1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: I heard when you announced this act least no fear

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: in your voice whatsoever.

3
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 2: I thought this would be quite safe.

4
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 3: We had a cover, an envelope contains the music topic

5
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 3: to discuss this five minutes on the clock to film,

6
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 3: and there's no times of prayer. This's banter with Colezy

7
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 3: and Lisa.

8
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: Okay, Lisa, I have the envelope. I have the envelope.

9
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: I have the envelope. I've got the timer ready to go.

10
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: Once you expose what.

11
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 4: The artist is, it's crowded house always, it is the

12
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 4: mighty crowded house.

13
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 2: This crowded house, I would dare say. One of the

14
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 2: best bands ever.

15
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: One of the finest and one of the finest songwriters ever.

16
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: Neil Finn. What a superstar.

17
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,599
Speaker 4: One of those bands that you can put on and

18
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 4: listen to all the way to Margaret River on your

19
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 4: drive and halfway home again. Absolutely, I came out a

20
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 4: random a description, but I did that one.

21
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: And we know Neil's history with his you know, with

22
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: his brother and his bandmates. Of course, saying split ends

23
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: before that he was just a youngster and joining his brother,

24
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: his older brother Tim's band all those years ago.

25
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 4: Yes, well, to probably have to start there, just quickly

26
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 4: have a little background. Split Ends first band I ever

27
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 4: saw in concert on my own at the well, you know,

28
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 4: without my brother having to come along with He had

29
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 4: to come to Abba and he still hasn't forgiven me

30
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 4: for that.

31
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

32
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 4: And it was the concert hall, right, and that's where

33
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 4: you want to see things, yes, And I thought, this

34
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 4: is a bit of a rush. And then of course,

35
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 4: you know, Split Ends were great. Then Crowded House, Yeah,

36
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 4: was sublime.

37
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: Well, Neil Finn had a band called them Alanes and

38
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: that sort of developed from there, and all of a

39
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: sudden he had this new band. He had Nick Seymore

40
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: in the band, Mark Simil's brother of course, and Paul Hester,

41
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: who was the drummer at the end.

42
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 2: We just love and miss.

43
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: Drummer at the end of these Split Ends days of

44
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: the original lineup, and he was just a look. He

45
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: was the wacky clown and the band who was just

46
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: always alive and that and we you don't always well

47
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: know what's going on below the surface. But it was

48
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: a sad mise for rhythm.

49
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 4: Sometimes it's the wackiest of clowns, the most hurt.

50
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: We'd lost him in such a horrible way as well.

51
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, in the mid two thousands.

52
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a long time ago.

53
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 3: Now.

54
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 4: Anyway, I always used to think, and this is not

55
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 4: very nice of me, but he used to think, jeez,

56
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 4: it must hurt Tim, you know, because because it was

57
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 4: his band and everything, and he was the one. And

58
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 4: it probably all started with missus Finn, mother Finn saying Tim,

59
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 4: let your brother play, let your brother have a go.

60
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 4: It's like, no, it's my band, Like let your brother.

61
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 4: And then of course it ended up being that Neil

62
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 4: the really really I.

63
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: Mean, Tim's talented.

64
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: Of course, I think he had wonderful success when he

65
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: came into the band. He was just a little kid,

66
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: you know, pretty much.

67
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 4: Neil was then, you know, in demand by the likes

68
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 4: of Fleetwood Match tour with them.

69
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: Neil is and he wrote a song that was number

70
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: one for like four months, I Got You, which was

71
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: an incredible.

72
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 2: Start message to my girl.

73
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 4: I still remember recording that on countdown and you know,

74
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 4: waiting for Gavin would to bloody shut up.

75
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 2: So I think, you know, plan stop talking, gavinvin.

76
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 4: Wood speaking well, yet we know you don't have to

77
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 4: speak right up to the first lyrics.

78
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: Mumbling we know that that's countdown. Yeah, isn't it funny

79
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 1: how older brother Tim had Neil come into his band

80
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: and then once you had this incredible success of that

81
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: first album or to have of Credit House, that younger

82
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,679
Speaker 1: brother Neil asked him to join his band. Yeah, it

83
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: didn't last that long. It was just the one else.

84
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 4: It was just and once again I think missus Finn

85
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 4: rang and said Neil, yeah, let's give rather have it

86
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 4: go well, let him.

87
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 2: Have a little go.

88
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: But they went on tour and it wasn't going so

89
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: well apparently, so then Tim decided to go again, so

90
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: he left left Credit House. But Credit House got a

91
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: lot of the success in America by doing that thing

92
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: that a lot of bossie bands didn't do, and that

93
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: is stay there and just tour to a tour. And

94
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: they would because they had that incredible ability to improvise

95
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: and just roll up. Paul Hester would play drums on

96
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: the program director's head at a radio station, you know

97
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. And they went to visit so

98
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: many different radio stations and TV shows, and America fell

99
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: in love with them and the results were obvious.

100
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 4: Hard to pick a favorite song because there's so many,

101
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 4: but I reckon every time I hear I mean four.

102
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 2: At your feet, that's a fantastic one.

103
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 4: But I think every time I hear four Seasons in

104
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,679
Speaker 4: one day, I just think, yeah, it is this. Yeah,

105
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 4: I just can't go past it. I love the melody

106
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 4: in that song. Yeah, and it's so beautiful.

107
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: And no one writes the lyrics like Neil Finn, who

108
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: gets away with putting cumulo nimbus and getting in a song.

109
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 2: You know, and you were a song about a pineapple head.

110
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: You were at that fleet with Mac show when they

111
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: two were with Neils.

112
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 2: Not I didn't. I didn't see that.

113
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: So Neil Finn replaces Lindsay bucking An pretty much along

114
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: with Mike campbellong guitar. And the way that Stevie Nicks

115
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: and Mick Flickwood spoke about Neil was this incredible respect.

116
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: And then Neil got up and did better be home soon.

117
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 4: I was watching the Arias, however, when Neil Finn called

118
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 4: out our own Dixie battersby the greatest promoter in the world,

119
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 4: and that, you know, that says a lot about a person.

120
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 4: When the caliber of Neil Finn, when they're being inducted

121
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 4: into the Hall of Fame says, you know, there's so

122
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 4: many people they could thank, but they pick out our

123
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 4: own Dixie.

124
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. And if people talk about the great songwriters and

125
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: you talk about your Dylan's and all that, and in

126
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: Australia and you know, we take him as Australian these days,

127
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: Neil Finn. People talk about Paul Kelly, the opparial on

128
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: Paul Kelly, and of course Sir Neil Finn, because he's

129
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,679
Speaker 1: written so many wonderful songs. You've got so many people

130
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: now influenced by his writing and he's performing.

131
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,239
Speaker 4: And so it started with big brother Tim and Neil

132
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 4: and now it's gone all the way through to a

133
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 4: whole new generation, the.

134
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: Boys in the band. The circle of life in bands.

135
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 3: The time is over. Thirty six a FM, Clezie and

136
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 3: Lisa
