Customer Ratings & Reviews

Neil Finn has long excelled at writing pop songs that were immediately catchy enough to be earworms but that featured a riptide of melancholy that made the heartache, just like John and Paul. Several of his Crowded House and solo hits are featured on this 2-disc live album along with Paul Kelly's, a kindred spit of sorts. They trade duties on each others' songs, bringing new life to familiar material. I've listened to it again and again and have enjoyed it more each time.

Niel Finn's distinctive tenor presides over this collection, which includes selections from Crowded House's catalog, his songs with brother Tim from Finn, and his own solo work. What's great are his takes on Paul Kelly's songs ("Don's Stand So Close to the Window") and Kelly's takes on some of Finn's best work ("Four Seasons in One Day").
