hi , im lucky enough to have listened to this prior to having bought it , i DONT review things lightly , and i dont give this 5 stars lightly either if you love crowded house ,you'll love this ....... if you love great concerts , you'll love this . if you love great music , period , you'll love this , from the first ten seconds ,i was hooked , id NEVER heard ( or so i thought ) of crowded house before and bang ......... it was instant Karma , they are only what i could describe as New Zealands answer to the Eagles ,BUT , saying that would be unfair to pidgeon hole their music in that way . the atmosphere from this live cd leeches into you and the further it goes on , the more you feel like your actually there ,listening ,enthralled at hit after hit comes at you from the band . look at the list of tracks and you think hmmmm , i know that , and maybe one more , upon listening you'll find that completely untrue as classic melodies like distant sun , weather with you and private universe claim their rightful place from your subconscious to being entrenched in your soul . play this once , and you cant understand why you didnt get this 10 years ago , play it three times and you'll wonder why its not been played every single week ........Read full review
After seeing Crowded House Live at Birmingham Town Hall in 1991 i was prepared for a lively and entertaining show with the recording of what proved to be their last performance together. Obviously listening to this recording now, ten years on from when it was made i cannot help but do so tinged with sadness at the loss of the Band's drummer Paul Hester. He shows here, as always, a simple irreverent style of humour that had me and so many fans bemused by the manner of his demise. For those that know the band's work this is a fitting tribute to Paul and a hugely enjoyable piece of live music.
