Re: Kiwi Classic no. 5

That has to be one of the most touching perfromances I've watched on YouTube. I must say brilliant performances by both and sadness at watching those ANZACS sailing away many never to return. The love and hope in the faces of the women and children on the Quay side is heart breaking. Thanks for posting this Brian. I hope lots of people will watch it and feel the sadness I do for those souls wasted in a needless war.

That was very awesome Brian ! 
So cool they got together.   
I agree with Phill - that was exactly what I was thinking.... I will add that the sense of Pride was in there faces ( although it was so naive as all young soldiers seem to be) that they were going to go to war and then come back.  It didn't work that way for millions of young men across the years of conflict.

Great song !

Thanks for sharing

Oh wow, that was amazing and what an honor for Neil Finn to have meet and played with not only a talented musician but hero.  Thanks for sharing, Brian, it was very touching to watch.
