Ah, we know, some others don't :) But yes, so many groups that have that greatness since the 60s.

[@kernpoa]

Believe me, I've been following Australian bands since the 80's. I love Australian rock I'm from Brazil and I have cds from several Australian bands: INXS, Hunters & Collectors, Noiseworks, Hoodoo Gurus, Spy vs Spy, James Rayne, Midnight Oil, Gang Gajang, Crowded House, Diesel, Australian Crawl, Cold Chisel, AC / DC, The Angels, The Choirboys etc ... etc ... I'm not the only one!

[@marshabailey1121]

Best frontman of all time and a helluva singer.

[@marshabailey1121]

Reputedly the best live band of the 80s.

[@JoSedunary]

MIchael was like a magnet...you literally couldn't take your eyes off him when he was on stage...or on the screen... great band. When they first started a lot of people said he was trying to be a Mick Jagger knockoff... personally I never saw that... Michael just oozed an appeal that I haven't found in anyone else.

[@bodybalanceU2]

michael was more in the style of jim morrison - both had that sensuality that jagger never possessed

[@JoSedunary]

@@bodybalanceU2 Totally agree !

[@nickmaguire4914]

Straight bloke who paid $6 to see them at the Rules Club in Wagga c1982 says Michael is one the most charismatic people that have graced the stage. Objectively you have to say he was hot AF, leaving aside he could really sing!

[@JoSedunary]

@@nickmaguire4914 Totally agree...Saw them a fair few times whilst they were living in Perth back in the early early days.... Talented bunch of musicians for sure...the Fariss bros were blessed with great genes also !

[@bennine888]

I think Michael was better than Mick. Not that he would ever have tried to be anyone else, let alone him. Michael had so much more to him. Aside from his sex appeal. His talent was off the charts.

[@JoelWende]

One of the reasons why concerts of this era and before were so great...not a bloody phone in site! These days it'd be 1000's of people staring at screens!

[@sandgroperwookiee65]

I was a 26 year old Aussie🇦🇺 living in the UK for 3 years at the time and went to this concert. It was absolutely amazing. Just walking into the venue the Vibe was so killer. It was an afternoon evening concert, starting off with bands like.. Hothouse Flowers, Deborah Harry, Jesus Jones, Roachford, and Jellyfish. Then INXS took the stage and blew us all away. 56 now & still get off on this concert. RIP Michael ❤️ You should check out some Roachford too!! Start with 'Only to be with you'. 👍👍 Very cool stuff😎

This right here. Give me a time machine with the option to go to one concert ever, and it would be this one. What a sensational live act. 10/10 absolutely unbeatable at their peak. Three brothers and a few school friends absolutely conquering the world, and having a ball doing it.

Yes, I would too

[@stevemurrell6167]

I'd go back just 12 years to River Plate (AC/DC) but this would definitely be next.

[@ashleydixon4613]

Omg yes, absolutely. I was only 16 and on the other side of the globe, in Arkansas. I’ve been a HUGE INXS fan since the 80’s, when I was just old enough to really start getting into bands, but w/o the type of parents willing to fly/drive me to Dallas or somewhere else relatively close, I missed out on seeing them w/Michael. I did see them in 2006 w/JD Fortune and it was still in my top 5 concerts ever! It wasn’t just Michael, these guys are real brothers/friends and have great chemistry together. They really come across as the type of guys I’d love to kick back and hang out with, aside from being great musicians.

[@user-sr1kc6jj2b-p1q]

I actually was lucky enough to see them in San Diego in the mid 80's and met them backstage. I was in beauty school then and offered to do their hair if they would take me with them. Unfortunately Michael said their girlfriends wouldn't like that. He did say my hair looked cool. I said his was cooler. That was pretty much it. I cried when he died. So sad. I loved INXS.

[@bigoz1977]

RIP Michael an absolute legend and true performer 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@bdbowkertube]

To be at an INXS concert was an experience like no other - Michael Hutchence had an amazing stage presence that I have not seen since. He had the ability to make u feel like you were the only person in the room and he just oozed sex appeal.

[@jayden2ful]

Aussies always keep this band alive, they a engrained in our hearts, minds and culture and right up there with our best.

[@ragebait988]

The INXS album Listen like thieves is the best sounding Vinyl record ive heard. He was probably the last 'real' Rockstar.

To an Aussie teen in the late 1980’s he defined the word sensual. And the music was pretty freaking good too!

[@Josh_JKL]

Michael's stage presence always reminded me a bit of Freddie Mercury. This clip is a good example of that. When you get to INXS's song 'Origin Sin'. Make sure to read up on why it was banned on many US radio stations

[@JOVONO]

Freddie Mercury was the showman - he commanded the audience Michael connected with the audience

[@Jayzphoto]

Best band ever. Michael’s voice was unreal & the band was a very tight outfit. Such an awesome back catalogue of songs. I was lucky enough to see them live 5 times then once more after Michael passed. That whole Wembley gig is worth checking out, they were at their peak. Only would’ve been topped if they’d closed with Don’t Change.

[@The_Calm_Chaos]

RIP Michael Hutchence. He was one of a kind.

[@Missykat75]

You have to watch this whole concert - amazing! It stands up there with Live Aid, Queens Wembley concert, Glastonbury, Prince Purple Rain tour, U2 zooTV, Madonna Blonde Ambition, John Farnham and Cold Chisel, these are ones I’ve seen in my lifetime.

INXS - The Loved One (Live) Wembley Stadium 1991... Worth a look. 😉

Inxs, Wembley should be the concert all artists aspire to. They were always brilliant live and I only wish I could have been there for this.

[@slartibartfast99]

Had a ticket for this concert, but, as it was an all day gig and I didn't think much of the support acts, I sold it to a mate. Probably my biggest regret

[@adamcooper1898]

My favorite ever frontman and incase you didn't realise he was putting on a Pommy accent for the crowd 😂. He was separated from his little girl and only child Tiger-Lilly who was in England when he tragically died in Sydney. I can relate because there's no worse hurt than not seeing your child . Much love Michael X.

[@neridahicks7160]

More Aussie legends. You could take any song from that whole concert and play it . We miss Michael, biggest loss ever 🥲

[@bennine888]

EVERY song on just about every album they had was just as good as this! Even better. The sound they had was well before their time. No one else compared. It was so unique & still sounds just as current as today! If only he was alive today. It would have been amazing to hear what they would have produced later on. Michael's stage presence was electrifying. Addictive & hypnotic. Always leaves you wanting more. We miss you Michael 💗

[@caro.k2958]

So glad you loved 💕 it! INXS were fire 🔥 live. Their sound was unique a blend of techno, rock soul and funk. Thankyou so much for the rebirth on your channel. RIP Michael ❤️ Though his death was officially recorded as suicide it was as a direct result of a serious head injury caused when he was blind sucker punched while walking down the street with his girlfriend. He suffered greatly afterwards so tragic. Thanks again for your reaction it was all I hoped it would be and more!

[@roniboyd613]

Did not know about the sucker punch-damn! Love their music and still listen to it occasionally.

[@Rastusmishka12]

Loved your reaction! INXS, biggest band in the world, only rivaled by U2 at the time of Michael's passing. "Never Tear Us Apart" is another one of many great ones.

[@kathyreid4735]

INXS was the first proper concert I went to in 1988. They were absolutely fantastic. It was so good to experience concerts without mobile phones because you could just be mesmerized by the performance instead of trying to record it.

[@patcurrie9888]

He kissed his best friend Andrew, his HS friend that brought him into the group. They co wrote most INXS songs.

The only thing better than GETTING this video/song is sharing it with folks who haven’t before… it’s beautiful

[@jamma2916]

💥 Well now you have to put your two wild men together: Jimmy Barnes and Michael Hutchence singing Good Times! I like the video version best. The Wembley interview the band said that they took a pay cut to do the filming. Many TYs to them! It left them a lifetime legacy! I have it taped. Late one night cruising the TV choices the old Audience channel had this on. I missed the 80's raising babies, didn't have cable TV never watched MTV. Imagine my surprise when I so late in life discovered this group, and then I started watching the singer.... Best concert ever. What a remarkable timeless group of players! The musicality is insane. I went right now this rabbit hole, still there 💕

[@yuhgftp7925]

Yes actually 🎤🎶🤘👌

Thank you so much for doing these videos and helping younger people discover the genius of INXS (and Michael Hutchence). What I’ve always found super unique and interesting about them is that the melody is completely carried by Michael’s vocal without any instrument sharing the load. So he’s literally dining just over a beat/riff. Thank you again from a Gen X’er 😊

[@peterlucas789]

l enjoyed your reactions just as much as watching the song.

[@dipsydoodle7988]

Fantastic reaction. Every song you choose from this performance will be absolute fire guaranteed. I was fortunate enough to see this tour back in the day and it left a permanent mark on me. INXS were huge back in the day and well known as one of the premier live acts of the time. For INXS fans, the loss of Michael still affects us. It brought a tear to my eye to hear you say he's been reborn. Please keep looking into them, both live and videos. For the next live performance I'd love to see you react to Original Sin or Suicide Blonde from this same show, or The Loved One live in 87 from Australia. You will be amazed.

INXS slogged it out on the Aussie pub circuit for years before they made it big in Europe and the US.

I saw the Kick album concert at the Sydney entertainment centre as a 16yr old in 1988. It was the best concert I've ever been to hands down (different type of concert to John farnham) until I saw pink. The moment of the INXS concert was never tear us apart and that pause, it went on for what seemed like minutes and the lights all went off. When the first note was played lights flashed on the stage and Michael's voice echoed around the venue. It was electrifying!
