It's beautiful and it's gold. A treasure of personal concerts!

So awesome! I randomly stumbled on Episode 58 and was blown away. It was just Neil singing a special personal concert to me. I couldn't stop! So I'm going to start at Episode 1 and listen to them all! Split Enz, Crowded House, and his kids and grandkids even? Singing for me!

Soooooooo generous! Thank you Neil!

This is Podcast Gold!!

Thank you to Neil, his family and friends for this wonderful podcast of beautiful music and memories! I am enjoying all the remakes of my favorite songs! I just heard Neils grandson calling for him in the background which was priceless!

Thank you and please “Don’t Stop Now”!

Ok

I'm a longtime fan of NF and all his projects, so this was obviously interesting to me. However in practice it's kind of a mixed bag. There's a lot of looseness like widely varying audio quality, Neil having to stop and futz with equipment, random interruptions etc. It feels more like a reality show sometimes, where you're just observing the Finn family and Neil might play some songs. The quality of performances varies widely too, sometimes his voice is not sounding good and he forgets half the lyrics and just doesn't seem that interested in making it good. Other times it's really good. And getting to hear some rare demos is always a treat. I don't listen frequently, I just catch highlights, especially if there's a new album coming. Nice for fans but I wish it was more consistently well-produced.
