Farewell to Melbourne
On 20 and 21 November 1996, Crowded House performed two warmup
concerts at the Corner Hotel, Melbourne in preparation
for their last concert at Sydney
Opera House on the 24th. The day before the concerts, the band
gave a press conference and photoshoot at Paul Hester's Elwood beach Tea
Room. I was fortunate enough to be at both concerts, the press conferece,
and the photoshoot, here are some scans of Photographs I took at the conference
and photoshoot.
