Synopsis

Album Description

Formerly of Crowded House and Spit Enz, Neil Finn has embarked on a successful solo career, which can be heard and seen on the CD and DVD release of his live album, Seven Worlds Collide, which features such guests as Eddie Vedder, Lisa Germano, and others...

In April 2001, Neil banded together with Johnny Marr, Eddie Vedder, Radiohead's Phil Selway and Ed O'Brien, Neil's brother Tim, Lisa Germano and Betchadupa (featuring Neil's son, Liam, on vocals) for a 5-night stint at the St. James' Theatre in Auckland, New Zealand. The resulting album and DVD, 7 Worlds Collide, features the best and highly memorable moments from each of the aforementioned artists in what was a week of enchanted evenings. Making a memorable event even more poignant, all artists contributing to the CD and DVD are contributing their royalties to Doctors Without Borders to assist with medical work in Afghanistan.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This record is just fantastic. Neil Finn is most likely the best songwriter around. Neil Finn and Paul McCartney, that's pretty much it as `Worlds best songwriters' goes, in my opinion. To hear him play with friends and professionals, even family, like he does on this album is a privilege.

Essentially Neil planned to get together with some musicians he admires (Johnny Marr, Eddie Vedder, Lisa Germano a.o.), rehearse in comfortable surroundings in New Zealand, play a few gigs as a band and disband. In addition he brought his brother Tim Finn and his son Liam with his band Betchadupa along for the gig, and that's pretty much it.

What came out of this is just so good, I almost feel like crying, I'm so upset I couldn't be there to witness it. But the good news is of course this CD and the wonderful concert DVD released at the same time.

There are a couple of mild duds (Johnny Marr on his own is a rather pedestrian affair), but all over this is just a sensory festival. Highpoint of the affair, Eddie Vedder and Tim Finn rocking out alongside the kids in Betchadupa to Uncle Tim's 'I See Red', with a proud Neil watching from the side.

An early version of Edible Flowers (later released on Everyone is here) sends shivers down my spine, showing that the Finn Brothers grasp on a great tune and superior lyrics are as strong as ever.

Buy it, now!
