A year ago this month, a-ha launched their final world tour in South America. The Ending on a High Note tour was a live celebration of a-ha’s 25 year career, which included stops in 63 cities in 21 countries, and culminated in four concerts in their home town of Oslo last December. The band’s last ever live concert took place on December 4, 2010, and was recorded for release on DVD.

BD tracklist:

The Sun Always Shines On TV
Move To Memphis
The Blood That Moves The Body
Scoundrel Days
The Swing Of Things
Forever Not Yours
Stay On These Roads
Manhattan Skyline
Hunting High And Low
We’re Looking For The Whales
Butterfly, Butterfly (The Last Hurrah)
Crying In The Rain
Minor Earth, Major Sky
Summer Moved On
I’ve Been Losing You
Foot Of The Mountain
Cry Wolf
Analogue
The Living Daylights
Take On Me

[The BD] will include a documentary and a gallery of photos by Stian Andersen.

The first confirmed release date is April 1 for Germany and Norway; the rest of the world will follow soon after (full release schedule still to be confirmed). There will be an NTSC version available for fans in North America and Japan as well.

*Please note the Bluray version will likely come out on April 8 or 15 – we will post an update when we have more information.

A-ha played four farewell concerts in their hometown, Oslo. The first homecoming farewell show was November 30th. I attended the three last ever a-ha concerts: December 2nd, 3rd and 4th 2010. I rate the December 2nd and 3rd concerts 8/10, and the very last maybe a 9/10, as they gave a bit more the last night, and Morten sang even better on Scoundrel Days!

I highly encourage even the most casual a-ha fan to buy this concert film!

I do not believe the concert film to only have material from December 4th. December 3rd had the motorized camera dolly running on tracks behind the drumkit between the one side and the other side of the stage. On December 4th it was at the front of the stage, running along the crowd barrier. The crane camera was in the center-right area of the floor on December 3rd and on the front left on December 4th. So if the finished concert film has dolly shots from the front and the back of the drumkit, and/or has crane shots from two different positions – which I believe it will have – then the film is cut from at least two shows, the December 3rd and the December 4th show.

In addition to the camera dolly and the crane camera, they had numerous big camera rigs near the audio mixing desk, and there might have been handheld cameras and other fixed cameras too. And they most likely stored footage coming off the cameras feeding the video wall for all the Oslo shows.

Performers of the second best Bond theme of the 80's!

Crimson King · 03-15-2011, 12:33 PM

I only know two of their tunes, "The Living Daylights" and of course "Take On Me"

Haha, was there not just a couple of Bond movies in the 80's?

I love the song, and a-ha really knew how to perform this song live, literally leaving the audience breathless!

goodstuff · 03-15-2011, 01:22 PM

Actually there were five Bonds in the 80's. The 90's only had three. I'd put the Aha song behind For Your Eyes Only and A View To A Kill

AaronSCH · 03-15-2011, 02:40 PM

The sad truth is that A-ha is thought to be a "one hit wonder" here in the U.S. I have purchased all nine of their studio discs via import and its a shame they never got the full support of Warner Bros. Music here in the U.S. They were so much more than a relic of MTV and the 80s. I owned the DVD of "A-Ha - Live at Vallhall - Homecoming (2001)" and wish I had never sold it (It now costs a small fortune if you can find a Region 1 copy). I'll be picking up this disc if it is region free.

I still own my copy of Live at Vallhall

I too hope the bluray is region free.

Yes!!! The best being Duran Duran.

Cool to see Norwegian bands releasing Blu-ray's. The DeLillos Blu-ray looks awesome, so I have high hopes for this one.

It would seem the version sold at Amazon.com is region free.

He still can. Although a-ha's best live period in the 2000's was 2005–2007, they're still very good!

If it's sold at Amazon then it has to be region free and I'll get it there. Slightly more expensive than Amazon UK but I will get it in a day or two.

kdo · 05-04-2011, 04:30 AM

Yes, according to all sources, this disc is in fact region free. I'm still waiting for mine to arrive within the next couple of days, but once it does, I'll gladly confirm its playability in Region A (if someone else hasn't already).

Dubstar · 05-04-2011, 01:24 PM

watched some of the disc last night on my LG player - and yes it's region A.

ManUtd · 05-06-2011, 04:50 AM

This BD has great audio and video. Their songs teleported me to my teen years.

BTW, I got my copy from Amazon and as far as I could tell this is a European release (has a fat case like other Euro BDs) so I guess there is only one version and it's region-free.

I agree!

Very happy with the quality of this disc...And yes, it is a region free Universal Studios European import...After watching the disc and realizing the size of the crowd, I'm so glad I was able to see them at one of their more intimate concerts in Chicago...
