what a privilege to have been present for this. i've never especially been a fan of any finn brothers stuff, but this performance was electrifying - no backing band, no bullshit, he just got up there and did the set like a fucking boss. what a master.
I have always been very familiar with Crowded House but would never call myself a fan but seeing Neil Finn at Meredith blew me away. Atmosphere was absolutely amazing. I will never forget seeing this in the flesh!!!
The Boot is a GP tradition.. not a MMF tradition. It became GP's answer to The Gift. It's been hijacked a touch. That said, you'll never see better than Neil Finn at either festival so it's well deserved.
@muddledduck You never saw them? Hmmm, I probably shouldn't tell you then that the first time I saw Crowded House was in 1988 at a private fundraiser I snuck into on some guy's property... then again I should, because this topped it. Like you say, the surrounds were just about perfect.
@muddledduck So SOo So So So GREAT!!!... loved the set - there was A LOT of love in the SuperAmp that evening... Smiles everywhere... and Dirty Three just blew my mind... Hands down best MMF for me. :)
@muddledduck my first meredith, and what a way to get into it! already lining up a golden plains ticket, and definitely hitting meredith again next year. magic
Mine too :) So many smiles, tears of joy, love and hugs when Neil came on stage. It's a pitty the whole set wasn't recorded. Hopefully their will be a DVD :) Definately one of many highlights. The shoe in the air thing, that was supposed to be for Paul Kelly only wasn't it? I think all musos of this calibre deserve the shoe in the air :)
@Lyb183 It is amazing, I met this amazing fellow after Girls, Check this site there will be a few sets from lots of bands at mmf.hopefully this is one

After 7 Merediths, this was possibly the BEST MMF moment ever... His whole set... And when Warren Ellis came out *sigh* *gasp* GLEE!!!
MAGIC. Meredith in a nutshell. Sunset on Saturday. Perfect communal vibe. Makes up for never getting to see Crowded House live...

The 'boot salute' is a MMF tradition for truely magic/outrageous or simply ROCKNG performances...
