The Living Proof Tour, more famously known as The Farewell Tour, after a while known as The Never Can Say Goodbye Tour, was Cher’s final career concert tour.

Contents

[edit] History

The farewell tour began on Friday, June 14, 2002 at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto and ended on Saturday, April 30, 2005 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. The tour which simultaneously added dates finally concluded after 325 concerts at the Hollywood Bowl where Cher had made her first appearance in concert back in 1966 with Sonny Bono.

The tour was initially used to promote her 2001/2002 album Living Proof, but then extended far beyond the usual promotional period.

On Thursday, November 7, 2002 while on tour, Cher recorded one of her shows at the AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami, Florida so it could be broadcasted later on April 2003 on the NBC network. As a result of good public viewing ratings, a DVD was released later that year entitled Cher: The Farewell Tour Live in Miami which won Cher her first Emmy Award, after previously being nominated for one earlier in 2000 for her recorded show, Cher: Live in Concert. A CD was also released from that performance, Live! The Farewell Tour.

After the deadly and destructive 26 December 2004 Asian Tsunami natural disaster, Cher donated the earnings of one of her shows which took place in Sacramento, California on January 14, 2005.

Traveling to over 20 countries, Cher made an appearance in such places as the United States, Canada, Mexico, United Kingdom and the rest of Europe and the major countries in Oceania such as Australia and New Zealand. The world wide tour quickly attracted fans, making it her best and most successful tour.

The Farewell Tour was Cher's most economically successful tour by far, grossing a total of $192.5 million through 273 concerts. However, Cher announced on her last concert that her last show was actually the 325th of the extended, renamed tour.

The 2007 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records determined Cher's tour as being the highest-grossing one for any female artist. However, in September 2006, Billboard awarded the same designation to Madonna's 2006 Confessions Tour, which grossed $194.8 million in only 60 performance dates. Billboard's calculation of Cher's grosses was based on the smaller 273-concert announcement; if the additional 52 shows are included, the total revenue for the Cher tour would exceed Madonna's by a wider margin.

The total number of tickets sold was 3,265,600.

A video montage is played which displays Cher's lifelong work. The show begans with Cher singing her opening song, a cover of U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For", while being brought down on her chandelier. Once she is down she removes her giant fur coat, ends "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" and continues on by singing "Song for the Lonely" and "A Different Kind of Love Song". The show is then introduced by her and following her famous "follow this you bitches," quote her speech is done and a tour only segment begins as opposed to up to now which was also a tour. "Gayatri Mantra" is an Hindu mantra which is used when Cher changes costumes. After half the song is played Cher comes out on a giant elephant.

When this act is complete, Cher comes out from behind the elephant and sings "All or Nothing". Following this song an acrobat act is on session. The acrobat act leads to the introduction of "We All Sleep Alone" and "I Found Someone". A new act featuring the dancers in cat-like costumes (continuing the animal themery) begins, this leads to "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)". A Sonny and Cher video montage medley of "Baby Don't Go", "The Beat Goes On" and "I Got You Babe" is played. As the Sonny & Cher medley ends a new medley starts, in it Cher sings her 1970s solo material, "All I Really Want to Do" (the Bob Dylan song), "Half-Breed", "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves" and "Dark Lady". The show continues with a display of the Cher & Friends video.

A disco dance sequence begins which introduces "Take Me Home". When she is done the dance sequence continues until she comes out again and sings "The Way of Love". Two videos are played a movie career medley and the Cher presentation of the classic West Side Story. Cher comes out and sings "After All", "Just Like Jesse James", "Heart of Stone" and "The Shoop Shoop Song (It's in His Kiss)". The quote "attack video" is played which leads to "Strong Enough", "If I Could Turn Back Time" as the penultimate and then the immortal "Believe" as the final number of the night.

Total time of the show was in the vicinity of two hours, although Cher was not on stage for every minute of that, due to the aforementioned costume changes. While different legs of the show sometimes inserted different songs, the general pattern of presentation remained the same.

[edit] Controversy and criticism

While touring in Oceania, Cher said a little too much when she referred to Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez and Jessica Simpson as little hoes. She later said, "I was at a concert and it was so exciting they're like, 'Boo, boo,' and then I said, 'Oh, they're a bunch of little hoes aren't they?!' Yes. But don't you know, two of them were really angry and didn't think it was a joke. No, no, I'm not gonna mention any names. Well, all right but, big butt! Yes. She was a little pissed off. But I don't blame her. She doesn't understand that I'm just kidding when I call her a little hoe, you know. It's just my sense of humor."

In response, Britney Spears was reported by the British paper Daily Mirror to have said, "When I'm her age I hope I'm half as successful as her. But I hope I look a lot better!"

There was some criticism that the tour's setlist was very similar to that of the previous 1999-2000 Do You Believe? Tour, although the costumes and staging were all new. [1]

[edit] Setlist

Set lists were mostly the same within a leg, but were then adjusted and changed when a new leg started, to compensate for regional differences in what songs were hits and what weren't, and also to adjust for the ongoing dynamics of the show.
