Saw Crowded House in Atlantic City"},"content":{"rendered":"

Atlantic City is quite close to my home, but my only business there is at the Courthouse. \u00a0I have no interest in gambling, and there are few rock and roll shows there that I absolutely must<\/em> see. \u00a0But, one of the great benefits of life with my beautiful wife<\/a> has been the way in which she has educated about music, music I would never have learned about on my own.<\/p>\n

Neil Finn and Crowded House very much fit into this category. \u00a0Ironically, before I ever met Emily, I knew that Crowded House was something to learn more about, as it had been praised by no less than Tony Banks as one of his favorite bands in the 90’s. \u00a0It’s not hard to understand why. \u00a0Crowded House and its diminutive frontman are proof that you can have catchy, “pop” music that is intelligent, features heartfelt lyrics, and is underscored by superb musicianship. \u00a0Emily and I have been to numerous of these concerts (Neil Finn solo and Crowded House), and it’s a musical product which does not cease to delight. \u00a0So, last Saturday we met Em’s sister in the cesspool by the sea, and enjoyed a wonderful show. \u00a0Here are the pictures, and for you hard-core types (I know you’re out there) the setlist.<\/p>\n

Mean to Me
\nSaturday Sun
\nPrivate Universe
\nFall At Your Feet
\nDon’t Stop Now
\nAmsterdam
\nNails in My Feet
\nNot the Girl You Think You Are
\nWhispers & Moans
\nTwice if You’re Lucky
\nNow We’re Getting Somewhere
\nDon’t Dream Its Over
\nShe Called Up
\nArcher’s Arrow
\nIsolation
\nWorld Where You Live
\nShe Goes On
\nWeather With You
\nIts Only Natural
\nYou Are the One
\nTime Immemorial
\nFalling Dove
\nBetter Be Home Soon<\/p>\n

If you’re keeping track, that’s about two and a half hours of music.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
