How do you think Neil could handle Go Your Own Way? Might Neil do a good job with Bob Welch material, like Hypnotized or Sentimental Lady?

I kind of suspect Neil will be a replacement vocally for Bob Welch, with only 2-3 LB songs, which would really surprise folks!

I think Neil Finn is a fantastic musician. I've been following him since his Split Enz ("I Got You") and Crowded House ("Don't Dream It's Over, "Something So Strong") days. His songwriting and sound are often compared to Lennon and McCartney. Even though I'll miss Lindsey on the upcoming tour, I'm really looking forward to what Neil will bring to the band dynamic.

What I really love about the Crowded House community is their forward-thinking policy about recording shows. All of them are recorded and most have been made available through the fan club.

Here's one of my favorite songs from Neil.



And this is just a funny video. Neil has a great sense of humor onstage.
