There is no bigger love in my musical life than that of Crowded house and Neil Finn.
This is my favourite Album of all time.
It got me into Crowded House and I happened to be at the Sydney opera House at the farewell gig.
My memory holder's, every time I listen to these musical geniuses I remember when I first heard them,songs are passages to parts of my life, can't ask for more than that as a band,
Aha, finally! Always wanted to see this. Thanks from the US!
You're so very welcome from Canada, thank you for your comment.
Thank you for posting. This is amazing!
You're welcome, thank you for your comment.
How will you go is one of my favourite songs ever!! Had the privilege of seeing Crowded House live in Scarborough this year (2022) one major tick on my bucket list 🥰
Thank you for your comment.
Enjoyed that!
Great history of this album and insights on the band’s dynamics.
Thank you for your comment.
Has New Zealand become part of Australia?
Crowded House would *not* be Crowded House without Neil Finn (and his brother Tim on this album) who are proud New Zealanders, not Australian. It is really the second coming of Split Enz who were a mostly Kiwi band with a couple of Brits added. Give credit where credit is due.
Don’t forget their Irish roots☘️☘️

The KIWI. Eats, roots and leaves.

Thank you for your comment.
Love the mellower, folky songs on side 2 of this album.
Thank you for your comment.
One of the greatest albums of all time. No two voices blend together as well as the Finn Bros.
Great New Zealand album.
Beautiful stuff
Wonderful to see Paul Hester as the cheerful (but talented) joker in the pack. RIP mate.
The maturity with which Neil and Tim dealt with their issues (despite the fist fight) is admirable.
Both respected each others point of view even though both had a right to feel put out.... I think I just learned something about how to deal with conflict.
Oh cheers I’ve been looking for this for ages
Great band, loved their music
Great video... never knew Tim was the source of 'Weather with you'
Such a detailed and interesting docu. TY🌊
My favorite pop band ever to record...I can just keep them on repeat as now they're the soundtrack of my life. They gave me hope in the hook and the harmony and melody again..there was a stretch of drum machine madness and they transcended all that. Love Tim as well. I just feel like they don't do any bad songs ever. They've got the jangle and the range and as tight as they are they can take it right to the edge.
Brilliant Album, and great lineup with Tim in the band.
The title should be "Great New Zealand albums". Australia contributed Italian plastic and I'm still here, which are the worse songs on the album.
Except the band was formed in Australia and the album was recorded in LA and Australia.
Australia contributed most of the band idiot. Neil was the key song writer but Like they said, Every members role was very important..Gee you must just hate our country... Most kiwi's move here anyway.
the CDs were pressed in australia! therefore, statement is true.
Lmao savage
Breh, everybody knows New Zealand isn't real.
Wonderful -- thanks for posting ❤️
A superb album - but come on. It is not an Australian album at all. Have the decency to call it what it is - A NZ album
Chocolate Cake is up there as one of the oddest pop songs, along with Prefab Sprout's lyric: "Hot Dog, Jumping Frog, Albuquerque" from the song KING OF ROCK AND ROLL
Crowded House is a true New Zealand band……..yay!
This album is amazing, even if only for the one vocal part, "the finger of blame has turned upon itself..." with one vocal screaming in the background. I always start this album with that song and then play the whole thing thru.
I'm Australian and I think we all know without Neil Finn the other boys would not have written don't dream it's over, but Neil Finn doesn't care they are his life long friends and he just wants to be in a band with his mates
They're from New Zealand..... 🙄 .... time to change the title of this video, ya think??
"GREAT NEW ZEALAND ALBUMS"
👍
Its a New Zealand album for gods sakes. I realize the other players are Australian and are great, but get real, without the beautiful songs and singing of Neil Finn this band and this album doesn't exist.
Crowded House were a NZ / AUS band based in Aussie.
It's been years and years since I've heard Crowded House, but my impression was that they were from New Zealand, not Australia. Spending their music development time in the UK, bringing a British player on board. Listening to the two Finn Brothers accents, it's very difficult to detect the presence of an Australian twang, Perhaps the band have based themselves in Australia and so have been Identified as Australian - who knows, perhaps more importantly what does it matter.
Still trying to decide, Australia or New Zealand, but crowded house name comes from their apartment in the USA. 🎉
Quark strangeness and charm was used by Hawkwind!
shame theyre not from australia a!! new zealanders all trhe way
The whole band is australian except Neil & also Tim is a kiwi with a full australian accent. The band is from Australia a!! Funny how they chose to do the farewell concert in Australia a!! Funny how this video was uploaded on Australia day too!
With the addition of Tim this is arguably the most Kiwi that Crowded House had been up to that point. Two Aussies and one Kiwi living in Melbourne, form a band and record albums and base themselves in Melbourne. Tim upped the NZ quota a bit temporarily when he joined but this is an Aussie band all day, ay bro.
There's some good material in here, but the film itself is pretty poorly put together. Could be professionally edited down to a better 40 minute programme.
Whole sections of the interview with Neil Finn are repeated...
I think it's because what's uploaded is the original programme (which ends with "How Will You Go?"), then we get the DVD extras straight afterwards.
Correction : it looks like the uploader has stuck the uncut interviews (possibly originally extras) around three-quarters of the way in...
" NEW ZEALANDER WATCHING 😎😎🌏
I'm thinking 'why do I know that name, Ricky Fatar'? and of course, it's Stig Nasty, the George Harrison character in The Rutles.
Not Australian
Australian album
The Finn's Enterprise
Australian?
Damn, haven't even thought about this band since the 90's
They released a new album called Dreamers Are Waiting. The band is now original members Neil Finn & Nick Seymour, Mitchell Froom who produced and played on their early albums on keyboards, and Neil's sons Liam & Elroy. They sound as good or better than ever. They toured NZ & AU until they recently had to postpone 4 concerts in AU because Neil & Liam got covid. Tickets are on sale now for concerts in Europe, the US & Canada.
@@jeanetteeastman1638 saw them in Limerick last night. A fantastic concert, playing as good as ever. A really magical night.
Had tickets for a show In April that has been postponed til November.
What I find interesting is that Woodface was their most successful album internationally, but I consider it their worst album due to the goofy nature of some of the songs. No disrespect as I consider Neil Finn one of the top three greatest singer/songwriters of all time.
Love the album but that documentary was pretty downbeat
I think you mean New Zealand 😂 Typical mistake with this band.
Catholic guilt. I like it.
Yeah, Catholic guilt is good.
I actually think it is the weakest of the first 4 Crowded House albums too. Some amazing songs (Fall At Your Feet, Whispers And Moans, Four Seasons In One Day, There Goes God, She Goes On) but quite a few very average tracks too. Chocolate Cake is one of their worst songs ever IMO.
Haha. Yeah I agree. While there are some beautiful songs on Woodface, there are some very average ones. It has always seemed very uneven to me. Temple of Low Men and Together Alone are my favourites. Consistent and even albums. But overall I love their collective music. Neil mentioned in here that Split Enz Conflicting Emotions wasn't the best album, but I actually love it. So... horses for courses. Have also listened to Time and Tide again recently, and become more aware what a fantastic album, that was. Sandy Allen rocks.
@@peterallison290
Sandy Allen, great song. Haul away, log cabin fever, take a walk. Great album all round. Another great late split enz song is I Walk Away.
Temple of Low Men is my all time favorite. It has a continuity to it in the song writing and production. I was blown away when it was released and still love it the same today.
@@michaelscoots - Together Alone is my favourite Crowded House album, followed closely by Temple Of Low Men 😎
Australian? Written by 2 kiwis 😂😂
Australia is not New Zealand. Thanks anyway.
