@@floydndaisy you have no idea! Firstly the song embodies the Kiwi attitude. (And I'm a naturalized Kiwi.) Then I learned that Tim wrote it about his 6 months coping with a nervous breakdown. Absolutely an emotional roller coaster of tragedy, sorrow and hope.
@@jorjinawright2141 I really enjoy their music, however I am a bigger fan of Neil’s solo work and work with Crowded House. Not so sure about the Fleetwood Mac thing.
I come to This Song Often, A Sailor, I've Sailed Around The World 3 Times, Seen Most Of it... I find Solace in the Memories Of Being At Sea, with the Vaulted Dome Of Stars on A moonless Sea, or in the Swirling Fairy Glow in the Eddy Currents From the Propellers Endlessly Driven By Two Reactors... Yep Sanctuary. Cheers
Split Enz were part of me growing up in liverpool seen these lads in 70s , then crowded house great times ,they were brilliant at Glastonbury 2022 music keeps you going 🎙
I was at this concert at rod Laver arena, up in the nosebleeds on the left of stage. This and Message to my girl were magical that night. I remember as Eddie Rayner played the keyboard solo at the start the backlighting actually projected his shadows over the crowd at the back of the stadium... such amazingly gifted musicians and songwriters. A magical concert that I was privileged to be able to see. Great memories
As much as I love Crowded House, Neil Finn's solo stuff and his songwriting, there's something more compelling and special about Eddie Rayner's creative instincts and keyboard wizardry, along with Tim in his comfort zone. Spectacular.
I saw Tim a few times in the 90s and every time his voice sounded thrashed; a shadow of its 80s glory. Sounds like, by the time of this concert, he'd really worked hard and got it back in soaring form!
One of my favourite Enz tunes. So much to appreciate in this song. Tim's vocals. Neil's harmonies. I just love Eddie's intro into this song. Kudos to the sound mix. It was amazing to be able to hear Neil's guitar work.
Didnt know they had re-formed back then .This has to be one of my all time favourite songs . The Finns are masterful composers and possibly NZs best export
Should be the New Zealand National Anthem. Classic song. If i was ever going to learn the piano this is one of the first things id want to learn, the intro called Pioneer. Just to add that i made a split enz slideshow to one of their songs. To see it simply just type in search bar the following title.......Split Enz Giant Heartbeat Slideshow
Thisis atest .......no need to be so condescending. I grew up with the ‘60’s and ‘70’s “gold” but love a ton of varied music and to this day, I’m discovering artists/bands I missed first time around.
@@gxd4b1 Are you not from New Zealand? I grew up in New Zealand in the 70s and 80s. I remember my dad saying what a bunch of nutters Split Enz were with their crazy costumes. He knew nothing about music and didn’t realise just how talented they were.
You cannot listen to "Six Months In A Leaky Boat" without "Pioneer" preceding it. It is like "We Are The Champions" without "We Will Rock You". You just can't listen to one without the other.
I love when Tim and Neil perform together. Their harmonies are the best.
Very nice intro and good harmonies, great tune
Tragedy, sorrow and hope, an emotional roller coaster in 7 minutes. For me this song goes so deep into my soul I can't find the words.
Me, too. I come back to it more than most other songs from that time.
What’s the big deal. They are floating around in a boat with a hole in it.

What a highly underrated band. Been re-listening to a lot of their stuff, and the musicianship is incredible.
Freakin’ Eddie Rayner. Number One Rock/pop pianist.
The finest musicians New Zealand has ever produced & ever will. So lucky to have had these guys.
You can safely say the southern hemisphere, aliens visited these super talented muso's and writers!
of all time
Th' Dudes have their place
@@MikeDiCiero Not in the same class as Split Enz.
Damn right.
Tim’s voice is forever magic.
Love Ed
One of the finest musicians to come out of New Zealand
Brilliant keyboardist, the best

That is special.
The best version of this incredibly beautiful song I have ever heard .. and Tim's voice .. just delicious ... I am a happy man.
Beautiful beginning.
Eddie Rayner. What a remarkable player. The Yamaha Motif shining too.
Much better than i realized!
A veritable human appregiator, amazing!

He's been a favorite of mine for YEARS. His playing has so much whimsy and technical brilliance, too. Love him!
I listened to their albums when I was a young un’ but now to see these performances on stage is fantastic 😎 thanks Enz for being part of my life .
Mine too
Eddie Rayner's smile is just absolutely contagious. Great rendition of a top pop rock song ever written.
Beautiful men...none of their songs have the macho swagger...just lovely, evolved men. The best.
I HAVE JUST DISCOVERED THIS BAND, OH, WHAT A PLEASURE TO LISTEN TO!
I got to see them in concert in Sydney 2006 - they were unbelievable. One of the best concerts I ever experienced.
what a song and what a performance of it... amazing.. love the ENZ.
Tim's voice!

Brilliant! absolutely a brilliant composition
I watch this at least once a day, just to see the smiles on their faces...especially Eddie.
Epic concert! I wish I could have been there, for this once in a lifetime event.
masterful Rayner...intro and rolling arpeggios...flawless
world class act without a doubt Split Enz one of the best things to come out of NZ. Tim Finn is masterfull.
And yet Australia tries to claim them, lol! Then again most of them moved over there... :'(
Thse SE classics are like the finest wines. They get better with age. Brilliant.
This melody is amazing!!!! How have I never heard this before!!! Soo Goood!
Six Months and Down Under two of the greatest songs to some out of New Zealand and Australia!!
God how I love all these guys & the best music ever made in my book!! I could listen to Eddie Raynor all day!!
Some of the first music I purchased as a kid. I sang every word of it over and over..
One of my favourite songs... I have a special relationship with the sea as my aunt worked in a fish and chip shop.
Ahhhhh.... This brings me back to my youthful 20s! At 65, still makes me so very happy!!! Love all things Finn. Thank you, Peter and Mark.
One of the greatest bands ever . Magical songs
I’m in my mid 30’s in 2022 and wow the pianist work blows me away along with the rest of the band beautiful!!!!
This Band was one of the best to ever play on this planet.
Amazing. World class in every way. So good!
Love this Split Enz classic. Great music talent. 👌

One word.GREAT
Discovered split enz. In my 68 yr what have I been missing Great
Geez Chris .. where have you been for 68 years? They have some really great songs.

My favourite Sea Shanty EVER!
Phenomenal, moving, vast. Like taking to the oceans.
Rare depth of emotion

Superb !! Hugs from Belgium 🙏
1000K!!!!
Great song. Great performance!
and the band wow been watching them since 1976
Phenomenal, moving, vast. Like taking to the oceans.
So good! Thank you so much for posting, Peter!
Eddie is my idol... I wish I had lessons from him 🤩
In the 1980's this is the song that always woke us up on the last morning of a Cruise when I was in the Navy!!!
Love this so much, whistling, awesome keyboard, magical harmonies! What's not to like?!
Holy Cannoli! I forget how great these guys are!
One word. Brilliant.
Excellent!
Back when you can call music entertainment.
Tim's voice!
You cannot listen to "Six Months In A Leaky Boat" without "Pioneer" preceding it. It is like "We Are The Champions" without "We Will Rock You". You just can't listen to one without the other.
What a great band.
Epic! The best song from my youth. Haunting like no other
Fecking naughty, mate. This gives me the piss shivers. So good to see that Split Enz can pack 'em in.
I had forgotten how good this song is. Apparently it was banned in the UK during the Falklands war.
What a band! Love them!
My obsess song, and maybe favourite version 🤗💝
Such a lovely song. :)
The Finn boys at their very best.
CIRCUMNAVIGATES THE GLOBE...
HYPERSONIC
WOW! Sheer Brilliance Eddie.
Magnificent!
still watching in 2022!
Magic fingers...magical song
Wow. Incredible. How I wish I could watch this whole concert in person. Magic.
Great All Round Performance! 🎶♥
Brilliant!!!
This sounds great
Superb. What a song. Cheers for the upload.
Got me through the the 80s!
How did I miss this? Oh so good.
Got some of their albums which I bought late 70s onwards but my biggest regret not seeing them live 😢😢
Rare depth of emotion
They need to get back together and tour again
Like six months in a leaky tour.
I miss this kind of great music. We used to hear it on the radio all the time. What happened???
in a word...rap....
Nice soundboard recording! Epic performance.
