Seeing Crowded House again last night reminded me why I keep going back for more. They are simply fantastic live. In fact even better than on record (you remember those black round things?). They were on for about two hours and covered plenty of material old and new. The longer the concert went on the more that they got into their stride and the better it was. This was the first time I had taken my younger son to a concert and it was such a good introduction for him.

These days I don’t normally bother with the support act as they can be a bit lame but wanting to give the boys the full concert experience we went in and saw Duke Special. I was pleasantly surprised. Similar to Divine Comedy with the use of humour in the lyrics – very quirky. Anyway, those of you that follow my Last.FM stats (Dirk…) will notice Duke Special rising up the list over the next few days as I repeatedly play their tracks over and over and in particular the sublime No Cover Up and Freewheel.
