I'm 50 years old and INXS is one of my favorite bands from my adolescence. Michael was charismatic, magnetic and a great showman. This concert is one of the best in Wembley history. It is very sad to remember that 6 years later he would die...

[@LawrenceAkers]

Same. I'm 51 and INXS were the first band I became obsessed with and the first concert I ever saw when I was 13 years old. They were definitely very special live.

72 here & remember driving the PCH down to Santa Cruz & listening to this music. Michael was beautiful!

[@davidedemurodominijanni9889]

Same. I embarrassed my brother at that time because someone from our neighbourhood once told him heard me singing aloud with all my lungs from a wide open window, in our apartment on the 5th floor, the entire concert from the VHS I bought when the Live album came out. The volume was boosted to the very max and I believe the building was vibrating because of it. It's been electric and electrifying. It was a Sunday morning, when I lived a few months alone. That video has become my life soundtrack back then, watched a zillion times. it was impossible for me to not look at Michael Hutchence like an inspirational guy, besides I looked a lot like him back then, with my hair actually twice his length, and that look in the cover was so iconic and so similar to my own style _{fit pants, untucked fantasy shirt and my long hair to frame the whole thing}_ I felt like he could be me and I could be him right there and people would have seen no difference. I guess I was kinda crazy back then but I do not regret any of that for a moment, ever! Best time of my life, only my very first Live concert I attended a few years later, in a real stadium, for the Black Sabbath Reunion concert at the Gods Of Metal 1998 with Pantera right before Ozzy who literally "baptised" me with a bucket full of water {I was lucky enough to be in the very middle of the forefront down below the stage thanks to my friend who came with me there. If you find the YT video you can see when it happened!}_ could match that absolute joy in music. it's been once in a lifetime and it's been as precious afc! Thanks for reacting to both songs... "What You Need" was what I really needed!

[@trexpixx4590]

🤣There are brothers in the band! The brothers are Tim on guitar with the white tee, Andrew on keyboard, and Jon the drummer. The other three are the other "brothers" and they were all teens when formed. They could not tour until Jon finished school. Micheal was about 17 and Tim was the oldest at 21 when they started, so they basically grew up together. My favorite band of all time and every song stands alone. This is the genre they developed, no one else has been able to duplicate their sound.

[@Tully_23_32]

We Aussie's were so spoilt when it came to our music industry especially in the late 70's, all thru the 80's & in the early 90's. Our own Aussie genre of music was/is "Pub Rock" & to make it in Australia as a band u had to go thru the brutal & harsh Aussie pub scene, playing in pubs all across the country & if the bands could win over the suburban & bush blue-collar Aussie's then a record deal would be signed & sealed. Yes ACCA DACCA & INXS were our main exports overseas & yes both bands went thru the pub scene but we had a lot more bands that were just as brilliant but just couldn't crack the US market for a few reasons. They didn't understand our genre, they wanted our bands to become more Americanised & lose their Aussie identity & even wanted a few lead singers to change their singing accent from Aussie to American. ACCA DACCA changed enough to crack the US but not turning their backs on us Aussie's. INXS didn't change much at all becoming famous via the UK to the US, so they didn't need to change their identity. It's bands like Cold Chisel, Icehouse, Hunters & Collectors, Aussie Crawl to name a few that refused to change who they were for the US market & with that the world missed out & us Aussie's were so spoilt for choice

My wife and I saw INXS in a hundred year old ornate theater at the begining of their KICK tour. Five rows back with fifteen hundred in attendance. In no time they were playing in front of a hundred thousand people in stadiums. I've seen just about every big rock act in my seventy years. INXS was the finest executing musical ensemble I've seen. Michael Huchence was absolutely magical and second to no one as a frontman. Great band, great loss. So so lucky to have seen and heard them.

[@utha2665]

When you said the drummer and guitarists look like brothers, you were spot on. There are three brothers keyboardist Andrew Farriss, the drummer Jon Farriss and guitarist Tim Farriss. The band was originally called The Farriss Brothers in 1977 and they changed their name in 1979 to INXS which was inspired by English band XTC and the Australian Jam Company IXL. They were all the original band members up until Michaels death in 1997. I didn't realise Michael Hutchence was 37 when he died, I always thought he was a member of the unfortunate 27 club. An amazing band, I still remember a lot of their early work quite fondly.

[@sumonjamal1653]

INXS broke big from Australia in the 80's... Their lead singer Michael Hutchence was the star of INXS; he had the voice, charisma and songwriting talent that made him a superstar in the 80's and 90's. INXS also had a sax player that made them unique as a pop band... the rest were - Garry Gary Beers (bass)... and brothers Tim Farriss (lead guitar), Andrew Farriss (keyboards) and Jon Farriss (drums) This concert captured INXS at the height of stardom touring on their 7th album 'X' in 1990. Unfortunately, the alternative 90's trends somewhat marginalized INXS' appeal but they carried on releasing albums & touring... Their last album w/ Michael Hutchence was 'Elegantly wasted' in 1997... and the singer was hoping to release a solo album afterwards. Despite his stardom, Michael Hutchence ended up in a scandalous relationship w/ the wife of British icon Bob Geldof (who organized the Live Aid '85 charity concert) which resulted in a bitter divorce and custody battle, while Hutchence and girlfriend Paula Yates welcomed a daughter together... In late 1997, he was hoping to spend the Christmas holidays w/ Yates and his daughter when he was informed that Yates court case was delayed and they could not leave for the holidays... Hutchence apparently made frantic calls to remedy the situation to no avail... The next day, he was found dead from suicide. Paula Yates died a few years later; Yates' ex-husband Bob Geldof raised their daughter Tiger Lily. INXS tried to carry on w/ new singers, but it was impossible to replace a singer of Michael Hutchence's star and caliber. They disbanded in 2012.

[@jenniferfoster1692]

It can't be understated how popular INXS was globally. They were really one of only a few of the biggest bands in the world in the late 80s and into the 90s, period. They'd been together for years in Australia and had success, but they hit huge, huge in '87 w/their album KICK. It had so many huge hit singles, one after the other, their videos were on MTV 24/7, they were just omnipresent. So yes, this is how popular they were, to have Wembley rocking like this. The lead singer, Micheal Hutchence, died in '97, very, very sad loss. People like Bono from U2, who was a close friend, wrote a couple songs about/for him, they performed w/Queen & Bon Jovi (I'm saying those examples to show you how big they were, lol) at various live shows...they were IT. The entire concert is fire and the 2 you picked are great, thanks!

[@Nick-ju7ld]

This concert DVD is one of the best ever. INXS at their peak, in Wembley Stadium, in front of 72,000 fans, which at the time was a big deal for a band from Australia to sell out a Wembley show in London, England. The whole show is a must watch if you like what you saw here

My very first rock concert was INXS. I loved their song "Listen Like Thieves" because it was a radio hit but then my friend turned me on to one of their older songs "Don't Change" then invited me to go with him to the concert when they came to town. I think they played the entire Kick album but the final encore was "Don't Change." They were such a great band.

[@CateB66]

You’re not far off with your initial perception. From their debut self titled album INXS back in 1980, specifically the song Just Keep Walking very much had a punk ‘esque’ characteristic to it. From there, they just kept reinventing themselves to the stellar band they were renowned for. Had the privilege of seeing them live 8 times, which sadly should have been so many more. They were a true force within the Australian/worldwide music industry

[@_Dei_]

INXS, at this concert in 1991, this was the final peak of 80's music. Nirvana and grunge soon took over from here, but nothing can steal away this fantastic concert from a fantastic band. The only song I'd add is Suicide Blonde. I've never seen 74 thousand people all bounce up and down in time like I saw to this song at Wembley...

They were an extraordinary band and Michael Hutchence was an extraordinary front man. He also dated the innocent pop Queen back in the 80s Kylie Minogue for 3 years. Kylie is now one of the biggest superstars on the planet. She did a tribute to him singing, I Need You Tonight on one of her tours I think it was 2015 . This is a mashup of the video he did for the song and Kylie’s covering it in concert. It’s pretty spectacular. Trivia he wrote the song Suicide Blonde for Kylie.

You need to go out and buy an INXS greatest hits CD because this is one of the best bands ever. The amount of music that was popular and on the radio back in their day is tremendous. Michael Hutchence was infectious with his energy and his beautiful face and his energy. When he died, the rest of the band members had a show on TV looking for a singer to replace Michael, of course this was years after he passed. The show was called Rockstar INXS and you can actually see it on KZbin

1980, Sydney and I'm 19. I go with a girl I'm really keen on to Chequers. The band playing is INXS. There's about 200 punters. I've seen their name on band posters around town and like you I assume they're punkish, but I haven't heard their music. We are down the front and they start their set. Immediately I am just drawn in and transfixed to the frontman. He is magnetic. The music not really my taste but it doesn't matter. This guy just oozes charisma, energy and style and the band is tight. I walk out of there knowing I have seen something special... A couple of weeks later they release the single 'Just Keep Walking' and that's it- I'm hooked!

Drummer (Jon Farriss), keyboard player (Andrew Farriss) and guitar player (wearing Jesus Jones T-shirt - Tim Farriss) are brothers. Michael is lead singer, Kurt is sax and guitar and Garry is bass. Andrew & Michael were at school together, Jon & Garry also at school and same with Tim & Kurt. Their closeness and bond is obvious as they played so tight as a band. Losing Michael that way devasted them so much. Had the privilege of seeing them live in the same tour & year but in Rotterdam and they were fantastic. Michael as a front man was massively underrated.

I saw them once at a 2000 capacity venue earlier in their career. Michael can command an audience of any size. Glad you noticed the distinctive sound…they worked hard to find a sound they could call their own and they stuck with it until the end

You're almost correct, the drummer John, keyboards Andrew and guitar Tim are brothers! All high school friends that went onto conquer the world. Aussie bands that cut their teeth (fans will get the reference) in the local pubs all over Australia! This iconic performance is just amazing. They jam ao well and the vocals of Michael live is just phenomenal. They always sound better live!

The Farris brothers.

Sold out stadium of 78,000! I love ❤️ the Wembley show, they were an incredibly talented band and Micheal Hutchison was a killer frontman, charismatic and phenomenal voice! RIP Micheal! Thank you for reaching to INXS! More from that show to reach to my friend!🤟

[@jenlea9095]

They were always best live, so miss Michael and the boys together - the 80s best

[@CoastPropertyBuyers]

They were at the peak of their powers here, selling out several Wembley Stadium shows just how massive they were! I saw them live in Adelaide approx 3 yrs prior to this and they were EPIC!

That singer was so impossibly cool, handsome, best hair ever hah. And of course that soulful voice. What a band.

[@TheMorningtrain]

It’s hard to believe there are people in the world who haven’t heard the music of inxs …. Imagine that? And then discovering them and having a whole new world of music and performances open up? Wow! My faveINXS song is don’t change. But I love so many of their songs, Worth listening to that one micheal did with Max Q

[@mgreen1206]

Hi from Australia 🙃 INXS are phenomenal band and Michael was a huge talent..I think you have reacted to Jimmy barnes from the band cold chisel..INXS and jimmy barnes do a great duet called goodtimes (you can see Michael is in awe of Jimmys vocal ability) ❤

[@kennethdodemaide8678]

Greatest rock band of their time. Unfortunately, Michael Hutchence, lead singer, died very young. One of Australia's greatest groups.

[@johnnyamaro6643]

Rockin in paradise. Thank you M. H.

[@anitagoodwin4785]

Suicide blond live was the best song from this concert imo.❤

[@rogerreed905]

[@jennybutler9643]

My very first concert was INXS in Brisbane Australia in 1986. I was just 16. Had a huge crush on Michael.

[@retrosilk]

Just adored INXS and the great Michael Hutchence, saw them live once in Australia and was one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen 🤩🎼✌️

[@Whatiwantedwastaken]

A brilliant example of Aussie rock, from a country with a population less than some cities we punch above our weight. Loved the call and return with the audience, very Freddy Mercury 🙂

[@cliffordlowerre1381]

Great reaction to a great band. Welcome to INXS! Lots to look forward to. As you can see, Michael Hutchence was one of Rocks best front men. Huge crowd, with everybody moving and grooving. Great live band! RIP MR. HUTCHENCE!

[@sk_abstract_art]

How do people not know who INXS is? wow.

[@Bluejay103]

I went to college in America in the 80’s and the college station DJ played one of their songs and introduced them as the “Inks”. As an Aussie I had to call and correct them!! IN EXCESS!! Was a proud Aussie moment hearing them in the States

[@JeromeMalbrunot]

INXS was fantastic

[@Ciclopea2]

One of the bands that got me into rock music as a kid in the 80's, loved them ever since, and then when i was 17 and thought i would enjoy new music from them for years to come Michael left this world so suddenly. I remember watching a reality TV show to find his replacement, and for awhile they did find someone, but Michael was the soul of INXS.

[@jax993]

I meet Michael when I worked at Fishermans Wharf on the Gold Coast, saw so so many bands from around the world when I worked there was a time 2 be alive music was still played raw & heavy so much charisma, I still have va massive framed black n white pic of him, followed them since surfing days as a young 20 something from the 1st album 2 the last
