Reviews Customer Reviews for INXS Live Baby Live      Good Band, Bad Videography      Rating:      I really wanted to like this, but there is trouble when I find myself getting up from the chair to do household chores when a band is performing. There is no question of Michael Hutchence's rock charisma and value as the band's voice and frontman. No question either of the band's ability to write and perform catchy rock tunes. Somebody forgot they were FILMING this, and that our eyes like to see some COLOR and some VISUAL INTEREST. Maybe it's what I call the "Wembley Syndrome" - for some reason, I've never liked any performance that has been filmed at Wembley Stadium. To me, it seems dank and tomblike, that's how it shows on film. It doesn't help that there is constant smoke in the air which sometimes occludes a good view of the performers. The stage designer is held at fault for a bland and colorless setting for the performance. The band is at fault for wearing mostly black and white, the exception being two red shirts until a minor costume change for the encore. The band is also at fault for ending the main set with a wimper instead of a frenzy, fortunately they end the encore with The Devil Inside. Visually, just not interesting. The musical performance is fine - buy the CD instead.     Customer Reviews for INXS Live Baby Live Cd      Gotta have it!      Rating:      If you are an INXS fan, you gotta have this amazing material live from Wembley Stadium. Helicopters, cranes and of course an AMAZING performance of INXS make this DVD one of the best I've ever seen. Best Regards, Mauricio Mexico City, Mexico Editorial Reviews for INXS Live Baby Live Audio Cd      Amazon.com      INXS fans can rejoice over the release of this buoyant concert film, shot during an ecstatic performance before 72,000 hopping fans in London's Wembley Stadium on July 13, 1991. The Australian band's vocalist, the late Michael Hutchence, is at his feral-romantic 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 Jagger-esque take on confessional soul in "The Loved One," and milks "Never Tear Us Apart" for all it's worth. The band sounds more muscular than they did in the studio, hard-charging and rough on "Suicide Blonde," drunk on a jazzy guitar hook in "Need You Tonight," and completely danceable on "Bitter Tears." --Tom Keogh
