That is an excellent topic. The Hell Freezes Over DVD (recorded in April 1994 at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, CA) is widely considered not just the Eagles’ best live video, but a benchmark for live concert filmmaking.
Compare the 1994 "Hotel California" solo to the 1977 original. The 1977 version is angry and psychedelic. The 1994 version is sad and resigned. It fits the lyrics perfectly— "You can never leave" sounds truer when played on a classical guitar than on a distorted Les Paul.
