Live crowded house woodface era concert youtube neil AND tim

The Fremantle show from a month prior which is also on YouTube is stronger than this one I think. This one is a week and a bit after the Byron Bay show where things came to blows... and was the last show before they brought Mark back in to play keys.

Woodface is a great record, but Tim never worked in the band on stage.

@silent stream really quite rare to find full length concert of this era ...

well, almost full length ... cuts off during Italian Plastic and missing the final song Four Seasons In One Day. Full version has been floating around ...

Great show indeed !

I have seen this before , I think on one of those VHS tapes that Peter Green produced for Frenz of the Enz  members way back when. I still have all of my tapes ( lots of ) in my big drawer.

It’s a great show. But there is something off. They hadn’t worked out the three frontmen (counting Paul) thing. So they all tend to talk at once.

During the older songs Tim disappears but once he comes up front his greater height and stage presence makes Neil look “little brotherish” and once Tim really gets going, with “Six Months” they seem more like Tim’s backing band than a fully integrated group. I think had Tim stayed it all would have eventually worked out, but the transition into a new kind of band was a painful one that wasn’t good for Neil and Tim, so they called it quits before it happened.

As far as the music goes I think it’s fine though, not sure why they really needed Mark: I can only assume that this is a good show and others were not. Or they saw the writing in the wall was that it was not going to last.

The piano break in Sister Madly is a pretty good example of why they needed Mark. Or Something So Strong with an acoustic guitar and no organ.

Tim’s got a very particular way of putting himself across on stage, and it’s very unlike the vibe Crowded House has. With the obvious caveat that the harmony isn’t mixed high enough, I think this Chocolate Cake smokes the one in that ‘91 video: https://youtu.be/V_kM9QqMJF0
