In the midst of their Infinity Sessions, Crowded House shares insights into their dynamic live performances. The soulful connection among band members and the audience enriches each show, especially evident during their Palais performance where songs evolve organically, unveiling new layers and melodies on stage. As their repertoire expands, crafting a set list becomes increasingly challenging, with each night's performance refining their craft.

Amidst their relentless touring schedule, Crowded House encounters a myriad of intriguing guests, from the largest and most unexpected guest lists at Fleetwood Mac's concert to unexpected collaborations like James Blunt approaching Neil Finn for a songwriting collaboration without prior knowledge of each other's work. Even the Beastie Boys make a cameo, imparting acoustic guitar wisdom to Nick during a backstage jam session.

Their journey includes memorable moments like sharing the stage with Peter Gabriel and performing at Coachella 2007, where they found themselves juxtaposed with the intensity of Rage Against the Machine. Throughout their travels, inspiration strikes in unexpected places, fostering a creative environment where even the smallest ideas flourish into musical gems.
