The Eagles: 1976-11-06 Houston, TX (Pro Shot DVD)

This is a great concert, and it is also a great upgrade to earlier versions of this show that have surfaced.  I started out with a 1 CD (audio only) recording of part of this show in the 1990's.  I didn't even realize it was on video until about ten years later.  And while the video was a great upgrade to the 1 CD audio version I had, and it was the complete show too, it still was not the best quality.  This upgrade, which I saw surfacing about two or three years ago, is great.  Work has been done to correct the audio and video issue the older copies had.  The source this video came from is a lower generation (better) copy than my original video copy too.

 The band, as usual, puts on an excellent show.  This is reportedly one of the seven 1976 to 1977 Houston Summit shows that were filmed under contracts with the venue.  I have a number of these shows (Kansas, Queen, etc) in my collection, and baring if there is any truth to the Led Zeppelin 1977 Houston Summit having been filmed, this is the show from the set of seven I have watched the most.

Between songs, as seen in all of the pro shot earlier versions, there is usually a black screen for up to a minute or two.  This isn't the case in just this Houston Summit 1976 The Eagles show.  It's the case in all that I have seen.  However, in this upgraded copy I've uploaded, someone took the time to add various pictures from The Eagles (audio is still heard on DVD) to fill in the "black gaps".

I hope you enjoy the show...
