Customer Reviews

The compilation Crowded House fans should own
There are at least 3 editions available of Crowded House's Recurring Dream compilation. One is the standard one with a single CD. Another one released initially (but is no longer widely available) during the same period includes this fantastic live CD. Songs such as There Goes God and Sister Madly showcase their drive that lacked on the studio versions. Mediocre songs from their debut like Love You `til the Day I Die and Hole in the River become fresh, as if they have been released from some kind of bounds. There is humor spread all over the set with the audience participating without ruining the songs. The fun and energy associated with Crowded House shines more on this live CD than any other studio recording of theirs (even including their masterpiece Together Alone) making it worthwhile for many to buy this edition, although it is rather expensive.

Recently another edition emerged with a greatest hits DVD included. The songs are still great but most of the videos have aged rather poorly. An exception is Weather with You (my son's favorite!) which is joyful and fun and Distant Sun, a dreamy video that tastefully complements one of their best songs. My son actually loves most of the songs post Weather with You but he may simply like the overuse of colors (huge Yellow Submarine fan) and simply great songs. Being a big fan myself, this is a must have for me but friends and family mostly laugh when they see most of these videos.

Recurring Dream is thus a great buy for most people. Any fan should add a few extra dollars and purchase this edition including the live set and only the hard core fans should also get the DVD version (that can be actually bought separately).
