I , as an American, think that you Aussies and Kiwis should tell all all American artists to #$&# off and not play,buy or download a single one of our shit artists until the Finn Brothers, Crowded House, and Split Ends get into the Rock n Roll HOF. Get organized and get it done please. This is one of the greatest musical collaborative groups in the entire world and the crap they has proceeded in getting in before these immortal geniuses. So please get it done and do it loud!!!
I spent 2 days in Aukland and got in a fight with some local kids over who got to play a video game at the arcade. Old timey problems is what that are.
Great band. By the time they were well known they had changed a bit so their creative peak early on went a bit unheralded. Always cracked up when they were on countdown. Great songs and funny dudes
Isn't the internet great now vs 2007? Upload straight to your fans - way more people can see it easily - and you don't suffer John Campbell in the process.
A moment for all those who didn't know History Never Repeats from the first few notes. I wouldn't either - especially a live rendition and you just said guess the frickin song with no clues. Shame they couldn't both reach the high notes for the chorus climax of just vocals like the radio version. Best bloody part mate.
About a year ago I started listening to their music... and though I like many types of music I never could say I had a favorite band but now I think I can safely say Split Enz is my favorite. I like the eccentricity and how their music seems to be like if the Beatles had continued making music into the synth pop/new wave era lol It is fantastic.
I fell in love with them in the early 80's as a teenager via MTV (The United States of America). I have followed the Finns ever since. I'm so glad you have discovered and have grown to love them, too.
Absolutely love everything about this intro. None of this would ever fly on US TV, but I learned how being humble and grounded meant so much to Aussies and Kiwis when I lived and loved in Brisbane in the late 90s.
Brilliant!
Fush n chups
What a treasure, put a big smile on my face!
Poor Boy: decades old and still doesn’t sound outdated. That’s when you know you’re dealing with a masterpiece. Tim and Neil still look youthful!
Legendary band. Poor boy is such a classic
I saw them in the Tauranga town hall in the early 70s, their out their stage show was amazing & the musicianship was original & world-class even then
must be 2007 if Neil's "just seen Led Zeppelin"

As an American I count myself as lucky having seen them here in 1982. Great show. My gavorite was Pioneer / Six Months.
This is a gem.

As an American I can't tell the difference between a English, Australian, or New Zealand accent. You might as well be all the same people to me.
What do you think we make of Americans vs Canadian accents???
It’s all in how each of them says ‘Fish and Chips’ 😉
How great never saw this.
One of the best bands ever...love em.
Great Classic Kiwi Band
🤘🏾
Great Kiwi Band

Such a cool song. Sounds great here. I really enjoyed this. Cheers.
God these guys are legends even downunder. Seen them a couple times......... Awesome.

Uz "Campbell Live" a New Zooland show on telly? They should have dressed him in denim, he's trying to be so cool.
What happened to their original drummer?
FCK they are on mai stage Glastonbury this year !! but here i live Thailand, my fave is the video ^ months in a leaky boat.
Tim's voice is awesome!
I wish it was longer.... such a unique and timeless sound... bless them all.
My favourite band as a teenager. Neil Finn was my first teenage crush.
“She speaks to me in Ultra High Frequency” They still got it. I love you guys.

My first concert ever...I was 12. 1981. Forever in my heart. Their talent is amazing. Loved Crowded House as well. ❤❤

I agree. Kiwis and Aussies are mostly grounded people, who cut through the crap with honesty.
It wouldn't fly with the producers and executives. The audience would appreciate it though.
poor boys look at their suits
