For anyone interested, my music review site Ear Medicine has a 5 bone review of the Farewell To The World DVD.
Also look for the Tim Finn review for those that missed it a month or so ago.
Cheers.

Can't say I think much of your review of Love.
Each to their own I guess. On my mailout to my readers I hoped that they took The Beatles review in jest.
I understand the review does not sit well with some people while others have found the humour in it.
With a group like The Beatles, it really feels redundant going into an elongated diatribe on why you dislike certain releases.
I can certainly understand the remixes being made for the show it soundtracks in Vegas and I am not even offended that they have tinkered with the songs.
From my point of view it just felt like enough was enough. Especially after the pointless 'Let It Be Naked' release.
But then each to his (or her) own.

Great review Stuart,i had a tear in my eye reading it,it was and will always be the highlight of my life,still have the t-shirt,well worn!!!
There never will be any band better than the crowdies in the 80's/90's.
It only higlights what a great guy Paul was.
Who hasn't cried at "Don't dream It's over" after watching the video.
Thanks for giving it a great review.
Long live the Crowdies!!!!

I'm glad you liked it.
I was there myself as well as a wide eyed 16 year old straight off an overnight trip on a Greyhound bus. First time in Sydney! With the concert being delayed a day I had to scurry to re-arrange my return trip and also miss out on end of year exams. Well worth the hassle I might add.

Did you manage to pass your exams in the end?
Hope you did,still i suppose there is only one band or two you would do that for!!
"That's what i call love"

Cool review. I remember sitting there watching the TV broadcast before the VHS was out- Videoing the show while listening to the live broadcast on local FM and taping that too, while trying to cut the adverts out of both...!
Thank God the DVD & CD came out!!!!! :-)

I did exactly the same thing and the tape is rather worn and not the best quality.
