Crowded House - 1991-10-28 - Winterhtur, Switzerland (SBD)

SWITZERLAND - Here's our 3rd debut post at So Many Roads this month, this one from Crowded House. I was listening to WFUV-FM the other day, when they played the tune Weather With You, which I've always liked but never realized was by Crowded House,  Well, that led me to doing some research, finding a bunch of shows on line, and deciding to add them to the always growing list of bands here at So Many Roads,  This soundboard recording captures Crowded House in Switzerland on October 28, 1991, 28 years ago today.  The band was on tour in support of the album Woodface, which include he aforementioned Wealther With You among its tracks.  Woodface also featured a reunion between Neil Finn and his brother Tim, who had played together in Splitz Enz, through Tim left the band soon after this concert!
