Live Review: Neil Finn & Paul Kelly, Lisa Mitchell

You could spend this whole review just cursorily covering the participants' pop histories. You could use up a few words telling how Lisa Mitchell's sweet shyness can go beyond that laundry song's pleasant novelty, to Land Beyond The Front Door's feeling, “We can still go dancing/Near where the bike leans”.

Or that from the moment Paul Kelly & Neil Finn stroll on, and open with the cautionary waltz of the former's Don't Stand So Close To The Window, everything just fell into place.

Which leads to hereditary talent: the backing band consisting of nephew Dan Kelly, and Neil's younger son Elroy “on drums – and stuff”. Add “long lost cousin” Zoe Hauptmann's bass, and they went from the gentle chiding Not The Girl You Think You Are to that bracing morning walk '…over the hill to the MCG'.

They didn't always go for the obvious: The Finn Brothers' Only Talking Sense, and selections from Kelly's Spring And Fall of last year both offered. Then there's their confidence in inhabiting one of each other's songs. Into Temptation is ideal PK fodder – a story, observed details, some Catholic guilt. The swap gives Neil Shoes Under My Bed, which he makes a longing piano ballad. They banter, joke. Their only disagreement: the phone number for Silver Top Taxis – those cabs that go To Her Door.

There'd also be more words than the review itself in the hits displayed: the always aching Fall At Your Feet, the sprinkling Careless, a sharp verse-trading Deeper Water, Don't Dream It's Over as community singalong. And there are few more perfect pop songs than Message To My Girl. But with what do these two finish a tour through their respective catalogues? Buddy Holly's Words Of Love. Just right, like everything else.
