INXS Live Baby Live Wembley Stadium (1991)

INXS fans can rejoice over the release of this buoyant concert film shot during an ecstatic performance before 72000 hopping fans in Londons Wembley Stadium on 13 July 1991 The Australian bands vocalist the late Michael Hutchence is at his feralromantic best stalking and swiveling his way through an energized set of welterweight pop The show starts with a big boomy Guns In The Sky takes a turn toward unexpected soulfulness with New Sensation and spreads the wealth with a sharp set of ballads and rockers Hutchence has fun with a naughty Know The Difference plays around with a Jaggeresque take on confessional soul in The Loved One and milks Never Tear Us Apart for all its worth The band sounds more muscular than they did in the studio hardcharging and rough on Suicide Blonde drunk on a jazzy guitar hook in Need You Tonight and completely danceable on Bitter Tears
