NEIL FINN'S SURPRISE MINI-SET AT BARDOT HOLLYWOOD LAST NIGHT

Quick note: Thank you Chris Douridas for reaching out to Neil Finn.  And thank you Neil for taking Chris up on his offer!  It was worth standing in the smoke filled club!

Last night's mini set was a wonderful reminder of how we long for the pure brilliance of CH/Finn and can never get enough.  Even after all these years:}  Neil mentioned how at The Palace show, someone brought up to the stage a Fatburger.  He didn't miss a beat and asked if Fatburger's still around, to bring one!  He he he...  Some of you were lucky to be present!  After Fall At Your Feet, Neil told the story of how he and the band forgot the second verse.  Now he's self conscious about to this day.  None of us recalled if he sang the second verse or not.  No matter... it’s all good!

The intimate show brought me back to the old Largo days (when it was on Fairfax).  I have met a great many of Crowdies (Pody's nickname) over the years and we've shared such memorable moments.  Last night, I thought of those who weren't there.  I must say, the Finn fans are some of the coolest people I've ever met.  Some even met their spouses at a show.  We should pay homage, maybe even a website?

Okay, back to this show.  With an electric guitar and amp, Neil played through about 8 songs.  Below is the set list.  I'm sure with the current technology, we just may see it on You Tube or something.  Choice!

XO,
