Farewell is the second live album released by Christian rock band Petra. It was released in 2005. A DVD of the concert was released in 2006.
This is the band's second live album, and it was recorded during the band's Farewell tour in Franklin, Tennessee on October 4, 2005.
The concert features guest appearances by two former members of the band: singer Greg X. Volz and keyboardist John Lawry.
The DVD version of the concert includes the same track listing as the CD. As for the special features, it includes an interview with John Schlitt, Greg X. Volz and John Lawry. The interview includes clips of another interview with band founder Bob Hartman. There are also fan interviews as they arrive the concert, and an interview to producer Peter Furler.
Another special feature is the band's rehearsal before the concert.
There were three songs that didn't make it into the album or DVD. They were "Judas' Kiss", "Lord I Lift Your Name on High" and "C-H-R-I-S-T-I-A-N". The first two were cut to save space, while the latter wasn't intended to be in the CD. "Just something for fun we threw in" as Hartman said. During one of the takes of Hartman's guitar solo, he broke a string. While he was fixing it, Paul Simmons delivered an impromptu drum solo which was also cut from the album and DVD. As the president of Inpop Records said "That was really spontaneous, if you remember... We did not get a clean run at it."
The live recordings of "Judas' Kiss" and "Lord, I Lift Your Name on High" eventually appeared on Bob Hartman and John Schlitt's album, performing as II Guys from Petra, Vertical Expressions.
