Episode 1: Part 1 

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.9|5.0 Starsììì 

History of the Eagles—great documentary—focuses on the beginning, the rise to success, and the breakup of the band. A type of process is followed that can be easily seen replicated in other successful musical groups. It’s a good study of human nature and provokes thought about how to ensure lifetime careers. Worth watching.

Storyline 

Episode 1 follows the lives of the band members before forming their band and after forming it. Good understanding of the work ethic required to rise and sustain are faithfully portrayed. The small things that lead to the band’s failure and subsequent breakup are also followed.

? Yes? No? Maybe? 

Yes. It Is worth viewing and has a nice sprinkling of the music this group performs and fans love. It, interestingly, follows the same pattern that other musical groups follow. It’s a pattern/path that ultimately leads to breakup and final closure to what could have been a life-time commitment to the team. Just a little different mindset has the potential to build long-term wealth and life-long friendships. Educational and informative watch.

Episode 1: Part 2 

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì 

Episode 2: Part 2 is an even better watch than the first episode because it shows the band regrouping and re-forming. Go Eagles! 

Storyline 

Episode 2: Part 2 shows how the team fares apart with individual members following their own paths. Then, it focuses on the regrouping and success, the necessary dismissal of Don Felder and a look back at what could have been different and what actually was..
