Editing Hell Freezes Over (section)

==Background==
The album name is in reference to a quote by Don Henley after the band's breakup in 1980. Henley was asked in an interview about when the band would play together again, to which he responded "when Hell freezes over".<ref name="ultimate">{{cite web |url=http://ultimateclassicrock.com/eagles-hell-freezes-over-tour/ |title=20 Years Ago: The Eagles Release 'Hell Freezes Over' |author= Corbin Reiff|date= November 8, 2014 |work= Ultimate Classic Rock}}</ref> Glenn Frey also said in 1982 on the breakup: "I just rule out the possibility of putting the Eagles back together for a Lost Youth and Greed tour."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20083446,00.html |title=They Soared in the Seventies but the Eagles Are Now Following Separate Flight Plans|author= Fred Schruers |work=People magazine |date=November 1, 1982 }}</ref>

In 1993, an Eagles tribute album, ''[[Common Thread: The Songs of the Eagles]]'', was recorded by several country artists. [[Travis Tritt]], who covered "[[Take It Easy]]" in the album, asked the band to appear in his video for the song.<ref name="the boot">{{cite web|url=http://theboot.com/eagles-hell-freezes-over-tour/ |title=21 Years Ago: The Eagles Reunite for Hell Freezes Over Tour |author= Gayle Thompson |date=May 27, 2015 |work=The Boot }}</ref> The band members agreed, and it would be the first time the group had appeared together in 13 years. Two months later, Frey and Henley had lunch with their management and decided to reunite.<ref name="the boot"/>

The band members performed live for the first time in April 1994 at [[Warner Bros. Studios Burbank|Warner Bros. Studios]] in [[Burbank, California]] for an MTV special.<ref name="the boot"/> The recording sessions produced 11 tracks for the ''Hell Freezes Over'' album, including a new arrangement of "Hotel California" that featured an extended acoustic guitar and percussion opening. At the beginning of the concert, Frey joked to the audience: "For the record, we never broke up; we just took a 14-year vacation". The tour began on May 27, and the ''Hell Freezes Over'' album was released on November 8, 1994.<ref name="the boot"/> The album is the band's second live album, after 1980's ''[[Eagles Live]]''.

A new song "[[Get Over It (Eagles song)|Get Over It]]" became a modest hit and another new song, "[[Love Will Keep Us Alive]]", reached No. 1 on the ''Billboard'' Adult Contemporary chart.

The DVD is one of the first music releases to feature a [[DTS (sound system)|DTS]] format soundtrack in addition to a [[Pulse-code modulation|PCM]] stereo soundtrack. The DVD also featured the song "Seven Bridges Road" in DTS audio only. The DVD has since been re-released with an additional [[Dolby Digital]] soundtrack. The album was also released as a [[5.1 Music Disc|DTS CD]] in 1997.
