My friends and I still rave about Crowded House’s "Farewell to the World" show on the steps of the Sydney Opera House in 1996, 11 years after they formed. It was a free show on the Harbour Foreshore, with 200,000 people, yet you felt like you were watching them in your living room.
There’s a DVD of the show that was released to celebrate its’ tenth anniversary. The last song they sang was “Don’t Dream It’s Over”. The camera pans into the audience and there I am, in the very front row, crying and singing my heart out “Hey now, Hey How, When the world comes in”. It’s so raw and emotional, watching it still makes me shiver.
Neil Finn is an incredibly talented and prolific songwriter, also writing and performing solo, and alongside his brother Tim for the “Finn Brothers”. Every Crowded House song is such perfectly crafted pop, simple, pared back and so beautiful - from their earlier hits with “Something So Strong” and “Better Be Home Soon” through to “Saturday Sun” off their 2010 album "Intriguer". They reformed in 2006 with Matt Sherrod on drums. Their touring days have slowed, so you’d better catch these legends when they next pass by.

Saw Crowded House @ the Opera House on Thursday (24/11/16). Wow. Neil and the crew sound better than ever. They played all the classics, the crowd was so involved. We sang along and danced, screamed. Tim came on for a few songs too, so that was great. Definitely the best concert I've been to. First time I've been to the opera house forecourt for a concert too, beautiful venue, sound was good too.

I had the pleasure of seeing Crowded House on 2 separate occasions in Wales, when the late Paul Hester was alive. Incredible band with wonderful humour and Neil Finn has always been a god in my eyes. :-)
