'''''Farewell: Live from the Universal Amphitheatre, Halloween 1995''''' is a double [[live album]] and home video release by American [[new wave music|new wave]] band [[Oingo Boingo]], documenting their final concerts and ending on [[Halloween]] night of 1995. The band played a series of five nights,<ref>{{cite web|last=Iwasaki|first=Scott|url=https://www.deseret.com/1996/4/26/19238694/boingo-closes-career-with-a-fitting-farewell|title=Boingo Closes Career with a Fitting 'Farewell...'|date=April 26, 1996|website=[[Deseret News]]|accessdate=November 29, 2021}}</ref> ending on Halloween night by playing more than 44 songs during a 4-hour set that went past midnight.<ref>{{cite news|last=Hochman|first=Steve|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1995-11-02-ca-64090-story.html|title=Oingo Boingo Bids Warm and Emotional Farewell|date=November 2, 1995|newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]]|accessdate=November 29, 2021}}</ref> As with all of their live shows, the setlist included songs from across the band's large discography, many of which were given new arrangements.

Several of the tracks on the CD release were culled from recordings from previous nights in the same tour, meaning the performances occasionally differ between formats. "Just Another Day" and "Nothing to Fear (But Fear Itself)" were included as bonus tracks on the double cassette release.

''Farewell'' is also notable for its inclusion of live performances of several previously unreleased songs, namely "Burn Me Up", "Water", "Piggies" and "Clowns of Death".

==Home video==
A home video of ''Farewell'' was released on VHS, concurrently with the double album, in 1996. The video release featured additional performances that were not included on the CD release: a "Tender Lumplings" video introduction introduces the show; "Nothing to Fear (But Fear Itself)" is played between "I Am the Walrus" and "Piggies"; and "Just Another Day" is played between "Change" and "Stay". Conversely, the performance of "Whole Day Off" from the CD release does not appear on the video release. Additionally, the video release has "Ain't This the Life" positioned between "On the Outside" and "Wild Sex (In the Working Class)", which also differs from the CD version. A half-hour retrospective documentary was also included in the tape set, as well as the promotional music videos for "Little Girls" and "Insanity".

The 1999 compilation album ''[[Anthology (Oingo Boingo album)|Anthology]]'' contained the "Tender Lumplings" intro from the video release, as well as extra concert dialogue on "Insects", "We Close Our Eyes" and "Whole Day Off" that was omitted from the double album.

The concert video was re-released on DVD on September 18, 2001, as a two-disc set. All the bonus features from the VHS release were included on the second disc, although the two music videos were hidden [[Easter egg (media)|Easter eggs]] on the DVD.{{r|g=note|n=n1|r=Actually, the Easter eggs aren't the music videos themselves, which are hidden in the DVD 2 main menu, but the hidden {{abbr|function of navigating|"Left" arrow key}} to them from the [[Remote control|DVD player remote]].{{r|n=dvdreview|r={{cite web|last=Henkel|first=Guido|url=http://www.dvdreview.com/2001/10/oingo-boingo-farewell/|title=Oingo Boingo – Farewell|website=www.dvdreview.com|date=11 October 2001|access-date=7 December 2021}}}}}} Both discs also included animated menus and a hidden discography slideshow.{{r|g=note|n=n2|r=Discography slideshow is a kind of "Easter egg" that can be accessed by pressing the button {{key|→}} on the remote control.{{r|n=dvdreview}}}}

Farewell: Live from the Universal Amphitheatre, Halloween 1995 is a double live album and home video release by American new wave band Oingo Boingo, documenting their final concerts and ending on Halloween night of 1995. The band played a series of five nights,[1] ending on Halloween night by playing more than 44 songs during a 4-hour set that went past midnight.[2] As with all of their live shows, the setlist included songs from across the band's large discography, many of which were given new arrangements.

Several of the tracks on the CD release were culled from recordings from previous nights in the same tour, meaning the performances occasionally differ between formats. "Just Another Day" and "Nothing to Fear (But Fear Itself)" were included as bonus tracks on the double cassette release.

Farewell is also notable for its inclusion of live performances of several previously unreleased songs, namely "Burn Me Up", "Water", "Piggies" and "Clowns of Death".

Home video

[edit]

A home video of Farewell was released on VHS, concurrently with the double album, in 1996. The video release featured additional performances that were not included on the CD release: a "Tender Lumplings" video introduction introduces the show; "Nothing to Fear (But Fear Itself)" is played between "I Am the Walrus" and "Piggies"; and "Just Another Day" is played between "Change" and "Stay". Conversely, the performance of "Whole Day Off" from the CD release does not appear on the video release. Additionally, the video release has "Ain't This the Life" positioned between "On the Outside" and "Wild Sex (In the Working Class)", which also differs from the CD version. A half-hour retrospective documentary was also included in the tape set, as well as the promotional music videos for "Little Girls" and "Insanity".

The 1999 compilation album Anthology contained the "Tender Lumplings" intro from the video release, as well as extra concert dialogue on "Insects", "We Close Our Eyes" and "Whole Day Off" that was omitted from the double album.

The concert video was re-released on DVD on September 18, 2001, as a two-disc set. All the bonus features from the VHS release were included on the second disc, although the two music videos were hidden Easter eggs on the DVD.[note 1] Both discs also included animated menus and a hidden discography slideshow.[note 2]
