Comment
This is FAR's 2nd to last show ever and the last one to be documented video or audio wise to my knowledge. Shot from the balcony but done very well with lots of nice zooms on the band. Watching this show just depresses me because you can fill the band falling apart. There is all of this crazy tension throughout the set. At a couple different times Shaun, John and Chris get up and leave but Jonah wants to keep playing. At one point they all leave and Jonah comes back out to say something about how all they had to look forward to was a 80 drive back home so he was willing to play all night, even without the rest of the band. At this point they come back out and play some more songs. I will get the setlist and a better review of this show up at some point. They played a massive set but you can tel their hearts weren't in it anymore. I have been told by a friend from MPLS who had moved to CA sometime in the mid to late 90's that FAR's last show was actually in Claremont, CA at the Youth Center in December of 98. He was there when the shit really hit the fan.
