Speaking to the crowd (July 12) at the first of four shows the Finn Brothers are due to perform at the Sydney Opera House over the next week, frontman Neil Finn became emotional as the band returned for the first of two encores, saying; "I've been thinking about Paul Hester all night� I really miss him," before asking the crowd to join in on a semi-acoustic rendition of Crowded House hit �Four Seasons In One Day' and saying "I thought you might want to sing a song with me for him."
