park Music Hall in Dallas. This rock legend's live performance captures all the passion, satire and originality that fans around the world most treasure in his influential music. Songs: Dirty Laundry, Sunset Grill, Workin' It, Takin' 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, My Thanksgiving, Hotel California.

Rating:  - Brilliant live performance
You can see the class in the driving force behind the Eagles in this DVD. His voice is unique and evokes many emotions depending on the song. If you haven't heard his solo work this is a great introduction. An unusual version of Hotel California finishes it off. Great music DVD. The 5.1 audio is top quality.
Rating: - Vintage Don Henley!!
Live - Inside Job is Don Henley at his best. From his solo career to his years with The Eagles, it's all covered here! Henley rocks on "All She Wants To Do Is Dance" while inciting so many great memories with "Desperado". This a concert no Eagles fan or Henley fan should miss owning! I only wish there were more concerts available by both the Eagles and Don Henley on DVD. I'd own them ALL!!
Rating: - A great artist, great music
Everytime I had a chance to see Don Henley performing live, either in a concert( unfortunately the only one I had the chance to attend was while living in London back in 1989/1990 ) or in DVD's, like the Eagles one or this latest "Inside Job", I realize that I am watching an intelligent and very mature artist with a perfect sense on how to deliver good music.
I must admit that I would have liked to see a couple of more songs from "The end of the innocence " album in this concert DVD but overall ... Read More
Rating: - Don Henley still rocks
A friend of mine suggested I watch The Eagles Hell Freezes Over and I got hooked ever since! I take my music very seriously and the Eagles are awesome! I bought this video because in my opinion, The Eagles are an awesome band! I heard some reviewers saying that Don Henley in this concert is not flashly and looks like he put on weight and can't hit the high notes like he used to, my response to this is, Don Henley is in his 50's, put yourself in his shoes, if you would to be his age, you too would be a ...

I have been a fan of Don Henley since I was just a little girl and I still love his music today. After seing The Eagles live recently and listening to their music and watching their DVD -- I just couldn't get enough of them, especially of Don who is my favourite band member so when I found this DVD I was thrilled. Buying it was money well spent. It's a great show by a great performer and WOW what a voice this man has. What tallent! His music is timeless. I loved practically everything about this DVD and ...
