Crowded House - Sydney - April 13 2022

I was very pleased when towards the end of 2020, Crowded House announced a new album and that they would be touring again. However it took another 18 months for the tour to cross the Tasman due to omicron. This would be their first tour in Australia in over ten years. Tickets weren’t cheap and I opted for the third most expensive tickets, which got me seats a little further back than I’d really have liked, but on an aisle. Being on an aisle had both its advantages and disadvantages as my video clearly shows.
This time around the band's line-up featured founding members Neil Finn and Nick Seymour along with producer and keyboardist Mitchell Froom, and Neil’s two sons, Liam on guitar and vocals, and Elroy on drums. They sounded as great as they ever have. I’m not really sure how I ended up with so many songs recorded except to say Crowded House have so many brilliant songs that it’s impossible to stop at just a few:
World Where You Live (00:25)
Pineapple Head (05:14)
When You Come (09:40)
Private Universe (15:07)
Four Seasons in One Day (22:06)
Don't Dream It's Over (25:07)
Locked Out (30:27)
Something So Strong (33:42 )
Whatever You Want (39:36)
Into Temptation (45:13)
Better Be Home Soon (49:55)

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.😊

New Zealand's Beatles, and the world's Crowded House. Wonderful.

I miss the 80s so much 😢 It’s 2024 and the world continues to try and build a wall between us

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.

Im a 60’sh american. Ive just became a fan of Crowded House. How did we never hear of these guys. I mention these guy, and I get a blank stare. No one has ever heard of them. The Aussies seem to know them well, whats wrong with us!

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.

[@pubbets1899]

Neil is in fine voice here! Amazing show

[@Undercoverbrotherfromanother]

When you come & Into temptation will always take me away. New record, Dreamers Are Waiting -- reveals itself after a couple of listens as another masterpiece. Well done.

I love how expansive "When You Come" feels. I just imagine the wide open and gorgeous spaces of New Zealand.
