Neil & Tim Finn

[CRAZY-HORSE]

7 WORLDS COLLIDE "7 worlds collide-neil finn and friends live" 2001.

normally i would feature "live" albums at the end of a 'beginners guide' but seeing as this is not strictly a Finn project im doing it now so if you dont like it done now....sue me!
2001 was a big year for the Finn's, both released solo albums and Neil took to the road to raise money for various causes like Amnesty International, Ox-Fam,Red Cross etc....
he recruited six of his musician friends to play in his band including son Liam,Eddie Vedder(pearl jam), Johnny Marr(the smiths), brother Tim, Lisa Germano and Sebastian Steinberg.
basically the band played songs from both Finn's back catalogue including Split Enz and Crowded House along with a cover of The Smiths "there is a light that never goes out", vocal duties are predominantly by Neil Finn but Vedder,Germano and Tim Finn all get their turn, only three tracks i do not like here,but only because they dont offer anything new or come close to the originals. however it is good to hear Eddie Vedder give us his version of the Enz classic "i see red" and also a version of Pearl Jam's "parting ways"...and it is always good to hear the Finn's live as their records somehow dont capture the feel of their songs 100%.
this album was also released as a dvd,personally i prefer the dvd to the cd as its always better IMO to see live performances rather than just hear them.
this is a good album for anyone interested in the Finn's and Eddie Vedder live performances!

all vocalists are listed by the link, except where Neil Finn does vocal duties!!
