- The boys, still young in their careers with CH, play Joan's show and perform "Don't Dream It's Over" and "Something So Strong" (and the director cuts off their last note!) She tells them they are adorable. They are

I love that Neil acknowledged the fuck up with a big smile.
One of the very best songs ever written.
Well said, thank you!
To true
Without a doubt.
The frightening thing is Neil Finn has written 20-30 other songs at this level.
rest in peace paul 1959-2005
This still makes me cry all these years later ... remembering Paul's tears during its performance at the farewell concert...
And he "improvises" verses again at 2:46 - 2:57.
Exceptional song; fantastic band; and one of the best songwriters in the history of rock and roll.
I love the eye roll by Neil when he realizes he's skipped a verse. Good stuff.
Jeff "Smoke" Adams. Yeah man. They are the best lines in the song too. Counting the steps to the door of your heart
Love Crowded House...RIP. ..Paul Hester.
Saw CH on that tour in San Luis Obispo, CA with Eddie on keyboards and it was wonderful! They played all of the 1st CH album, along with several Enz tunes, including "One Step Ahead" and "Shark Attack." A major highlight was Neil improvising a song about one of their roadies who was a vegetarian and was a bit "gassy" on the tour bus.
They hung out afterwards and were really nice to everyone, my girlfriend and I got a great bunch of info about Nick designing the outfits they wore on that cover (and tour) and I think I still have one of Paul's drumsticks in storage somewhere...
Sad that Paul Hester and Joan Rivers are both gone. The world needs another "Crowded House" song though! Come on now Neil!
Bob Dreamzzz God Paul was good
Good news! Crowded House has reformed and would have had an album out by now if not for the corona virus pandemic. Neil and Nick, plus the producer of the first 3 albums, Mitchell Froom, is actually in the band on keyboards. Drums are handled by Neil's youngest son, Elroy and lead guitar handled by oldest son, Liam.

Yes, I heard it, changed 2 -3 verses. Too funny indeed! One of the greatest songs ever!
I thought he cut the song short but he skipped a verse and then went back to final verse again. at that point the other band members begin smiling realizing the improv. great voice this guy has.
Ben Orr (RIP) of The Cars often did this....check out Drive from LiveAid...he mixes a verse, camera pans crowd, then back to him you see him smiling , waving off someone behind him
@@instuller I also watched that but I think it was a mistake
Thanks for sharing this Great Post ! I'm 60 yrs old & normally place Beatles songs in their own class, but "Don't Dream It's Over" is one song that stands alongside Lennon-McCartney.
So true. Two of the best songs from the entire '80s decade.
Yes, he does. And those who don't know the song would never catch it. The play right on as if nothing went wrong. Great song no matter how they sing.
Great observation, and still a fantastic performance.
I will miss Joan.... she was funny on & off stage. The Joan Knows Best show w Melissa Rivers was hilarious. will be watching again...
Awww... I remember watching this when it originally aired. Goodbye sweet Joan.
Saw them as they opened for Bruce Hornseby and the Range. Great concert...both of them had just emerged on the scene. Paul Hedter was great playing on a small two drum snare set for the whole concert.
a handsome chap fucking great song, long may u live guys.
i know the song, backwards and forwards, but it doesn't really matter to me that he effed up the lyrics! LOL every musician i've ever known has done that once in a while, and Neil is human (even though a genius songwriter). i actually love this version, with the smirks and smiles between them better than i do the "perfect" versions! and wow, Neil's hair... i'm still trying to recreate it for myself! :-)
I watched that show....they won me over
these guy were tremendous classy don't see that much anymore.
Love these 2 songs😊
Good to see Eddie Rayner helping out on the keyboards :)
Not autotune here folks. Just pure talent. ❤
I had the biggest crush on Neil that summer as he looked so much like a boy I had a crush on in school. 😆
CH = the real deal. The full package.
What happened over the world that we loose this songs...
Love how Neil got the words wrong and tried hide it. RIP Paul Hester
Yes...on the 2nd verse he went to the final verse and on the final verse he started out as the final verse but then finished with the 2nd verse...got that...haha.
Btw, I did "Don't Dream" earlier this year.. search "Don't Dream Van" ...if you get a chance. Good point on the lyrics.
--Van
And the frosted tips lol brilliant.
RIP Chef Paul too
Eddie Rayner on keys too!! #kiwirepresent
He was so gorgeous
great to see the little smiles of recognition from the others when Neil messes up
I know! he sang the 3rd verse during the 2nd, so I think Neil was like "I'm gonna sing the 2nd verse now" but not until after catching himself repeating the 3rd verse again lol.
Great song!.and it's always a true sign of classy song that even if u haven't heard it in ages it still sounds fresh!..And one tremendous Band that probably don't get their just desserts were 'The Little River Band'( who were fantastic!)
so crowded house followed in that tradition!
Best band ever. Better than the Beatles given the chance. Rip Paul.
I love this guys. From Brazil
Miss ya Joan... Gone too soon. You weren't ready. I don't feel it.
Can we talk?
Something So Strong sounds so much better than the recorded version, the drumming in particular sounds really lively!
Good one Neil finn rock on new Zealand
Sooooo young, what a great band they were/are. Great music. Class !!!
Never saw this Joan a Rivers, thanks for posting. Colossal song.
Wow, Joan Rivers & Crowded House were so young.
Thank you so much for sharing this. So amazing.
Love this!
Beautiful performances, thank you for posting.
Love love love love
Love this song its hitting me tomight,all these years later ❤
Awww..... Memories. Love that band.
So great
a fantastic video
great video, thank you for uploading this
💯
Such a great and funny guy Paul Hester RIP
Wonderful
Brilliant 😂❤❤
should have been the biggest band ever...
Agreed.
Wherever ya'll are at, I hope you're enjoying yourselves. If there is nothing whatsoever, then RIP Joan and Paul Hester.
Much more relaxed for the second song, great stuff
wow that is beyond good
Ovo je HIMNA ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm with you. I'm a huge Crowded House fan and also love the songs Neil was writing with Split Enz like "Message to My Girl" and "I Got You". But "Don't Dream Its Over" is definitely the song that first put CH on the map.
Neil did get the lyrics right. He just got the order of the verses wrong. No matter how you cut it, great performance.
I never cared for the studio version of "Something So Strong". Every live version sounds much better. This one is perfect.
Uno de las 10 mejores baladas de la historia de la música.
Respect lads . RIP HESTER ❤️🙏🇦🇺
Something so strong will be replayed on rage this Saturday night
If Crowded House had formed 25 years earlier they would have been bigger than the Beatles.
Be quiet Paul McCartney
I agree..and I'm a Brit!!
Er... No.
Aaaahaha. You're funny.
20 #1 songs and piles and piles of songs more. Live show hysteria, mania. I don't agree.
Great job on a big, American TV show. Sounded great and there was no such thing as "autotune" (and no ear monitors!!)....
Those acoustics are so '80's.
RIP Joan..miss ya
Love Eddie Rayner's keyboard playing...with Split Enz. It doesn't work as well in the context of Crowded House.
I wonder if this being the first appearance here had anything to do with him forgetting the words...are still sounds great
Cheers
*_DON'T EVER LET THEM WIN..._*
Neil effed up the lyrics that night. See the look on the faces of Paul (R.I.P.) and Nick.
it might be the haircut ... it might be the angle they shot him from ... but Neil looks more like Tim in this clip than I've ever noticed before.
He's been rocking a more unruly version of that haircut - let's call it the 'cockatoo' - in lockdown 33 years later!
their smiles when Neil sang the wrong verse
At least it showed that they were playing LIVE 🙂🙂🙂
Loved this band and Joan Rivers/ too bad her and Carson had a falling out/ she deserved her success !!!###
Neil was touring with Fleetwood Mac before covid.
Nice lyric reverse, actually!
It's Tony Rayner!!!!
O bless him lol
ffs,,, 198fukn 7,,,, where did all those years go,,,,, love the lads now as then,,,,, swoon
Se equivocó varias veces el vocalista en Don’t Dream it’s Over, sin embargo, no le quita para nada la belleza a la canción 👏🏼 👏🏼
Was that Eddie Rayner or Mitchell Froom on keyboards? Does anyone know what acoustic guitar Neil is playing?
@ nickdryad - I think it's Eddie Rayner on the keys...
The black acoustic appears to be a *KRAMER FERRINGTON KFS.*
If in doubt, ask a guitar-spotter...
Thanks
he kinda looks like morrisey in this.
Used to amuse me when Nick or Paul would sing an off note (usually when trying to close 'Something So Strong' and Neil would wince. I don't think Neil has sung a bum note ever, in his life.
I always thought they were from England for some reason
Chris Mann mate, give yourself an uppercut.
I think Neil left one verse out...intentional of course🤭🤫. I guess he forgot how poor he was😂😂
This is on par with the beatles...
The Beatles...
Australia? NEW ZEALAND JOAN. Hahahaha!
Actually both, from Google:
Crowded House is a rock band formed in Melbourne, Australia, in 1985. The founding members were New Zealander Neil Finn (vocalist, guitarist, primary songwriter), and Australians Paul Hester (drums) and Nick Seymour (bass). Later band members included Neil's brother, Tim Finn, and Americans Mark Hart and Matt Sherrod.
Pfft. Thats all I have to say.
Australia/Enzed - what's a jot of Cretaceous period continental break-off amongst Pacific co-chums, 'ey?
RadioSnivins Ahahahaha!
Jesse Sorensen 2/3 Australians
Why didn't the keyboard player get to go over and sit on the sofa for the chat with Joan?
Neil struggling a bit vocally
"out of Australia"??
timelessssssss! Well the song is...not the fashion.
ENZ! >>>>> 🇳🇿
out of new zealand
Aussies have a hard time being in America. makes him very nervous.
If you are talking about Neil Finn, he's a Kiwi ...
Two people have no taste.
💯
Great song but certainly nowhere near his better performances.
Fucked the lyrics good but still sounded great😂😂😎
