Thank you for sharing this. It's amazing listening to the songs, only CH and Neil and Tim, and families... Bed bound for 15 years or so. It's enchanting... Their music, songs -- no, chamber music. That's probably inaccurate...but 'fills my cup', 'where ever there is comfort there is pain'. Thank for posting this glorious music❤❤ 28:16

@@torrence7890 Such a hugely talented family and so much great music between them. Glad you enjoyed the video. Stay well. Thanks for commenting.

[@BashoStrikes]

I hadn't thought of these guys for years. The first time I saw this revival group I told my wife I thought the guitar player was Neil's son. She wondered how I knew, because I'd not read it or heard of it, but I felt it by the way Neil looked at him during play. So we looked it up and I was pleased to know he and the drummer are his sons. A father's love for his son has a unique look and there's nothing else like it.

[@woopteedeewoopteedye]

I'm so glad Froom is there, he was always my favorite keyboardist with Crowded House, studio or stage, his presence and style really fit well with Neil's creativity. Long live Crowded House and you all.😊

Mark Hart is the best, much more suited for the role!

[@Musicandguitars2745]

I was a member of the fan club back in the 80s and got some wonderful goodies from you in the mail, including some beautiful signed Christmas cards and other cool stuff. I ALMOST got the chance to meet you and say hello when I saw the Split Enz reuninon tour back in the late 90s in Brisbane. You were super busy at the merch table so I didn't want to bother you. Keep up the great work, Peter! You are such a huge part of the Finn legacy now.

Well done Peter cheers. i met them in back in 77 (Whyalla) when Neil had just joined the band; a mate and i went to their hotel room after the show and asked for autographs which they gave on their recent album dizrythmia my mate Richard had purchased. Part of the show included Magic tricks. i saw them at a pub in Cairns later in 81 and they had morphed into a power house of energy so awesome i couldn't believe it.

What i meant is that i met them when Neil was in Split Enz.

[@Peter_LiveMusic]

@@djjimenez1524 I was taken with Split Enz right from the beginning after seeing them on Count Down. I've still got their first album somewhere. Neil's addition to the band was a pivotal development for them musically. It's been a long and very interesting musical journey for him since. Who would ever have imagined him being a member of Fleetwood Mac? And now he's back with a new Crowded House album and this massive world tour. I can't help wondering where to next for him. Thanks for sharing your memory. Much appreciated.

[@Peter_LiveMusic]

The new songs are great and they fitted in really well with the classics on the night. I don't usually video so many songs. I'd seen the setlist from the night before and there were a couple of numbers I really wanted to capture. But while they basically played the same songs, they were in a different order. I'd start recording, hoping that the next number would be one that I wanted and when it turned out not to be, I often ended up recording it anyway. So these aren't exactly the songs I'd hoped for but I'm very happy with the collection anyway. Sorry, this is all I have. If you get the chance, try and see them on this tour. You won't be sorry.

[@Peter_LiveMusic]

Neil had COVID back in April and the band had to postpone some of their Australian dates. Crowded House has since completed their European tour. The American tour has been postponed because Neil's son, drummer Elroy, has lower back pain. He's undergoing medical treatment and has been advised he'll need several weeks to recover. Having experienced back pain myself, I know it's not something to be lightly dismissed. If you can hang onto your ticket and go to the rescheduled show, I can assure you that you won't be disappointed. The band sounds brilliant.

[@Peter_LiveMusic]

This was by no means the full concert. If it is a little too nostalgic, then that probably has more to do with my choice of songs than theirs. But having said that, after more than ten years not playing live, I'm sure some nostalgia did creep into what they played, and it was appreciated by much of the audience. There were however, several songs off the new album, including a 'live debut' at this show.

[@clvnst66]

Excited to have tix to the Nashville show, but hope they get their (in-ear?) monitors tweaked by then. So much off-melody, actually off-note, singing throughout this show, and not just from the senior Finns. For this extraordinary band that we love for playing and singing that's intentional and true, anything that comes off sounding -- sorry -- lazy seems discouraging. Have seen plenty of (older) concert recordings, where Neil & Co. seemed to hit a helluva lot more intended notes. Or is it something besides and more difficult to address than weak monitors? LOVE Crowded House. Harboring what I hope aren't unrealistically high expectations here.

[@Peter_LiveMusic]

A couple of points, the first being any problems with sound quality is much more likely to be due to my inexpensive, non-professional recording equipment. But what do you expect from audience members videoing from their seats? Such videos are never great and sound suffers greatly. Personally, I rarely watch such videos. I probably wouldn't even watch my own except I was there so they have a very personal appeal. Secondly, to expect any 64 year old to be still singing as well as he did 35 years ago is just a tad unrealistic. If you are setting yourself up with such high expectations you'll probably be disappointed when you see them. Maybe stay home and listen to some of those early albums. But that said, I thought on the night, in the auditorium, the band and Neil sounded great. And I've since read plenty of other reports and reviews to know that I am far from being alone. Anyway, I'll be interested to know what you think after you see them. Please drop by and give me an update. I do hope you enjoy them. I hope my video hasn't put you off too much.
