Farewell to the World - CD & DVD

Hi Billy, I think the thread which NFADDICT is refering to can be found here

Now get yourselves back on topic


It all sounds very exciting from duderanch... I'm hoping we get as much release in the UK as is being said here - I'm assuming you're talking about the Australian releases duderanch?? Please can we have the same everywhere else? Pleeeeeeassse!

I think this whole thing is just INCREDIBLE. I've waited 10 years, wishing that someday someone would be bold enough to release the FAREWELL CONCERT in full glory. Now is the time!
I'm really excited and am very anxious to see the Artwork for both the DVD and CD releases.
I've been stalking the Amazon.com site almost everyday hoping to get a first glimpse of a new Crowded House release.
This is by far the most exciting FINN related news in a loooooong time!
All the effort and all the energy put into this DVD will be praised endlessly!

I have signed up to the mailing list on farewelltotheworld.com at the startup.
But i have received any mails from this. And you

I signed up ages ago and haven't received a single email.
Perhaps the release date is still too far away to start the FTTW promo machine.

I also joined the mailing list a while ago and am yet to receive anything. Perhaps it is still too far away but I would've thought that with the release dates just being announced - we would've heard something by now.

Guess we'll just have to wait and see....

Ahhh ahhh ahhh....

You are soooo cruel Robbie!! How can we wait any longer?!

Is it November yet?? :P

Robbie, I hope your not joking.
I hate to say it but you are my Idol as if today.
How did you manage to get both th CD and the DVD almost 2 months ahead of time?
Is there any way they will be released before the scheduled dates?
You must either be very close to someone important at EMI or related to the FINNs. In any case you MUST get down to business, watch the DVD, listen to the CD and then get back to the frenz.com and write a full review of everything.
For those of us who have to wait till late November, you are our only hope!

You go do that, and we want a detailed review!

We need to know if we should bother to purchase it....ok, ok, just kidding.

The purchase should be worth it for the photo gallery alone (ahem... cough cough... looks sideways)

Jaffaman... I think you must have one of the best jobs in the world....

You always have the scoops and the info before the rest of us!


So... tell us about the photo gallery.....

You lucky thing....the wait is so cruel for the rest of us

I'm waiting too. Haven't seen or heard the DVD yet.

Have you got your mug in the gallery then Jaffa?

You can thank your lucky stars that's not the case. I'll leave it at that before I dig myself into a hole!

Okay Guys have just played the New Live CD sounding fab!
The DVD managed to play disc one listned the some of the commentary!
A guy called Laurie Zion is The Moderator
In Aukland is Neil and Nick with Miller and Lorraine the two dogs (Lorraine being Pauls dog)
On the Phone from Los Angeles is Mark Hart
Well it starts with Neil saying "Hey were here"
Nick "Neil you run like a girl"
mentions Paul always having a comfy chair!
Heres a biggie Neil mentions during Dont dream its over that the Demo of that song will be coming out on a box set next year!!)
also goes on to say that when the band left the stage some guy had managed to evade security and snuck into the dressing room!

its getting very am! here in England so im off to bed, will be looking at disc 2 later! hope this is okay for the moment

Sounds like the commentary will be worth it alone. I'm always a sucker for these type of things.

And what's thing about a box set Mr.Finn? Please explain.

Looks like another cat is out of the bag....

A CH box set to look forward to as well???? Ahhhhh.......*bliss*

It sounds amazing robbie! You are so lucky!

What an excruciating wait it's going to be.... I don't suppose there's a chance for an early release to us fans is there?

Let's keep our fingers crossed!

I was sooooo envious reading what you wrote Robbie.....Bring on November and the release of the DVD....I've been waiting so long, what's another 6 weeks.....HELL!!!!!!!

Grrrr! How did you manage to get your hands on it before time! I'm jealous!!!

Where's the next installment Robbie?????? It's morning over there

I dont want to spoil anything so if you dont want any spoilers look away this might be in your Christmas stocking!!!!

Okay Guys here goes.. sorry for any spelling
Disc 2
Doc1 "The Day they brought the house down"
They have David Hepworth (A UK music journalist always a big fan of the band) says something great about "Crowded House were a band you wanted to run off with like the circus"
alson you have Lawrie Zion, Michael Chugg,Peter Green(our god)Neil ,Nick (they talk about the split up)theres a lot of back stage shots.
Peter mentions that when a band splits up the community of fans drift off where as with the Crowdies we have doubled!!!it shows our love of the band!
Doc2 "Planning the Event" This is the one we have on the VHS tapes not sure if there is any added stuff? Paul is really funny at the press conference!!
Doc3 Channel 7 Witness
This has Neil playing "Private Universe" under a huge tree on a black arm chair, then in the studio playing an e-bow(guitar vibrator)
Nick is sketching away(maybe at his house)
Paul is in his studio explaining what he wants out of life talking about the band,Neil playing an Octogon singing "not the girl" then on the piano!
Theres a clip of fans watching a soundcheck at a Melbourne Pub.
The band talk about whether they are dorks!!!
some fab video of Paul with his dogs and his car.
Credits: has all the names of the people who helped with the track"Spirit of the Stairs" This sounds different to the Neil version maybe it could of been a demo?
Photo Gallery
Photos with a choice of demos of
Instinct or Italian Plastic(sounding very different)(different beat)

I just want to say who ever put this DVD together deserves a big pat on the back Thank you.

On a personal note I kinda hated Crowded House getting sucessful they were my band no one elses! a real best kept secret but there you go!
do you guys know what I mean?

On a last note i just want to say on the channel 7 witness Doc there is Paul in slow motion playing drums to Dont Dream its over at the end of the gig and you can see Tears rolling down his face, this is really heartbreaking guys I had a tear to!

"Dont Dream Its over"

Spoilers don't bother me here... so I read it!

Thanks robbie - just makes me want it all the more... and Spirit of the Stairs... ahh ahhh ahhh ... cue wild screaming!!

Sounds amazing! I really can't wait...

Is the Channel 7 part from around the time of the concert then? Yeah, I think from what you said it is, right?

Thanks heaps Robbie....when is the official release date....it sounds like it's what we all expected....bloody brilliant

robbie, that is not SPOILLING anything. All that you have done is made us more interested in buying the DVD and Live CD come November.
Then again, who here is NOT going to buy it at some stage? I know that I'm getting one.

Yes the Witness Doc is around the time of the split up, some cool Neil stuff there.

I think the release date is Nov 20th(not sure)
but around there

Yup - November 20th was the date I had in my head - I think that one applies to UK, Australia and NZ...

Disappears to find post where Peter confirmed dates....

Try this thread - http://frenzforum.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/7601061171/m/1021024162

Canada is the 21st, US is January 07 (I think that's the year, rather than the 7th) and some European countries get theirs on the 17th... grrr!

Well the DVD is 0 Region, (plays on any player)

I'm pretty sure I've seen this. Neil strumming his guitar under the tree, gorgeous shots of Lester, Neil in his house, contemplative Paul in his studio and car, Nick at home, fans getting into soundcheck...the list goes on.

And as for those different angle shots of Paul in FTTW....oh dear, get the tissues ready. I know I definitely needed them.

I'm just so glad they included THIS entire story on the DVD..it really is precious footage that deserves to be seen by as many fans as possible.

Yes Alx. Thats the thread.

Robbie, youre a Pal!
Thanks for giving us the heads up on the amazing things to expect.
No Spoils for me, I too read your review and agree that it just makes me want the CD & DVD even more.
I cannot wait, this will most definately be among my best Christmas (or Birthday December 2nd) presents.
Just a few weeks away!

What about in between the songs, Robbie? Have they restored some of the banter that was cut out?

Robbie you rock! The DVD sounds truly awesome. I love commentaries and this one sounds especially good so I can't wait for that

The DVD contains the full, uncut show, banter and all.

It just keeps getting better and better!

Thanks for sharing that slowpogo!

I'm sure I'll be the first one at Sanity on November 20, it sounds like everything we've been waiting for....I'm saving the pennies madly....Tim's album, this DVD and the Enz DVD.....what a finnextravaganza!!!!! Am a very happy 7
