About this item

If there ever was a farewell album could make one long for a reunion, this is it. Crowed House had their own personal hegemony of the airwaves in the '80s and '90s, and their final show on the steps of Sydney's Opera Plaza in 1996 shows you exactly why. This two-CD package overachieves as a live document, capturing both the high emotion of the crowd (120,000 strong) and stoicism of the band members, except for the final two songs, which find Neil Finn with a catch in his throat, fumbling over words. The entire recording is filled with memorable moments, brimming with humanity, heart, and the group's irreverent sense of humor--from dedicating song to the full moon, to inviting former band members onstage. "A Hole in the River," the gothic tune about Finn's aunt's suicide continues to haunt, while "Something So Strong" has grown up to be a self-help anthem. Farwell to the World is engaging, smart, philosophical, and sometimes even prophetic on songs like "Weather with You," when Neil Finn cautions, "You can fight the sleep, but not the dream." --Jaan Uhelszki
From the Label
On Nov 24, 1996, over 120,000 Crowded House fans from all over the world gathered outside Sydney Opera House for the band's farewell concert, a benefit for Sydney Children's Hospital. This legendary final show is now available for the first time on double CD and double DVD. The 24-song set includes live renditions of all of Crowded House's hits, including "Weather With You." "Don't Dream It's Over," "Fall At Your Feet," "It's Only Natural," "Distant Sun," and "Locked Out"--a fitting finale for an incredibly special group whose songs touched millions. "Farewell To the World" captures the spirit of Crowded House on the most emotional night of their 11-year career.
