So they had 16 members over the years with Aussies included. Get over the emotional attachment all. It's a mix of different nationalities full stop. Mainly this mainly that, meh...16 members. God bless Australians & New Zealanders everywhere...we're in this together guys & girls!
First time I heard them was on a live local radio broadcast on K-97 from the Riviera Rock Room in Edmonton, Alberta. Canada. Guessing about 1980. Great era, great times! Did get to see them live at a later date at the Edmonton Coliseum, which now is known as Rexall Place.
My sister and I were big fans on Split Enz growing up in the early 1980's. Problem is, you can't find too many of their CDs anymore. It's good to see Neil and Tim Finn still playing together after all these years.
By the way, "Fridays" wasn't that great a show but their musical taste was impeccable.
@poughkeepsiejohn1 Really cuz amazon got tons of their,kind of cheap 2. i bought alot from there, try it out. as for fridays yea they sucked but the music was new wave friendly,like an early version of MTV.
This show (Fridays) changed my musical taste forever. I still remember watching this performance with Neil singing. It solidified my near obsession with them for 30 years now. I was 12 when I first saw them; I still love Neil.<3
@ThemanfromZambodia I think it was Jack Burns doing the intro. The guy who chased Andy Kauffman around trying to kill him on live TV when Kauffman screwed up one of the scripts on purpose.
I remember this well because it was the very first time I ever heard or saw Split Enz. I've been an avid follower of anything Finn ever since. I've enjoyed aging with these guys.
i still come back to this video after seeing CH live and meeting Neil and the band because this is their roots, this is where CH started even though they were still Split Enz. any music Neil does is amazing, and no one can touch or top it, imo!
Great band and a great show! Thanks for posting this, this show was never syndicated and sadly never has seen a DVD re-release. They had the most brilliant musical guests:The Jam, The Boomtown Rats, Graham Parker, The Clash, Etc...This takes me back to being 14 in my parent's living room!
@thepofmeister - ooh, ps - love the chorus on the lead/rythmn guitar... and the non recorded version extras on the guitar front! they just don't write 'em like this anymore. guitarists! let's bring the chorus back! yay!!!
@bs1174 because the singer IS a badass! Neil Finn is an amazing lyricist, singer and guitarist. anyone who says different doesn't know what good music is, imnsho.
Notice of course the Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 keyboard that produces the "wowing and meowing" keyboard part in the verses. I used to use a Prophet 600 which could also produce that exact tone. When I watched this clip it really took me back to the days of analog and analog/digital synths, before the Yamaha DX-7. Lots of programming on the fly live. Fun times.

@camc23 Eddie has been the real keeper of the Enz flame for some time. He supervised and produced the last definitive remasters of the band's catalog.
@SuperRondalee mine too!! i was 12 y.o. when i first saw him on Solid Gold back in 1980 (Harrison Ford followed next haha). i finally got to meet him a few months ago. he can be so funny on stage, bantering back and forth with Nick Seymour, and they are all such wonderful gentlemen off stage.
I love it, ok, but this song has always scared me a little, and when you add on the freaky mannerisms, it screams "run from the crazy stalker: to me! And then you see the baby face say "Thank you" at the end and it's ok...To say nothing of the groovy announcer with his sateen jacket and Jackie-O glasses. :)
I Remember " FRIDAY'S it was ABC's Version of NBC's Saturday Night Live. It only Lasted for 3 Season from 1980 to 1982. it was the Show that First Introduced Me to Michael Richards before he went on to do Jerry Seinfeld as Cosmo Kramer.
After watching both Split Enz and Crowded House videos , i have come to the conclusion that the Finn Brothers are very talented and seem to choose very talented people for their bands .
i may have asked this before, but what year did this episode play on T.V.? it is obviously before the Solid Gold performance in 1980, and if so before the MTV video as well. i love this! true Finn bros. entertainment!
@thegonz9 that is possible because the sound isnt perfectly synced to the video...not to mention it takes time for sound to travel thru all the circuitry.....please if you dont know what u are talking about.......
Certainly I would not complaine about there appearance . Looks good . However , I can't help thinking that they look like something from the late 1960's . Not that there is anything wrong with that .
i wonder if Neil wonders why folks are so intensely curious about his early missing tooth! LOL for me, it was just a part of the late Enz, early Crowded House, and the curiousity gets to me as to when he got it fixed. wish he hadn't cux it was really cute!
Great peformance!! Also Fridays blew the doors off SNL back then...too bad it did not stick around. Michael Richards, Melanie Chartoff, etc. made their debut on this show!
@youboob1981 If I remember right according to the liner notes on History their greatest hits compilation History Never Repeats, Split Enz was living at poverty level around this time.
@chowyunpat RADIO NZ ENZOLOGY WEB CAST SAYS YEA TOO THE POVERTY LEVEL. their lp bfore bombed and this was there 2nd chance w/dave tickle producing. label dropped em twice mush. records gave up,last ditch w/ chyrsalis. tru clours was there make or break chance. they made it yet strangely crumbled afta,weird.
@youboob1981 If I remember right according to the liner notes on History their greatest hits compilation History Never Repeats, Split Enz was living at poverty level around this time.
What a fantastic live version of a great song! I had such a crush on Neil Finn...and he's still hot hot hot! Fridays was a second-rate SNL rip-off but they had some awesome musical performances:)
this was the first song i ever heard of theirs, and it was on Solid Gold (I think); i don't remember "Fridays" at all. i can't find any reference to them being on SG at all, but that's where me and my li'l sis remember seeing Neil first. and OY YES, he was and still IS HOT. he'll always be extremely handsome to me.... even if he did finally fix that lost tooth... mmmmmmmm!
Anyone know where I can get a good tab for this song? Also anyone know the gear he's using? Sounds like a small amount of delay and slightly crunchy overdriven
It's a shame "Fridays" hasn't come out on DVD. They had some amazing musical guests:Split Enz, the Clash, The Jam, The Boomtown Rats, The Pretenders, Devo, Graham Parker and the Rumor etc
i noticed this too, and it is noticeable in a couple of other live videos (live vid of One Step Ahead for one) . but never in MTV vids or in more recent vids. that missing tooth has always been kinda sexy to me! lol he was such a cutie back then, and had grown into a very good looking man, imo.
I've been a fan of their's since this song was out...have seen probably every video they've ever put out...and this is the first footage I've ever noticed that Neil was missing a tooth on his right upper side! I've looked at other video since first seeing this and noticed it was missing all along! Any idea when he got it fixed? Just curious...
i loved this look, the string ties were cool too, Enz and Spandau Ballet wore them. the pop synth sound really defined new wave...it was great bein' there!
"Friday's" was a good show that didn't last very long. They had good musical guests and a pretty good cast. One of the regular players was Michael Richards of Kramer / Seinfeld / racist rant fame.

I've been a fan of their's since this song was out...have seen probably every video they've ever put out...and this is the first footage I've ever noticed that Neil was missing a tooth on his right upper side! I've looked at other video since first seeing this and noticed it was missing all along! Any idea when he got it fixed? Just curious...

"Friday's" was a good show that didn't last very long. They had good musical guests and a pretty good cast. One of the regular players was Michael Richards of Kramer / Seinfeld / racist rant fame.

Great song. Pity some of Neil Finn's later stuff is so bland.

What a long and wonderful career these guys have enjoyed- One the few bands I've always wanted to see live, They don't get out on tour too much.
