At 4:50, Perttu decides he wants more range than the fingerboard gives him, and just goes higher. Then at 5:10 he grabs and pulls the string he's playing off to the side, something I'd never seen a cellist do before.

As an aside, the band didn't realize how much the fans loved this song until the lead up to this concert. They let people write in with what songs they wanted to hear, and not only did Farewell make the cut for this performance, they've started putting it on their set lists. As one of the people who voted for it, I was thrilled.
