Neil Finn - Sydney Opera House 2009 - Don't Dream It's Over

[mojohifi5]

the memories of yesterday!

[musicshewrote]

wow. what an honor. He so deserved this.

[greenbelter123]

He get's better with age

[bradpamp]

MASTER

[theherd53]

Man he sounds good. What a classic performance.

[Hiccup68]

Fantastic !!

[rockriver9]

Best version of this song....ever .Thanks so much for posting this video--my head still can't believe what all it just took in by hearing this. Wow.

[ShamanMick]

This is an amazing arrangement. So much subtlety in the way he sings and plays.

[GozerTheGozerian]

This is a pretty good version but no one does it better than Kid Rock! It's probably like his third best song, after the classics "Bawitdaba (a Bang a Dang Diggy Up Jump the Boogie)" and "Born Free."

But you have to give props to the original writer of the song – he wrote it, and Kid Rock took it to its true potential. That's what's so amazing about Kid Rock.

[DiceExpress17]

@GozerTheGozerian ...You're kidding, right?

[NonSilentKiller]

@GozerTheGozerian i don't know who you are but i hate your guts.

[travismanor]

God it must've been strange playing with no interaction with the audience! Great version though!

[Jozz57]

Neil Finn, a poet, a musician, a beautiful voice.... amazing as ever

[Jozz57]

Neil Finn, a poet, a musician, a beautiful voice....

[zaratino1000]

Oh yes, I remember her well. Amazing song, great Neil Finn, wonderfull music from great 80-ies! thanks for posting it!

[D4rKsideBob]

Neil Finn is up there with McCartney when it comes to song writing. The man writes lyrics that will be sung long after we're all dust. Future generations have a lot to look forward to. Lucky us Lucky them.

[fitzpantsenson]

sounding better than ever.. completely awesome

[AucklandNZ1]

Our brilliant and very own Neil Finn

[tbcleto76]

Neil still has an amazing voice! Best song ever

[GaryLeeMcKinney]

This is an awesome video, but really, why do people insist on speaking utter nonsense before stuff like this? "It was indeed a Crowded House that night". Suuuuck!

[soccerdogg007]

This is one of those songs that just halts you in your trcaks and takes you back to a time when things were a bit more innocent. I guess its the mark of a great song writer/singer when a piece can draw that out of you.

[pejeeshur]

Crowded House one of the best groups... no doubt

[Gcmy]

he is natural born singer

[SlayeCohen]

Unfortunately the age takes him =/, but he's still great =D

[Revelnoc]

The Man, The Music, The Guitar,.....utter brilliance...One of the best song writers to grace this planet, if not the Best :)

[rwc20071]

beautiful

[icanwaitanotherday]

Excellent! I LOVED the guitar solo- he is brilliant. Beautiful and brilliant.

[LennonsDisciple]

Ma Man Neil dropped this song to C -Am-F-E7 and with capo on 2nd fret so you amateur guys can learn and play easier. Just OPEN CHORDS.

well that is what his publicist reckon anyway.

Anyway, if you want to check him cover Billie Jean, click on my name. Neil's a legend.

[leocordy]

Simply stunning.

[keoki9]

that was perfection, is this available on cd or dvd?

[dhizzylawl]

Some welll chosen words.

[1kerryq]

gorgeous, gorgeous performance.  Thank you for sharing this

[pjmaher78]

its one of the saddest things to think mr utzon didnt ever see the opera house finished. he was booted out oz halfway through the making because of the cost blow outs and controversy over the design of the building. one of the gr8est sights i have seen is flying into sydney looking over the oprera house and harbour bridge. breathtaking

[divorceboy]

I am still very moved by this song after so many years. Some musicains, songwriters self-destruct fade off...etc.

Neil Finn sounds just as good today as he did those many years ago.

Happy holidays to everyone who enjoys this truly pricelss, timeless song and his brilliant music!

Cheers!!!!

[germancrazydj]

Great Intro, got me goosebumps and a tear in memory of Paul Hester!

[souldiver101]

Great performance.

[Duoggle]

Oops sorry. He appears to have dropped the capo one fret. Key rhis time probably Dmaj. High note A.

[Duoggle]

Ebmaj. Nice key. High note Bb.

[SpencerIves]

Holy fuck. If you heard this and didn't know that Neil was 51, you'd think it was a 20 year old singing. His voice is so youthful and crisp. Also, probably one of the best DDIO performances he's ever done.

Buy Crowded House's new album coming out late this year! :D

[rglovesu2]

I agree, it's amazing how his voice is still the same after all this time. I didn't know there was a new cd coming out, so thanks for mentioning it!

[misscarolinec]

I didn't even think he was that old!!! (trying to forget how old I'm getting that means then haha) He was my first crush.. not because of how cute he was in 1986 but because I loved his music :) I'm baked and telling a stranger about my crush of neil Finn!!! Oh G-d hahah

:D

[keitaro97]

80`s people jumping on the seats stadium,now people just see this guy on the seats,haha,ok its a nice song!

[baaltshuvah2003]

Not sure if I really understand the point you're trying to make. This performance is at a memorial service, not quite the time or place for people to be jumping up and down in their seats. Do you notice how Finn is playing this song in a minor key, rather than an upbeat major key as he would usually do if this were a Crowded House or solo concert (where people to this day still jump on their seats)?

[aibangmaini]

Wtf are you talking about? He's obviously playing the song in major key because...um, it was written in a major key to begin with? You have absolutely no clue what you're talking about so please stay out of this in the future....

[xXpiredXx]

I saw the guys from crowded house october 2007 in Vorst Nationaal in Belgium and last year on a festival in the Netherlands: wonderful music, magic!

[MadHelicopters]

The song sounds so much better without drums

[tyson10682]

this guy is a phenomenal talent, no celebrity bullshit, just writes, records and plays fantastic music.

[BLDMLN1007]

god, so good.

[icanwaitanotherday]

fantastic! Neil is a brilliant musician

[manuelnegrete]

Really like Neil Finn, massively under rated songwriter and singer.

[mauricemorning]

I can't stop watching and listening! Did anyone notice he fingerpicked the organ solo?

[nicolebridges1973]

Pure magic!

[10228810]

スゴイ！どこかに連れてってくれる歌だ！

ＵＰ　ＴＨＡＮＫＳ！

[ejacobdor]

A pure moment...

[qazastan]

The greatest.........

[Viho73]

Just beautiful

[czdesign]

Lovely. And I'm so happy to see Neil with a bit of a hair style. It's been a while. ; )

[brisvegasfinnfan]

That was a beautiful version.

[canbilli]
