THE first of three massive Perth crowds said their goodbyes to Powderfinger last night in the Supreme Court Gardens.
The band rewarded any devoted fans, some of whom might have been present at their first ever WA gig at the Planet Nightclub, with a selection of greatest hits.
From the flag-waving anthemia of These Days to the slightly schmalzy sentimentalism of My Happiness, not since Crowded House has a band been better suited to an emotionally charged farewell show.
