- Crowded House doing Distant Sun live on The Tonight Show.
In 1995 or so, I traded a Daniel Ash solo CD, 5 blank VCR tapes, and postage for 10 hours of Crowded House video. I couldn't tell you the name of the person who did it, but it was quite a score for me.
Some of it is pretty common, some of it obscure. I'm posting all the non-commercially available stuff. It is quite a project but another CH fan did me a favor 14 years ago and it is my turn to repay the favor. Watch all the videos and if you are a fan enjoy! PLEASE COMMENT, RATE, and SUBSCRIBE. I'd love to hear from you and I have dozens of more clips on the way!

Paul Hester.. what a loss.
RIP Paul Hester - Drummer
Songwriting, musicianship, vocals, harmonies. They have it all.
Damn straight...probably their best song. Big influence on me. Bloody luv em.
His voice is soaring in this..
This song = Perfection.
Neil's vocals here are just breathtaking.
Neil Finn's voice, the wonderful 12 string.... This is so awesome....
🍀💪🤓ohhhh yes. I saw him in Mainz/Germany 30 years ago.........
This song just makes me cry..I have no idea why.....
It's my favorite love song, truly. 'I don't pretend to know what you want, but I offer love.' Gorgeous, gorgeous, words.
Absolutely the best live version of this I have seen. Terrific.
just found it now! epic
At least he didn’t mix up the verses. If. U haven seen, watch Joan Rivers a few years earlier than this. Too dang cute!
Magnificent!!! Great version
Love Paul Hester's vocals on this, and of course his drumming.
Amazing voice. Full of pure emotion and a beautiful, natural rasp
We miss Paul Hester.
Neil's vocals here are just breathtaking.
And even now at 64 his vocals are still fantastic, I just saw them in concert and his voice is very impressive
Trop de chance d'aller le voir en concert. J'aimerai tellement y aller.
@@wennit Oui, ils se produisent vraiment bien en direct ! Peut-être que tu pourras y aller à un moment donné.
Rest In Peace Paul Hester.
Amazing group. Neil Finn doesn't get the recognition he deserves as one of the great songwriters and performers of his era. I don't say that lightly. I've attended many of their concerts. Crowded House fans always know Finn's beautiful song lyrics and sing even when Neil stops. Such a rare talent, he is.

Paul macartney said he was the best songwriter in the world, I'd say that's recognition.
Rarely a truer word spoken.
Ab so bloody lutely
Amen brother. Neil truly has a gift for songwriting.
Probably the best TV performance I've seen for Crowded House. Neil and Hester vocals are spot on. Mark Hart adds a completeness. Lots of energy. Distant Sun is one of the best songs on their best album. Should have been a massive hit in the US. It's their last song to chart in the US.
Neil Finn doesn't get anywhere near enough credit for his singing voice. He's sensational.
Love Paul Hester's vocals on this, and of course his drumming.
Yep. RIP Paul Hester
@@chuckfriebe843 oh no I had no idea he had passed away
@@jackkallemdjian3945 He, unfortunately, took his own life.
@@chuckfriebe843 I had no idea poor man,
@@jackkallemdjian3945 Yes. He was a musical genius and just a generally funny man. Who knew? Sometimes those that are gifted in that way are like that. They can be ticking timebombs because they see the world and themselves, very differently. Very sad.
How on earth can anyone dislike Distant Sun?
Nobody dislikes it
Perfect..just a perfect performance. You can see it gradually dawning on Neil that they are delivering perfection by the time he reaches the end of "...but I offer love." and you can see him revelling in the moment. I love the power of melody and musicianship.
Stunning... without a doubt the best band since the Beatles
Shouldn't all bands be able to perform this well?
Amazing voice. Full of pure emotion and a beautiful, natural rasp
RIP Paul Hester - Drummer
2022 this track still has traction!
This is live. Superb.
I think this is the best live version of the song!
Caroline Lee they’re all in fine form. Neils vocal, Marks guitar, Nicks backgrounders vocals - Paul’s drums - they nailed it
I think it may be the best live version of any song I've ever heard.
MrHooskerdu1 maybe the best live song ever.So Good
There’s no one to blame!
No doubt!!
Fantastic mix too, especially for live TV.
What an amazing song and live performance
The vocals in this performance are superb. The backing harmonics by Mark and Nick... Haunting. Even better, is how Neil and Paul's voices complement each other perfectly.
This is real music.
The song that got me through 200+ days of lockdown 2020 - 21. Each year that passes it means more.
Fml I miss being young in the 90s. Crowded House were and still are amazing.
Perfect performance.
I saw them in concert years ago. Every song was perfection. I think Together Alone has to be one of the best albums ever recorded.
No nets, just a pure and powerful live performance, by true performers. Crowded House is an amazing band.
Great work again Ty!
May PH rest in peace💜
We miss Paul Hester.
High mark for this band. They were very very good. Unpretentious great song writers & players.
Saw them last night in London; opened with this! Glorious evening - go see them if you can nab a ticket.
Great song by a band that I believe to be one of the best from that era. Loved hearing the two part harmony with Paul Hester on the chorus and bridge ; he is missed.
I'm subscribed to every source for Crowded House songs. Can't get enough.
Finest band and greatest performance by without doubt the greatest singer songrwriter of the generation .
I remember when they released this song and hoped that people would have embraced it more. Still one of my favorites. Another 90's band (thinking of David Glasper and Breathe) with SO much more to offer than what the masses actually heard!
Seems like it used to be that you couldn't get your international break in New Zealand, so you had all this talent coming over to Australia to get on the world stage. And us Aussies were perfectly happy to take them and claim credit. Now it seems NZ is getting the recognition it deserves :)
This song makes my soul explode with joy.
Wow. Amazing version of this song. Paul Hester is so good on drums and backing vocals on this.
We miss Paul Hester.
RIP Paul...lost my beloved sister in the same way :(
Damn this line up was good. This was when they were at there best - still chasing it and hungry but mature enough to have defined their own thing and not following what everybody else was doing.
Damm straight, the boys had the goods alright ✌️✌️✌️🇳🇿✌️✌️✌️
omg, van damme and crowded house on the same show. how did the universe not explode from such vast amounts of awesomeness.
I am addicted to this performance. Must have watched over 100 times in the past month.
Rest In Peace, Hessie.
As a fellow Kiwi now living in USA I have seen the boys live many times. I think this was one of the best performances of their career. They worked their asses off and I am so proud to be both a kiwi and an Australian (yes I lived their for many years to). Well done Crowded House and thank you for all the years of great GREAT music. I am keeping you guys alive by blasting your songs around America
Mark Brady I think I have to agree I've seen many other performances but this is the best.The vocals and harmonies are bang on and they are playing with a lot of emotion
Spring 94, happened to be sitting in front of the tv and they came on ( As it was then...)This version kicks ass. Then saw them in Boston a week later. Could never ever understand why this band was not huge in the States. In music circles they were revered by all from Eddie Vedder, Elvis Costello, and Dave Musatine ....
@@TheReubenKincaid I know Don't Dream It's Over and a couple of other hits made it fairly big over here in the USA but these boys have had a dynamite career. Before forming Crowded House Neil and his Brother Tim were in a band called Split Enz (New Zealand) and they were huge. Tim split off after 10 years of smash hits and formed his own band and they are still going. Love those boys!
Mark Brady Loved The Enz. I Got You was my intro in 1980. Then MTV in the early days played them. Then they vanished. I remember in early 87 reading a blurb in Rolling Stone about CH . The borrowed a mic tape from a bud that had DDIO then I was a fan ever since
You are the first to ever claim to be both a kiwi and from Oz. They are both distinct and separate countries and the kiwis I know, having lived there for 3 years would never claim to be from Oz. It’s a insult .
My favorite song writing since Lennon/McCartney and Neil has that ability to get you feeling every emotion in one song and sometimes at one time. Just magic, and I definitely miss Paul.
Magical performance of a masterpiece.
Oh Neil, is there anything you can't do? Amazing singer, poetic songwriter, fantastic front man. Swoon worthy.
This gets better with each listen. Great performance!
Up there with the very best songs ever written. Perfect!
Wow not heard this for a while gotta be one of the best songs ever written.
And another thing, it is remarkable how melodic and tight this performance is. God I wish artists like this would take over the scene again and take it away from the lame shit shoved at us today.
That, my friends, is PURE TALENT!!!
Dust from a distant sun, my favourite Crowded house song. Seen them live 3 times, takes me back to my simpler times in my youth ♥️
The best period of Crowded House and in my opinion their best album Together Alone. RIP Hessie 💜🇦🇺
Absolute perfction this never ages. His vocals on this is like honey.
paul realy gets into it hootin and hollerin....awesome
thanks
@Crowded House Live!
Neil's vocals sound perfect every time, he probably only does one take in the studio
Does anybody remember hearing a song on the radio for the first time, loving it, and then realizing half way through it was the new song from your favorite band? That was this song for me.
Mike Deveau yep, and now, twenty four years later, my group is performing it, and somehow I'm singing it.!?! I've loved this song since the first listen!
That's pretty cool. Do you have a vid? I see you're in Ottawa, I'm there sometimes. Play any shows?
We're pretty small-time and keep our chops up by playing senior's homes but we hope to do a full all-ages show or two this summer. Played Canada Day last year just outside of town and it was a blast!
@@mikedeveau7075😊
So good! Neil Finn is without doubt one of our greatest song writters. Such a amazing band and so sad about Paul RIP m8
Real song writing, real music...bliss
Pure Bliss✌️🇳🇿
This song makes me cry with happiness.
We Still mourn Paul Hester's Death. Such a great Soul, Awesome drummer, gentle soul. Depression is a killer, even if takes over you, Don't deprive us of your beauty by taking your own life. Paul will live forever as long as we speak of him. So let's continue the conversation for all who have travelled this dark road and obliterate it's toll.
Thanks for putting this up. I went to the taping of the show and my VHS tape is in such bad condition. Such great memories.
I've had the honour and pleasure of singing onstage with Neil, such a brilliant and humble Man. This was a fantastic performance and well mixed for TV.. for once 😁
Paul lives on with Crowded House, They haven't and wouldn't ever allow his influence to be forgotten x
Amazing song. So well written. Perfect meaningful pop.
Neil Finn one of the best songwriters ever
This was a great performance and Neil is such a good writer and performer. Miss you Paul!
love his singing !
Awesome band !saw them live for my first time last year. Too bad I could not enjoy the original band but still Neil and Nick keep the good memories alive
Their harmonies are wonderful. I keep coming back to this version of the song to watch the boys, especially Paul, play and sing the hell out of this.
Heavenly aren't they❤❤❤❤❤
This was a great performance and Neil is such a good writer and performer. Miss you Paul!
One of the most underrated bands that I know they are simply awesome
Magic!
Saw CH live (unplugged) in Ottawa with girlfriend in 1987 at the national arts centre .
youthful memories that bring goosebumps when listen still. Talented , you bet.
superb - agree that itsthe best live performance - best recorded version ever period? Love it :-)
Oh my, all these years...this band has been one of my favs. Neil Finn, you rock. Loved you long time! Saw you in Victoria BC back in 2010, and you didn't disappoint,. Music that will live on forever
Toujours aussi impeccable. Rien à jeter.
They smashed the song here. What a performance. I love Neil’s big smile at 2:30 when the solo kicks in. I’m guessing he’s just getting that big buzz we all get when we hear magic moments in music but it must feel a lot more powerful when you’re there creating it.
Neil Finn's voice, the wonderful 12 string.... This is so awesome....
Love this. I remember I was in New Zealand. And I am listening Crowded House every day and night.
Very nostalgic seeing Paul Hester there in such good spirits.
RIP Paul...lost my beloved sister in the same way :(
fantastic sound, they truly are a great live band.
Incredible performance!
One of the songs that really touches the heart . . . beautiful!
Crowded House themselves will tell you they are an Australian band. Formed in Melbourne. I've heard them say it from the stage at many shows. Especially when they are back playing in their "hometown"!
Yes we know the new zealanders always have a chip on their shoulders about it
These guys were at the top of their game at this time. Just a fantastic piece of songwriting, you can't match the vibe.
Crowded House always had phenomenal vocals and great melodies that were imprinted on your mind on the just the first listen. As a techie I am puzzled how the stereo sound is perfect on this clip while the video is less than stellar. Since sound is more important than video I am still happy.
I love this song so much . . . it just brings a lump in my throat!
It might be 1993 but honestly this music sounds timeless then and now, how many bands have managed that?
absolutely incredible. hester absolutely nailing the chorus harmo's and drumming like a beast!!!!!
Totally kick ass! Neil’s baggy pants were epic
Geez they’re flawless. Went to their concert in a tiny venue must’ve been one of the best I’ve been to
It’s 1:45 am here. Time to bed!! I have to wake up early in this morning for work. But I cannot stop tapping “play” because of that great band, Crowded house! Somebody help me!
Fabulous live music.
Really cool hey... Shivers up my arms... these AUSSIE's haha make me so proud.
By the sound of it the audience fully realised they had just witnessed a perfect performance of a perfectly written and crafted song. I love the alternating vocals of Nick and Hessie
