Crowded House Tickets

I was a huge Crowded House fan since I was 12. I remember asking for Temple of Low Men for Christmas, on cassette, in '88. I was coincidentally on holiday in New Zealand when I realized they were coming to my home town of Edmonton. How excited was I?! Weird that I booked tickets to see them back home while in their home country! When they came on to stage, I was overwhelmed and super excited. A band I loved for so many years were just a few rows in front of me. They had fantastic banter with the audience and the songs were great. My only disappointment, was I waited for the whole show to hear Better Be Home Soon... and they never did it.

I missed CH last time there were in Calgary so I made an extra effort to get tickets this time. Third row !! There were amazing. Crystal clear and funny as ever. Their music is timeless and sparked deep memories in us all. The setup was simple and effective. Just 5 guys and a few lit ornaments around the stage. There made everyone feel right at home. Especially with jokes about an imaginary friend named Steve Dudas ( a reocurring theme). I've been a fan for a long time and have seen hundreds of concerts. I consider this one a real favorite and a treat for the senses. SAIT was CROWDED that night and everyone went back to their HOUSES happy !!

Such an amazing concert, the boys were in top form indeed! With such a massive library of hits to draw from it would be impossible to play everyone's favorites, however the fact that the Split Enz classic "I Got You" made the set list got me on my feet! I last saw this band in the 1980's when they came to town and I loved it now as much (if not more) than I did then. Thank you for such a great show and please come back soon!

Best they have ever been. Awesome show. Loved that they played Split Enz songs.

What a fantastic show! I've been a fan for over 20 years and never seen them live but always wanted to. I was blown away by the talent displayed by all four musicians but truly Neil Finn is a master. I would put him up there with Paul McCartney, Sting and the best of the best singer/songwriters. What a thrill to hear their new songs as well as their deep catalogue of hits and when they played Split Endz - "I got you" - wow! I never thought I would ever hear that live and they delivered thoroughly on that one as well. My husband loved their witty banter and the overall vibe of the show (lights, sound, intimate venue). I would highly recommend this show and will never forget it!

The concert was very enjoyable. Crowded House are clearly seasoned performers who know not only how to deliver a great performance, but how to relate to their audience. They welcomed audience commentary, and actually responded to it with clever, clean, ad lib remarks - very refreshing! They welcomed audience sing-along too, and I must say this audience did a very creditable job in response! Of course, it doesn't hurt to have brilliant and memorable material to work with. Too bad it wasn't sold out - Crowded House are not as well known in Edmonton, as they should be. My only gripe was that it was a little louder than it needed to be, for this space and this audience (the quieter songs were a relief). Lawrence Arabia were a pleasant surprise - I hadn't heard of them before. Very competent, entertaining and appropriately humble.

WOW - Mr Finn and Company were at their best on Thursday ! From start to finish .. and they played for just on two hours. I had bought their new CD about six weeks ago and was well 'versed' as to what would be played and as an added bonus some oldies just to keep the vocal cords up to speed. Some of the oldies I had forgotten but remembered quckly .... truly a great concert - thanks Crowded House - will definately go and see them again if/when they come back to Calgary. Lawrence and his Prime Ministers were a great warm up too ... felt sorry for them having to then go and a 26 hour drive !

the music and performance were very good. Like their energy and style.

Crowded House is a band I had heard of before, and know a few songs of theirs but I went with a huge fan of theirs. However when I went I not only found their music smooth and tasteful, but I also found their banter between songs and their playfulness on stage really added to their charm! Overall I wouldn't say they are a must see, but for the price of $50, it was totally worth it and I would definitely see them again!

Couldnt have asked for a better concert the band the stage and lighting.

Crowded House was brilliant for half their show, the other half entirely forgettable. Lawrence Arabia seemed like a parody of themselves, I couldn't believe how lame they were.

The whole show was just amazing. I liked how they mixed up their old stuff with the new stuff. They had great energy and it showed in the Crowd. Not only are they amazing musicians they know how to interact with their audience. Learned a new buzz word "Dudis" - ya had to be their to get it. Cheers - can't wait to see them again!

The handful of Edmontonians that were there were treated to a great stage show. The rest of Edmonton really missed out. These guys are right in their prime. Loved every minute.

Fantastic, worth every penny. disappointed the crowd was so small they deserved better. 1 star for edmonton!

I loved this concert. What a great night! I cant wait for Crowded House to come back again.

I was going to the concert expecting a best of type deal. Was far from it to be honest. I mean they were fan friendly and all that but for a group that wasn't in Edmonton until the 80's one would think there were alot of hits to cover. I thought of 5-6 hits that I went there for and one off the Split Enz era. "I got you" was one I was actually looking forward to hearing never got played. As well as "Something So Strong" and "World were you live" both of which never got played. I checked out the setlist prior to going to the concert and requested that all three of the songs listed prior be played. Needless to say they weren't. I don't know what to say but it wasn't what I expected.

great show!!!!! really happy we went, although there wasn' the red tree t shirts in xl for ladies appearently fed -x didnt get them there on time and there is nothing available on line, boooo hooooo.

Loved that they played alot of the old songs from the 80's & early 90's. The new stuff was good. Loved the interaction with the crowd.

This was my first time seeing them live and I loved every minute of the concert. The only way it could have been perfect was if people could stand and display their enjoyment of the show without blocking the people seated behind. It wasn't until the encore that we were allowed to go up to the stage and appreciate them like they deserved to be. I would love to see them in concert again!

I've seen this band almost every time they've come to town. From the '80s (when they were Split Enz) through the '90s when they were big -- and now that they're all grown up. It is rare that a band is able to sonically surpass their albums -- but they do it every time. The guitars are better, the vocals are better, the arrangements are better and you get an entertaining show delivered by incredibly seasoned professionals who never shy away from an opportunity to interact with the audience. Don't miss them next time they come to town.
