Neil Finn Tickets

History may never repeat, but Neil Finn never disappoints me. He had a crack band that was at home playing Neil's solo stuff as well as Crowded House and even Split Enz stuff. I've seen Crowded House several times and it was a rarity to do any Split Enz songs. Even technical glitches couldn't get him down. Just plug him into the amp and let him go. I think his vocals were probably the best I have heard. It became a family affair when his sons Liam and Elroy as well as his wife, Sharon, all united and serenaded Neil's mom via Skype. It was a great evening with a fantastic retrospective of Neil's career.

Neil was in great voice, the band was amazing. He played not only songs from his solo career but he liberally did some Crowded House and even Split Enz songs. The energy level was there throughout, and Neil looked like he was having fun, as we all were.

I have been a Neil Finn, Tim Finn, Crowded House, Split Enz fan for a long time. I thoroughly enjoyed the concert. There were some technical difficulties with the amp but Neil just carried on smoothly like a late night talk show host. He is charasmatic and funny and his voice is amazing. My young son was was surprised to enjoy the concert so much as I had described him as a folky rock artist and he expected to be bored. It was definitely and enjoyable night, made more so by the addition of his sons and a skype visit by his mom.

Neil played for 2.5 hours, first of all. He was great, as usual, and the band was spot on! My husband and I were very impressed. The setlist was quite career-spanning, featuring songs from the Enz, Crowded House, Finn Brothers, and Neil's solo work. He played some songs alone, only with backup vocals, and switched between piano and guitar. He was funny, and quite the showman! It was just a wonderful, unforgettable experience.

Amidst technical problems with his guitar effects pedal board and poor placement of the piano(the view of Neil was blocked for a section of the audience) he succesfully persevered through it while being funny, engaging, and professional. He actually helped move the piano himself so that the whole audience would be able to see him! His voice was crystal clear and stellar for the whole performance. Whether you are a fan of Neil's from his Split Enz days, Crowded House, Pajama Club, solo career or his work with his brother Tim, you won't be dissapointed. The set was more than two hours long with two encores and it was comprised of songs from every era of his prolific career. The band featuring his wife Sharon on bass was tight and added great harmonies. For a special treat, he brought out his sons Liam (guitar/vocals) and Elroy (drums/vocals) to play with him on the second encore which featured "Four Seasons in One Day" and Liam's "Fire in the Belly". Neil closed the show by himself on acoustic with a memorable performance of "Better Be Home Soon". If you are a Finn fan and he comes to a town near to you, do yourself a favor and don't miss it!

I'm a long time Crowded House, Finn Brothers, Neil Finn solo fan. Over the years I've loved every one of Neil's live outings in whatever configuration. But this one topped them all. Neil delighted us with 2 1/2 hours of his wonderfully crafted songs, funny banter, and impronmptu family reunion on stage (including who I assume was his mom via skype!). Two encores are commonplace in Europe but I have rarely seen them here in the States and on Tuesday Neil treated us to 2 long ones, pulling out some of his best songs of the night. It seemed Neil just wanted to keep playing but had to stop to relieve the stage crew. While Dizzy Heights has not overwhelmed me, the tunes really came to life on stage. The band was made up of his wife Sharon on bass and a young generation of top guns who both rocked and brought out the beauty of Neil's quiter tunes. But ultimately the night belonged to Neil who continues to delight us with his amazing songcraft, unique voice, great instrumental chops and joy of making music.

Complete pro who negotiated around malfunctioning equipment. Still in fine voice.

Amazing, extended encore show, covered all the new stuff and lots of the great hits with Crowded House bandmates coming out for the final set

This was an amazing performance at an amazing venue. Neil outdid himself, playing 2.5 hours and covered everything from Crowded House, Split Enz, Finn Bros. to his old and newest solo works. It was amazing!

After a 35-year career with Split Enz, Crowded House, two Finn Brothers albums and 3 solo albums, Neil is better than ever. The new music is fresh, intriguing, melodic and breaks new ground for him (several songs also rock - Pony Ride live was incredible!). What a treat to see Sharon (his wife of forever) on stage and playing bass. In this show, Neil covered all the bases, from all of the periods cited above. He is a total professional, singing Message To My Girl like with all his soul like it was the first time he had ever sung it. My only regret is that it's so hard to cover such an enormous catalog of songs. Personally, I'd prefer to hear more obscurities than top 10 hits, but I understand why artists must cover their hits.

Great show that really showcased Neil Finn's incredible songwriting skill over the last 30 years. He's truly multi-talented - fantastic songs sung with an amazing voice while bouncing between piano and guitar. This particular night really displayed his warm and funny personality. His sons and wife all played with him, and his parent's in-law said hello via Skype.

Neil Finn was in top form . The quality of his voice and the talent of his band really shined. He performed a wide range of his songs from his Split Enz days to this year's Dizzy Heights and everything in between. Most of all, his connection to the audience through a very enthusiastic performance (in spite of technical difficulties) made this a show to remember.

PHENOMENAL! First time seeing Neil Finn and was not disappointed! He played his solo as well as Crowded House tunes. He was very enthusiastic and had an amazing rapport with the audience. His backup band was the same way. The evening never seemed to end (not that we wanted it to!) with him playing continuously for over two and a half hours!! Had a fabulous time from start to finish!

Having been a long-time fan of Split Enz, Tim Finn, Neil Finn (and even Crowded House!), it was very special seeing Neil live. Very, very special.

Neil was in good spirits and was funny as usual. The band was tight and they played a pretty good mix of the old and new.My personal highlight was Neil singing alone at the piano doing "Message to my girl"

The grand and opulent Orpheum Theater in downtown LA provided an ideal venue for a pared down acoutic trio-version of Midlake as they mainly played cuts from their beautiful new album, 'Antiphon'. Gratefully, the crowd paid rapt attention as they settled in during the set and gave these deserving artists their attention and appreciation. Neil Finn, as always, was the consumate professional and took to the mic on his second song. His excellent band ran thru delightful Split Enz and Crowded House classics, as well as liberal selections from his solo catalog, including "Sinner" {my personal favorite!}, "'She Will Have Her Way", and "Loose Tongue". He was endearing and fully engaged with the crowd throughout the evening, and playfully encouraged fans who had entered the 'off limits" orchestra pit to ignore the security staff pleas and instead just 'party the night away'! A great artist delivered a great evening of great music with humor and wit...what more can you possibly ask for???

I've seen Neil Finn many times in many venues over the past 25 years, and this was another wonderful show. The palace of fine arts in San Francisco is an awesome venue, with wonderful acoustics, and a capacity of only 1,000.

The Orpheun Theatre is a beautiful venue for any band to play! The music from Neil Finn was amplified there and was amazing. Totally enjoyed being part of the night.

This was one of my top 5 performances ever seen! I have been a fan for many years and seen Neil with different bands and solo. The venue along with the atmosphere with the audience made this a very special night! I would not miss any performance he does in the future!

It's too bad this tour had so few American dates. I travelled from Detroit to see the show, (I have family in Vegas and L.A. so I made my plans around seeing Mr. Finn). It was 100% worth the trip. Neil sampled the best of his catalog including "I Got You" and a great rendition of "Message To My Girl" from the Split Enz days. There were stellar Crowded House tunes including "Distant Sun," "Weather With You" and "Love This Life" and many solo stand-outs, "She Will Have Her Way" was particularly good. Plus a lot from his solid new album. Other bonuses were a surpise mini Crowded House reunion with Mark Hart for a few songs, Neil mixing it up with the venue about orchestra pit policy and Neil rippng his paints getting out of said pit. A great night of almost 2 1/2 hours of great music.
