Two legends for the price of none!
Just as we were gearing up to leave Adelaide, Mike discovered a pretty compelling reason for us to stay… at least for a few more days. When the Adelaide Festival presents a free concert featuring Neil Finn and Paul Kelly, you can’t refuse. That’s just not something a person can walk away from. Even when a person is only vaguely familiar with the music.* And especially when that same concert a few days prior in Melbourne came with a pretty hefty ticket price.
Our tweets about the show were put up on the big screen!
The park was packed with people enjoying a summer evening outdoors. Everyone was ready to hear some of their favorite songs.
Crowd pleasers included:
Fall At Your Feet – Neil Finn
Better Be Home Soon – Neil Finn
To Her Door – Paul Kelly (Pretty sure this was when everyone got up and started dancing.)
Among many others. I’ve already told you my personal favorite “For the Ages” by Paul Kelly.
The concert was definitely in the Top 10 of my Australian favorites. It was truly a perfect summer evening. Even getting smacked in the face with a lawn chair couldn’t dampen my spirits.** Not only did I get to see two Australian/Kiwi legends, I got to see them playing together. Here’s a highlight reel of the concert someone made if you’re so inclined.
Thanks Adelaide for another great (free) experience.
xo, jill
*Speaking for myself here. Mike is a long time Crowded House fan.
**A super nice lady saw the whole thing and came over to offer me the ice pack from her cooler.
love your braids!
