Hey guys, Ross from Redfern here. So we've made it to the end of Neil Finn week and I'm so happy. 🤗 I'm glad you guys had fun. I'm feeling the love. Hopefully one day I'll see you at Pug Ranch! 😍
Thank you for helping us on our journey. Just a great set of tunes and story to go with it. Absolutely the reason we do this. Not possible with out your support and help. Thank you.
Thank you for putting this week together Ross. Makes me need to go back to my old Neil Finn/Crowded House playlist!
"Trying to catch the deluge in a paper cup" just another beautifully crafted lyric
I've heard him say in interviews that that is a homage to John Lennon as the paper cup is a reference to 'Across the Universe'
It amazes me how many Aussies and Kiwis really did make it big without everyone realizing it.
And how entwined they all are with the worlds music scene with other artists.
we are all earthlings! Cheers Alex
the sad thing is the amount of the better Bands and singers that didn't make it overseas is criminal
I think every person from NZ & Au know every word to this track & Better Be Home Soon.
Split Enz, especially Neil and Tim Finn, are one of my longest lasting Musical heroes. Since over 40 years.
Bundle of Joy of an upload. Landslide of emotions and I dare not dream it's over. Much love fellas
I live in the town Neil and Tim Finn grew up in- Te Awamutu NZ. The town name features in the Crowded House song- Mean to me. Thanks guys for these 5 reviews of Neil, absolutely a legend, and glad I got to meet him once and hear him sing at a local awards ceremony.
Wow 😮 Neil Finn is not only a legend in his own right but he enhances other performers by playing with them , it’s been a fantastic week boys , Neil week 2 has to be , I feel 😊
Couldn't agree more! Thanks Alex
In the latest incarnation of Crowded House it is Neil's son Liam Finn on guitar, and Neil's son Elroy on drums. Neil and bassist Nick Seymore have been with Crowded House all the way. If anyone has not seen the Crowded House reunion concert from 2016 from The Sydney Opera House, you absolute must. It's just magical, with Tim Finn joining on the songs from the Woodface album. One of my all time favourite album.
Ex-pat Kiwi here. Lived twenty five years in the UK, and THIS is the song that makes me homesick, rather than Better Be Home Soon. Memories of it coming out in 1986 back home in my youth. Gorgeous.
Not sure if someone else has mentioned this but the reason so many young people know this song is because Miley Cyrus & Ariana Grande covered it twice live, the last time was at the Ariana Concert in Manchester for the victims of her tragic concert bombing at the Arena, it of course has also been covered by hundreds of other performers and when Neil was asked for comment on Miley singing his song (the first time) he just said he was honored that the song has had such a life of it's own, sums him up really just an amazing musician & a really decent guy.
@@anonimushbosh I wasn't implying anything, I was stating he was genuinely thrilled by Miley performing the song but I used the words he used, there was a lot more to the interview but I can't really see how anyone can misconstrue the meaning intended in the statement.
They do an incredible version of this.
Really loving Neil Finn week. He really is an amazing songwriter and I see why us aussies tried to claim him as our own lol. He lived in Melbourne was our only excuse I apologise to our NZ cousins he is a proud Kiwi. Thanks again lads for your show I is wonderful reliving my youth.
Thanks Alex
I was lucky enough to see Neil Finn with Fleetwood Mac in Melbourne and this is taking me right back to that moment. Still getting the same chills up my spine now from this performance right now.
That must have been an amazing experience!
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart......
Pure Neil Finn.
And LOVE the duet with Stevie, very special. Thank you for sharing this music around the world.
Superb finish. I wondered if his stint in Fleetwood Mac would appear.
Great effort, Ross, Chris, and thanks to The Thamesmen for delivering it all.
Neil Finn Week 2 is entirely feasible. Still so, so many top tracks that are doable. Strait Old Line, It’s Only Natural, Better Be Home Soon, Message To My Girl, Poor Boy, Weather With You, plus many more.
Ross from Redfern better step up!
Neil Finn was named the greatest lyricist by Paul McCartney, I'm in total agreement.
Saw him with Fleetwood Mac, (Sans Lindsay Buckingham) another unforgettable show. I've always considered him a poet who writes exquisite songs. 💙
Perfect. Take care
Watching you two so inthralled with this song I don’t know how you don’t have a tear in your eye. I can see & feel your emotions you need too let it happen. We feel it too. Love the Thamesmen🧡
One of the best renditions I’ve heard. ❤
You have to do another week - ‘Fall at your Feet’ from the Woodface album. You cannot overlook this one!
I need two lives and more time thanks Alex
Thank You for Sharing the Talents of this Great Artist!
He is Beloved & Respected here in Australia.
A Wonderful Showcase from you Both! ❤️
Our pleasure! Thanks Alex
That was so moving .. so uniting at Glastonbury..and oh boy .Stevie Nick's has a very powerful voice still.Just beautiful.
Neil Finn is indeed amazing. I went back through and figured out I need to start with every album Crowded House and Neil Finn ever did solo, then cut down from there. His sense of how a song should sound is something else. And it's not just simple pop melodies and ballads. He tries crazily weird stuff that just works.
The key thing I've learned this week is what a good guitarist Neil Finn is...
didn't spot that, you're right. Cheers alex
8:53 Classic Rock/Pop move.. The classic "Turnaround" based in the verse chords, (basically) played in reverse order.. Kids love it haha
I’ve done that before. It’s so works. Cheers Alex.
Oh & Landslide is off the 1975 album called Fleetwood Mac. The 1st album with Nicks & Buckingham.
Thank you Thamesmen, for showcasing one of our favourite Kiwis, it's been wonderful to see your reactions and hope you continue the Neil Finn, Tim Finn, Split Enz, Crowded House and ENZSO journey because it is a worthy journey that pleases the heart, mind and soul in equal measure. I hope you blokes make it down here to good old New Zealand, you are welcome to come down and chill, Kia Ora!!
Can you pick us up at the airport? Thanks Alex
Possibly Crowded House's most famous song and it's easy to see why....it's beautiful.....and crowds just love it, it's so good to sing to.....and this Glastonbury crowd was no exception. Brilliant!
Now George and Alex, when you commented on your 'homesickness', it made me think, 'why on earth do you both live in America?'. I assume work took you there, or American women? Please explain....if it's not a rude question. BTW, we Aussies and Kiwi's all knew Neil was with Fleetwood Mac!😅 I have really enjoyed Neil Finn week!
The USA is huge and fun. Our entire social group up and travelled. We have friends settled everywhere and now only a few in the UK. Way more adventure and opportunity, when you are young, elsewhere. As we get older and slower we yearn back for the homeland.....
@@TheThamesmen Thank you, great reasons!
The official video to this song is also a classic, this is also amazing:)
I feel that Neil is like Bob Dylan. Never wants to stop performing.
Remember when bands wrote and performed music with nuance and dynamics and tempo and thoughtful, poetic lyrics? Beautiful melodies and careful arrangements? I do, because my late wife loved Split Enz, and adored these guys and we saw them many times when she was still alive. Interestingly (to me) when they split up way back, Seymour and Hester formed a band with a guy I went to university with. He has the same name I do, which is....something Irish. The Band is called Tarmac Adam. look 'em up and see what you think.
Another lovely note to this is its kind if part of a Crowded House "rebirth" of sorts. Tragically, they lost the original drummer and kind of fell apart for a time.
With the original bass player, Finn rebuilt the band, which is this line up here.
I'm not sure if it's about but here in Aus we do a concert in the Opera house forecourt now and then. They're put on to celebrate great bands and singers.
Paul Kelly and Crowded house have both done it, they are amazing celebratory love ins, and though no where near the size, the level of emotion and magic is the same.
Thanks for giving Neil an airing he's done so much including some spectacular solo stuff but my favorite live performance is one nill live
Fantastic week Ross - I concur with your sentiments boys.
Great as this all was - a little disappointed you couldn't finish it off with 'Better be Home Soon' as the bonus - bonus track.
Keep up the great work all.
Need a week tow...ROSS?
Watching Neil trade lyrics with Stevie struck me that the two of them actually have a similar writing style. As opposed to storytellers like Paul Kelly, Neil snd Stevie like to paint with unusual imagery, where you might not be able to exactly understand the story behind the words but you get the emotion of it perfectly.
Spot on! Cheers Alex
I think this is bang on, and why so many people connect with Neil's songs. I'm pretty sure every Kiwi has an emotive response to at least one Neil Finn song. They evoke emotions and memories, and they stick in your consciousness.
When Mick Fleetwood asked Neil to join FM for this tour, he also had Stevie ask Mike Campbell from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Mike played the solo electric part on “Landslide” in this video.
Oh nice thanks for sharing
Two all-time favourite bands, two all-time favourite songs. You really smashed through the raised bar with this show, guys 😁👍
Cannot leave a Neil Finn week behind without acknowledging former Crowded House & Split Enz drummer and funny man Paul Hester, RIP 🙏 ... plus former Crowded House drummer Peter Jones, RIP🙏
The beat goes on... 😥
Did not know that. Respect! Cheers Alex
It’s the mundane, the everyday. the lyrics are born from keen observation and spirit of place. The music follows the lyrics because uniqueness is ill defined. McCartney-esq.
Neil and his boys this time around.
Every backpacker that visited Australia probably knows this song.
" Now I'm towing my car "......wouldn't be the first time !
Great reaction guys - loved it. Alex - no better reflection on your comments than learning/realising that's Neil's son Liam playing guitar...
Thats ACE!
Once again I did not notice that I know the artist before. I knew this song and always loved it, but did not know it was Neil Finn. Thanks Ross, Chris and Thamesmen for a great week.
Thanks for listening
One of the best songs ever. A few years ago when FM was touring a lot of people were upset that Lindsey Buckingham wasn't with them. I was thrilled that Neil Finn and Mike Campbell were with them instead!
Glad you liked it - Be well and have a fab weekend. Cheers Alex
Thanks for the reaction guys. You need to react to Stan Walker singing a cover of this song. He is also from New Zealand and has no stomach which was removed due to cancer but that hasn’t stopped him. Stan’s vocals are special
I do love the original official video for 'Don't Dream it's Over.' It's classy and arty, but I also understand why we went the Glastonbury clip. Regarding the politics of Finn's touring with Fleetwod Mac...officially it was because Lindsay Buckingham had arranged a solo tour and wanted the band to wait until he had completed such before the Mac tour began. This was deemed to far. More than likely it was because Stevie had had enough. Rehearsals were had in Hawaii. Mick Fleetwood brought in Neil Finn. Stevie brought in Mike Campbell from Tom Pettys Heartbreakers (long history in that one) Buckingham fans were pissed off bad. Personally...I've liked all of Fleetwood Mac's line ups all the way back to Peter Green. With the sad passing of Christine McVie Mick Fleetwood has said that is the end. He can not see the band together again.
I think Mac are now done. Thanks and be well. Alex
If he had done nothing else in his career he would still be a legendary songwriter for this alone - the fact that he wrote things like "Message To My Girl" and "I Walk Away" which are arguably better than this blows me away. You really need to take a look at him and Eddie Vedder covering "Throw Your Arms Around Me" sometime - it was by a band called Hunters & Collectors whose lead singer Mark Seymour's brother Nick is the bassist for Crowded House.
I will check when I get time. Thanks for being here and have a fab weekend. Thanks Alex
Aww nuts, was hoping it was going to be Men At Works' Overkill song, LOL
They have one? Awesome
I have never seen this video. What a wonderful rendition of Don't Dream it's Over. Perfect. This was the perfect way to finish the week off.
Ross and Chris, a brilliant choice of videos and great supporting information. You have expanded my knowledge of Neil Finn greatly.
Alex and George, as usual you guys are the perfect mix of knowledge, intelligence and naughty, childish behavior. I love it.
Keep the good stuff coming.
2 vids in a night. You spoil us. Well done Ross. I'll buy you a beer in Balmain at the Merton if you're ever there!!
He's the one with the Split Enz tee shirt on!
Great job Ross on the curating this weeks deep dive into Neil Finn.
And a great song to finish the week off with lads.
Thanks Kaz
My son Alex loves Crowded House-he’s 34 - he plays guitar with his little boy of 3 yrs old-Sebastian. I could see George’s want full expression of the Glastonbury scene
Thanks for the bonus-magic 🪄🇦🇺
That's so cool!!! Go Alex - Be well and thanks, Alex
Thanks guy's for this week as an old roadie it brings back great memories..
Glad you enjoyed it
There is a Pearl Jam cover of Split ends I got you out there as well. Think it stems from Eddie vender being saved by a Finn in a surfing accident.

Great reaction and insights , I grew up with Split enz and Crowded house so I’m glad you guys feel the way you do
Awesome! Thank you! Cheers Alex
love the bonus !!!
To get that recognition from Mick Fleetwood is pretty special. Thunderbirds are go!
I fully agree!!!!! Cheers Alex
I saw Fleetwood Mac with Neil in Melbourne and loved it. No one is Lindsay Buckingham but he didn't try to be, the show was great. So sad to hear about Christine McVie.
Neil and Mike Campbell from Tom Petty joined Mac..
Wonderful song. ❤️❤️❤️
Fabulous ending to a very enjoyable week! Thank you Ross, Chris, Alex, and George!
Our pleasure!
Gosh that was wonderful and what a treat to get not only Neil, but the boho queen herself, I love Stevie. Fabulous week, loved every minute, I really hope you get to do some more Neil Finn, but if not, thank you so much, for this week. ❤
Best concert crowded house had was their farewell concert in Sydney by the Opera House/Sydney Harbor Bridge. Packed with people for miles. The atmosphere was on 100x better level than this. This is quite subdued.
Absolutely agree.
Neil Finn once said that he was influenced by The Beatles with his songwriting style and it shows. His delivery has a hint of George Harrison. High praise.
This song of Neil's flew out the roof after is was used in the Steven King epic TV series The Stand.
I really like your week specials. Keep this format going, it works.
Many thanks. The weeks are submitted by our subscribers. Cough cough hint.
The World is going to be in a good place if the youth in the crowd are any indication. Hey now.
Landslide has a whole lot of history. Stevie wrote the lyrics when she was at a real low point in life. Buckingham and Nicks recorded it on their album before joining Fleetwood Mac.
Really.... Wow
@@TheThamesmen Sorry, old guy brain fart :-) I just checked my copy, Landslide was not on the album. It was after Buckingham Nicks, and before they joined Fleetwood Mac. Lindsey was off touring with Don Everly and she was questioning everything, life, music career, relationships.
You missed that the bearded guitarist at Glastonbury is Neil’s older son, Liam. After success with the band Betchadupa that he co-founded in 1997, Liam officially joined Crowded House in 2020.
He, his brother Elroy, and Neil produced some really enjoyable “at home” videos during lockdown, as did Crowded House - even with members stuck in 3 separate countries (NZ, OZ, US)

Thanks Linda - we did. I will check the link when I get time. Thanks Alex
Thanks for doing this week, Alex. I hope you enjoyed it as much as we viewers did!
@@lindascott6902 I loved it!
Wow dream come true, Stevie Nicks and Neil Finn singing together! ❤
Brilliant!
Hi you must do another week so many more great songs, Private Universe, A hole in the river and I see red!!!
I will try! - Thanks and be well. Alex
hey now fella,s you might not react to covers but stan walker( a fellow new zealander) does a brilliant cover of this
Thanks. Cheers Alex.
Miley Cyrus and Ariana Grande sang this at the one love Manchester concert 2017
Great week guys. Thoroughly enjoyed this.
Thanks and be well. Alex
Wondering if the blocking was for the film clips at the beginning rather than the songs themselves. Still I’m delighted that they have finally been unblocked and are available on YT
Nope... They cleared
I've been lucky enough to see Fleetwood Mac in Melbourne a few times with Lindsay Buckingham and Christine McVie and Neil Finn and Mike Campbell from (Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers) all the concerts were fantastic and I even got a lift from Split Ends after they done a concert on the Rye Foreshore in the seventies first time I ever got stoned I fell out of the Combie on Nepean Hwy
Rumors was/is an awesome album
Exactly
Definitely worth looking at some more NZ music. I really find (as an aussie) they've got some of the most creative and individual music in the world. Oz has some good stuff, but the Kiwis seem to be more original and creative.
You do know subscribers create the curated weeks? cough cough - Cheers Alex
Loved this!!
So did we!
Goosebumps.
Thank you boys it's been awesome
Thanks Alex
😊❤
Great week, One of my favourite kiwi's
Its hard to believe that the song was released in 1986! landslide must have been mid 70s - perhaps 1975.
It’s funny how time and place can have such an effect on how you hear a song. On one hand you have an artist who’s songs were not played on the FM channels that I listened to to build my musical library through out my life. Then you have the opportunity to hear him play with an absolute musical icon in Fleetwood Mac and it gives you a greater appreciation for their musical talent.. I still don’t think I’d buy an album but I definitely would not reach out to change the channel as I would have in the past. The down fall of place and time.
Rick. dude, you are so open minded. Thats a rare thing these days and also to then write it, absolutely brilliant. You're the best Rick and have a fab weekend - Cheers Alex
@@TheThamesmen Alex/George just watched Traveling Band CCR at Royal Albert Hall. If you were asked what is Rock and Roll just show them this video!!!!!!!!
If you have some time it on Netflix. CCR had a 15 minute standing ovation
Cheers
If you were to buy an album, buy Crowded House “Together Alone”. You won’t be sorry.
@@danielleethier4152 thanks I’ll check it out.
Would’ve been unthinkable without this beautiful song, it always makes me feel quite emotional ❤. Such a long time favourite.
Back in the day I used to have a cassette of this & other songs from live shows taped off the tv & I’d listen to them on the one hour train commute every single day for over a year. Those songs had longevity because the writing was great and they were the real deal. A wonderful week of wonderful songs! 🥂
Be well
Aah love it! His best song ever, but that's just my opinion. Always gives me goosies. It's also just my opinion that Neil was a perfect choice to join Fleetwood Mac.
Did you know that Susan Boyle covered this song? Didn't do too badly either.
Thanks for a great week Alex and George and Ross and Chris 💞
Many thanks and have a fab weekend - Thanks Alex
Wish you guys covered the original band members.
we have to bob and weave performances, quality, YT blocking us. it's not so simple. Be well Cheers Alex
Psychology 101... Creative Sleep. 💭💭💭
How free are we when we dream? The barriers of time, the limitations of space, the laws of logic and other constraints are all swept away and we are Gods of our own fleeting creations.
Understand a person’s dreams and you understand the person.
Because what we create is uniquely ours, we should place central importance on our dreams.
We can learn to use our minds in a different way. We can deliberately create dreams to solve specific problems.
Because you program the subject matter beforehand, you interpret them differently - with spectacular results. Although this limits the spontaneity of your dreaming, you gain a significant freedom, greater control over your life.
When you interpret a dream you pre-program, in addition to gaining insights into the pathology of our psyche, you find solutions to everyday problems.
Be convinced of the existence of a Higher level of Intelligence, revealing itself when we dream, and of its beautiful ability to communicate with you.
He joined fleetwood mac? Bizarre...
That was really good with fleetwood mac. Nice to see Mick praising him - and Stevie singing his song. Obviously he's a very humble guy who doesn't take all the praise seriously.
well bigger stage and honor - Cheers Alex
Did you catch this one by Ian Moss and Don Walker playing at Andrew Durant's memorial concert? Andrew played in a band called Stars and wrote this song. He passed away at 25 years old from Melanoma in 1980. So sad. th-cam.com/video/PAB2eFkBsyo/w-d-xo.html
I will. check when we get time. Thanks! Cheers Alex
Lovely performance but for me the Sydney Opera House farewell concert version is better, the emotion in the band and the audience was palpable, I'm not crying you're crying stuff
The Thames TV opening. Makes me p*ss
HA HA Cheers Alex

The Norleans version the better of the two.
If you can get a chance check out Stan Walkers version of this,well worth it!!!
I think that's the worst version I've ever heard of that great song.
Really... I loved it! Cheers Alex
One thing about the Fleetwood Mac shows though, Mick Fleetwood talks too much and his drum solos are boring
