When Tim and Neil sing together, it is just magic !

I’m a 33 year old from London and I fucking love these guys. Good music is good music. Anywhere and in any time.

Tim and Neil are from a small town called Te Awamutu in New Zealand. Ive been there a few times nice place. Before Split Enz were famous and just touring around NZ they stayed at my uncles house in Waihi when they did a local gig. One of the brothers can't confirmed which one asked my uncle if he wanted an autograph, my uncle said no. Good old New Zealand.

Their bassist laid a lot of great rythyms in quite a few of their songs. Underrated he is

One of THE GREATEST BANDS EVER!!!!!! SO UNDER RATED, FOR SO MUCH TALENT AND GREAT MUSIC!!!

Damn, they're so good live.

Split Enz had energy , melody ,originality and just about everything . Thier songs still sound fresh and full of life and even the ballads are sheer class. I listened to give it a whirl for the first time in ages the other day. You almost felt a wind coming from the speakers. A wall of wonderful sound. I love em.

As an American who discovered the brothers Finn in London 1988 I feel honored and blessed and Neil’s work became the sound track of my life. So bloody underrated in America it makes me ill. The crap that has been shoved in the Rock n Roll HOF and these guys are not it? It’s a fucking CRIME!!! ( and Hunters and Collectors too)

Split Enz are the Beatles of the South Seas.

I demand one last Split Enz HOORAH!

one of the much under rated groups of our times.....and yes my 24 yr old son loves them too.....lol

Folks this is real talent

Really fantastic live version of this song (Poor Boy). Still got the original True Colours vinyl somewhere.

i reckon tim finn is the most perfect brother a younger brother could ever wish for

So brilliant these lads!! Much admiration from here in the California desert! 🍸😁

So fluent, natural and professional. Great performance.

saw these at QEII park chch in 1984...magical times to be growing up round music like this

Wow, they brought back Mal on drums... very nice!

Musical genius Tim with perfect piped brother Neil . Tight & you know it ! Each taking their own journey's there after & should be nobelled musical ambassadors of new Zealand who had to put up with aussie B. sh..eep. only, to over come ! My heart still flutters God bless you all xo It's the way it is ! Thankyou so kindly

Split enz, one of my favourite best group. I like most of thier song especialy 6 months leak the boat.

great growl on that guitar!

Damn I miss being young and listening to this music, :(

Just a great band. Very creative pop that doesn't grow old.

Hadn't realised how big a part of that sound was Eddie Rayner

So far ahead of their time, back in the day. and it appears, they still are.

still got it! my favorite enz song

pure chemistry

New Zealand thanks

I will never ever forget that this song was introduced to me for the first time in Grade 12 in Ottawa. I had just transferred to Colonel By High School near the Ottawa River. I had just worked out after school in the school gym and I proceeded outside to head for the bus stop. "Beep, Beep." A silver BMW pulled up beside me and the driver rolled down the window and offered me a ride. The driver was an acquaintance of mine and as we turned out of the school parking lot to the main road he suddenly "Cranked Up" a song on his ultra high-end powerful car stereo. As it pumped through my whole body I was polarized by the atmosphere of the song and it was this very song titled "One Step Ahead."

History never repeats the best song XTC never wrote.

wonderful song to play for the reunion.

That bass player is amazing never put a foot wrong awesome player

Pure bliss!

Loved seeing them in lower Manhattan at The Ritz and Irving Plaza. They always looked great, all pasty like croupier cadavers. Always a lot of fun. What a great band!

OMG they're still beautiful and I am still clearly crushing on every single one of them.

I absolutely love this song I saw the play Poor Boy in Sydney back in 2009 featuring Matt Newton as an actor.

UNIQUE, BRILLIANT, CAPTIVATING ETC ETC ETC.Finn brothers you are out of this world.

Im 53 For the majority of my life, for the love of sound...this band is always there. This connection between brothers, the rhythm, the beat... Such exuberance , Always relevant 💯💯✅️

The NZ With a Bang farewell concert is still one of my faves..

Excellent live reunion...

The arrangements are awesome would have loved to have been there x

dont give a toss about the Australia NZ B>S thanks NZ for the Fiinn bros without em the world would be a much sadder place

I love their music 🎶 🎤 🎼 just as much as I did back then. In the original the temo change of the druming was a touch of brilliance for me. And I've met the odd lovely alien.😊

Classic 👏👏👏👏😊😊😊😊

We need them now!🎉

A great New Zealand band!!!

Niel rocking that LP is awesome..a Fender head thru a Marshall cab=great tone...love Tim's energy and voice..the band sounded brilliant.

Utterly unique. Then, and now. Truly.

History Never Repeats..they just turn the switch..and ON! Wow great live-wire performance!

Wow Tim you can rock it on

Tim looks as young as his younger brother Neil, minus the grey hair. Well done, Tim!

Really a super band from down under

Love this song ..

These boys had it ALL

Eddie!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SO COOL.

Loved these since the 70s and it never fails 🎸🎸

So ahead of their time

love love love

Just brilliant.... 👌

This group totally reformed my musical tastes as an adult!

Thanks for sharing ....loveLoveLOVE

Split Enz at the very top of their game...The mark of any great band is chemistry, and the chemistry these six players have is beyond unique

Thank you filling in the memories. Great to look back on great music that I had live during the early and mid 80's.

Really Top Shelf....thnx 4 posting!

So great. In my top 5 favs.

Omg!!! How good is this??? 😍

oh my gosh, it is so good!

Having loved NF CH and the FBs for 26 yrs now and having heard several Enz songs live, for some reason i haven't got properly in to their music at large. This video and the Old Grey Whistle Test footage I've just seen have sealed it and I'm now on the hunt. Awesome share thanks!

Brilliant!

Thank you!!:)

BRILLIANT

Went festival hall for Enz With A Bang tour... it was in 84 or later

F'ing brilliant!

They sounded better the next year after being on tour for a few months. Favourite band from my childhood and was chuffed to see them reform. Even for a tour. ❤️

The mixing is all over the place

Great

Love them

...a great band

Ooh ooh....ultra high

So sad Tim can't hit his best high notes anymore. Split Enz have been gorgeous and magical since I was 11. I'm now 55.

awesome band

While I adore Neil's Gold Top L Paul and wish I owned one myself , it swamps everything in the mix , Nigel Griggs original outstanding walking bass lines are what glues this songs ethereal melody and purpose together for me.

Lucky Bastards that got to see this ! .. Back in the day, I watched 300+ Bands a Year, in our Pubs and Clubs, over a period of many Years.. .. And there were TOO MANY great live Oz Rock Bands !.. ( Sorry , I'm claiming the Enz as ours).. But IMO , the Six standouts were... Mi-Sex, Mother Goose, The Angels, Split Enz, AC/DC, and Icehouse (in no particular order).. :)

The announcer is wrong.. I saw Split Enz and Crowded House at Darling Harbour on the night of 31/12/1989.

Cool. They should have lasted longer than they did.

Amble up, mess about, pick up their instruments and go. Flawless immediately.

They sound so great!

Split Enz, fronted by James May

My fevorit Niw Ziland group Splut Inz, with Tum and Nail FUN.

Amazing Kiwi gift, Cheers ✨

i was around them days ..Kiwi rock ..

Better than ever - fucking awesome!

@ Tow Ewing - Tom, you need to buy Space Waltz's only LP - that will confirm how integral Eddie Raynor was to them, the Enz, & every other band he touched. And, damn, it's a bloody great LP, sorely overlooked.

This rendition even better than the LP version on True Colours...

Neil’s guitar is great, here

years after years they sound better and better

❤️

Love this song, the albums version is. Better, but, this as good as it gets live love it

They blew my mind in 1973 or 4, I loved them. Musically sophisticated twisted glam rock.They sound(ed) like Pink Floyd and Sparks and Supertramp. They play American and Japanese and Spanish instruments. They happen to be from NZ - but not a Maori among them afaik. get over it.
