This was recently uploaded by Gripweed as "Torrent #53153 Eagles live in
Texas 1977 DVD." I downloaded it and decided to fix it up a bit.

I color corrected it (there was a lot of glaring red and blue haze in it
- about 95% of that is gone), fixed the audio so that it comes out both
channels (in mono). I also boosted the volume - it was way too low.

To color correct this required that I reduce the saturation and darken
it a bit. Regarding the darkening - the images will appear to be
slightly darker than the original. This mostly affects the background
images - and not those in the foreground. So a speaker cabinet that was
visible in the original version will probably not be (as) visible in
this one. The musicians, for the most part, are unchanged in this
regard.

And I added motion menus (main menu and song selection menu). And I put
in some vintage Eagles '70s-era still images in between songs where the
screen went to black. I also (neatly) cut out a few minutes of deadtime
while the band was offstage between encores.

Regarding the date - some things strongly suggests this was not a 1977
show because of a lack of songs like "New Kid In Town" which reached #1
in the charts in 1977. During the show, J.D. Souther mentions that it's
Glenn Frey's birthday (November 6) - which means they would have
performed a full show in late 1977 without playing their number one hit
of the year - which just doesn't make sense. Also, Randy Meisner left
the Eagles in September 1977 - which is the month the "Hotel California"
tour ended. Lastly, a Dimer posted he has an Eagles concert ticket stub
dated November 6, 1976 for a show in Houston.

Props to Gripweed for liberating this little gem!
