Notes: Night 2 of the Crowded House "pop-up" shows in Melbourne, with the same format as night 1, an acoustic set to begin proceedings, followed by an electric set. 6 different songs featured compared to night 1, including another new one currently titled 'Dusty' making its live debut (Mitchell Froom's nickname, so I suspect its name may change before its release). The Split Enz classic I Got You was introduced by Neil with 'in honour of the coming, it's coming', presumably a reference to a soon to be announced Split Enz 2026 tour, in addition to the one festival date in Christchurch so far announced. I hope so anyway! What more needs to be said, another fabulous show from a band firing on all cylinders.

Recording notes: This is not quite as good as my night 1 recording as I was further off to the side so not in the sweet spot, but front row of the balcony this time, though it's still a really good recording and I don't think you'll complain too much. Enjoy!
