HomeMonday, September 20, 2010 Nostalgia filled the air last night as Aussie band Powderfinger took to the stage at Sydney’s Entertainment Centre for their final farewell tour.In their 11th show of the Sunsets Tour, Powderfinger did not disappoint the packed Sydney audience – returning to the stage for two encores and energetic performances of favourites such as My Happiness, Passenger and These Days.Bernard Fanning paid homage to Sydney venues such as Glebe’s Forest Lodge, the Annandale Hotel and the Metro for all their support throughout the band’s 21 years playing together.Guitarist Darren Middleton also delighted audiences with his voice, giving Fanning a break to jump behind the keyboard.As the sun set last night on a band that has been a permanent fixture of Australia’s music scene for more than 20 years, Powderfinger managed to keep their captive audience enthralled.Fanning suggested the Powderfinger days were not over just yet – with a Powderfinger movie aptly titled Powderfinger – the Movie to be released.Whether or not we will see such a film, last night was the end of an era – a band that will be remembered as the stalwarts of the music festival scene and whose hits will no doubt be played for many years to come, where we will raise our beers and reminisce on the good old days of Powderfinger.The decision to end the group, which formed in Brisbane in 1989, was mutual with all members feeling the time was right to move on to other projects.Their manager, Paul Piticco, would not let slip what projects these might be when interviewed in August.With 23 shows to go, Powderfinger’s last show in Sydney is set for November 6 at Acer Arena Stadium.The final ever show for the highly acclaimed band is set for November 13 in Brisbane.
