History of the Eagles' comes to Netflix

[Crypto]

History of the Eagles, the iconic band's acclaimed documentary, will be available on Netflix beginning today, Wednesday, October 15. 

The Emmy Award-winning film features rare archival material, concert footage, and never-before seen home movies that explore the evolution and enduring popularity of one of the world's biggest-selling and culturally significant American bands.

History of the Eagles made its television broadcast debut on Showtime last year, earning the network its highest ratings for a music documentary in eight years. Its subsequent 3-disc DVD/Blu-ray release became the best-selling music documentary of 2013 and was certified Platinum in the U.S. & Australia; Diamond in Canada; and Gold in UK, France and New Zealand. It charted Top 5 in 13 countries, of which 11 were #1 (Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Ireland, Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland, UK & USA).

Part One premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2013 and the Sundance London Film And Music Festival in April 2013 to great acclaim, dedicating two hours to the chronicling of the band's creation and rise to fame in the 1970's through its breakup in 1980. 

More than 25 new and exclusive interviews were conducted with all current band members -- Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit - as well as former members Bernie Leadon, Randy Meisner and Don Felder. Also featured are new and exclusive interviews with Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt, Kenny Rogers, Irving Azoff and many other seminal artists and band contemporaries who have been closely involved with the Eagles' history. 

Part Two reveals the personal and professional struggles members faced while the band was apart, and chronicles the group's dramatic reunion in 1994, as well as its resurgence in recording and performing throughout the next two decades. Among the band's many achievements since reforming are its triumphant Hell Freezes Over tour, the 2007 release of Long Road Out of Eden (which sold more than 5.5 million copies worldwide and earned two GRAMMY® Awards), and its ongoing ascendance as an international supergroup.

Directed by Alison Ellwood and produced by Alex Gibney, History of the Eagles was created with a select crew of filmmakers including: Blair Foster, Executive Producer; Alison Ellwood and Ben Sozanski, Editors; Karim Karmi, Co-Producer; and Erin Edeiken, Line Producer.
