Crowded House did the NIA last night. Originally scheduled for June 2020, it was moved to June 2021 then June 2022. Thankfully, this time it went ahead.
And boy were they good. Neil Finn is in his prime, and to be sure he is a phenomenally good guitarist!
For a band as good as CH, there are always going to be omissions from the set list, but in reality watching them last night was a sheer joy, and it appeared that the band were loving being back playing live too.
Also, contrary to expectation, they rocked. Elements of the gig were close to being psychedelic, and there were numerous heavy guitar sections.
Mrs jelly came out wondering if Neil Finns voice is going a bit. I didn’t think so, he seemed really on form to me but his guitar playing really blew me away.
Superb.
