27 yrs and counting. No stupid outfits. No twerking. No 50 dancers on stage. No auto-tune. No lip syncing. Just an artist, his guitar and a timeless gem. I wonder... in 27 yrs, will people still be looking for the stuff that's out there right now?
It can happen mate, had a 12 hour shift, listened to on repeat, got fed up. Everything can happen, so maybe, just maybe, we can get all world wankers other office, normies could develop a filter, pigs fly. Anyway fed up a this now, so there's hope for everything, no.
Amazing. Earlier today, I was at a really dark place. Now I'm crying tears of joy that I'm still alive and can listen to this beautiful piece of music. Thank you!
Torally agree .Writes sensible yet very emotional hits that remain classics and should rwmain classics forever and beats the shit out of endleass crap talent shows do8ng depressing karaokes and fuck all else!!♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
There aren’t enough superlatives to describe just how superb that performance was. Raw unadulterated talent at its peak. One man, sorry genius, and his guitar. If ever a melody raises the hair on the back of my neck it’s this. Utter bliss. Thank you Neil. x
J. effing C. its just perfection. youre right, i cant express. i cant get over how awesome his talent is. this deserves the 1 billion + views that plenty of other subpar songs get
Believe it or not it didn’t make top 10 in the uk and yet this would make a number one song in any decade for me. So much better than the utter rubbish we listen to nowadays.
"one of those days when i wondered what i did right"..... you lived neil, thats wat u did right mate. its an absolute pleasure to be another human bieng who lives at the same time as you and hears what u create.
Still listening in 2020...'Don't Dream Its Over' is timeless poetry. 'There is freedom within, there is freedom without, try to catch the deluge in a papercup...' is simpel a sentence of pure genius. It shows the strong songwriters skills of Neil Finn.
This man is immortal. This song will never be forgotten. Humans have two natures; the one is to take; the other is to give. They come to build a wall between us but they won't win because the good in us keeps us inseparable from one another. Don't dream it's over. We are stronger together.
I'm starting to think that people who thumb down a song like this are doing it because in fact it is so powerful and real that it reminds them of their own life and suffering... so it doesn't shelter them as it does so many of us...
Who can say where a song falls as #1 or #100 of all time. Critics are men and women like all of us and where they place a song is always an opinion of the listener. The point is, it's great music. Yes, I said we are all men or women, there is no in between. If we have a scrotum we are men, if a Vagina a woman. Why many make things so complicated? It's one or the other period. You can tell me or anyone else your opinion but THAT is all it is, it doesn't change the facts and I for one will call it as it appears. I don't care about opinions, only the facts. Enough said.
@@robertjohnson3855 With your point on the man and woman issue, I 100% agree with you. But why was that necessary to bring up in the comments of a music video?? Seems a bit irrelevant!
Magical version of a perfect song. Whenever life gets me down this melodic masterpiece will pick me up, for this song gets me dreaming and there is most certainly hope wherever there are dreams. Thanks for the music neil for without it the world would be a darker place. Don't ever let them win.
this is soo beautiful, lyrics and melody are divine...got the Best of Crowded House as a gift in my 2nd year of university...1993?? And loved it on contact and it has stayed with me thro life and grown and lived with me..couldn't be without it now...it covers every possible human emotion in such a bared to the bone but emotionally intact manner...adore it and pas it on wherever I can.....

When l state on line we had some of the best artists in the 70s,80s,90s,early 2000,and today we lost real rock and this generation gets upset saying it's not true,lm glad l was lucky to see these great artists in their prime we will never be lucky again to have such talent,..
One of Those Songs ... you know those songs ... the ones that you remember hearing for the first time ... and you just know it is something special ...
I had the very good fortune of attending a Crowded House concert sometime in the late 80's. My friend Mike was working as a DJ for a radio station in Santa Barbara while finishing his studies at UCSB and comped some tickets from the station manager. Now, I knew a little about the band, but I had no idea how incredibly talented these guys were prior to seeing them perform life. I was, to use an overly employed term but in this case perfectly apt description, blown away. And more than the music itself, Finn was funny, charming, and very humble in his interaction with the audience. As for this song, there are very few hits you can come back to again and again that hold their initial impact; "Don't Dream It's Over" has stayed with me for 30 years, and its mystery continues to resound through the changes in cities, friends, and lovers that have come and gone.
So right! I attended their final concert in front of the Sydney Opera House and the emotion during the playing of Don't Dream It's Over was incredible. For Aussies and Kiwis it's like an anthem. So beautiful.
This song is amazing. It makes me feel like i can forget everything in the world and just feel so incredidbly happy. To combine emotions like that into a song is talent.
There's a mysterious perfection to this song. As a whole, I can't really pin down what it's "about." It IS dream-like. It's a magic carpet. It wants to carry you away in the best sense.
It's relevant relate-able and sets the right tone when your down..even today. Which is why these songs will last the test of time. Unlike many of the songs at present that are mostly shallow and forgettable
I rarely do this but I sincerely appreciate what you wrote about yourself and your love for my music that shows that you are really a nice person to be with in person.. where are you streaming from,?
Fabulous version. Takes me back to summer barbecues in New Zealand - someone always pulls out the guitar and eventually plays this. South Pacific influence really shines through here.

This has to be maybe my absolute favourite song. I can’t put a name to the feeling I get whenever I listen to it… it’s somewhere between devastation and elation

No pro tools, no voice pitch box, just a man with a unique voice and a gift to capture a feeling of liberation and release.
Thank you for summing up what were thinking of Neil 👍👍👍
This very likely was mixed in pro tools. It’s just the industry standard for mixing.
Hey now!! 🥺🤭
Keep it simple.He's a good singer and guitarist.people analyse too much nowadays everythings a big deal.
One of the very best songs ever written. Period.
damn right
One of the very best songs ever written. Full stop.
So true.
Absolutely incredible tune.
🙌👍✌️
I wish I had Neil Finn's talent. Great guitar player, fantastic vocalist and above all an outstanding songwriter. This performance is pure gold.
Couldn’t agree more - I come back to this performance again & again. Sheer perfection ❤
Neil Finn is such a terrific singer. He doesn't get anywhere near enough credit for how sensational his voice is.
Genius musician. 💯
Yeah he does
Im Australian, my husband was New Zealander, i miss him every day,
This song is so well-written, it's a masterclass of songwriting. Genius.
I thoroughly concur ..
One singer, one guitar...when you do it right, nothing else is needed.
True
And some electronics to add a drop of reverb to the vocal.
Some microphones, speakers, a mixing desk and a power source also helps.
27 yrs and counting. No stupid outfits. No twerking. No 50 dancers on stage.
No auto-tune. No lip syncing. Just an artist, his guitar and a timeless gem. I wonder... in 27 yrs, will people still be looking for the stuff that's out there right now?
beautifully stated Tony -- this is the perfect fusion of talent, poetry and gorgeous music
Magic Tony, Neils voice is pure brilliance.
A pearl in a modern world of musical swine. Thanks Mr. Diaz. Well stated.
Neil's songwriting and guitar playing are also brilliant.
tony diaz So true. Great assessment. Never tire of this awesome talent
Only certain song become timeless master pieces. This is ine of them. This song will never die.
Beautiful song. I for one will never tire of listening to it.
It can happen mate, had a 12 hour shift, listened to on repeat, got fed up. Everything can happen, so maybe, just maybe, we can get all world wankers other office, normies could develop a filter, pigs fly. Anyway fed up a this now, so there's hope for everything, no.
@@Phoeagdor My comment was written 11 years ago. Still listen/watch that series of videos of this gig on a regular basis......... but not on repeat!
Amazing. Earlier today, I was at a really dark place. Now I'm crying tears of joy that I'm still alive and can listen to this beautiful piece of music. Thank you!
Hang in there! ❤
Music soothes the soul : )
Purely and simply, Neil Finn is one of the best artists to ever privilege us with his music and voice. Profitez, mes amis
Torally agree .Writes sensible yet very emotional hits that remain classics and should rwmain classics forever and beats the shit out of endleass crap talent shows do8ng depressing karaokes and fuck all else!!♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

J. effing C. its just perfection. youre right, i cant express. i cant get over how awesome his talent is. this deserves the 1 billion + views that plenty of other subpar songs get
This song was one of the best ever written. A simple MASTERPIECE.
He took an amazing song and made it even a little better. Not an easy thing to do.
Believe it or not it didn’t make top 10 in the uk and yet this would make a number one song in any decade for me. So much better than the utter rubbish we listen to nowadays.
Song of my youth, beautiful and bittersweet at the same time. Brings back memories of longing and regret. But still beautiful.
In the paper today, tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the tv page
A simple line that speaks volumes.
"one of those days when i wondered what i did right"..... you lived neil, thats wat u did right mate. its an absolute pleasure to be another human bieng who lives at the same time as you and hears what u create.
@Bec Cullity. Hello friend 👋 Nice to meet you here.
How are you doing today?
One of the best voices in rock that I have heard.
Neil finn could sing a nursery rhyme and it would still be magnificent
I'm a Little Teapot
He could write an awesome one as well
Don’t build a wall between us (for Humpty to fall off)
Masterpiece that will live on for centuries.
one of the most underated songwriters of the last 30 years Neil Finn
Amazing voice. Super. You handsome singer Niel.
I adore thiS SOng❤❤❤❤😘😘
Just an absolute genius! Amazing track stripped back to pure brilliance.
What a trio!! Crowded House, Aztec Camera and 10cc. singers. WOW!!
From a programme called songwriters circle. All the shows were memorable, just a pity only a few were ever made.
One of the greatest songwriters we have seen.
Still listening in 2020...'Don't Dream Its Over' is timeless poetry. 'There is freedom within, there is freedom without, try to catch the deluge in a papercup...' is simpel a sentence of pure genius. It shows the strong songwriters skills of Neil Finn.
What does it mean though?
This man is immortal. This song will never be forgotten. Humans have two natures; the one is to take; the other is to give. They come to build a wall between us but they won't win because the good in us keeps us inseparable from one another. Don't dream it's over. We are stronger together.
One song I won’t even attempt to cover sitting with my guitar. It’s perfect. I enjoy it with closed eyes and a grateful heart.
What a Frickin' talent. You just don't hear songs like that anymore
That was a gift. Wonderful performance Neil.
I’ve cried during the first time I’ve heard this version.
one of the most beautiful voices ever😊
I'm starting to think that people who thumb down a song like this are doing it because in fact it is so powerful and real that it reminds them of their own life and suffering... so it doesn't shelter them as it does so many of us...
This. Song. Is. Absolutely. BEAUTIFUL!!😍😍😍😍
Plus they are cunts.
No, They're just douche bags!
There the same people who go to a concert and stand with a phone in there hand, don't know good music,
Love this song; acoustic version is even better. Damn, such a great song.
This is the category of top 50 best songs ever written of all time. Not sure where it falls but one of the best ever.
Who can say where a song falls as #1 or #100 of all time. Critics are men and women like all of us and where they place a song is always an opinion of the listener. The point is, it's great music.

Always loved, loved, loved this. And what a smashing bloke Neil Finn is, too.

Was that the one at the Arlington, with Roger McGuinn opening? AMAZING show.
So right! I attended their final concert in front of the Sydney Opera House and the emotion during the playing of Don't Dream It's Over was incredible. For Aussies and Kiwis it's like an anthem. So beautiful.
I'm agree Finn also fresh
Every beautiful thing you expressed…
what a beautiful voice it takes me back 20 years ago
30
+mectron63 Vocals are stunning.. I must agree...
Still listening October 2021. 👍👍👍Such a classic song. Will be listening still in 2050 🙏
Neil Finn can sing the phone book to me! Beautiful voice❤️❤️❤️Awesome song❤️❤️
Absolutely awesome song. Still after over 30 years. Neil Finn is great. +++
there is something in Neil Finns voice and performance that is so amazingly deep,takes to a place in my own mind that feels very calm and settled
When you strip it down to a one person performance, and it is every bit as good as TV, you got best.
This day, two dislikes. Honest, what's not to like here? One of the finest songs from the eighties.
Came for the music, stayed for the quality banter
greatest song to come out of New Zealand
an unforgettable song that every day I love your beautiful melody and lyrics
@Elizabeth Yarasca. Hello pretty 👋 Nice to meet you here.

Neil Finn is one of the best songwriters of all time.

This song is amazing. It makes me feel like i can forget everything in the world and just feel so incredidbly happy. To combine emotions like that into a song is talent.

timeless tune.

Good man, Keef!! Thanks for putting up these, and in particular the Roddy Frame songs…..👍🏴🎸
