An old documentary about the first 10 years of Split Enz - its a bit strange, but so were Split Enz back then. Thanks to Mike and Tash for getting this for me
I believe they *did* briefly advertise for new members, but this was during the difficult period around 76/77 following not only Phil Judd's departure but also the rhythm section
I love Split Enz, i used to be in their fan club and they sent me updates thru the mail....i really appreciated it at that time..:D youtube is awsome for capturing these moments too..... love it!
I remember as a kid in year 6 in the 80s I asked my friend at school if he liked girls....he stared at me silently and suddenly replied, no!...I like Split Enz. :) that was 32 years ago I first heard of them. Awesome band.
@Coldacre This footage is from the January 1983 "Enz of an Era" concert the group perfomed in His Majesty's Theatre (NZ). I know this thanks to having read Mike Chunn's book "Stranger Than Fiction" (MUST read for all Enz fans).
d'ya see manzanera yuking it up during rehearsals? chunn was more a leader than others. very much 2 split enz until finns and rayner took over for good. charming visual band. truly missed by me.
OMG! I so WANT this documentary! What is the name of it and is it available for sale on dvd? Btw, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for posting this vid!
split enz have been apart of my life since i was old enough to hear music i remember in the 70s i used to think they looked frighting noel scared me to bits how he rocked back and forth with his shaved sides and pointy hair kinda reminded me of people you would see working in a funeral home glad to say i still get that freaky feeling watching there videos of the early days im 43 now and i got to see them live in 1993 love ya fellas thanks for the music and the scares. troy from gisborne.
