Crowded House concert set list

My longtime favorite band Crowded House is in town on their Time On Earth tour, and I got a chance to catch them in a phenomenal show at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga, CA, last night. The Mountain Winery is a small 2,500 seat venue that's up in the hills above Silicon Valley. Once the sun sets, the lights of San Jose and all the surrounding cities glimmer on the valley floor.

And as a bonus last night, the almost-full moon rose about a third of the way into Crowded House's set and was so impressive that Neil Finn stopped the show, told us to all stand up and turn around to see the moon rise across the valley floor.

You could really tell the band enjoyed playing together, as the banter was going full force, and the show felt more like watching good friends play songs for you in their living room than the larger affair it actually was.

I kept track, and the set list from the 2+ hour show:
  • There Goes God
  • World Where You Live
  • Say That Again
  • Don't Stop Now
  • Fall At Your Feet
  • Distant Sun
  • Silent House
  • You Are The Only One To Make Me Cry
(moon rises, we all look, and they do a partial cover of Van Morrison's Moondance)
  • Nails in My Feet
  • Don't Dream It's Over
  • Pineapple Head
  • People Are Like Suns
  • When You Come
  • Something So Strong
encore
  • Locked Out
  • She Called Up
  • Weather With You
encore encore
  • Fingers of Love
  • She Goes On
  • Four Seasons in One Day
  • Better Be Home Soon sing along (this was an acoustic version, as the venue staff had pulled the plug on the sound due to curfew. Neil led us on an extended version as an "F you" to the man)
There's still quite a few dates left on their tour, so by all means buy a ticket and enjoy the show.
