I too wasn't there, but there are a lot of pictures on this link

The production should find its hapiness

Ooooh! Exciting news indeed! CD AND DVD? Woooooooo hooooooo!

What a HUGE relief to hear that things are actually coming together for this. I'm counting down the days......!

Unfortunately I wasn't there either - HOW I wish that I had been.

I've been searching for others who did actually go over the past couple of months - with little success. http://frenzforum.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/7601061171/m/9311056012

I thought that here of all places, there would be at least a few people who did go - where are you all hiding?

This has to be the BEST news I've heard in a long, long time.
I'm not sure if the artwork displayed on the web page will be the final artwork for the official release, but it sure as hell has got my juices going!
This is awesome and I am so excited that this is finally gonna be released after 10 years!!!
This has to be the ultimate testiment to the true genius CROWDED HOUSE were and a well deserved tribute to their memory.

Excellent news!

Finally the wait is nearly over...

Now that is brilliant news. Funny enough, I'm more excited about this than the re-mastered SE albums or the reunion tour. Guess that shows what side of the Frenz toast my butter is on.

By the way, does anyone know if the artwork featured on the website will be the artwork for the CD/DVD?

Artwork for the release has not been 100% finalised as yet. But should be in the coming months

That's fantastic news! Too bad the website doesn't say much else, I'm dying for more info (tracklistings, extras ...). All a bit premature, I suppose. Is the "company" EMI?

I never saw the Farewell concert ... I'm SO looking forward to this!

All i need to say is...

YAY!!

Mmmmm.....that link doesn't work for me. What am I missing? I've downloaded Flash but it doesn't make any difference. I think it must finally be time to upgrade my ancient computer!

Oh Sweenie - just you wait until you SEE it! It is quite possibly THE (or one of) very best live Crowded House shows ever - OK, OK, so I'm verybiased but you'll see why!!

I know exactly what you mean Dazz - I'm excited about the upcoming Enz shows/remastered CD's but that's nothing compared to THIS news! I grew up with the Crowdies and I suppose the Enz were just a smidge before my time.

We've been waiting so long for this - I can't believe it's really happening. Please keep us informed Chris!

You know what this means don't you? Time to start another official countdown - only 199 DAYS TO GO!

The farewelltotheworld website seems tobe down at the moment -you just get a Black blank screen!

Aaah......so it's not just me then! Thanks delta. Let's hope it's back up again soon.

I couldn't get the site to work either....but this is the best news.....goes to check bank balance!!!!

Early days. Hasn't been mixed yet.

I don't think I'd go so far as to call Farewell to the World one of the best Crowdie shows. The Corner Hotel shows were much more relaxed and musically adventurous. The Opera House was an amazing atmosphere and a special night, but FTTW wasn't the typical Crowdies live experience. However, it's good to have this show for posterity and as a reminder of the day. I will say that this DVD better include ALL the tracks from the show- there are at least 3 to 4 missing from the current video.

Yep. From memory, the missing tracks were Weather With You, Pineapple head and Throw Your Arms Around Me (maybe one more, can't remember). Weather With You was left off and a warm up gig version featured at the start of the video, but I have at least 2 different TV broadcasts, Aus and UK where the concert version is included. Throw Your Arms Around Me was included as a PG shot version on a club DVD, so that only leaves Pineapple Head unseen (apart from by the audience obviously)!

Forgot to say, although musically it's almost spot-on, I wouldn't class it as one of the best shows either. Some of the German broadcasts of around Woodface era have much more character and are a bit more off the cuff. Paul's Hairy Back bet for a start, or his cartwheels and somersaults all add to a time where they were playing as tight as they ever did.

I don't know why people are so wrapped up in techicalities..Farewell to the World IS one of the best Crowdie shows not because of how musically adventurous...it wasn't SUPPOSED to be that sort of show. It was one of the best shows because of the emotion of the crowd and the emotion of the band..it was their last ever gig together..THATS what made it so special!
