Description

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. Neil Finn’s band returns to the scene of their 1996 farewell show, with two plus hours of hits and jamming in front of 6,000 enraptured fans.

Before the start of the concert is an in-depth interview with the entire band discussing the anniversary and playing again at the city Opera House after 20 years fairly insightful interview that proceeds the concert.

Crowded House returned to the place where they called time. Exactly 20 years ago, on 24 November 1996 under a full moon, the band played their final Farewell to the World show to 100,000 adoring fans on the forecourt of Sydney’s Opera House. This time, 6,000 equally adoring fans took their places on a much more safely cordoned off forecourt to see the band return to that stage for the first of four sold-out shows entitled Crowded House: Encore.

Fittingly, the band closes the two-hour show with Better Be Home Soon, sweeping everyone along on a wave of swelling emotion. Earlier Finn thanked the crowd for attending, saying: “What a glorious night to be alive on the planet.” And it’s clear that this is what tonight – and their return – is all about. These are musicians at the top of their game; playful, joyful and thrilled to be back doing what they love best. It seems it wasn’t their time to go after all.
