Noel's KILLING IT!!!!! He's outstanding just standing!!!!

Phil Judd just looks so handsome here !

Mike Chunn's smile, the way he and Wally horse around and pretend to sing in the background, Noel dancing... my favourite incarnation of the band.

Split Enz transcends any specific genre. they are in a class of their own!!!

I love Noel just standing there in the background

Phil is a genius. I’m so very thankful I found the work of this great man - his art so concisely speaks of and to the depth and breadth of our human condition. The child people, the people of power and awards, will never know.

I'm just a country boy cant you see I'm still green.. I still think is one of your greatest lines

I still love the ENZ, never get boring, there is and never will be anything like them! UNIQUE!

Cardiacs do a pretty good job of being like them. Also very unique, unheard of, and never gets boring... kzread.info/dash/bejne/mYKY0LGNpqrIerQ.html

Noel always has me in stitches. He's like someone who hasn't been invited to a fancy-dress party but he's going to gatecrash it anyway. But when he gets there he's not quite sure how to blend in.

I really love their early music and look .so original

Noel Crombie's value to the group at this early stage was in designing the costumes and sets. He didn't have much to do on stage until later when he took over drums for a while after Mal Green's departure. Split Enz would not have had half their quirkiness without Noel's input.

Noel also played the spoons and darn well I might add.I witnessed this in their very early days backing up Frank Zappa & the Mothers here in Perth.I think around 76' or 77'.What a show they were both magnificent !

Luv this band! Brings back memories of when l first saw them as support for Leo Sayer 1974 Melbournes Festival Hall. Also remember them playing spoons.

great band....absolutely incredible....love their music....originality .....if the world was really talent based....Split Enz would be one of the top 5 bands on planet earth......God Bless Split Enz....amazing ....brilliant...etc etc...I have to say more....as a 14 year old boy...I went to both concerts in 1982 at Dunedin town hall....they were mind blowing ....brain explodingly...too good to compare....I have seen all the best groups and artist since then all over the world...Split Enz are as great as the Beatles in my opinion....thank you for being on planet earth and making my life better....you are my favourite band...CH are crap in comparison....CH know it....

My face band back in mid 70's Melbourne BRILLIANT..!!!!

God bless you Phil

Phil Judd is a fucking genius. he’s the secret weapon in the band. not interested in the spotlight, but the heartbeat. just look at the guitar lines played in the first 30 seconds. the perfect foil for the silliness of Crombie & Finn.

So freakin' brilliant, beyond words brilliant! MORE!!

One word to describe early Enz music "Frantic"

Even for the 70s, the Enz were a strange lot. Of course they did well in San Francisco. I like how Noel has absolutely nothing to do in this video. And he makes no effort to disguise this at all. I like this song.

I'm not joking . . . If these guys were still strutting this stuff I'd get a ticket as soon as they were available. I have a pretty good ear for class original music, and these guys were that. Classy, original and so professional. The outfits and makeup were just the icing on the cake. Really miss these guys.

Just brilliant!

I used to love this played it to death amazing musos the Enz

i love how he starts his dance at about 0:48.

Only Noel Crombie could make standing around and not doing a lot look so cool!

Fave Split Enz song makes me smile every time I see this video thanks

Gotta love mr Judd

These guys are nuts. I love it!!

wow ty so much for this have never seen it before.There are so few enz videos with Phil in them this really was a rare treat.

Brilliant!

Pure theatre. I Love all those guys. But Eddie always gave them (the music and the song structures) their "colour"!

Ahh Split enz before Neil Finn hijacked the party blissful

I know! They're our kind of nuts too. If you look at where they started and where they ended up it's almost like one day there was critical mass that suddenly "got it". All these years later we still "get it".

you're right. it may have been a telethon. : )

Sounds a lot like Family. I wouldn't be surprised if Finn and Judd are fans.

Nz didn't have colour TV in 75?

Did NZ have a program similar to countdown?

Look, I'm a Frenz of the Enz to a point, but the clown makeup and quirky facial expressions went a bit too far to the point of desperation. Like some under-appreciated school kid jumping around screaming "look at me!". But perhaps when you come from a relatively obscure island nation at the bottom of the world you do whatever it takes to get noticed. Aussie rock did that a bit as well in the 80s, but really it should come down to raw talent which is ultimately wishful thinking. At least it's way better than all the phoney baloney crap churned out now with autotune and fabricated no-talent airbrushed silliness. At least The Enz shoved forward with blind ambition and do-or-die conviction. Still love that!
