I took the leap and bought this. I haven't watched the whole thing, but I'm having mixed feelings. First of all, I think it's fantastic that Neil took a chance on having this fan edit the concert together, and I'd certainly rather have this version than none at all. That said, while it doesn't seem obviously amateur or anything, it does lack a certain professionalism. I can't put my finger on it and I'm not super experienced with editing myself, but I found myself *aware* of the editing,...

I am very much looking forward to watching it, but am waiting to see if it ends up available via another outlet so I don’t have to jump through hoops to watch it on my TV rather than on my computer.

I jumped on it as soon as I saw Neil retweet something yesterday. I havent been this excited about a concert video in a very long time; It reminds me of what happened with Farewell To the World, it took a good 10 years to get a proper release. The concert is simply amazing!!! The performances are just unbelievable to watch. The quality of audio/video is top notch and the editing is pure genius. Really makes you fee like you’re there in the audience at the show. Is it polished, coreographed,...

What a totally unexpected 10 years ago blast from the past this is! Just watched it all and as familiar as I've been with what transpired at the shows , it was a lovely surprise to see the cover of Thunderclap Newman's "Something In The Air" at the end! Coincidentally - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers covered the same song on their greatest hits compilation in the 90's as the only new track along with "Mary Jane's Last Dance" which went on to be an International hit. Fast forward to today...

If anyone's interested, the played songs that missed the cut were White Valiant and Long Time Gone (both Don McGlashan ), Suddenly I See ( KT Tunstall ), I'll Be Lightning ( Liam Finn ) and three Wilco songs (War on War, Outtasite (Outta Mind) and Hoodoo Voodoo). 32 out of 39 ain't bad I guess.

Long Time Gone is definitely in this - it's the third or fourth track. Storming version of it too.

It’s streaming on Amazon now. I’m an hour into it and I love it. This is the Neil I know and love, playing with a bunch of sympatico musicians who aren’t divas. Not sure why the edits bother you slowpogo - it’s just cutting back and forth between different nights and doing a pretty seamless job if you ask me.

I’m glad it doesn’t bother you. I’m just saying, it shows that this person is a first-time editor. I know someone who’s a professional editor, and like any art form it takes many years to master...it’s incredibly unlikely this person, who says his real training is in sound, *wouldn’t* be a little iffy. Also, there’s always a flurry of ultra-positive reviews whenever Neil puts something out so I take you guys with a grain of salt 😉. Maybe y’all just have your rose-colored-Finn glasses on.

Thank you, Ligature! Some real gems there I wouldn't have expected! California Stars, Fake Plastic Trees, plus several I'm not familiar with. Would have liked to see Elroy get to do his Cobbler. I was wavering a bit, probably going to have to go ahead and get it now. Great price for nearly three hours of entertainment.

Take the plunge Steve, it's a very cool part of Neil's career that probably didn't get full exposure at the time. Obviously there's been the album and documentary movie to delve into since but there's quite a lot going on in the set list here that wasn't represented on the album or in the documentary movie - It's been the preserve of fans who saw the shows at the Powerstation a decade ago until this week. Examples: Neil singing Radiohead's "Bodysnatchers", the Thunderclap Newman cover,...

Thanks @Underthewheel , that was my mistake. Great review @The Ligature ! Were those additional shows in the UK and the US billed as actual 7 Worlds Collide shows, or were they just Neil Finn solo shows where a couple of special guests made an appearance? I did up a spreadsheet featuring the songwriters and lead vocalists of each song if anyone's interested. Also included are each song's origin and some of my thoughts on the performance and project. You can find it here .

Re: New video released on iTunes of entire 7 Worlds Collide Concert from 2008
The show in Los Angeles was billed as "7 Worlds Collide at Largo", whereas shows there on the following two nights were billed as Neil Finn shows. I believe the show at Dingwalls in London which took place a week earlier was also billed as a 7 Worlds Collide show. The Santa Barbara performance was a case of Neil taking the opportunity to play a show with some friends at a nearby venue after The Sun Came Out documentary movie premiered at the Santa Barbara film festival, so that was a Neil...

Re: New video released on iTunes of entire 7 Worlds Collide Concert from 2008
I was there on all three nights and I reckon it's most likely 'I'll be lightning' wasn't included because on Night Three (from whence most of the performance footage is gleaned) Neil was singing along with Liam and made a mistake in the song. He alludes to it in a couple of comments that made it to the final cut we are all now currently enjoying... the first mention is around the time of 'Throw Your Arms'... At the time I recall he was really down on himself for stuffing it up and apologised...

It’s a shame Suddenly I See didn’t make it. I was there all 3 nights and it was a highlight for me. This release was a real surprise. I was so disappointed that there wasn’t a concert movie alongside the documentary but this makes up for it. For me, it does really capture the essence of the gigs. I had one of the camera guys next to me (up the front under Johnny) so some shots are really like reliving it over again. I am incredibly happy that this has seen the light of day...

Hey all - I'm glad you're enjoying the concert film. I volunteered to edit the film as a thank you gesture toward Neil and the other artists, and also because it seemed like something that fans would want to experience - so I appreciate all the warm comments (and even the constructive criticism - I can take it). I'll share a few details, since this seems to be a collection of folks that might be interested in reading about that kind of stuff. This all started in 2013 when I was reading a...

Thanks for the additional insights - I bet Neil is just as pleased as his fan base that this branch of his career tree is finally out there for all to see. I get a kick out of the fact that a twitter message is the origin of it all and that the work was done on your home computer set up on the opposite side of the globe - the wonders of technology! Have you received feedback from any of the 7 Worlds Collide musicicans? Were the aware they had a concert release imminent?

No direct feedback from other 7 Worlds Collide musicians, but that's fine. Neil had relayed that others appreciated it. I'm completely happy with how the whole experience turned out. Not sure if the other participants were aware that the release was imminent - I'm guessing they're all cool with it being released but I think everybody involved now has other work that they're focused on.

Jason: You did a wonderful job capturing the spirit of this event. In addition to the "relationship moment" you mention above, in which Jeff Tweedy does a double-take and returns to the stage, I also appreciated the brief glimpse of (I think) Don McGlashan and KT Tunstall dancing stage left; Bic Runga casually sitting on the riser for her background vocals; and Johnny Marr tapping McGlashan on the shoulder to get to the microphone for his harmonica solo. You and Simon Mark Brown captured...

Thanks, Jabberz. Ha - I guess Jeff looking at the floor isn't exactly much of a relationship moment (probably not the best example I could have given), but you get the idea. There was a lot of warmth on stage and in the whole room, and Simon and his crew did a great job of capturing those moments. When it first became clear that this concert video project might actually happen, one of the first things I did was track down a copy of the Sun Came Out documentary that Simon directed. I loved...

I don't know if there are any plans to release it via iTunes or Amazon outside of English language territories. Perhaps the concert video will eventually be made available worldwide via Neil's website, but again, I don't know if there are any plans in place for that.

I’m told it would have to be translated, re-subtitled and have the cover redesigned to be released in non English language countries.
Reply
Re: New video released on iTunes of entire 7 Worlds Collide Concert from 2008
That sounds old-fashioned... :-(. It’s a concert movie, so who needs subtitles? We saw the Finn family in Amsterdam a couple of weeks ago without subtitles ;-). I’d be really annoyed if the sole reason to not release this officially in my country would be the assumption that we won’t be able to understand what it is without translation.
Reply
Re: New video released on iTunes of entire 7 Worlds Collide Concert from 2008
I agree that it seems a bit silly to have to worry about subtitles for a concert film, but the language / translation requirements are indeed the reason that the film has only been released digitally in English language territories at this point. The distribution company requires individual translation assets for every country, and though there's been some discussion about it I don't know if there are any plans to create the necessary assets for additional countries. Again, my hope is that...

Re: New video released on iTunes of entire 7 Worlds Collide Concert from 2008
Thanks for all the answers Jaffaman and Jason! I'm a bit confused though, because there are a lot of concert films on iTunes in the Netherlands that do not have any Dutch subtitles, descriptions etc. For example concert films by Marillion, U2, Kings of Leon, The Killers etc. I can imagine translation requirements apply to documentaries and movies etc. (although even then it seems to me that these days people can decide for themselves about wanting to buy/stream content in another language).

10 years ago, you would have been able to order the DVD from overseas and have it shipped anywhere in the world. It’s unfortunate that streaming can be so restrictive.

Re: New video released on iTunes of entire 7 Worlds Collide Concert from 2008
That is indeed unfortunate. Technology is useful as long as it doesn't get in the way... At least on iTunes, these language restrictions do not apply to music releases. Surely releasing concert movies brings money on the table? The distributor seems to be missing a trick...

I wound up not buying this when it came out, but watched it the last couple of nights when I came across it on Amazon. Very, very enjoyable. Maybe a bit too Wilco-centric at times, but it is clear that Tweedy, and all the rest, really, LOVE and appreciate the Finns for the experience. Thanks again, Jason, for putting this together, I thought you did a fine job.

Hey SNBAL, Unfortunately the video was only released in English-speaking territories on iTunes and Amazon.

As far as I know, there are no plans to subtitle the concert film and expand the release on the current platforms. I'm also not aware of any plans to make the video available directly from Neil's website or You Tube account. But speaking of YouTube, the concert video is also...

I agree that it's silly that a concert film would need to be subtitled. I'll do what I can to look into it again and see what could be done to expand the release, but my powers are limited. I'd be a lame superhero.
