The guys are brilliant here as ever--but I really got my money's worth in "wayback points" from seeing Dave wander out to shake their hands with an LP jacket in his hands. :-)

[morrisonAV]

@blurr1969 I see that happening more and more lately as bands seem to want to release their material on vinyl. It may just be a "retro" thing, but I love seeing cover art in a size where the artistry can finally be seen.

@morrisonAV:

This is why I'm not into "downloading music" -

I LIKE PACKAGING with my music; I LIKE

ART & WORDS & PICTURES with my music!!!

Me BUY - DJ

i love all live Crowded House/Split Enz stuff, and this one blows me away! thanks, morrisonAV for posting this!! i missed it the first time around (as i missed a lot of their early stuff). btw, Neil is still HOT as all get out. i was honored to meet him last August in Austin, TX and even at 53 (10 years older than myself), he is still a genious songwriter and an all around good ol' boy as we say in TX. and did i say he was still hot?? LOL

[mccormack9]

I love how Paul does that "Curley Three-Stooges-esque" whhhooooo at the end of the song. God rest his soul.

Awesome!

[carathebaker]

Holy crap! I so remembering watching this segment on Letterman . . . I think it either 89 or '90 . . . all I remember was being so flipping happy to watch!!

[savvo01]

@ramadarose41 Well, I can't confirm that she used to wake up the whole house, but yes, his sister used to have nightmares and wake up screaming.

[notoriouskitty1]

Hey Savoo01......Thankyou for the explanation...Its always been one of my favorite songs and ive always been curious about it..till now that is :) Thankyou.

[notoriouskitty1]

Quick question....does anyone know what this song is about??

[savvo01]

@notoriouskitty1 Neil wrote this song about his sister, who shared a bedroom with him at some stage. She would occasionally have nightmares and wake up in a state of paranoia, screaming at the top of her lungs. This would usually wake up everyone in the Finn residence.

[ramadarose41]

@savvo01 is that for real? i've never heard that before, but the intro to this song on their Farewell To The World '96 DVD, Neil says something about "waking up in a room with my sister having nightmares". weird! awesome song!!

[WizFizz]

Very Doug Anthong All Stars! LOL But I love Crowded House!

[DavelovesRealMusic]

I was looking fot a mint copy of this GREAT POST!!!

[morrisonAV]

@DavelovesRealMusic Glad you enjoyed it. They're a great group!

[morrisonAV]

Glad I could come up with it for you, bendistraw. Dave and Paul always had an ear open for uniquely talented bands.

[bendistraw]

morrisonAV Ah, coming through for me again with priceless Neil Finn video! Thank you so much! I never was much of a fan of Dave's but I have to say the band is full of crackerjack musicians, especially Will Lee.

[Nigelxman]

Fantastic stuff! Watching this puts a huge smile on my face. We miss you Hessie.

[icanwaitanotherday]

OUTSTANDING performance! Man I love Crowded House

[chefafischer]

We saw Crowded house in KC a couple years ago. It just wasn't the same without Hessie.

[gobsmack10]

hope he is i a better place!!!! RIP Paul Hester
