Crowded House Distant Sun on The Tonight Show

Crowded House doing Distant Sun live on The Tonight Show.

In 1995 or so, I traded a Daniel Ash solo CD, 5 blank VCR tapes, and postage for 10 hours of Crowded House video. I couldn't tell you the name of the person who did it, but it was quite a score for me.

Some of it is pretty common, some of it obscure. I'm posting all the non-commercially available stuff. It is quite a project but another CH fan did me a favor 14 years ago and it is my turn to repay the favor. Watch all the videos and if you are a fan enjoy! PLEASE COMMENT, RATE, and SUBSCRIBE. I'd love to hear from you and I have dozens of more clips on the way!

Aren't they from New Zealand, not Australia? It's just I'm Aussie and I always thought they were Kiwi

[ChizelMonkee]

@CjScott101 I think it depends on how you count. Neil, the leader is Kiwi. Nick and Paul are Aussies. Mark is from the US.

That is this line up at least. In the current line up you have two Americans, so I guess it all depends.

If neil is a kiwi,who is his brother....sorry im a bit ignorent,always loved there music,but don't know much of the backround...

[ChizelMonkee]

@karrzer Neil's brother is Tim Finn who co-founded Split Enz and later joined Crowded House. He's performed on The Tonight Show a few times.

@ChizelMonkee Ok,thank you,that clears that up,as i said im not that up on the history,just bits and pieces ive heard over the years,great music tho.....:)

[ChizelMonkee]

@karrzer Great! There's a lot to discover. Be sure not to miss the two Finn Bros. albums that Neil and Tim did together. They are fabulous!

omg, van damme and crowded house on the same show. how did the universe not explode from such vast amounts of awesomeness.

[ninjaslob]

Just perfect, beauty in it's entirety.

@dieter1215 Technically they formed in Melbourne as Neil was living here at the time, Tim only joined for the Woodface record. Neil is a Kiwi, but to me Crowded House are Australian.

Real song writing, real music...bliss

[MorpheusBride]

Thanks for putting these up. I had a friend back in the day call me up and tell me that they played on the tonight show the day AFTER it aired. That killed me. But now I can live again. :)

[beaglehowl]

[lukecannington]

[JDdeziner]

I LOVE this song! It's even better than the studio recorded version. Don't know exactly what's different about it, but I love it!!!!! Thanks for posting this, it made my day ;) Rock on Enz, CH and Neil Finn...you're the best!
