Crowded House Live in Concert
Formed in Melbourne, Australia, in 1985 from the ashes of New Zealand's Split Enz by Neil Finn, Paul Hester and Nick Seymour, Crowded House released their self-titled debut album in 1986 on Capitol Records and went on to international success with hits "Don't Dream It's Over" and "Something So Strong." The first iteration of Crowded House was active from 1985 until 1996 and released four studio albums to much success worldwide. Audiences around the world were coming out in droves to see the band for their freewheeling and interactive live shows. The original lineup performed their legendary Farewell to the World concert in 1996 at the Sydney Opera House before 150,000 fans. In 2007, following the passing of original member Paul Hester, Finn and Seymour got Crowded House back together again with longtime touring member Mark Hart and new drummer Matt Sherrod. Their new album, Intriguer, was released in 2010, their last album before 2021's Dreamers Are Waiting. In 2016, Crowded House was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame and during that same time brought back their Farewell shows for four nights of live performances at the Sydney Opera House.
This hands down was one of the best concerts I have been to in awhile. Neil Finn's voice was in amazing shape and I really enjoyed listening to a lot of old favorites and hearing their newer music. It was really a magical night hearing Crowded House's music next to the Harbor with a crescent moon in the sky. I wish they would come this way again soon. It was amazing!
Crowded House was unforgettable. Neil engaged the audience and was quite funny too! Very talented, creative artists, wonderful songs. Excellent showmanship. The venue was perfect too. Great views at every turn. I wish I could see them perform every week. Phenomenal show...
Great show, second time that I saw them. They played a good portion of their new cd which is very good. They also played all their classic songs and no one left diasppointed. They even played Message To My Girl from Neil Finn's Split Enz days. I was about 15 feet from the stage, that is the great part about going to the show at the HOB. Now if they could just turn the air conditioning up the venue would be perfect!
splendid show, as ever. Should have had greater recognition over here in the US. Neil Finn is one of THE great talents of our times.
I have loved Crowded House for many years and last night made me fall in love even more!!!
was blown away sound was great the band was so on point
I have been a fan of Neil Finn since his days in Split Endz. I have seen him on tour with Crowded House, on his own, & also with his brother Tim. He never ceases to amaze me! This show was no exception.
I've seen them lots of times and every time they get even better. I hope they continue to play music together for many years. I will keep going.
Crowded House was amazing on July 17. It was clearly a best-of show; the only missing and beloved songs were World Where You Live and Into Temptation. They did Hole in the River, a haunting yet gorgeous song; and also Message to My Girl, the perfect pop song with which the band began as Split Enz disintegrated. My husband and I =both= loved it, and he's not even a fan.
What a fantastic time. My first impression when I walked into the venue was, how nice! The area is still under construction, obviously, but when it's done it looks like it is going to be just beautiful. The venue was set up smartly, with the ticket booths, then the food/drink booths (prices were quite reasonable), then the bathrooms way in the back. I loved the grassy area facing the stage, very comfortable, and I totally enjoyed the harbor and canal being right there, gave a great feeling of ambiance. Lawrence Arabia and his Prime Ministers ... I was not impressed with them. The songs they played were too slow and boring. And yes, those thighs did bug me; looked like he really didn't care if he was dressed or not. The dude to the left still had his pass on, too, hanging from his neck; that looked sloppy. The opening gal from California, I don't recall her name, just she and her guitar ... she was way better than that Arabia guy. She was simple, direct, cute, great smoky voice, cool songs. I enjoyed her far more. Crowded House were wonderful. No question about it. They apparently had some equipment problems during the set, but that didn't stop anything. They played their way through them like the consummate professionals they are, and even made it funny at one point, when Mark Hart said he didn't have power - loved Neil singing for him to plug into Neil's amp, that was great. The entire set was perfect, starting with some of the oldest material and then launching into Intriguer only 4 days out; great spread of their music, including the two Split Enz tunes which were just excellent. I never once stopped moving, clapping, or woo-ing my head off. Oh, and Matt Sherrod rocks! Absolutely loved it when Nick Seymour would go over and jam away with him. I wasn't sure if I liked Matt because I miss Paul Hester enormously and have always felt nobody could replace Paul ... well Matt, I've decided, is the only one who can. :) All in all, I had a fabulous evening. I will ABSOLUTELY go back for more events at Erie Canal Harbor. As for Crowded House ... I'll see them anytime. I hope they come back soon!
Loved the show----hated standing room only. Check out red sox schedule before buying tickets to boston house of blues
Another great show from Neil Finn and company. Always a great live act.
I saw Crowded House before their 10 year breakup at the Club Impaxx in Buffalo, then, after they reinited at both Massey Hall and Danforth Theatre in Toronto (past 2 years). When the tickets were announced at $10 presale, what a bargain!, we snapped them up. Before the show, I kept waiting for the crowd to arrive, but they never did. It wasn't very well attended, but bad for those that missed it, good for us. It was easy to get within 20 feet of the stage, center, and to access refreshments and facilities. It was a beautiful night with a great breeze. The show was typical CH with an unexpected real energy, considering that they probably looks out at the meager turnout. While there were enthusiastic people in the pit, I was almost ashamed that there were alot of people just standing around. The sound and lighting were quite good for an outdoor show. Crowded House has been around for a long time, and they are still relevant, so for those of you that "took a pass", you lost out. The best $10 I have ever spent in my life...at least as far back as I can remember.
An excellent set list of new and old titles, played with creativity and great craft. Perfect vocals, outstanding drumming! Danced all night and loved every minute of it! Neil Finn is so gifted.
I could not ask for a better show! The band were geat and gave a great mix of songs from the folksie melodies to the great rocking jam sessions that shows the band's wide range and great live performances!
As always, Neil and the boys gave a great performance, classic tunes mixed with new songs mixed with more obscure fan faves. They're easygoing, musically sharp, engaging, and were kind enough to serenade my wife and me with a special request--who does that?!?
There is no real way to convey how excellent these guys are, from their musical abilities (all of them are experts, some in multiple instruments) to their ability to engage the audience. They love their fans and love what they do, all of this is obvious during every second of their performance.
Have been seeing CH shows for over 20 years. It just gets better. Fantastic show. Venue fun,fun,fun. Some sound issues worked out as they went. But the emotion in the room, let's call it 'love', was practically palpable: Crowd and Crowded bliss. All good, but Mr. Finn's clarity of voice is so moving, wish the quieter stuff was played more. New releases off 'Intriguer' sounded even better live. 'Amsterdam" was a dream. Was that a cello onstage???
Great mix of new material and early CH songs. I would have liked to have heard perhaps a few more Split Enz songs - but otherwise, I was thrilled with their performance.
As always, an excellent gig from the guys! It's great to see them adding a bit more jamming into the set, and good that they do keep playing the ones we all know! Didn't play Locked Out though!! My first time since Avalon went away and House of Blues went up. I'm glad to see that the floor level has kept all the advantages of the Avalon venue, but the extra floors have added seating space and removed the claustrophobic feeling that Avalon sometimes had.
