INXS was an unbelievable band that's gotten a little lost to time because of Michael's untimely passing. I absolutely love seeing people on YT discovering their brilliance. They should have been in the R&R Hall of Fame a long time ago.
I was lucky enough to see INXS live several times - including being at this one. I would rate them as one if not the best live band i have seen personally. not just Micheal Hutchence's voice, but the way the band always sounded sooo good, like it was recorded on every occasion. They were special.
I saw INXS twice in Sydney, once at the Hordern Pavilion and once at Concert for Life. There aren't words for Michael, the consumate front man. The whole band is phemenomal, a wonderful representation of Australia, and a wonderful time in my life as a young person.
One of the last great front men. Anything from Wembly was great. One of my favs was What you need from this concert but they have a great back catalogue
I went travelling in Australia in my 20s, I worked as a labourer for an Aussie guy and he used to blast these guys and chisel. A decade later I binged them one evening and couldn't stop, Shabooh Shoobah to X were insane, the 90s albums grew on me and I think Elegantly Wasted was very very good but overshadowed by what happened. I love how they started off New Wave reminding me a little of Roxy Music, then they change it up by Switch, then come in completely different on Listen Like Thieves. Quality band
72,000 people rocking out to INXS pronounced [In-ex-cess] at the original Wembly stadium in London , was peak INXS. This show was on July 13th, 1991 and was record for a live cd/video called Live Baby Live. It was a daylight show originally, and when the 4k transfer came out, they color graded it to look like it was at night. It's really cool all the gen Z's are just discovering them.
First of all the band is pronounced In Excess. This was INXS at their peak in 1991 and selling out Wembley Stadium with a crowd of 75,000 which at the time was a major accomplishment for an Australian band to sell out a show in London at Wembley. This whole show is absolute magic and should be watched from beginning to end to appreciate this band fully
I can’t believe people have never heard of INXS (in excess). Michael Hutchence was the best frontman, charismatic, a superb lyricist and that voice, that tone, gives you chills ❤ The whole band was exceptional and Andrew Farris wrote most of the music to Michael’s lyrics 🇦🇺 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Songs_written_by_Michael_Hutchence I would suggest Mystify from inception to recording to in concert ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-26ELh7P2ZtA.htmlsi=W9pf9p6C0lFyEaCq
Michael Hutchence is a cross between Jim Morrison and Mick Jagger. Don't know how many was in there but the old Wembley Stadium used to hold 100,000 in the stands
Was lucky enough to see INXS live in my home town of Melbourne several times. Their performances were so slick and Michael was probably the most charismatic frontman I’ve seen - he had the uncanny ability to make you feel like you are in an intimate setting one moment, then the next, experiencing a huge event. They are the real deal and worth exploring their catalog, particularly live, where their magic truly lived!
Michael had a less popular but fascinating side project called Max-Q. He sings the shit out of "Way of the world". Still a topical and relevant song today.
Congratulations on your discovery...INXS ("in Excess") was AWESOME! You will enjoy all their albums. (Don't sweat the mispronunciation of the name. Way back in the 80s, when I heard my first INXS song, I thought they were I N X S too...)
"In Excess"...it hurts my ears to hear you read off the letters...LOL Meet the late great GOAT frontman, Michael Hutchence. Poet, lyricist, writer of melodies and possessed of some serious magic. Nobody like him. Biggest band out of Oz ever and, with U2, they dominated the 80s rock scene. Bill Hader? Bill wishes. However, Michael has been compared - and very aptly - to Jim Morrison. Power ballad...Never Tear Us Apart.
I’ve been saying that for years. I seriously don’t get it, why they’ve never even been nominated. They had so many great hits, and ruled the airwaves and concert venues (obviously) for the better part of two decades.
He was a very charasmatic sexy frontman with a sexy voice. Stage presence indeed. "Need You Tonight" must be the next song from them. The sexiest song ever
As a man I tear up on certain lines of some songs, like this one at the line "I'll be your shoulder. You can tell me all. That's the reason why I'm here"
I cried too! Still get sad as he was such a part of my college experience -we saw them live at ISU Normal, IL 1985-Listen Like Thieves Tour-sooooooo good!
That whole show is just pure perfection - the energy is infectious. Michael Hutchence was the last rock star. What stage presence. He and the other five members of INXS made some music that still stands up today. Definitely check out their catalog.
Michael Hutchence just had it all. INXS will always hold a special place in my heart. I have seen this concert at Wembley probably a hundred times and I say the same thing every single time, just look at that audience! 🔥
*IN EXCESS* is how you say it. Hutch is late lead singer, Michael Hutchence's nickname. This concert was in 1991, not 1981 as you said. INXS is a band that has been around for a long long time and has had many great songs. The loss of Hutch was a devastating world event.
You have great taste. The one key signature that makes up the bands sound is Jon’s complex rhythms found on songs as early as “Body language” Driving beats first heard in “On a Bus” punctuated specifically on “Same Direction” and that signature clap in time anthemic drumming first heard in “The one thing” that would be repeated through his career. Now that is one man that knows how to use a set of Pearls. Jon is overlooked by many writers and reviews. And will hardly feature in the greatest drummer lists but among drummers he’s up there. And yes he was cute at the time. The majority of INXS’s sound came about due to how far forward the drums were pushed in the mix and how Jon is a driving force behind it. Jon a true legend and importantly a Farris
Fanfrickentastic!! INXS said as In Excess! Were one of the biggest bands in the world in the late 80s and early 90s! Anything from this show is awesome, a personal fav is What You Need! They were always best live! 20 years of hits to check out!! My name and avatar may suggest that I'm a fan😂 Great suggestion Damian 👍
“Kiss the Dirt (Falling Down the Mountain)” is an absolute banger too and the official video is as Outback Aussie as it gets. From their earlier album Listen Like Thieves, they interrupted their US tour and flew back to Australia for one day just to film this in the scorching heat of the red dirt desert near Coober Peedy, the opal mining capital of the world. A beautifully layered track & a visual feast, right before they took the rest of the world by storm with the Kick album.
Other great songs from this concert are The Stairs, By My Side , Never Tear Us Apart, Suicide Blonde, and What You Need. Actually, the whole concert is great!
Loved watching you experience this! Michael Hutchence was one of the most charismatic people ever. And he had such a great voice too. There are a lot of good songs to choose from this show. I hope you'll do more.
Next one you do of INXS should be, Good Times, with Jimmy Barns and friends. This is the best version. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J9wX_87J-54.htmlsi=FEBgkDSB16IUwKCs Also Never Tare Us Apart original video is best.
Anything from this show will blow your mind! I saw them at a very small venue in 86 and they were still so incredible. ❤ My only show I got to see, but I am so thankful I was able to go! R. I. P. Michael. 💔
@@peterholmes2485 Oh!!! I was not referring to Your comment!!! I agree with You! You know of course how he died... That's what I meant... He died for no reason at all... Spur of the moment thing... All GOOD with Your comment!!! 💙💙💙💙💙🦩✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
@@DonnaGisellaTranchelthank you Donna I didn't want to upset anyone. Seeing this video just made me think what a waste of a beautiful man with great talent.
It’s In- excess.. inxs.. millions of Aussie cringe when people say it the way you said it.. they were the best live band on the planet back then and still are the best live band . Us Aussies were so spoiled growing up with amazing live bands back in the 70s,80s and 90s all played live and sung live.. 😊🇦🇺
Listen to never tear us apart. My husband did security at a music venue and he loved working when INXS played he said they sounded just like their recordings and Michael was amazing live. 😢
Legendary front man backed by incredible band.Hutchence was one of those very special God like front men that only come along every so often.Brilliant voice and such a powerful stage presence.What a loss .
Ah, Michael Hutchence. The baby Mick Jagger, a natural-born Frontman. Vocals, intelligence, charisma, musicality, drive, he had it all. So tragic that he suffered an accidental head injury that changed him deeply. One of few that could be in the same league with Jagger, Plant...any of the best. 💋❤🤟
It's true. I am from Canada (Ottawa) at the time and went to their concert at 13 or 14. Went by myself and never felt a more family atmosphere. I under stand the Irony of how Micheal struggled with life but as a teen, this band not only sounded just as great live as they did on their records. INXS was world wide at the time.
