Could watch this video again and again, the live version catches the one off moment that will never be seen again, unless you were lucky enough to be there ..
Neil towers above ANYONE else when it comes to the full package! When Paul McCartney claims Neil to be his favorite songwriter.... this is music at it's absolute peak! I imagine "Fingers Of Love" to be playing on a continuous loop in Heaven! Perfect voice,supremely melodic guitarist,deeply intelligent and passionate lyricist...I believe this is Neil's finest moment-and THAT IS SAYING SOMETHING!!!!
Random audience as far as I know.... but what a song!!!! I was crying myself with spine chilling waves going up and down my back. Oh and I am male , straight, 51 and a Falklands War Vet
This was the first song in which lead guitar occured to me. I was 11, It had such a huge sound... This concert was my inspirationg to pick up an instrument. I now write the majority of the music for two groups. playing lead guitar in one... You could say crowded house's fare well to the world inspired my passion for music. Thanks for posting this... Its been forever since I saw it. One of my all time favorite songs.
Yep this is my fav song of all time...i used to like repeat the last min for the instrumental at the end..so pretty like the piano and stuff..huh..i love this song and will always be grateful it was made
One of there best songs! Saw then live this week at amsterdam And they also played this song As i was filming it on my phone it was just imposible to stand stil!
I cry my eyes out every time I go here....but it's one of my favorite performances by them and it strips away layers and layers of pain and hidden greif that I've storred away for years ...if you listen to the lyrics and let it resinate in your own life you may find something profound....THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!...nuff said.
@ClandestineBoogue I am so glad I was there- it still stands as my most memorable live musical experience. The atmosphere of the crowd, the weather was perfect, the fireworks over the harbour at the end, I walked away feeling lighter than air. Autotune proves that you can turn any sound into a hit song- not everyone can sound this brilliant live, without the safety of the studio, and remake every single song anew.
i was in the 3rd row when they recently played wembley arena... neil asked me mid song if i was ok coz i have one o those glum lookin faces lol.. but that's how close i was!!!
Not an ardent fan of CH. Having said that a better live band you're not likely to hear. Fab setting for a farewell concert and what a tune! Fingers of Love...something we can all relate to.
I never saw the entire farewell concert, nor even heard this song before. Yeah, it's beautiful. Trivial question I know, but: Does anyone know who the woman is at the end, crying with her friend on her shoulder? Is she related to the band, or an anonymous random audience member?

what a flawless live performance . best live act i have ever seen .
RIP Hessie. You are an angel - just as Nick painted you!
One of the greatest song writers of our time, no question. One of the best songs too along with Private Universe.

best ever song by crowded hose, excellent live version too
that guitar solo on the 12 string... oh man!! Freakin' love this song, and this version especially. One of the best concerts ever!
INCREDIBLE! I don't blame that woman for crying. Even when Neil missed his cue- just didn't matter.
Great song made magnificent by Mark's excellent guitar work and Paul's dramatic beats!
Love this song I was at the concert and they nailed this song.
