Crowded House - Instinct (Top Of The Pops, June '96))

[ImAnnaChristine]

Why weren't CH more popular in the states? I've been gypped.

Excellent!

[WhatDaSausage]

One of my favorite songs by them actually. But I honestly think it's odd how it sounds EXACTLY like the album. Kind of fishy.

That's because they're miming, except with live vocals. Top of the Pops forced you to do that.

@WhatDaSausage Ahhh see these days people are use to live acts sounding totally different to studio. Back when bands had to be good they didnt sound much different live v studio because they didnt have auto tune software like they do now. Now you can get a commercially sellable person and make them a singer even if they cant sing so live and studio are different, but with bands like this live and studio dont sound too different at all.

Crowded House rock! R.I.P Paul Hester

Yup, also check out the version from Saturday Live I've uploaded too. Great to find these kind of gems on old VHS tapes...

As to what Neil's playing, I think they're all egging the fact they're not really playing their instruments.

Wow, very rare live performance of this song, Brilliant! Not too sure what neil's playing on the guitar though?
