intro
10th anniversary double CD/DVD of Crowded House's last ever show, which took place outside Sydney's famous Opera House in front of 120,000 fans
'Farewell to the World' is exactly that, both a double CD and a double DVD of Crowded House's last ever gig, recorded 10 years ago on the 24th November 1996 outside Sydney's famous Opera House in front of 120,000 fans. It is as classic as classic gets, tight songwriting and masterfully played instrumentation by the New Zealand/Australian band whom had a massive following from the mid 80s to mid 90's. Both the double CD and DVD features the whole gig of 24 songs, which was enjoyed obviously as much by the band as by their loyal fan base. The crowd often sing the songs back to the band. Unlike any other band, Crowded House brought sunshine to the world with their well-crafted masterclass songwriting.
