Reviewer: Chad Malone

Remember that band that stole all of our hearts in the late 80's? No, I'm not talking about Flock of Seagulls, I'm talking about INXS! They had smash hits such as Need You Tonight and... well that's about it. But for the fans, they didn't need smash hits to fully appreciate the sound this foreign band brought to the US.

This concert video was one of the best directed I think I've ever seen. I tried to count how many different cameras they were using, but I lost track. It was also edited really well. As far as being a good concert video, it's great. As far as being a good concert, well, that all depends on whether or not you like INXS.

The concert was filmed at Wembley Stadium in 1991, during which was obviously INXS's peak of success. I don't think they could fill a football stadium like that now... especially since the lead singer passed away awhile ago. But this concert really captures INXS in all of their glory to 72,000 screaming fans. You can tell that the concert is kind of outdated considering the guitarist looks like someone out of Lambda Lambda Lambda (props to Revenge of the Nerds.)

This DVD also has a lot of special features that INXS fans around the world will love. It has a 40 minute behind the scenes documentary, an interview with the band members, photo gallery, and much more. You'll be happy with all it has to offer, and perhaps will take you back to the days when you had their posters on your wall and you had a huge crush on Michael Hutchence.

It's replay value is about the same as any other concert video. You'll watch it once then probably won't ever pop it in again unless there's some specific reason to do so. But for the one time viewing, it's quite a pleasant experience. Live Baby Live!!!
