Ending on a High Note: The Final Concert (Live at Oslo Spektrum: December 4, 2010) is a live album released in 2011 by Norwegian band a-ha. It was recorded at the Oslo Spektrum, Oslo on the 4th of December, 2010; which was initially planned to be their final concert before their eventual reunion in 2015. The concert on the previous night was also recorded as a back-up. The album contains the entire set from the final concert with the notable exclusions of "The Bandstand" and "Bowling Green", the latter being an Everly Brothers cover the band performed as part of the final encore.
