This song, this video, and the crowd singing along make it nearly impossible for a tear to not well up. The kind of tear that you try to fight back when you are so happy and something is so beautiful that you just can’t help it. Neil Finn surely has to be one of the most underrated musicians ever.
@@michaeltw1000 You must not have been paying attention, or you're too young. These guys were all over US radio for several years, several hits still are. Neil Finn is a national treasure to the Aussies. Remember, you can be world famous without being an American rock star.
@@estebanterrance5023 New series? Not sure what you mean but the whole 2 1/2 hour concert can be streamed for at least a few more months via Australia's ABC iView: "Crowded House Live At Sydney Opera House - An unforgettable event from the steps of Sydney Opera House. In 2016 Crowded House returned to play a cavalcade of their hits and favourites 20 years after their landmark last concert."
It fills me up with immense joy to know that I was lucky enough to be a part of this incredible concert. 27 November 2016 is a night I will never forget for the rest of my life.
Here's the thing about Crowded House: you can take thousands of people (or tens of thousands), put them in the seats, and every single one of them knows every single word to every single song. They elicited such dedication from their fans and rewarded them with the most beautiful music.
This could be the most beautiful song and lyrics ever written and performed. The words are a master piece. But the crowd singing is the best part. They love this song and group. I do too.
Ohhh, the tears just watching this video and the audience's response. I love this song so much, but I could barely sing along, my throat was tight with emotion.
Listened to Crowded House in 1985 when I went to SA. The song was all over the place, I think it was called "Don't dream it's over". Still listening, makes me happy and sometimes cry. Thank you Neil Finn!!
Just really discovered Neil and the band. Wow! At the beginning when he starts singing with no music and the drummer has his head bowed and starts singing along priceless. The way he is one with the crowd unbelievable
Two things- 1- Truly a beautiful, timeless song. 2- It has got to be trippy and humbling for Neil to have thousands of fans singing HIS songs back to him. An amazing feeling, I would wager.
THE infectious, introspective gem for composer Neil to leave his massive local Aussie audience with. Bettered only by a sustained note, an impromptu upbeat rendering of Carol King’s “I feel The Earth Move”, and friggin’ fireworks! 💥 Thank you, along with Nick & the rest of the talented band, for collecting us in this Crowded House 🌏 as we all miss our beloved “Hessie”.
At 1:22, the look on the young girls face says it all. She wasn't even born when they recorded this, yet it moved her to tears. Crowded House is highly underrated.
Not by me. Have loved them since I first saw them at the Aston villa leisure centre november 18th(or 19th thanks set list fm) and have loved them ever since
What a song and what a awesome crowd..and the endings epics ..loves its ..I hads # true colours in my heads as I was listening to this then heards the # Earth's moves ..omg that's my childhoods rolled into 1 ..thank yous 💯🎉🫶👍✌️
They are on tour now in North America. They opened last night in Vancouver Canada, and I was there to see them. Memories from my youth. Try to see them while they are on this side of the Pacific, there were a few too many empty seats.
No matter how many times I watch this I am totally moved by not only the song but the audience responses and the looks of absolute love they have for this band. Many times this video has lifted my mood and leaves me wishing I was there 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Crowded House is one of the anchors for me trying to age with Grace. :) I look into this crowd and see my fellow GenXers, mostly trying to do the same. I'm so happy these songs remain in the hearts of people.
I don’t remember hearing this song back in the day. Was listening to Don’t Dream It’s Over and came across this video. I can’t stop listening to it.!! Band and audience are fantastic!!
Se puede oir esta canción 10 veces por día??? y así en las últimas 4 semanas??? jajajajajja Es que es tan linda.. pero tan linda.. su letra, su melodía, el público cantando con emoción.. sintiendo cada palabra.. y bueno.. Neil is GREAT!!! Thanks for the Music!!! Salute de Argentina!!
The fireworks at the end~!~!~ This is out of control fantastic. all of it. tears down my face....in Coro Iso and feeling more connected to humans more than ever after watching this. THANK YOU for posting x
This is the most consequential meaningful song in my entire fucking stupid bullshit life.. it captures about every feeling I have .. in basically everything . thank you Neil :
Aussies are good people. Polite audience with a mix of young and old... One of the greatest regrets in my life, that I wasn't at this show. Timeless, endless, magnificent......no more words!
That damn guitar sits on its stand and never moves. Crowded House inspire me to pick it up and get back in the saddle. This was one of the first songs I played all the way through, I love it and this video is awesome. Getting back in the saddle tonight. Thanks Neil and boys.
I just watched a few hours of Split Enz and Finn brothers videos to reminisce the great music....then this!! It was the best of all. Just so sweet and happy! And in my hometown and I wasn't there 😊 Even though I was at the Opera House countless times in the 70s.
I'm a child of the 80s, in California, so that voice resonates for me very directly. Radiant loving sound. His quarantine recordings show he is as good as ever, or better.
M@@edwinvanderkooij8713Grow up mate. You got BONO and that peadophile ex priest who likes to tackle Olympic runners on the home stretch winning gold so ge can bevome famous for being a complete irish dickhead. Leave us Kiwis to have our own hero's instead of trying desperately to claim them. It's pathetic. Jesus Christ what next?
Música de qualidade que atravessa gerações e se mantém como umas das mais belas canções A magia dos inesquecíveis anos 80 que emociona através do tempo!!! Brought a huge smile to my face,What a band,Love you crowded house!
I was in the crowd as a very long term fan , with my dad. A dream. He has left this earth now.
Which city you from
Glad you got to share that with your Dad. Amazing memory you'll hold forever. That is heaven.
I now get to experience another crowded house sydney opera house concert in Sydney - this time with my own son! 🥰
Can't wait for Nov 22 this year
So glad you had this final memory 😊
This jewel should have millions of likes.
HOW COULD WE FALL SO MUCH MUSICALLY ???? WORLDWIDE??????
Nothing more beautiful than a crowd singing like this. What a moment!

One of the greatest singer songwriters ever
Neil Finn underrated? You sure about that 🤔
ACABOU DE CAIR UM CISCO AQUI 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
10,000 + people singing along to such a beautiful song and I get all teary eyed and goosebumps. Can only imagine how Neil Finn must feel.
Very true 🙏🙏
i know I am kind of randomly asking but does anybody know of a good place to stream new series online?

Been a fan over 30 years and going to see them for the first time live next week in Dublin.....Can't wait....😊💚🇮🇪
Stuck at home working due to COVID-19. Nothing soothes me like any good Crowded House songs :)
Hey, u cool. Stay positive, it will pass.✌️🙌🌟
@@marinaivanova7045 - thank you Marina, please do take care too, stay healthy and safe! XOXO
Dale Lin, where is home
It fills me up with immense joy to know that I was lucky enough to be a part of this incredible concert. 27 November 2016 is a night I will never forget for the rest of my life.
I was at the farewell to the world concert in 1996....so damn good.
@@Thisispants I was at the “farewell” in 96 and then this one 20 years later. Truly some of my best feelings
I envy you 🤧👍✌️
So genuinely connected with his fans...and they with him...Last time I seen CH at this venue Paul was playing the drums...🥲
I am 75 years old and this song keeps me young & Alive ❤

Best band of the late 70s into the 80s and beyond.
I love this song soooo much !!!
Greetings from Argentina and LONG LIVE THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE !!!!!
Just saw them 8/30/2024 in Atlanta GA & still sound great!
And yet in 2020 THIS still stands up!
2021 still
2022 even
2023
Aussies are the best audience. Ever.
I hadn't realised this band had thousands of members, wow, what a show.
I ass actually there. It was like 250,000 people.
Excellent song excellent band excellent everything. Thank you.❤
Listened to Crowded House in 1985 when I went to SA. The song was all over the place, I think it was called "Don't dream it's over". Still listening, makes me happy and sometimes cry. Thank you Neil Finn!!
i dont know how as the song wasnt released until 1986 - they were just formed in melbourne a year before
Just really discovered Neil and the band. Wow! At the beginning when he starts singing with no music and the drummer has his head bowed and starts singing along priceless. The way he is one with the crowd unbelievable
Neil dedicated this song to the original drummer, Paul Hester, at the Aria awards in 2005 after Paul committed suicide. 😢
This group should keep growing and growing. 2022
Two things-
1- Truly a beautiful, timeless song.
2- It has got to be trippy and humbling for Neil to have thousands of fans singing HIS songs back to him. An amazing feeling, I would wager.
Venkman007 ...and yet he remains a very humble man. True class.
4ucking brilliant, love from England UK 🇬🇧
My eyes are so clean after this I can see clearly. ❤ this song
embraced by Kiwis and Aussies the world over on OE's! God Bless Crowded House!
i'm 50 and still loving this classic...
This video deserves more views. Thanks for posting it.
todd barron deserve? It must earn it.
@@geinr8489 Your attempt at being smart got fully eclipsed by your lack of English vocabulary knowledge...
For some reason I have never heard this song. It’s beautiful. The crowd is the best I have ever and heard.

This song always does me in. The one song that hits me since my mother left me and my two brothers one day out of the blue when I was just 13.. ;(
At 1:22, the look on the young girls face says it all. She wasn't even born when they recorded this, yet it moved her to tears. Crowded House is highly underrated.
John Mazza a great awesome band.
Always dreamed of going to Australia ! 😎
John Mazza how can you say underrated with such audience’s around the world.
Not by me. Have loved them since I first saw them at the Aston villa leisure centre november 18th(or 19th thanks set list fm) and have loved them ever since
Nobody underrates Crowded House, for goodness sake. The word "underrated" is highly, highly overrated in comment forums.
I’ve loved this band wholeheartedly since 1987. This is pure magic.
What a song and what a awesome crowd..and the endings epics ..loves its ..I hads # true colours in my heads as I was listening to this then heards the # Earth's moves ..omg that's my childhoods rolled into 1 ..thank yous 💯🎉🫶👍✌️
perfection. perfection. I weep for new gigs. best song. best vibe best country. Nick
Very respectable audience wish if I was there ...crowded house one of the best bands of 80s and 90s
They are on tour now in North America. They opened last night in Vancouver Canada, and I was there to see them. Memories from my youth. Try to see them while they are on this side of the Pacific, there were a few too many empty seats.
Who the hell thumbs-downs this performance? Such love.
Thank u crowded house this song is my favourite I end up singing in my wedding easy to sing n simple plain words to remember
No matter how many times I watch this I am totally moved by not only the song but the audience responses and the looks of absolute love they have for this band. Many times this video has lifted my mood and leaves me wishing I was there 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Neil for all!!! The sound of my life
☆ 泣けるほどの名曲。
I remember this night. It was awesome!
My Aunty Rosie, is who I think of when I feel Aussie folk love, in my heart forever.
Este tipo y esta banda ya son parte de mi vida hace mucho mucho tiempo..

Love to Helen,...a second Mama 2024 RIP, love from Wilma n Family.
I was there! Thank you Crowded house ❤
I sure wished I could have been there in the crowd singing along all those hits.
I've seen the crowdies twice, including at the Farewell concern on the steps of the Sydney Opera House. Both concerts were two hour long singalongs
I just watched a few hours of Split Enz and Finn brothers videos to reminisce the great music....then this!!
It was the best of all.
Just so sweet and happy!
And in my hometown and I wasn't there 😊
Even though I was at the Opera House countless times in the 70s.
Neil Finn is great. Definitely underrated.

That's nice of you to say about us. Crowded House and other Kiwis aren't too bad either.
Australian are awesome people
And there would be a lot of New Zealanders amongst them paying respects to their national hero.
Freaking love these guys. Brilliant show. Brilliant band. Long live Crowded House
Absolutely beautiful in so many ways.
So awesome I hope this happens in nz aus u rock
