[carathebaker]

Tim Finn missed his calling as an actor . . .

[abc321ish]

"If music be the food of love, Split Enz be silverware!"

[marjofox]

Saw them on this tour, and they were AMAZING!

A proper SHOW!!

They have always had a place in my heart, and i had the good fortune to meet them a few years later on the True Colours tour. Tim and Noel were really cool, and chatted to us for a good while, keeping us topped up with an ale or two from the hotel bar in Liverpool. Always always produce the sonic goods!! BRILLIANT!!

[buscargo89]

@marjofox one of my best bands and you saw them in liverpool my home town you jammy sod

@2.52 "Could we have a bit more mic, please?" :P

[ShishKaFreak]

If I had any sort of musical talent and I could perform just 10 songs perfectly, I'd want this to be one of them!

[vinylman4533]

They were really big in Australia where they recorded many of their classic songs.

[TheDarkonDoza]

Freakin nutts!

[martwwa]

[simfaithguitar1]

That was great. Thank you for posting.

[youdube01]

Brill....I remember watching this....Enz were still underground...sort of...a big well kept secret...loved it then..love it still. A truly original band with great hooks!!!

[Tangento]

These guys were like Cardiacs from down under. Brilliant.

[abclouie]

Kiwi legends.

[bobos01]

i didnt blink 1 time watching this.

didnt wanna miss anything.

and that huge bass drum kicked ass.

[waaben]

The early Split Enz (pre-I Got You) is such an incredibly original and likable band. Tim Finn is a genius. Thanks for posting this :)

[ramadarose41]

during Tim's last "my mistake" repeats, you can't even hear the "oooooo whoops!", just see they're mouths move. only vocals you can hear are Tim's. great video, but whoever set up the mics at that show messed up.

[enuttubby]

any chance the song Bergen Aan Zee from the same concert is recorded on video or sound by anyone?

Pete

[richardyingren]

wow, have remembered this concert for thirty two years - my wife (to be) and myself watched this together and thought it so 'alive' ...... have the album.... tho seems so too eccentric now.

[QwidgyboMan]

Split Enz - Most underrated band of all time, bar none. Their early stuff is especially underrated.

[musicgenerator]

do you have anymore of this sight and sound concert???

[kurikokaleidoscope]

this is totally fantastic

[alcoholichealer]

the original enz totally rocked

then they became, to my thoughts,

a routine dreamy rock band outfit

[bittenof]

saw them at middlesborough in 77.cant remember much about it though.

[PuckRocker43]

Loved the intro poem. Tim, always the showman. Cheers :D

[nitramlio]

You certainly got value for money at an Enz gig, they were spectacular performers. Thanks for sharing.

[leanda27]

[SpawnFicklePets]

maan I dig the enz! Tim's always been my fav.

[Holeyan]

such great music.

[Treyodon1]

It is so diffrent to the london recording. still a great song

[eltonjohnlennon97]

now you can see that nobody really wanted to stand next to neil(he said it in an interview)

[xtcpino]

Wow. Just - wow.

[fernald10]

Unique and great.

[marfr1]

this period was the enz at their best in terms of live performances (late seventies)

[steerdavid]

Yeah definately true ......... first band I ever saw live .......... + first time i ever got stoned .......... quite a headful! Like crowded house but seemed like the enz potential was never fulfilled.

[aaronryanmusic]

I love all Split Enz's music but there is something about the early days that just takes me into another world. A very unique world!

[paulsint]

haha, they sucked back then.

[goldsak]

Wow.

[medguitar83]

Excellent!! Is there anymore footage from this show?

[tomorrettisgay]

yeh I've seen footage of them doing Woman Who Loves You & True Colours (let's rock) at this same show, its on their self-titled dvd.

[marfr1]

the entire concert was on tvnz back in the late seventies.

[motherofpearl13]
