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.

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".

All tracks are written by Danny Elfman, except "I Am the Walrus" by John Lennon and Paul McCartneyA home video of Farewell was released on VHS, concurrently with the double album, in 1996.

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.

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.
