In November 2006, the DVD was re-issued at Wal-Mart stores with a bonus 3-track CD which are teasers of the band's upcoming studio album. The two new songs included in the DVD are "One Day At A Time" (Walsh) and "No More Cloudy Days" (Frey). The concert marks the band's first use of pre-recorded rhythm tracks, namely a track consisting of muted guitar strums on " Hotel California" (which were overdubbed on the original studio version, but were absent from previous live performances of the song) and a backing rhythm track for Don Henley's rendition of his fast-paced solo hit " The Boys of Summer". There is a 'sort of' honesty in calling the tour Farewell 1, with its implication that Farewell 2 will follow soon."
The name 'Farewell Tour' has nothing to do with the band's plan to quit touring and this is confirmed by Glenn Frey's quote in the interview contained in the DVD: "The longer this goes on, the better these songs sound. This would also mark the last Eagles live video with founding member Glenn Frey before his death in 2016. It is the first Eagles live video as a quartet without Don Felder, who was terminated from the band in 2001 (but it did feature four other backing musicians, along with a four-piece horn section). It was filmed in Melbourne, Australia at the Rod Laver Arena on November 14, 15 and 17, 2004, featuring two new songs. Farewell 1 Tour: Live from Melbourne is a double DVD by Eagles, released in 2005.
