Love reliving and watching the video of the concert with your play by play. I got goosebumps at 4:07. What a god-damned shame we lost him way too soon. Love to the other guys in the band, and you.

I’ve never watched this before...Incredible concert. I’ve never watched this before, but when they kick off New Sensation, it’s one of the most powerful performances and crowd responses I’ve ever seen! I was more of an ‘80s art school chick (on my Vespa, giant portfolio case bungeed horizontially to the chrone back rack, lifting the tail up like a plane as I blasted downtown on Jarvis St. in Toronto, a little hung over and always late for school) than ‘90s, but always loved INXS! I forgot how many great songs they had, and, watching the concert, I now remember every single one like the back of my hand. HT ‘slithering’ onstage is a great description: I love him in their earlier music video for One Thing... the video quality is lousy, but he hypnotizes the viewer as he swirls like an eel, seducing the camera. Being incredibly sexy, creative, talented, sensitive, shy and famous is an overpowering burden for some... his shocking death still haunts me, and I sometimes think of his daughter, Tiger Lily, (who has now come in to her inheritance) and how hard things must have been for everyone. BTW, the website is really acting up.MindYourPsAndQshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787415172382842664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-6284850540501813302018-03-27T12:25:58.959-07:002018-03-27T12:25:58.959-07:00@imjustcurious Wow, what a memory!

I wish I never quit playing instruments. I played guitar many years (won songwriting contest 2nd grade! it was about mowing the lawn but truth be told I only came in first after it was found out Danielle plagiarized her first place song, scandalous..) same year I won hat design contest, yep I peaked at nine years old. later years I could keep a drum beat and I could also play pixies "gigantic" entirely on bass . lol basement band was fun!<br /><br />anyhow after the concert I went fooling around looking for stuff and came upon this: https://youtu.be/ZNaNigEwssQ<br /><br />at first I was like do I like this? and you know what. I do! I like it alot. this is how you respectfully honor a classic without fucking it up. as a matter of fact I think I love this. well done!<br /><br />lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08034297445525892294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-11761521843458975662018-03-26T17:53:09.601-07:002018-03-26T17:53:09.601-07:00Fuck that old shit, I saw GnR at Wembley that year...Fuck that old shit, I saw GnR at Wembley that year and that was a ROCK concert.

I was at Live Aid at Wembley in 1985. 16 years old. Detested Queen with a vengeance as only a teenager can, however they bled the roof off that Stadium that day and were by far the most amazing act. I am still clearly remember their set all these years later and still get goose bumps thinking about it.

Thanks for sharing, Himmmms 1 & 3. <br /><br />INXS was huuuuge in the US after the release of Kick, MTV was playing the videos all the time.
