I was wondering that too... I'm expecting it to be similar to 7 Worlds Collide - I think that's the most common way of doing it...
Hmmm... it would be a massive dissapointment for me if the concert was cropped to a single "highlights" CD.
The reason the
7 Worlds Collide CD was a patch job was because they did the whole "highlights" thing (selecting the "best" from the 2 or 3 nights the concerts were on)... & it's not like there was more than one
Farewell to the World show to choose a highlights package from, but I still wouldn't put it past them.
For what it's worth, I'd always rather a full-length concert over a "highlights" package as presented on the 7WC CD. In fact my best audio recording of 7WC is the version I ripped from the DVD to MP3 (or WAV) using DVD Audio Ripper.
They can always fit the entire
Farewell to the World video (plus extras) on a single DVD, so I really really hope they don't go for the ol' CD + DVD package. In that case they'd obviously have to compress the audio part to under 80 minutes, thus giving some tracks the chop (ala
7 Worlds Collide).
The only true way to release this would be for a
double CD being sold by itself, and the DVD being done the justice it deserves in many ways. And if anything is to be included with the DVD it would be nice if the Melbourne warm-up show was added onto a CD.
But I don't hold much hope. I hate to be negative, but if anyone can screw this up it will be EMI. Sadly I think the only "extras" we'll get is
Copy Control™...
And yes I'll still buy it anyway!
