Crowded House Glasgow Review: Classics Shine Brighter Than Ever
You know those gigs that you go to hoping for the best, but secretly worrying it might be a bit of a let-down? Yeah, well, Crowded House in Glasgow was not one of those gigs.
It was a night that truly felt like a homecoming, a reunion with old friends whose music has soundtracked our lives for decades. And they didn't disappoint.
The band, fronted by the ever-charming Neil Finn, played a set packed with crowd-pleasing hits. From the opening chords of "Weather With You" to the singalong euphoria of "Don't Dream It's Over," the atmosphere was electric.
A Masterclass in Songwriting
Finn's voice, still as smooth as velvet, rang out with the same timeless quality that has made Crowded House such a beloved act. The band, a tight unit with a blend of experienced hands and fresh faces, delivered every song with precision and passion.
While classics like "Something So Strong" and "Fall at Your Feet" were pure nostalgia, it was the lesser-known tracks that truly surprised. "It's Only Natural" was a joyous highlight, while "Distant Sun" felt even more powerful with the added weight of time.
A Night Filled With Memories
The setlist was a perfect blend of familiar favorites and deeper cuts, a testament to the band's incredible songwriting depth. As the evening went on, the energy in the room kept growing, reaching a fever pitch during a stunning rendition of "Better Be Home Soon."
It was a reminder that Crowded House's music transcends generations, connecting with audiences on a visceral, emotional level.
If you ever get the chance to see Crowded House live, don't hesitate. It's an experience you won't forget. The classics shine brighter than ever, and their music continues to resonate with the same power it did all those years ago.
