- One of our favourite bands ever on the road in 2022 - let’s meet them and see their gear
Life too short for long TH-cam videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below.
Welcome to the show! This is a massive day for us. Split Enz and Crowded House have played the soundtrack to so much of our lives to date, influencing our understanding of harmony and melody right up there with all the greats of songwriting and performing.
We were thrilled to be able to meet Neil Finn and his son, Liam, during their 2022 Dreamers Are Waiting tour with Crowded House.
In this video - with huge thanks to tech, Marcus Catanzaro - we get a detailed look at the guys’ gear before having a chat with each of them and hearing a few tones. There’s also some fantastic insight to the life of a top-flight tech alongside a brief glimpse into the minds and thoughts of two immensely creative musicians and writers.
We’d like to add a special note of sincere thanks to Marcus and the whole Crowed House crew for being so kind and making us so welcome, especially on a show day where everyone is ON! It is a truly humbling experience.
Enjoy the show!

During the rig rundown I kept expecting John Bohlinger to pop up and say “Hey! Cool Man!”
And what guage strings are those?
😂😂😂
Amp land.
I was just in Nashville and had a Bollinger sighting. He was playing in a cover band at one of the bars on the strip.
“High mileage” 🤣🤣
Not surprising Neil speaks so articulately and has such a way with words knowing the lyrics he writes. What a humble and talented person- Neil and Crowded House are incredible
Fantastic episode. I couldn't say I listen to Neil Finn or Crowded House that much, but I can recall that one of my favourite gigs ever was Neil and Tim Finn at the Union Chapel, Islington in 1995. A mate had tickets and I went along. Great venue, great gig and very engaging musicians. Neil comes across well in any interview.
I've been a fan of NF's music ever since I saw the video for "I Got You" back in the early 80's. He's my favorite songwriter too, and his personality is so genuine and down to earth. I'd love to meet him someday. So glad to see CH continuing on, I think with the addition of Liam, Elroy and Mitchell, that the band is in good hands for as long as they want to go with it. It's a really good lineup and is possibly the best at playing the songs with every detail as was on the records. Hoping to see them back in the USA this year!
Neil is my all time favorite musician. Have seen CH, Neil solo and the 'brothers' tour w/ Tim several times each. As much as I love CH, I think the solo shows were my favorite. Besides being a great songwriter and performing musician, the man is incredibly charming on stage, just really connects w/ the audience.
What an unbelievably edifying rundown...thank you: Marcus Catanzaro and That Pedal Show!
Dan- when he played THAT riff on THAT guitar though 😳. Edge of my seat!! An endless thank you both for doing this, one songwriter to another 🙌
Always loved Crowded House but hadn't fully appreciated what an amazing musician Neil Finn is, or what a very nice down to earth bloke he is (and others in this). Fascinating and fun video, thanks lads.
Thoroughly enjoyed this time! Thank you Paul!
Thank you guys & the incredible Marcus!
Huge Finn fan here and this interview of the gear and with the man himself has me spellbound.
Mick - that camera of yours is so sharp. Well done. What you made here is what I wish Rig Rundowns were. Way to set a standard.
This makes me happy. Thank you. Bless Sony and their nice cameras and lenses!
@@ThatPedalShow And very nicely edited too I might add. Between you and Dan you’ve really set the standard for how well these rig/tour artist interviews can be done.
@@ThatPedalShow The Zv-1 has the beauty mode turned on, it doesn't look that natural. Just in case you guys didn't know.
Agreed ❤
@@ThatPedalShow and 0yp0
This was an all-time great episode - mostly due to the respect and adoration shown to the Finns. It's obvious the level of impact their music has had on Dan, and it was fun to see him be able to experience and share this. Great job, guys!
Neil is the best live singer I’ve ever heard/seen.
Yep, Neil is a proper musician.
No way. You got Crowded House!!!! My favourite band and Neil, my favourite songwriter!
Lucky bastards :-)
This was such a valuable interaction. Neil Finn is the real deal. Legitimate Legend.
I picked up Temple of Low Men when it came out in 88 and I was hooked for life. Thank you for a fantastic episode!
Still a favourite band of mine and just saw them at their recent show in Toronto.
Well done run down of the boards and guitars and amps!
Such a cool video and so special to have Neil and Liam take some time to talk about their gear!
Neil is an extraordinary songwriting talent
Dan like a little kid at Xmas love it
What a lovely episode.
Marcus, Liam and Neil were so generous with their time and their insights.
Thank you.
Hello John, Mick here. Just wanted to amplify your comment. The Crowded House crew and family were astoundingly generous and welcoming. So pro it almost hurts! We are deeply grateful for their time and kindness!
Neil is a true legend and a huge inspiration
Fantastic. Neil is an absolute god to me.. such an inspiration.. could have done with this video 20 years ago ha! Brilliant guys
Liam's solo performance on Letterman is must watch. He's an incredible artist in his own right.
Seven Worlds Collide still one of my favourite musical memories. So thankful I went to that show. Neil's music is a soundtrack to so many of our lives in NZ & Aus. Thanks for the video! Very interesting.
My favorite song writer ever.....Neil's work has staying power...I'm a huge fan of everything he's done and his brother Tim as well...I always feel Neil writes songs for the right reason and it always speaks to me.
One of my musical heroes for 35 years!
Absolutely beautiful. Love Crowded House & seeing those beautiful faces as they ooze passion about music & artistry, we all love. Music is the soul & Crowded House is that of pure soul, magic & an abundance of joy for many people worldwide. Thank you for this glimpse into the Legendary Band Crowded House & for Neil being as awesomely genius & beautiful as always and Liam & Marcus for being fabulous great. Love this🙌
This 56 year old, who bought a Kramer Ferrington the day after seeing Crowded House on the DDIO tour in San Francisco, is completely curled up in a fanboi puddle on the floor. Bless you guys for this.
Thanks Jon! We were pretty messy on the day as well. Hence all the wobbly cam. Thought Dan was actually going to kiss him at one point. HahahhHah
@@ThatPedalShow I bet! Hahaha
Amazing, beautiful. Great job guys. Classic down to earth and humble Kiwis. I grew up in NZ listening to Split Enz, Crowded House etc. Part of my life sound track. Love all the Finns music including Tim as well. Roundhead studio is a great place to visit and work in as well. Often Neil has some of his collection of guitars on hand and they are available to use which is pretty awesome! Though when I was there a few years back most of his gear was out wth Fleetwood Mac.
What an honour for you fellas! Great show. Really loved this vid. Thanks!!
They say that you should never meet your heroes. What a great endorsement that this statement is nonsense. To this day, the best gig musically that I have ever been to, was a Crowded House gig. Loved the video...cheers guys!
This is the most detailed rig rundown Ive ever seen.. good job boys!
Tears in the eyes at the end of this one boys! What an opportunity and a show so we’ll put together! Congrats!
Holy crap, Dan mention knowing Neil Finn in an episode years ago, and I commented, "how about having Neil as a guest?" Thought it would never happen and BAM, here's this amazing video! Neil is one of my all-time heroes too, one of the best pop songwriters since the Beatles, an amazing singer, really solid guitar and keyboard player and all-around really nice guy. I really like Crowded House's latest album too, a few tracks like Start of Something are up there with their best. Thanks guys, loved this one!!
Best video I've seen in a while.
Neil Finn is a genius. IMHO, it won't be long before he's up for a knighthood.
In my experience if you like Crowded House, you like Squeeze and vice versa, so Dan, if you're not familiar with Squeeze, it's about time you were.
I've seen Neil play with Johnny Marr and Roddy Frame, about 20-something years back. My dream would be to see him do a collaboration with Difford & Tilbrook.
The mention of the Sydney Opera House Farewell gig, brings back memories of Paul Hester...
What a treat! I smiled immediately when I saw Neil's vintage Hot Cake - I (along with pretty much every guitarist in NZ in the 70's) had one on the floor. I recently reconnected with Paul and he shot me a Double Hotcake (my old one got lost or 'borrowed' somewhere along the line). Having those 3 different sounds available is really something. I have followed Neil's music since the early days when he opened for the Enz mid-70's in Wellington - his solo vocal and acoustic guitar set was amazing . . . He and Tim have contributed so much to NZ music, certainly an inspiration for us in Schtung when we started out! Thanks to all concerned for such a cool in-depth look at the gear . . . Magnatone for Xmas, then !!! :)
I love it that the guitar tech is quoting you guys from the show
Glad you guys could document this!
There is NO ONE else who can play those Gretsch guitars like Mr. Neil Finn. What a wonderful insight into his and Liam's setups. TPS you knocked it out of the park again.
That was absolutely perfect. Gents, thank you.
That was fantastic, what lovely people. It's clear the source of that beautiful music is Neil's heart and soul. And those pedal boards and guitars were lovely too. Thanks for putting this together and sharing it with us. You captured something really special in this episode, more felt than seen or heard. Bravo!
Yeh man this was a gem , thanks Gents for doing this one !
That was awesome! Thanks so much for doing this
Best gig rundown I’ve ever seen, that’s for sure! So much to enjoy here thanks!
The simplicity of a genius. Neil has a very «singer/songwriter» approach to guitar, something I really can relate to. All gear, sound and guitars are there to serve the song.
Liam and his board is much more about indulging oneself and doing wacky «pedal-things». Which, let’s face it, is what TPS is all about too.
So funny to see Mitchell Froom in the background, minding his own business and just getting on with it. One of the greatest producers around. Besides producing Crowded House he’s also produced the likes of Richard Thompson. Another hero of all of us, I bet.
Great episode. Thanks lads!
Thank you guys!! So cool!
Thanks a lot that was amazing , thanks for all that you are doing to bring this wonderful content to us!
Nice work guys- so good. Neil Finn is a legend 👍👍
This was absolutely awesome!!! Many thanks guys! :)
Neil and Tim Finn and Split Enz are/were huge influences and we got to meet and hang out w/ both of them while touring Australia...Neil invited us to come see him in NZ and I have always regretted not taking him up on it! An absolutely lovely guy when we met him at the ARIA awards and afterparty...sometimes meeting your heroes is a real letdown, sometimes it exceeds all possible expectations, as was the case w/ Neil.
Thank you this was so special have been a fan since Split Enz days.
Well done, guys. Best rig rundown I've seen.
thanks guys. he's a hero !glad you got to meet him
Love this Mick and Dan , Thank you ! Would love to see more of these .
Thank you so much for doing this, guys! Neil is one of my all-time favorites!
Awesome. Great ep. Stoked for you guys.
Ace vid guys , huge congrats and well done for getting this close to the real deal! Thank you.
Fabulous episode.
I know most people adore the pedal/amp combos, but those Gretsch guitars are frosty cool. Great video guys (and camera work, Dan)
Fantastic hour, thank you Dan and Mick.
What a thrill and so happy for you guys!
Awesome Dan & Mick, all Neil, Liam, Marcos and all the Crowded House gang ! Tremendous !
Great interviews, totally pro. I could feel a great connection between all of you guys. Thanks for introducing me to some more great music and music history.
Love the rig tour format. More please!
Found the time to finish watching this today.
What an absolute treat. Well done, Dan & Mick, thank you! Loved every second.
Something about a 2x10 & 1x12 just works. It's perfect ❤️❤️
This was magic lads! Also nice to see the Finn boys and all the crew you interviewed seem like great human beings!
Thank you for sharing this with us
Thank you , thank you , thank you. Terrific interview, great camera work. Really liked the chat with Marcus(the tech).
Deluxe Memory Man sales are about to BOOM!!
I am in no way a pedal techy, I just love the sounds and craft they create. This together with one of my all-time favourite bands meant this video was a little slice of heaven!
That was one of the best episodes. So much insight from an incredible artist with such a storied career. So cool for them to do that................now I have to find tickets to a show and a flight.
fantastic. thanks for capturing this
What an amazing episode, so great to get the hindsight on how a pro act deals with gear and how they go about it. Really interesting! Thank you so much for this, this was public service!
And thank you! Great tech chat with Marcus and backed with player run downs by Neil and Liam… glad I woke early and watched this all the way through!
Great rig rundown of stellar players with great tech and interviewers. Great work guys.
Phenomenal job with this guys! It felt like we were all gathered 'round the pedalboard with you. When I saw the Stonehenge teaser this morning, I knew it would be great.
Well, that was bloody brilliant. Must have been one hell of a day. Congratulations guys, super-cool video.
I love each and every episode of TPS (even when I only understand/care about 35% of the things you’re talking about), but there are a few in which your self-effacing fandom and genuine enthusiasm make me feel like I am truly along the ride of your journey. Thank you for allowing for that connection, and for doing such a top notch job of presenting it! Sending love from New York.
P.S. Thanks to Marcus, this was the first episode of TPS in which my wife may have been more interested than I was.
Hahahah! Fair play, Marcus is a consummate professional. Good job he’s not insanely good looking right!?
That’s one for the books! Thanks so much for this treat!
One of the best rundown ever made. 👍🏻
Loved this! I was so lucky to get called up on stage to play / sing weather with you with Neil some years ago in Portsmouth. What an amazing man, and a great video. Thank you
This episode is legendary!!
Thanks Dan & Mick! looking forward to this one!
Mindblowing rig rundown love all You guys do!
Great to see this. thank you
Guys! Just incredible. Than you.
I love LIam's rig with the Melotron and Synth pedals.
My heroes: Neil Finn, Noel Gallagher and Paul Mcartney. … man I’d love a Noel G rig rundown
What a treat! One of my first vinyl albums was Enz of an Era, bought in the early 80s in Queensland. Loved the Crowded House songs too. So good of these guys to do such a relaxed and candid interview/demo.
I"m just reeling! We get to see them this Fall in Nashville @ the Ryman. I just can't wait!! Thank you so much for this show!
That was Lovely to see Dan on the edge of fan meltdown meeting his musical hero. You can feel the reverence! Lovely to see such detailed rig rundowns as well, in a professional touring context. Very enjoyable show!
ok, I cried. this is beautiful. Seen Neil Finn a couple of times now but next week will be my first ever Crowded House show
That was amazing, thanks for sharing.
Great video guys, I haven't thought about Crowded House in many years. Great memories listening to them back in the day.
IMO, Neil, is the best songwriter working today, so many don't appreciate his guitar work. I liken him to George Harrison, never flashy but always melodic and the guitar always complements the song.
Gents, really, really great video. As someone who has never played on stage, and probably never will, this was a great insight into what goes into making the tones we all adore.
Incredible episode, such a fascinating and interesting watch 😄
Wow guys! You certainly raised the bar with that one, fantastic!
One of my favorite bands of the 1980s and 1990s... my favorite memory is them coming on stage at the Torhout (Belgium) festival in 1992 after it had been raining almost all day, playing 'Weather with You' and the sun coming out almost as if they had summoned it.
Happy days!
Massive thanks for this episode!
Commenting before even watching - this gong to be epic - my favourite band of all time - my favourite song writer of all time - can’t wait for this 👍
This is great!
One of the greatest pop songwriters around, and a competent guitar player as well.
Mahalos, my friends! 🤙🎸🎶
