Tech Notes

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.
