Yeah so true Neil has been one of my best since my childhood my friend Mary and I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days, and I hope God bless you to have a great day today, So where are you originally from? I'm from Overbrook 🌺🌺🌺
One of Bowie’s best, which is really saying something, performed by one of the world’s best ballad writers and performers. You could parachute this man into any city in the world carrying nothing but a guitar and he’d draw a crowd in minutes
@@Undercoverbrotherfromanother Absolutely. Not just an outstanding musician, also a brilliant composer and lyricist. I was a fan of Split Enz from first contact, which happened for me in 1979 or 1980 or thereabouts at the age of 9 or 10, living in the cultural wasteland of Perth, Australia. Would still rate _Message To My Girl_ as one of the greatest songs ever written. Musically and lyrically flawless.
I have never heard Neil sing better than this, getting better as he gets older, and can you imagine being his neighbours you wouldn't be telling him to turn the music down. Brilliant
I love how certain guitar players are so distinctive you can't mistake them for anyone else. When I hear this acoustic version, I realize how true this is of Neil. No production or accrutriment and that distinctive sound is there. I loves it.
Hearing this live during the broadcast was probably the best thing that happened to me the entire pandemic. This is an absolutely epic performance and one of the best interpretations of this song
Since the pandemic when I heard this for the first time, it’s become one of my all time favorite performances of any song ever. Nicely done, sir. And thank you.
Mr Finn proves in a fine way that the Amin-G sequense (at o.43) works just as wel as the Amin-Emin in the pre chorus which is also played by some ...Always been a big Crowded House fan myself,I find it fantastic to see him doing other people's stuff...Cheers ...
Thank you Neil and Nick for your kindness. I worked for EMI /Capitol Canada a while back. When Temple of Low Men came out. Working for a record label can truly be shit when you really believe in music and a certain band and you must deal with the "pleasure" of music business politics.. You made my job feel worthwhile......And I think of Hessie often...Cheers....
So beautiful song my friend Sean and I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days, and I hope God bless you to have a great day today, So where are you originally from? I'm from Overbrook 🌺🌺🌺
As someone born in the sixties and lived through the greatest time in music (80;s) Neil Finn has done everything and endured time.......I love him and Bowie and his talent is eternal.,....
Yeah Pat my friend and I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days, and I hope God bless you to have a great day today, So where are you originally from? I'm from Overbrook 🌺🌺🌺
Thank you Neil and thanks too to Sharon for the expert camerawork. These sessions are little oases of warmth and delight in the barren wasteland of corona isolation. I feel privileged to be part of the Fang Gang. Sending love and strength to all the Finn family members and their fans. ❤️
Wow man !!! You nailed it rite on perfectly. Still have that awesome voice after all these years at 100% and didn't lose any of it. Thank you Neil Finn. You keep inspiring and surprising. Thank you for this redo and I'm amazed. I keep playing this over and over. If i could meet another musician this would be the man. Have a good day Neil, family, and all your fans !!!
Allisha I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days, and I hope God bless you to have a great day today, So where are you originally from? I'm from Overbrook 🌺🌺🌺
so many have covered this song, one of bowie's best, and most just dont capture bowies spirit. but wow, Neil, yours , is fantastic! the very best cover of this fantastic song, ever. well done mate!
I can't think of a better person to cover this song. I feel Neil captured Bowie's spirit and emotion with this cover - one of my favorite Bowie songs. Thank you Neil.
Me too. I’ve been completely obsessed with the song since I first heard it on the live David Bowie album, Stage, in 1980 (it was a yellow vinyl version).
@@JPHOT100 I first heard it on TOTPs in 1977. Bowie seemed like an alien in denim. Then I kissed my first love to the tune. Ever since its tingled my heart
Some people make a hard piece look easy. This is a great sounding arrangement and I see every complicated little thing I hear and he doesn't miss a beat. Profesional
I can still picture him in a kilt on stage at the Arlington Theater in Santa Barbara in the late 1980's. . . Neil is .still making great music and creating mesmerizing performances.
Neil & co, greetings from the island of the wizard of Oz. We were born in the seventies and grew up with you in the 80's here in the sunburnt country. You and yours are inextricably part of us and our formative life experience, and we consider it a greatest blessing 💜👌
I'm so in awe of both Neil Finn and the late David Bowie...this was one of those magic discoveries on RUclips...not sure how I got here...but so glad I did...a treasure of a musician paying tribute to another...brilliant!!!
I don't know why but his song makes me cry each time it is properly performed an I'm crying right now... This magnificent song deserved to be song interpreted that way, thank you sir
So rock and beautiful my friend Jeannette and I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days, and I hope God bless you to have a great day today, So where are you originally from? I'm from Overbrook 🌺🌺🌺
I heard Mr. Finns voice -analyzed it, and was instantly jealous. Now I see him and consider myself lucky to have all five senses. Thanks for the tunes.
Neil Finn singing my David Bowie‘s heroes.... brilliantly and like crowded house and split ends before them Neil Finn is also a legend.... brilliant brilliant songwriter....xxxxoooo
I grew up in the 90s and my mum always played crowded house. Damn thank you to my mum who influenced me to have great taste in music. I love 80s and 90s music.
An incredibly talented and prolific singer/songwriter honoring another incredibly talented and prolific singer/songwriter. Well done Mr. Finn. And after this virus passes, I will yet again "get to know the feeling of liberation and release".
@@RickDelmonico wow, you're so lucky. I missed seeing Hessie by a few weeks. His quitting the band hadn't even been announced yet. I saw Nick as he went out the door. I should have asked for an autograph, but he took me by surprise.
@@BennettsShed That had to be incredible. I was so happy he rejoined for a while. His passing affected me so deeply, and now Chris Cornell and Leonard Cohen are gone, too. Neil and Eddie Veddie, take care of yourselves, I need to have some heroes left.
So much talented my friend and I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days, and I hope God bless you to have a great day today, So where are you originally from? I'm from Overbrook 🌺🌺🌺
So beautiful my friend Brian and I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days, and I hope God bless you to have a great day today, So where are you originally from? I'm from Overbrook 🌺🌺🌺

1993 Together alone tour..... missed it through illness. But you always kept me going and still do. Just got over COVID. Put on some Crowded House and immediately my mood lifted. Keep going Neil. You’re great!!
Saw Crowded House back on the Woodface tour. To this day, it was the most enjoyable concert I've seen. Every one of them just seemed to really enjoy playing. Can't wait until Neil comes back around the states.

Yes, there is, period.
Totally!
so you dont hear hear the bass line?
@@tkomauer Everything I hear is either voice or acoustic guitar, simultaneous, single take. I'm guessing that you don't play guitar.
love it, im 63
That Most Certainly Was Bowie's Immortality Coming Through And Hitching A Ride With Neil Finn.....Great Ride.....Well Driven.
Neil Finn covering David Bowie, absolutely perfect.
Yeah so true Neil has been one of my best since my childhood my friend Mary and I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days, and I hope God bless you to have a great day today, So where are you originally from? I'm from Overbrook 🌺🌺🌺
Pretty good
I wish I lived next door to him.
every Kiwi want's to be Neils Neighbour
Neil Finn, never young, never old, always cool.
Isn't he? He's so fookin talented too.
And always with great hair.
So true.well said.
Love his hair too
Well said.
One of Bowie’s best, which is really saying something, performed by one of the world’s best ballad writers and performers.
You could parachute this man into any city in the world carrying nothing but a guitar and he’d draw a crowd in minutes

He'd draw in a crowded house
Hits that high note with no fear. What a legend.
@josephcrsn You should have stuck to a previous comment of yours about not being able to sing. Bowie had a range of more that 3 1/2 octaves.
The little fill on the A string is awesome!👍
i try it with this song awesome
gave it a crack myself, so good...fek I love da toob :)
What about the fill on the c string ha ha
Love it
My favorite too Adam 👌
I have never heard Neil sing better than this, getting better as he gets older, and can you imagine being his neighbours you wouldn't be telling him to turn the music down. Brilliant

It is Amazing Neil Finn....

What an apt song...a legend playing a legend's song ....
EXACTLY! THIS IS PRICELESS
Yep amazing!
We can be heroes “just stay at home?”
Selsey Reclaim wish I could, we domestics at the local hospital are being asked to put our lives on the line every day
Couldn't have said it better. Neil is definately one of my musical heroes and David is the other.
You are such a loved individual ❤❤❤❤❤
Such a great tribute to David. He is smiling from above

wow neil just wow
I am a massive David Bowie fan, and a Massive Neil Finn fan, what an absolute treat. FAB Neil, thank you x
Amazingly, It didn't sound like Crowded House.
I love this man! More than 30 years have passed and he still sounds as pure as ever!
Neil took requests on Mixlr, Fang Radio broadcasts back in 2020... this was my request ❤
I love this man.

Hats off to you Neil. The octave up in the singing made my day. Stay healthy, all the best from germany
I like Bowie's German version of "Heroes" from the film "Christiane F. Neil does a great cover here though. He is a wonderful artist.
Gave me goosebumps!
He's just bloody amazing

Saw Neil in Split Endz in Melbourne 1983 as support act for Skyhooks. He just keeps going
Was anyone else singing the backing vocals like me? “I remember”... Thank you Neil. Well done.
Yep!
Oh yes. I can now say I harmonized with Neil Finn. Hehe.

Rock star hair. love the strumming pattern
PURE TALENT, LEGEND.
