  • Australian Beatles

  • This is so beautiful! I have never stopped loving this song! Bless you Neil!

  • I loved this song when i was young... i love it more today, this version is so beautiful. 

  • When I hear " You Let your own tears" I start singing "And I'm not pretty enough".

  • A very cool version. The smile from the pianist says it all. The piano plays a small but yet massive part. Brilliant.

  • I't so lovely.... The crowd singing and all.. wonderful!

  • that harmony at 3.50... *sigh*

  • wow - awesome live version, many thanks for sharing!

  • this was an hbo or showtime special a few years ago and i've looked and looked for a recording of it and here it is--marvelous!

  • I love this version

  • this is the best version of this song i ever heard. not even the james blunt version can compare to this . it is flawless

  • Amazing song.

  • I'm fan of the James Blunt version.

    But this is just amazing!

  • This is brilliant. It shouldnt be titled as Crowded House though coz that looks like his wife on keyboards and son on bass guitar to me!

  • Sweet version. checkout the version of this song by Trihouse.

  • DL the audio from this clip at thetunify doht cohm.

  • adds a sense of sadness with the ghost of a drum kit alone

  • Got to admit I haven't heard Blunt's version and I don't intend ever to listen to it. I just can't stand the man's singing voice and I well NEVER forgive him for "You're Beautiful". A crime against humanity in my opinion! Neil Finn, on the other hand, has one of the best singing voices in all of popular music and is a damned good song writer.

  • So beautiful. The confidence Neil has in his audience to carry the song when he steps away from the mic is amazing and his keyboardist's smile when he does it just says so much...

  • this guy is a genius,and it all comes together here........wonderful

  • only 7 dislikes. says it all really. my awesum dad introduced me to this band an i havnt looked back since. that was over 10 yrs ago

  • f** me that was stunning !

  • every time I come on utube I have to listen to this as i like the tingles down my back it gives me

  • 4.08  :- D

  • 4.08 <3

  • I love this song!

    And also James Blunt's version is so good... and I don't care if you will say this version is better, because everybody have different opinions!

  • one of the best songs that were ever written..... 

  • Beautiful. Thanks so much for posting!

  • god,i love this song..it's wonderful

  • Top band. Neil Finn same league as J Lennon.

  • even though this song was written while i still was crapping in my diapers.. this song is definitely timeless and will always stay unreachable.

    legen.. wait for it... dary!

  • ich liebe dieses lied^^.....hammer

  • Sigh, just awesome

  • Has to be the best version...just close your eyes and listen.x

  • wow, that is an amazing live performance of this song!! i love the audience singing, every word and note perfect. goes to show how much Neil's fans love him and his music! wish i'd been there!! :-) thanks kaspervalentijn for posting this.

  • what year was this?

  • Someone asked to sir P.MaCartney how he felt to be the greatest songwriter in the world.. And him: " not me, Neil Finn is !"

  • so good

  • one of the best male vocalists since the likes of marvin gaye and otis redding, simply fantastic!!!!!

  • the keyboardist has a magnetic backup vocal too

  • Amazing song - I can relate so much to the lyrics right now...

  • Firstly, thank-you kaspervalentijn for uploading this. Secondly, this has got to be the definitive (relatively) acoustic version of this track. Sebastien Steinberg and Lisa Germano really back Neil well on the vocals, and to have added more instrumentation could've arguably taken away from what is a unique rendering of this classic song.

  • This is easily the best version of this song I have heard. The harmonies are great, Neil's guitar work is spot on as always and most of all the crowd lifts it to that next level.

  • James Blunt's version was so bad that YouTube disabled the audio!

    His version is flat and lifeless.

  • g wizzz stop hatin

  • Just Divine!!!

    Love u JOHNNY MARR!!!

  • One of the most beautiful songs ever. Gives me goose flesh over and over again.

  • Just so beautiful.

  • Answer... Live performances hold a special raw energy and passion that synthetic manufactured studio recordings cannot capture! Real quality bands rise to the occasion live as they cannot rely on studio effects to compress out mistakes and bad pitch. Once you get into live performances you get hooked and will find yourself prefering live shows. That's why I love You Tube it's all about live.

  • @zuluamuse i agree, green day were a different band on stage than they are on record, but you are 100 percent right

  • @zuluamuse totally agree with you, listening to an album start to finish is fantastic, but seeing that record performed live is a moment you can't recapture. No matter how many times you see/hear that band, it will ALWAYS be different, it's a beautiful ocassion!

  • @zuluamuse Yep, and only real musicians pull it off. That's why you see so many lip syncs these days. Todays players are more about appearance than skill as a musician. That's what is really making them popular, with a few exceptions.

  • why is the version of james blunt not on youtube?

  • because it isn't that good

  • @Schmidisw it is but its crap compared to this

  • best song i heard in months.

  • He sang great.... i really like the guitar work,,,, i dont so much like this in live performance.

  • эх, хорошА песня

  • the best live version in my opinion i love the bit when the crow sings along, magic!

  • man wish i was there i went to see them at wembley arena last year they were incredible they dont make music like this anymore

  • Great show by Finn - but not Crowded House! Finn formed a temp band in 2001 for gigs in Auckland NZ - a phenomenal called Seven Worlds Collide. Included an a who's who lineup of British and US rock: Eddie Vedder, Johnny Marr, Phil Selway, Ed O'Brien, Sebastian Steinberg, Lisa Germano, brother Timm Finn and son Liam Finn's band. Clip is lifted from the DVD released after the gigs. Finn recently announced he is putting together a follow up band/event including Jeff Tweedy of Wilco....

  • This is an awesome rendition.. I love the sing along at the end and Neil sings a mournful part with the crowd. Not his normal part that he sings.

  • James Blunt is a great singer , don't speak rong about James .....

  • Neil is a great singer and songwriter...

  • hi all love it love it love it

  • this is really the best performance of this song! neil is legend.. not like blunt who doesn't have qualities like neil...

  • Philistine !

  • is this guy also the one singing in jesse cook's version?

  • No. The Jesse Cook version is sung by someone else. Does sound quite like Neil though!

  • James Blunt sings it better!

  • behave

  • Neil Finn (the one singing it in this video) wrote it.

  • Dont even get me started. James Blunt was a nobody when Neil wrote this song.

    I just hate when mediocre artists cover great songs and people think they wrote it.

  • great song

  • (L) Crowded House..

  • the part with the crowd was awesome 5/5

  • they both bring a different vibe to the song, i like it both actually.

  • Excellent version! Lisa Germano is so sweet.

    I love how the audience jumps to the "the finger of the blame" bridge.

  • get real all u who think james blunt is better , i watched and turned it off halfway through cause it didnt move me at all , dont mess with something already perfected

  • I guess it depends what generation your from...so I have to say growing up to Crowded House's version is more special to me...James Blunt's is good to...but if you want to hear really cool version,check out Jesse Cook's...very nice.

  • holey shit, jesse cooks is great, it moved me just like this one. it has more creative guitaring in it. jesses is faster i think

  • one of the sexiest songs ever!

  • james blunt much better !!!!

  • " gubbins "

  • " gubbins "

  • James sings it much more better - whatever YOU will say!

  • Have you actually heard Crowded House sing it live?

    I'm 15, and I'd have to admit, in the bridge, with Mark Hart doing the harmonies, I actually cried...

    Yes. Neil Finn made me cry.

  • I like to consider myself a pretty tough guy who rarely cries... but this song, the harmonies, everything about it... it even makes me cry.

    James Blunt shouldn't have even tried it.

  • i saw them in concert

    and they were incredible

  • Mi sono documentata. Anno 2001. Seven Worlds Collide di Neil Finn dei Crowded House

  • L'anno non saprei, lei è la fantastica italo-americana lisa germano.

  • are you fucking serious??

  • Splendida. Qualcuno saprebbe dire a che anno risale questo concerto? e chi è la tastierista e voce femminile del gruppo?

  • are you fucking serious??

  • menchiaaa!!

  • love this song...and neil's concerts and all the audience sing-a-long. actually not crowded house playing it in this video, altho of course they originally did it. it's neil finn with lisa germano on the keyboards and harmony.

  • This song can`t get any better...

  • His voice really held up so well. Amazing. I guess Neil never did drugs or drank like mad...good for him. You wanna be a song writer? Listen and learn right here, right now...

  • tru but im a singer and brandy really helps with ur voice. alcohol has nothing to do with it. eg boy george was singing crap on band aid but as soon as he had a brandy he was fine.

  • ...Goose bumps....

  • No comment :) Love this song :)

  • TRULY--beautiful--I already own and adore the album version--however,as with the majority of "live" music--this is especially lovely.

    K xxx

  • amazing!

  • i love the part where his voice just kind of fades away and he moves away from the light into the dark still playing and lets the audience sing. completely BEAUTIFUL and touching. acoustic ftw!

  • hi could some1 tell me how ye put these on bebo?

  • thats why i love crowded house there under rated idiots dont know who they are people who love music know them thats what makes them special

  • i think i listen to this song every time i get online. i am an aspiring singer/ songwriter and every time i cover this, people freak out asking if i wrote it. i tell them that it was a crowdedhouse cover. their reply is usually "huh... who is that?" i can't believe that people are missing out. neil is a genius

  • I totally agree with ozratman. Saw Crowded House last friday in Stockholm, it was fantastic!

  • How cool must it be to write a song like that and have everyone in the crowd sing it back to you each night. That alone would make the touring worth it I rekon.

  • this is probably the best live version i have ever heard of this great song

  • I like it so much, version acoustic is the best, la la laaaaa; day 19 me ;)

  • It's true!

  • ke musica me encanta muchisimo llega al bobo para ti paolita samame canto de tu bb freddycerron

  • this really is a classic, great song!!

  • this is a classic, i love it.

  • gorgeous song. a classic.thanks for posting.

  • Lovely song. I get chills when I hear it.

  • paul mcartney was once asked wat was it like 2 be the worlds best song writer... and he said "i'm not the best in the world, neil finn is"

  • I was wondering who that girl is . She is quite hot and i love her smile. And she has a good voice.

  • the girl at the back is Lisa Germano, a singer-songwriter.

  • I was at this gig! - one of the best nights ever. Cheers for uploading (my dvd copy is totally worn out :)

  • this isnt crowded house its just tim on his own the st james theatre is in new zealand in my home town of auckland and its an amzing venue

  • Try Tim.

  • it was neil that evening in auckland

  • Neil Finn's song is as great as Lisa Germano's backing vocals and piano playing. Thanks both for this pearl.

  • thanks for this vid....i'm watching this almost everyday...............

  • den är as bra!!!

  • suger!!!

  • Crowded House are playing Marley Park in Dublin on the 22nd of June this year!..to believe they got back together!..dunno what other gigs they're doing round the world but im definitely going to that one!..This is my favourite song perhaps EVER!

  • lovely...

  • these guys rock

  • does anybody know what concert this is from? This is one of the best versions of the song I have ever heard, and I'd like to get hold of it on audio somewhere.

  • never mind.... st. james... just saw it

  • this band is great

  • I adore this song. Thanks for posting this version, I love the acoustic arrangement.

  • Thx for loving this version of fall at your feet.

  • Sublime

  • I love this song,my all time fav new zealand song. I hope that I get to see it preformed live one day.

  • Wow, that was amazing :) One of my favourite songs, Neil Finn is a song writing genius.

  • Un groupe qui n'est pas de mon epoque mais que j'aime beaucoup, merci

  • ooohhh, I just got all goosebumpy during the crowd singalong part. Love_This_Song

  • honestly, i dont know if i've ever heard another song that is so moving in all my 22 years of life...however, this should be labelled as 'neil finn' and not crowded house...still, amazing song.

  • thankx for the awesome song! one of my all time faves

  • My all time fav of crowded house is still into temptation. Pitty there is no live vid on yourtube. I'm missing also a vid of the song of their last album called 'nails in my feet'.

  • Love this song :)
