Got it. It's pretty good. Stayed in the car stereo for about a week. The other Finn makes an appearance near the end.

This was shown on VH=1 Classic a few weeks ago I believe. At the Sydney Opera House, from about 1995, right?
I only saw the last 10 minutes or so. Their last song was "Don't Dream It's Over" IIRC.

Yeah, that's the show. The liner notes say that the concert was actually supposed to take place the night before, but it had to be delayed due to rain. When Crowded House learned that few thousand fans who had flown in from outside Australia would miss the rescheduled show due to flight tickets, etc, CH went down to the concert site on the originally planned night and played an impromptu concert for the folks who were going to miss the reschedule.
